(a) At the emergency custody /detention hearing, the Court must make the following findings:

(1) Whether return of custody to the parent/guardian/caretaker is contrary to the child’s welfare because the child has determined to be a CINA as defined in this title;

(2) Responsibility for placement and care of the child is vested with YSS; and

(3) Whether active efforts have been made to prevent the removal of the child or that active efforts to prevent removal and reunify were not required due to aggravated circumstances; and return the child after the removal, but that said efforts have not been successful.

(b) YSS may develop and implement an alternative permanency plan for the child while simultaneously making active efforts to unite or re-unite the child with his parent/guardian/caretaker. [Ord. 46A § 1701(k), adopted, 3/24/2016.]
