Latest version.
-
A response by the minor that a parent or legal guardian neither has knowledge nor has given consent to the minor's presence in or on the public street, park, square or public place in question shall constitute grounds for the officer to escort the minor in question to the address given, and to inform the parent or legal guardian of the actions of the minor in question. Should no parent or legal guardian be found at the address given, or if no address is given, the police officer shall call the parent or legal guardian of the minor at the phone number given, or at the phone number registered and listed with the phone company, and shall escort the minor home or to any other place within the City of Palmyra as desired by the parent or legal guardian. Should no parent or legal guardian answer the phone, or if no phone number is given or listed, the police officer shall turn the minor over to the proper juvenile authorities in Marion County, Missouri. Failure of the minor to respond to the police officer's inquiry shall be treated as a response by the minor that a parent or legal guardian neither has knowledge nor has given consent to the minor's presence in or on the public place in question.
