When a child is taken into temporary custody, the Indian Child Welfare Department shall notify a parent, guardian or custodian without unnecessary delay and inform them that, if the child is placed in detention, all parties have a right to a hearing within ninety-six (96) hours to determine whether the child is to be detained further. Such notification may be made to a person with whom the child is residing if a parent, guardian or custodian cannot be located. If the officer or worker taking the child into custody is unable to make such notification it may be made by any other law enforcement officer, probation counselor, detention center counselor or jailer in whose physical custody the child is placed.
