New York A07158 mandates police to notify parents or guardians of arrested youths, except when it endangers the youth.
New York A07158, known as the "chance to help notification act," amends the criminal procedure law. It requires police officers to immediately notify parents or guardians of youths arrested or issued an appearance ticket. The notification includes details such as the time and place for court appearance and the charged offense. However, officers need not notify parents if the youth is not a juvenile offender and such notification would endanger the youth's health or safety.
