When a juvenile or a child is brought before the competent authority under any of the provisions of the Act, and in the opinion of such competent authority, the presence of parent or guardian who has actual custody and control over the juvenile or child, is deemed necessary in the proceeding, he may order them to be present in such proceeding.
