A person is guilty of unlawful transaction with a minor in the third degree when:
(a) Acting other than as a retail licensee, he knowingly sells, gives, purchases or
procures any alcoholic or malt beverage in any form to or for a minor. The

beverages. This subsection does not apply to a parent or guardian of the
minor;
(b) He knowingly induces, assists, or causes a minor to engage in any other
criminal activity;
(c) He knowingly induces, assists or causes a minor to become a habitual truant;
