128.130  Notice to produce; warrant of arrest; contempts.  At any time after the filing of the petition, notice may issue requiring any person having the custody or control of such minor person, or the person with whom such person is, to appear with such person at a time and place stated in the notice. In case such notice cannot be served, or the party served fails, without reasonable cause, to obey it, a warrant of arrest shall issue on the order of the court against the person so cited, or against the minor himself or herself, or against both; or, if there is no party to be served with such notice, a warrant of arrest may be issued against the minor person. If any party noticed, as provided for in this section, fails without reasonable cause to appear and abide by the order of the court, or to bring such minor person, such failure shall constitute a contempt of court.
