(a) Any arrest warrant issued by the municipal court for a child shall bear a conspicuous notation that the arrestee is a child and that the provisions of applicable state statutes must be observed in executing the warrant.

(b) Whenever a child is arrested, the arresting officer or municipal court marshal shall notify a parent without unnecessary delay. Such notification may be made to a person with whom the child is residing if a parent, guardian, or legal custodian cannot be located.

(c) As soon as practicable after any child is arrested, he or she shall be placed in the custody of the municipal court marshal, who shall comply with this section and applicable state statutes in detaining the child.

(d) If a parent or other responsible adult responds to the place of detention and signs a written promise to appear with the child at all subsequent court appearances, the child shall then be released to the care of such individual, unless his or her immediate welfare or the protection of the community requires that he or she be detained. If a parent or other responsible adult executes the written promise, it shall not be necessary to post a bond. (Code 1979, § 23-30)
