§ 30-52. Parental responsibility.

Latest version.

It is unlawful for a parent having legal custody of a minor knowingly to permit, or by ineffective control to allow, such minor to be or remain upon any city street or parking lot under circumstances not constituting a defense to, or otherwise beyond the scope of, this division. The term "knowingly" includes knowledge which a parent should reasonably be expected to have concerning the whereabouts of a minor in that parent's legal custody. It is intended that a reasonable community standard of parental responsibility be applied through an objective test. It shall be no defense that a parent was completely indifferent to the activities or the conduct or whereabouts of such a minor.
