3 The United States Supreme Court has recognized the importance of such parental authority. In Griffin v. Wisconsin (1987) 483 U.S. 868, 107 S.Ct. 3164, 97 L.Ed.2d 709, in which the court upheld a statute authorizing a warrantless search of a probationer's residence upon " 'reasonable grounds,' " the court noted that, by analogy, "one might contemplate how parental custodial authority would be impaired by requiring judicial approval for search of a minor child's room." ( Id. at p. 876, 107 S.Ct. 3164.)
