The court may impose contempt sanctions against said parent, guardian, or legal custodian for failure, without good cause, to attend any proceeding concerning the juvenile; except that, if the juvenile's legal custodian is a county department of human or social services or the state department of human services, the legal custodian need not attend any proceeding at which the juvenile's guardian ad litem is present.

(b) For any juvenile adjudicated pursuant to this article, the court may specify its expectations for the juvenile's parent, guardian, or legal custodian, so long as the parent, guardian, or legal custodian is a party to the delinquency proceedings.

(2) (a) The general assembly hereby determines that families play a significant role in the cause and cure of delinquent behavior of children. It is therefore the intent of the general assembly that parents cooperate and participate significantly in the assessment and treatment planning for their children.

(I) Maximum parent involvement in the sentencing orders;

(II) Participation by the parent in parental responsibility training;

(III) Cooperation by the parent in treatment plans for the juvenile;
