5.02.190 Taking a Child into Custody

A child may be taken into custody:

(a) Pursuant to an order of the Court.

(b) Pursuant to the laws of arrest.

(c) By a law enforcement officer or probation officer if there are reasonable grounds to believe:

(1) That the child is suffering from illness or injury, or is in immediate danger from his surroundings; and that his removal is necessary.

(2) That the child has run away from his parents, guardians, or other custodian.

The taking of a child into custody is not an arrest. The person taking the child into custody shall immediately notify the child's parents, guardian, or other custodian, and release the child to them.
