Hello, great question! Essentially, a 16 year old would not need legal representation, however, they will need an adult to accompany them in legal proceedings. That said, it would be wise to seek legal advice anyway and get some representation should charges be pressed.
I hope this helps, best of luck. Our solicitors at New South Law would be happy to assist you should you choose to get some legal advice.
