the parents, guardians or other persons having legal custody of such
infant with having allowed, permitted or suffered said infant to commit
a violation of the public peace and good order, contrary to this subsection
and this chapter. Such charges shall be proven upon a showing of a
lack of reasonable supervision and control on the part of said parents,
guardians or other persons having legal custody of said infant.
