Adults protesting children

   I was talking to a friend last night whos 14 yr old had been protested by an adult during club sailing. I don't know the ins and outs of the case but the child was in the protest hearing by himself and he lost the case. It doesn't seem fair that 4 adults can accuse and judge the child without some sort of representation or help for the child, it just seemed that this situation would be so intimidating for most children that it doesn't appear fair. Is this covered by any particular rules or if children are racing with adults they have to be treated like adults?
