Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Probation officer entering home to see juvenile when no parent is present
Is it legal for a juvenile's probation officer to enter the juvenile's home (for unannounced inspections of his room) when there is no parent at home? The mother is at work during the day and the parole officer visits the home when she is not there (and no other adult is present). Does the mother have the right to have the child refuse entry to the parole officer when the mother is not present in the home? (The 13-year-old was convicted of writing on the bathroom wall at school and sentenced to community service and probation.)

I can't answer your questions specifically, but it's often a condition of probation that the defendant be required to submit to search and seizure.
