The right? Yes. The desire? No (I'm sure he'll share if I ask...j/k).

Right, but you'd probably say it's okay for parents to search a minor child's room, but you might have a problem with the cops just walking in and searching that room without a warrant. Don't you see the difference between parents' rights in this regard and the children's need to have constitutional protection against the police and other government agents?
