Before taking any action to enforce this chapter, a police officer shall ask the apparent offender's age. The officer may ask for proof of the apparent offender's age and shall be justified in taking action to ascertain the apparent offender's age in the absence of identification, such as taking the apparent offender into custody while contacting his or her parent or guardian, or accompanying the apparent offender to his or her residence for the purpose of obtaining identification.
If the apparent offender is a minor, or cannot produce identification proving otherwise immediately, the officer shall ask the reason for the apparent offender's being in a public place. The officer shall not take any action to enforce this section unless the officer reasonably believes, based upon the response of the apparent offender as well as the totality of the circumstances, no exception to this section applies. If the officer does have such a reasonable belief, the officer on duty may detain any child violating § 155-2, 155-4, 155-5 or 155-6 until such time as the parent, legal guardian or other adult person having legal custody of the child has been immediately notified and the person so notified has, as soon as reasonably possible thereafter, reported to the Police Department for the purpose of taking the child into custody and has signed a release for him.
The first time a child is detained by law enforcement officers as provided in § 155-7, the parent, legal guardian or person having legal custody shall be advised as to the provisions of this chapter, and any violation of this chapter occurring thereafter by this child or any other child under such adult's care or custody shall result in a penalty being imposed as provided in § 155-9.

Any child who violates any of the provisions of this chapter shall be subject to penalty as provided in Chapter 1, § 1-4, of this Code.
