Unless a hearing is held within the time frame established by KRS 610.265, and the
necessity for detention properly established, the child shall be released to the
custody of his parents, person exercising custodial control or supervision or other
responsible adult pending further disposition of the case.
The child shall have a right to counsel at his detention hearing determining his right
to freedom pending the disposition of his case, and his parents, person exercising
custodial control or supervision or other responsible adult shall have a right to
attend the hearing if such attendance will not unnecessarily delay the hearing. Any
person aggrieved by a proceeding under this subsection may proceed by habeas
corpus to the Circuit Court.
Whether the child is released before or after a hearing, or is detained as a result of
such hearing, the child and his parents, person exercising custodial control or
supervision or other responsible adult shall be given written notice of the time and
place of the adjudicatory hearing concerning the child and an account of the specific
charges against the child, including the specific statute alleged to have been
violated. Such notice shall be given at least seventy-two (72) hours prior to the
initial hearing on the case.
