Whenever a summons and complaint for a violation of this Code is filed against a child, the court shall send a parent or guardian, by first class mail, a notice that includes the alleged violation; date of the violation; location at which the violation occurred; and the date, time and place of the scheduled court appearance; and an order that the parent or guardian appear with the minor at each and every court appearance. It shall be the duty of each such parent to appear with the child at each and every court appearance. It shall be unlawful for a parent to fail to appear at each and every required court appearance or to fail to comply with the written promise to appear with the child. (Code 1979, § 23-26; Ord.
