A copy of a warning notice must be sent to the parent and which other party?

• A. The Child
• B. The Office Designated by the Juvenile Court
• C. The School Counselor
• D. The District Attorney

Answer: (B)

In juvenile procedures, a warning notice isn’t just sent to the parent; it also goes to the Office Designated by the Juvenile Court. That office is the agency the court assigns to handle juvenile matters, keep case records, and coordinate any next steps or services. Having a copy there ensures the court and the designated juvenile services agency are aware of the warning and can monitor compliance or arrange appropriate interventions.

The other options aren’t the required recipients for this notice. The child is the subject of the warning, but the formal copy is not sent to them as a separate party in this context. A school counselor, while important as a resource, is not the designated recipient required by the procedure. The District Attorney handles prosecutions, not the notice distribution for a warning, so they’re not the mandated recipient either.
