Correct answer: D. Immediately release the child on bail

  • A. None of above
  • B. Immediately acquit the child
  • C. Discharge the child
  • D. Immediately release the child on bail

Explanation

When bail is initially refused, the court must try to trace the child’s guardian; once the guardian is found, the child may be immediately released on bail. Acquittal or discharge cannot ordinarily follow merely because the guardian has been traced.
