Any magistrate presiding over a court having the jurisdiction hereinafter conferred upon it may upon an oral or written complaint, or upon his own instance, when he has reason to believe that any parent or guardian or other person should be prosecuted under the provisions of this act, issue a summons directed to such parent, guardian or other person substantially as follows: IN THE NAME OF THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK: To .... You are hereby summoned to appear before court at ... ... to the end that an investigation may be made into the charge that you have contributed to or are responsible for ... (state charge) of .... (name of child) and upon your failure to appear at the time and place herein mentioned you are liable to a fine not exceeding twenty-five dollars. Dated at this day of... 1910. (Signed by magistrate.) Such summons may be served by a police officer or by any other person designated by the magistrate, and if the person summoned does not appear such failure to appear shall constitute contempt, and may be punishable by a fine not exceeding twenty-five dollars. The magistrate may issue subpoenas subject to the same penalties for disobedience thereof, or refusal to testify thereunder, as provided for in the code of civil procedure. Upon the return of the summons the magistrate shall inquire into the subject-matter of the charge. Whenever during the investigation the magistrate is satisfied from sworn testimony that there is sufficient cause for a warrant to issue, instead of issuing the warrant, if he deems it for the best interest of the person summoned and the state, upon the consent of the person summoned given in open court, the magistrate may adjourn the investigation from time to time for a period aggregating not more than one year and place the person summoned under the oversight of a probation officer during the adjournment, or may cause the person summoned to give a bond to the people of the state of New York, for not to exceed one year, with or without sureties, in such sum not to exceed two hundred and fifty dollars as he may direct. The probation officer cannot require the person so placed under his oversight to do more than to satisfy inquiries regarding the conduct or condition of the child, or regarding the conduct or condition of such person in so far as it relates to the conduct or condition of the child. The condition of such bond shall be that if the obligor shall exercise reasonable diligence during the time fixed in the bond, which cannot exceed the period of adjournment, to prevent a continuance or repetition of the condition, conduct, act, acts, offense or offenses of such child as was the special cause of the investigation and if charged with the custody of the child also to exercise reasonable diligence in the discipline and control of such child, and appear in court from time to time as ordered, then the bond shall be void, otherwise in full force and effect. On the adjourned day the person summoned must appear in court and if the magistrate is satisfied that the person summoned has exercised reasonable diligence to prevent such continuance or repetition of the condition, conduct, act, acts, offense or offenses of such child, and if charged with the custody of the child has also exercised reasonable diligence in the discipline and control of such child during the period of adjournment he must dismiss the proceeding and cancel the bond, if any. If he is not so satisfied he must either issue the warrant, or upon the consent of the person summoned given in open court he must continue the adjournment, probationary oversight and bond, if any, but all of such adjournments cannot exceed one year from the date of the first adjournment. Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of a magistrate to issue the warrant in the first instance upon sworn information, or at the close of the investigation, and the magistrate who presides at the investigation, or his successor, may at any time during the adjournment, upon notice to the person summoned to appear and show cause, revoke and cancel the adjournment and issue the warrant. 3. Whenever a person is convicted of the misdemeanor hereinbefore defined and sentence is suspended the court may place the defendant upon probation for a period of not more than one year; provided that the court may cause the defendant to give a bond to the people of the state of New York, with or without sureties, in a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars. The condition of such bond shall be that if the obligor shall exercise reasonable diligence during the time fixed in the bond, which cannot exceed one year, to prevent a continuance or repetition of the condition, conduct, act, acts, offense or offenses of such child which was the cause of defendant's prosecution, and if charged with the custody of the child also to exercise reasonable diligence in the discipline and control of such child and appear in court from time to time as ordered, then such bond shall be null and void, otherwise in full force and effect. The magistrate who presided at the trial, or his successor, if he is satisfied that the defendant has violated the terms and conditions of probation and bond, if any, may at any time revoke and cancel the suspension of sentence and probation and impose sentence. 4. The prosecution of all bonds given during an adjournment of an investigation or after conviction herein shall be upon the order of the magistrate who presided at the investigation or trial, or his successor, and all money collected on such bonds shall in the discretion of such magistrate be deposited in the office of the county treasurer to be expended under the orders of the magistrate or his successor for the benefit of the child or children in whose interest such bond is given. 5. Original and exclusive jurisdiction of all proceedings, investigations and trials instituted under this act is limited to courts of special sessions, police and city courts presided over by magistrates who hold or are assigned to children's courts, except in the city of New York, where the jurisdiction is hereby conferred upon and shall be exercised by the city magistrates.
