The mother of the child shall be admitted as a witness in support of the complaint, and may be compelled to testify. No complaint shall be withdrawn, dismissed, or settled by agreement of the mother and putative father. 766. Parent guilty of misdemeanor, when - Punishment - Custody of child. SEC. 2.

Whenever the court shall make such order, any refusal or neglect of said putative father to comply with the order of the court shall be deemed a contempt of court, and punished as other cases are for contempt.
