3. “It is clear Hill had no constitutional or statutory right to have his parents present during his interrogation for this capital crime. Additionally, pursuant to Clemons [ v. State, 733 So.2d 266 (Miss. 1999) (a case involving a fourteen-year-old defendant)], it appears equally certain that Hill's parents could not assert his constitutional rights to counsel and against self-incrimination on his behalf as this matter was in the jurisdiction of the circuit court beyond the protective environment of our youth court.”
