(A) The parent or legal guardian of an unemancipated minor who resides with the parent or legal guardian, shall be liable for actual damages caused by the acts of vandalism of the unemancipated minor, if the parent or legal guardian is on notice as provided in § 134.29. In cases in which a parent or legal guardian is on notice, the parent or legal guardian shall be made a party defendant in all enforcement proceedings hereunder against the unemancipated minor child and shall be served with all citations, summons, complaints, notices, and other documents required to be served the unemancipated minor defendant. In cases in which a parent or legal guardian is not on notice, the parent or legal guardian shall not be made a party defendant but shall be served either by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or by personal service with a written notice of proceedings against the parent's or legal guardian's unemancipated minor, a copy of the complaint, and notice of the results of any hearing, trial, or adjudication.
(B) When on notice, the parent or legal guardian or an unemancipated minor defendant shall be liable for any condition of restitution or reparation imposed by a court upon the unemancipated minor for committing an act of vandalism. The court shall order that:
(1) The parent or legal guardian shall be liable only after the unemancipated minor fails to fulfill the conditions of restitution or reparation within a period of time not to exceed six months; or
(2) The parent or legal guardian and unemancipated minor be immediately, jointly and severally liable.
