Rule 13.8. Waiver of constitutional rights

Waiver of constitutional rights by the minor shall not be admissible unless his parents, or guardians, or court-appointed defender and his attorney are present. Said waiver by the minor shall be openly expressed and the judge must ascertain that it is done freely, knowingly, and that the minor and his parents are aware of the consequences of such waiver. Nevertheless, the presence of the attorney shall not be required for the waiver of the right to legal representation.
