Legal Question in Criminal Law in Oklahoma

Juvenile law

My 16 yo son was a passenger in a car driven by another 16 yo. They were both intoxicated and the driver refused to stop when signaled by the arresting officer, when stopped, they were both given breathalyzer tests, handcuffed and released into parental custody. The officer did not read the boys their miranda rights nor tell them the charges. My son was charged with minor consumption under 21 and curfew violation.
