What this law says, in plain English
Courts must appoint a guardian ad litem for a child in delinquency proceedings when the child appears without a parent or guardian, when there is a conflict of interest, or when the court deems it in the child's best interest. Parents and attorneys cannot restrict the guardian ad litem's access to the child.
