Conn. Practice Book § 27-7

(a) Where the child or youth and the parent or

guardian affirm that they are ready to go forward

with the investigation, with or without counsel,

and to make a statement concerning the child’s or

youth’s responsibility for the alleged misconduct,

such affirmation must be embodied in a written

statement of responsibility executed by both child

or youth and parent, or guardian, and, in the case

of the child or youth, in the presence of the parent

or guardian.

(b) If a child or youth orally acknowledges

responsibility for the alleged misconduct but refuses

to execute a written statement of responsibility,

such an oral admission shall not be accepted as

the equivalent of an admission, and the case shall

be dealt with in the manner pre- scribed in Section

27-6. If the written statement of responsibility is

executed, the probation officer shall proceed with

the nonjudicial handling of the case.

(c) The age, intelligence and maturity of the child

or youth and the mutuality of interests between parent or guardian and child or youth shall be weighed

in determining their competency to execute such

written statement of responsibility.
