A. It is unlawful for any person who has under his or her control, custody or guidance any minor child under six years of age to at any time lock, confine or permit to be locked or confined or to leave unattended, any such child in any automobile, truck or other motor vehicle upon any public street, alley or public parking facility or other public or private property where parking or drive-in facilities are offered to the public within the city limits for any period of time exceeding 30 minutes. A child is unattended within the meaning of this chapter if the oldest person with such child is a person under the age of 13 years.

B. It shall be lawful for any policeman or other peace officer of the city who finds a child or children confined in an automobile, truck or other vehicle to enter such vehicle to remove any child if the policeman or peace officer has reason to believe that the confinement is hazardous to the child’s health. The policeman or peace officer may lawfully do whatever is reasonably necessary in order to remove the child from the vehicle, including breaking windows or doors.

C. Any such child so removed from any such vehicle shall be taken to a suitable place in the county, and a report thereof made to the juvenile authorities of the county. [Ord. 2010-2 § 10.12.110, 2010.]
