(a) It shall be the duty and responsibility of each parent of a minor to ensure that the minor does not violate Section 531.01 of this Chapter, either by personal supervision of the minor, or by arranging for a responsible adult to supervise the minor so that the minor does not violate Section 531.01.
(b) When a minor is taken into custody as a result of a violation of Section 531.01, a violation of subsection (a) will be deemed to have occurred, and it shall be presumed that either or both of the minor’s parents are responsible for failure to comply with subsection (a) of this section. This presumption may be rebutted as to either or both parents at a proceeding held pursuant to Section 531.05.
(c) Each violation of subsection (a) of this section shall be deemed a noncriminal infraction for which a civil penalty of fifty dollars ($50.00) shall be assessed against the responsible parent or parents, jointly. Each parent shall be jointly and severally liable for the civil penalty, unless responsibility is determined otherwise at a proceeding held pursuant to Section 531.05. (Ord. 79-2011. Passed 6-29-11.)
