Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

I am in the state of florida. a friend of mines brother went to jail for robbing a bank. the police went to the school of my friends son who is a minor and asked them questions about his uncle without the consent or knowledge of my friend. is that allowed by the school to let a minor be recorded and interviewed without parental consent? is it right for the police to have gone there and interviewed and taped my friends minor child without parental permission or knowledge??
