A minor was drug tested without parental consent. The man who administered the drug test was a probation officer. However, the child who was drug tested is not on probation. The mother would not have consented to the search of her child.
Is there anything from protecting this child from illegal search and seizure?

I'm sorry but there is SO MUCH missing from this story.

Where did this occur?

If the child who was drug tested, they what authority did this "probation officer who is not his probation officer" claim to have in administering this test? Would the child have been subjected to some form of disciplinary action for failing to comply with the test?

What were the circumstances surrounding the testing of the child?

How do you know that the mother would not and did not consent to the test?

What is YOUR relationship/role in this incident?

Why was the probation officer involved? Was junior under arrest at the time of the test?

Was the test taken by blood? By urine?

How old is the minor?

There are a great many reasons why a drug test would be perfectly legal. Perhaps if you provide some details we can speak to the matter a little more clearly.
