(A) It is the policy of the village that a parent or legal guardian of a minor be notified and required to appear in court whenever that minor is charged with a violation of an ordinance or state statute which requires the minor's appearance in court. To this end, it is hereby directed that a notice in substantially the following form be sent to the parents or legal guardians of the minor:
LEGAL NOTICE
TO: (Parents' Names)
FROM: Village of Orland Hills
You are hereby notified that (minor's name) has been charged with an offense which is a violation of a Village ordinance or State statute and which requires the appearance of said minor in Court. You are further notified that one of the parents of said minor must appear in Court before the case will be tried or be disposed.
If you fail to appear, the Village Prosecutor has been directed to have issued a subpoena to bring you into Court. Failure to obey a subpoena can result in contempt of Court, with a fine or imprisonment as the penalty.
(B) The Village Prosecutor is hereby directed to have subpoenas issued whenever a parent or legal guardian of a minor does not appear in court after the first two times said case has been before the court.
