You can be charged with concealing a crime or accessory after the fact. However, you may attempt to argue that you were told this in good trust; unless you are a priest or other similar figure, you aren't likely to get away with it.

How long can merchant detain minor for shoplifting without notifying police or parent?

Legally, exactally 0 minutes and 0 seconds. The moment a shoplifter is detected the police have to be notified and THEY will notify the parents. A shopkeeper has no legal authority to detain anyone for any reason, they can kick a customer out of the store and they can call the police if the customer is commiting a crime but the police and only the police are legally authorized to detain someone. *my roomate tells me that security guards also have the legal right to detain a customer but I can't verify that.
