As previously stated, the youth court did not have jurisdiction over Miller's case. "Since the Youth Court Act did not apply, parental notification was unnecessary." See Cauthen v. Booker, 769 So.2d 227, 229 (ΒΆ 6) (Miss.Ct.App. 2000) (holding that the Youth Court Law did not apply because the defendant's actions fell outside of the scope of the youth court's jurisdiction). The record clearly shows that Miller gave statements to the police knowingly and voluntarily.
