Is it illegal for police to question a minor without a parent or guardian present?

How old is the "minor"?

May depend on the state. But generally yes. Still need Miranda.

You raising shite heads?

depends on the state...here in Texas, a juvenile can be questioned so long as they're not under custodial interrogation. if they are, then a parent or guardian has to be present prior to and during (unless waived) or the statements are (supposed to be) inadmissible.

Super context-specific question. Is the minor the suspect or a witness? Was the interview custodial or merely info gathering?
You aren’t going to get the right answer here.

You should watch Making a Murderer and see how Brenden Dassey was interrogated.

What did the minor do? Or what is the minor getting asked about?

Newsflash - Cops can do pretty much whatever they want and I wish I was joking. They can literally beat the shite out of you while you're in handcuffs and 10 other cops will show up and defend their actions. Don't believe me? There are multiple instances of this happening on videos you can watch for yourself online.
So...can they question a minor without a parent or guardian present? Yes. They do what they want and you're supposed to just go along with it each and every time regardless of how much they are violating your rights, simply because they are a law enforcement officer. Don't you dare resist because this will just make it much worse.
Should they question a minor without a parent or guardian present, and is this legal and/or moral and ethical? Well that depends on who you ask.

Based on all of the back story furnished by the OP, probably sometimes the answer is yes and no.

This kind of question is case in point of why people’s perceptions of attorneys being “crooks for billing so much per hour” is so absurd.
It’s a poorly thought out question, light on crucial detail, so it would take me about fifteen minutes to type out a mini treatise in response. I’m only capable of typing out said treatise because I have years of incredibly specialized education and experience.
Or hey, go “read a law book”. It should all be in there, after all.
