While you are in the care of the school district, the principal is the acting parental figure. The law is called " en local parentes". Also if the child is grown enough to drink, then the child is grown enough to be checked. I doubt the parents knew about the consumption of alcohol.

If they can breathalize me and im 17 then they surely can breathalize a 13-year-old. There is no breathalizing age limit.

I think a police officer has no right, whatsoever, to give a breathalizer test to a 13 year old, without parental permission. A 13 year old is still a child, and therefore, is a minor - and is still under parental guidance.

I think it alright to give a breathalizer test to a young teen. The Police has a job to protect others and their safety.
