Duty of officer; admissions by minor.(1) A law enforcement officer who arrests a minor with a warrant shall  immediately make a reasonable attempt to notify the parent or other person  legally responsible for the minor's care or the person with whom the minor  resides that the minor has been arrested and where he or she is being  held.  The minor shall be delivered without unnecessary delay to the court or  to the place designated by rule or order of court for the reception of minors.(2) A law enforcement officer who arrests a minor without a warrant under  Section 5-401  shall, if the minor is not released, immediately make a reasonable attempt to  notify the parent or other person legally responsible for the minor's care or  the person with whom the minor resides that the minor has been  arrested and where the minor is being held;  and the law enforcement officer  shall without unnecessary delay take the minor to the nearest juvenile police  officer designated for these purposes in the county of venue or shall surrender  the minor to a juvenile police officer in the city or village where the offense  is alleged to have been committed.  If a minor is taken into custody for an  offense which would be a misdemeanor if committed by an adult, the law  enforcement officer, upon determining  the true identity of the  minor, may release the minor to the parent or other person legally responsible  for the minor's care or the person with whom the minor resides.   If a minor is so released, the law enforcement officer shall  promptly notify a juvenile police officer of the circumstances of the custody  and release.(3) The juvenile police officer may take one of the following actions:(a) station adjustment and  release of the minor;(b) release the minor to his or her parents and refer     the case to Juvenile Court;(c) if the juvenile police officer reasonably     believes that there is an urgent and immediate necessity to keep the minor in custody, the juvenile police officer shall deliver the minor without unnecessary delay to the court or to the place designated by rule or order of court for the reception of minors;(d) any other appropriate action with consent of the     minor or a parent.(4) The factors to be considered in determining whether to release or keep  a minor in custody shall include:(a) the nature of the allegations against the minor;(b) the minor's history and present situation;(c) the history of the minor's family and the     family's present situation;(d) the educational and employment status of the     minor;(e) the availability of special resource or community     services to aid or counsel the minor;(f) the minor's past involvement with and progress in     social programs;(g) the attitude of complainant and community toward     the minor;  and(h) the present attitude of the minor and family.(5) The records of law enforcement officers concerning all minors taken  into custody  under this Act shall be maintained separate from the records of arrests of  adults and may not be inspected by or disclosed to the public except pursuant  to Section 5-901 and Section 5-905.
