(b) When a minor is taken into custody as a result of curfew, then a violation of Section 650.02(a) or 650.02(b), depending on the age of the minor, will be deemed to have occurred, and it shall be presumed that the minor's parent, including either or both natural or adopted parents, is responsible for failure to comply with division (a) of this section. This presumption may be rebutted as to the minor's parent, including either or both natural or adopted parents, at a proceeding held pursuant to Section 650.06.
