following methods:
(1) Pursuant to an order of the court;
(2) By a law enforcement officer pursuant to the law of arrest;
(3) By a law enforcement officer or other person authorized by the court
if the officer or other person has reasonable grounds to believe that the child is in
immediate danger from the child's surroundings and that the child's removal is
necessary for the child's protection; or

if the officer or other person has reasonable grounds to believe that the child has run
away from the child's parents, guardian, or legal custodian.
(b) If a law enforcement officer takes a child into custody, the officer shall
immediately notify, or cause to be notified, the child's parents, guardian, or custodian
of the action. After making every reasonable effort to give notice, the law enforcement
officer shall with all reasonable speed:
(1) Release the child to the child's parents, guardian, or custodian or to
any other person designated by the court, upon their written promise to bring the
child before the court when requested by the court, and such security for the child's
appearance as the court may reasonably require, unless the child's placement in
detention or shelter care is permitted and appears required by § 3-8A-15 of this
subtitle; or
(2) Deliver the child to the court or a place of detention or shelter care
designated by the court.
