(A) It shall constitute a complete defense to any prosecution under § 130.53(B) if, at the time of issuance of the citation or warrant summons, the offending parent or spouse has an active beyond control petition pending in the County District Court.
(B) Any parent issued a citation or served a warrant summons by a law enforcement officer of violation of § 130.53(B) may, within 48 hours thereof, cause a beyond control petition to be initiated against the minor. If the parent obtains a beyond control petition in good faith within the 48-hour time period and the parent fully participates and cooperates in the proceeding against said minor, the filing of the beyond control petition shall constitute a complete defense to any prosecution for violating § 130.53(B).
