I did not understand your question. However, a phone call could provide the answer you are looking for to the sheriff department. It would answer why there is a notice on your door, What your daughter allegedly was involved in etc. If you are asking whether notice was sufficient before proceeding then give me a call or email to discuss this matter further.

Unless I saw the notice I could not tell you.

If the notice said to contact them, it likely means they are investigating a crime, with someone as either a witness or a suspect. Unless you KNOW you or your family are only a witness, when questioned, about any crime, the proper free advice is to exercise the 5th Amendment right to SHUT UP and do NOT talk to police or anyone about the case except with and through an attorney.

Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. Since we do not have all the facts, it is not really possible to answer with complete accuracy. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced criminal law attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your problem. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze your case and advise you of your options.

She has probably gotten into trouble with the juvenile authorities and not told you. ASK.

I have no idea. You have given me absolutely no facts. . Your daughter is either a witness to a crime, or may be under investigation. Maybe they want to give her some school award. I dont know. Any thing I would tell you is pure speculation.

A notice from law enforcement posted on the door of residents normally means that the law enforcement officer wants to talk to the person referred to in the notice. In the case of a minor the notice is for the parents of the minor and is requesting that the parents and the minor make an appointment to see the officer. If you have reason to believe that this request concerns something illegal that your daughter may be involved in then take a lawyer with you to the interview.

Just make sure the parents aren't stupid enough to let their daughter talk to law enforcement with a lawyer present.

Possibly a warrant for her arrest.

Most likely, your daughter is a suspect in a crime and they want to speak to you about interviewing your daughter. I would suggest you seek to consult with an experienced criminal defense attorney now.

So then, you, being the parent, would be the one it is addressed to - correct? What is so confusing about this I don't understand. Does it literally say "to the parents of 'X'" All I know is that if I were you, I'd have a sit down and a long talk with that 17 year old girl. I bet she know what this is about!
