(3) Award legal custody of the child to either parent or to | 24 |
any other person who, prior to the dispositional hearing, files a | 25 |
motion requesting legal custody of the child or is identified as a | 26 |
proposed legal custodian in a complaint or motion filed prior to | 27 |
the dispositional hearing by any party to the proceedings. A | 28 |
person identified in a complaint or motion filed by a party to the | 29 |
proceedings as a proposed legal custodian shall be awarded legal | 30 |
custody of the child only if the person identified signs a | 31 |
statement of understanding for legal custody that contains at | 32 |
least the following provisions: | 33 |
(b) That the person understands that legal custody of the | 37 |
child in question is intended to be permanent in nature and that | 38 |
the person will be responsible as the custodian for the child | 39 |
until the child reaches the age of majority. Responsibility as | 40 |
custodian for the child shall continue beyond the age of majority | 41 |
if, at the time the child reaches the age of majority, the child | 42 |
is pursuing a diploma granted by the board of education or other | 43 |
governing authority, successful completion of the curriculum of | 44 |
any high school, successful completion of an individualized | 45 |
education program developed for the student by any high school, or | 46 |
an age and schooling certificate. Responsibility beyond the age of | 47 |
majority shall terminate when the child ceases to continuously | 48 |
pursue such an education, completes such an education, or is | 49 |
excused from such an education under standards adopted by the | 50 |
state board of education, whichever occurs first. | 51 |
(c) That the parents of the child have residual parental | 52 |
rights, privileges, and responsibilities, including, but not | 53 |
limited to, the privilege of reasonable visitation, consent to | 54 |
adoption, the privilege to determine the child's religious | 55 |
affiliation, and the responsibility for support; | 56 |
(4) Commit the child to the permanent custody of a public | 63 |
children services agency or private child placing agency, if the | 64 |
court determines in accordance with division (E) of section | 65 |
2151.414 of the Revised Code that the child cannot be placed with | 66 |
one of the child's parents within a reasonable time or should not | 67 |
be placed with either parent and determines in accordance with | 68 |
division (D)(1) of section 2151.414 of the Revised Code that the | 69 |
permanent commitment is in the best interest of the child. If the | 70 |
court grants permanent custody under this division, the court, | 71 |
upon the request of any party, shall file a written opinion | 72 |
setting forth its findings of fact and conclusions of law in | 73 |
relation to the proceeding. | 74 |
(5) Place the child in a planned permanent living arrangement | 75 |
with a public children services agency or private child placing | 76 |
agency, if a public children services agency or private child | 77 |
placing agency requests the court to place the child in a planned | 78 |
permanent living arrangement and if the court finds, by clear and | 79 |
convincing evidence, that a planned permanent living arrangement | 80 |
is in the best interest of the child and that one of the following | 81 |
exists: | 82 |
(b) The parents of the child have significant physical, | 88 |
mental, or psychological problems and are unable to care for the | 89 |
child because of those problems, adoption is not in the best | 90 |
interest of the child, as determined in accordance with division | 91 |
(D)(1) of section 2151.414 of the Revised Code, and the child | 92 |
retains a significant and positive relationship with a parent or | 93 |
relative. | 94 |
(6) Order the removal from the child's home until further | 100 |
order of the court of the person who committed abuse as described | 101 |
in section 2151.031 of the Revised Code against the child, who | 102 |
caused or allowed the child to suffer neglect as described in | 103 |
section 2151.03 of the Revised Code, or who is the parent, | 104 |
guardian, or custodian of a child who is adjudicated a dependent | 105 |
child and order any person not to have contact with the child or | 106 |
the child's siblings. | 107 |
(B) No order for permanent custody or temporary custody of a | 108 |
child or the placement of a child in a planned permanent living | 109 |
arrangement shall be made pursuant to this section unless the | 110 |
complaint alleging the abuse, neglect, or dependency contains a | 111 |
prayer requesting permanent custody, temporary custody, or the | 112 |
placement of the child in a planned permanent living arrangement | 113 |
as desired, the summons served on the parents of the child | 114 |
contains as is appropriate a full explanation that the granting of | 115 |
an order for permanent custody permanently divests them of their | 116 |
parental rights, a full explanation that an adjudication that the | 117 |
child is an abused, neglected, or dependent child may result in an | 118 |
order of temporary custody that will cause the removal of the | 119 |
child from their legal custody until the court terminates the | 120 |
order of temporary custody or permanently divests the parents of | 121 |
their parental rights, or a full explanation that the granting of | 122 |
an order for a planned permanent living arrangement will result in | 123 |
the removal of the child from their legal custody if any of the | 124 |
conditions listed in divisions (A)(5)(a) to (c) of this section | 125 |
are found to exist, and the summons served on the parents contains | 126 |
a full explanation of their right to be represented by counsel and | 127 |
to have counsel appointed pursuant to Chapter 120. of the Revised | 128 |
Code if they are indigent. | 129 |
(C) If the court issues an order for protective supervision | 135 |
pursuant to division (A)(1) of this section, the court may place | 136 |
any reasonable restrictions upon the child, the child's parents, | 137 |
guardian, or custodian, or any other person, including, but not | 138 |
limited to, any of the following: | 139 |
(E)(1) The court shall retain jurisdiction over any child for | 153 |
whom the court issues an order of disposition pursuant to division | 154 |
(A) of this section or pursuant to section 2151.414 or 2151.415 of | 155 |
the Revised Code until the child attains the age of eighteen years | 156 |
if the child is not mentally retarded, developmentally disabled, | 157 |
or physically impaired, the child attains the age of twenty-one | 158 |
years if the child is mentally retarded, developmentally disabled, | 159 |
or physically impaired, or the child is adopted and a final decree | 160 |
of adoption is issued, except that the court may retain | 161 |
jurisdiction over the child and continue any order of disposition | 162 |
under division (A) of this section or under section 2151.414 or | 163 |
2151.415 of the Revised Code for a specified period of time to | 164 |
enable the child to graduate from high school or vocational | 165 |
school. The court shall make an entry continuing its jurisdiction | 166 |
under this division in the journal. | 167 |
(2) Any public children services agency, any private child | 168 |
placing agency, the department of job and family services, or any | 169 |
party, other than any parent whose parental rights with respect to | 170 |
the child have been terminated pursuant to an order issued under | 171 |
division (A)(4) of this section, by filing a motion with the | 172 |
court, may at any time request the court to modify or terminate | 173 |
any order of disposition issued pursuant to division (A) of this | 174 |
section or section 2151.414 or 2151.415 of the Revised Code. The | 175 |
court shall hold a hearing upon the motion as if the hearing were | 176 |
the original dispositional hearing and shall give all parties to | 177 |
the action and the guardian ad litem notice of the hearing | 178 |
pursuant to the Juvenile Rules. If applicable, the court shall | 179 |
comply with section 2151.42 of the Revised Code. | 180 |
(F) Any temporary custody order issued pursuant to division | 181 |
(A) of this section shall terminate one year after the earlier of | 182 |
the date on which the complaint in the case was filed or the child | 183 |
was first placed into shelter care, except that, upon the filing | 184 |
of a motion pursuant to section 2151.415 of the Revised Code, the | 185 |
temporary custody order shall continue and not terminate until the | 186 |
court issues a dispositional order under that section. In | 187 |
resolving the motion, the court shall not order an existing | 188 |
temporary custody order to continue beyond two years after the | 189 |
date on which the complaint was filed or the child was first | 190 |
placed into shelter care, whichever date is earlier, regardless of | 191 |
whether any extensions have been previously ordered pursuant to | 192 |
division (D) of section 2151.415 of the Revised Code. | 193 |
(G)(1) No later than one year after the earlier of the date | 194 |
the complaint in the case was filed or the child was first placed | 195 |
in shelter care, a party may ask the court to extend an order for | 196 |
protective supervision for six months or to terminate the order. A | 197 |
party requesting extension or termination of the order shall file | 198 |
a written request for the extension or termination with the court | 199 |
and give notice of the proposed extension or termination in | 200 |
writing before the end of the day after the day of filing it to | 201 |
all parties and the child's guardian ad litem. If a public | 202 |
children services agency or private child placing agency requests | 203 |
termination of the order, the agency shall file a written status | 204 |
report setting out the facts supporting termination of the order | 205 |
at the time it files the request with the court. If no party | 206 |
requests extension or termination of the order, the court shall | 207 |
notify the parties that the court will extend the order for six | 208 |
months or terminate it and that it may do so without a hearing | 209 |
unless one of the parties requests a hearing. All parties and the | 210 |
guardian ad litem shall have seven days from the date a notice is | 211 |
sent pursuant to this division to object to and request a hearing | 212 |
on the proposed extension or termination. | 213 |
(a) If it receives a timely request for a hearing, the court | 214 |
shall schedule a hearing to be held no later than thirty days | 215 |
after the request is received by the court. The court shall give | 216 |
notice of the date, time, and location of the hearing to all | 217 |
parties and the guardian ad litem. At the hearing, the court shall | 218 |
determine whether extension or termination of the order is in the | 219 |
child's best interest. If termination is in the child's best | 220 |
interest, the court shall terminate the order. If extension is in | 221 |
the child's best interest, the court shall extend the order for | 222 |
six months. | 223 |
(b) If it does not receive a timely request for a hearing, | 224 |
the court may extend the order for six months or terminate it | 225 |
without a hearing and shall journalize the order of extension or | 226 |
termination not later than fourteen days after receiving the | 227 |
request for extension or termination or after the date the court | 228 |
notifies the parties that it will extend or terminate the order. | 229 |
If the court does not extend or terminate the order, it shall | 230 |
schedule a hearing to be held no later than thirty days after the | 231 |
expiration of the applicable fourteen-day time period and give | 232 |
notice of the date, time, and location of the hearing to all | 233 |
parties and the child's guardian ad litem. At the hearing, the | 234 |
court shall determine whether extension or termination of the | 235 |
order is in the child's best interest. If termination is in the | 236 |
child's best interest, the court shall terminate the order. If | 237 |
extension is in the child's best interest, the court shall issue | 238 |
an order extending the order for protective supervision six | 239 |
months. | 240 |
(2) If the court grants an extension of the order for | 241 |
protective supervision pursuant to division (G)(1) of this | 242 |
section, a party may, prior to termination of the extension, file | 243 |
with the court a request for an additional extension of six months | 244 |
or for termination of the order. The court and the parties shall | 245 |
comply with division (G)(1) of this section with respect to | 246 |
extending or terminating the order. | 247 |
(2) Place the child on community control under any sanctions, | 287 |
services, and conditions that the court prescribes, as described | 288 |
in division (A)(4) of section 2152.19 of the Revised Code, | 289 |
provided that, if the court imposes a period of community service | 290 |
upon the child, the period of community service shall not exceed | 291 |
one hundred seventy-five hours; | 292 |
(3) Suspend the driver's license, probationary driver's | 293 |
license, or temporary instruction permit issued to the child for a | 294 |
period of time prescribed by the court and suspend the | 295 |
registration of all motor vehicles registered in the name of the | 296 |
child for a period of time prescribed by the court. A child whose | 297 |
license or permit is so suspended is ineligible for issuance of a | 298 |
license or permit during the period of suspension. At the end of | 299 |
the period of suspension, the child shall not be reissued a | 300 |
license or permit until the child has paid any applicable | 301 |
reinstatement fee and complied with all requirements governing | 302 |
license reinstatement. | 303 |
(6) If, after making a disposition under division (A)(1), | 309 |
(2), or (3) of this section, the court finds upon further hearing | 310 |
that the child is not amenable to treatment or rehabilitation | 311 |
under that disposition, make a disposition otherwise authorized | 312 |
under divisions (A)(1), (4), (5), and (8) of section 2152.19 of | 313 |
the Revised Code that is consistent with sections 2151.312 and | 314 |
2151.56 to 2151.61 of the Revised Code. | 315 |
(B) If a child is adjudicated an unruly child for committing | 316 |
any act that, if committed by an adult, would be a drug abuse | 317 |
offense, as defined in section 2925.01 of the Revised Code, or a | 318 |
violation of division (B) of section 2917.11 of the Revised Code, | 319 |
in addition to imposing, in its discretion, any other order of | 320 |
disposition authorized by this section, subject to section 3109.90 | 321 |
of the Revised Code, the court shall do both of the following: | 322 |
(2) Suspend the temporary instruction permit, probationary | 325 |
driver's license, or driver's license issued to the child for a | 326 |
period of time prescribed by the court. The court, in its | 327 |
discretion, may terminate the suspension if the child attends and | 328 |
satisfactorily completes a drug abuse or alcohol abuse education, | 329 |
intervention, or treatment program specified by the court. During | 330 |
the time the child is attending a program as described in this | 331 |
division, the court shall retain the child's temporary instruction | 332 |
permit, probationary driver's license, or driver's license, and | 333 |
the court shall return the permit or license if it terminates the | 334 |
suspension. | 335 |
(e) Make any other order that the court finds proper to | 353 |
address the child's habitual truancy, including an order requiring | 354 |
the child to not be absent without legitimate excuse from the | 355 |
public school the child is supposed to attend for five or more | 356 |
consecutive days, seven or more school days in one school month, | 357 |
or twelve or more school days in a school year and including an | 358 |
order requiring the child to participate in a truancy prevention | 359 |
mediation program. | 360 |
(2) Commit the child to the temporary custody of any school, | 390 |
camp, institution, or other facility operated for the care of | 391 |
delinquent children by the county, by a district organized under | 392 |
section
2152.412151.65 or 2151.652152.41 of the Revised Code, or | 393 |
by a private agency or organization, within or without the state, | 394 |
that is authorized and qualified to provide the care, treatment, | 395 |
or placement required, including, but not limited to, a school, | 396 |
camp, or facility operated under section 2151.65 of the Revised | 397 |
Code;
| 398 |
(4) Place the child on community control under any sanctions, | 402 |
services, and conditions that the court prescribes. As a condition | 403 |
of community control in every case and in addition to any other | 404 |
condition that it imposes upon the child, the court shall require | 405 |
the child to abide by the law during the period of community | 406 |
control. As referred to in this division, community control | 407 |
includes, but is not limited to, the following sanctions and | 408 |
conditions:
| 409 |
A period of house arrest with electronic monitoring or | 449 |
continuous alcohol monitoring or both electronic monitoring and | 450 |
continuous alcohol monitoring, imposed under this division shall | 451 |
not extend beyond the child's twenty-first birthday. If a court | 452 |
imposes a period of house arrest with electronic monitoring or | 453 |
continuous alcohol monitoring or both electronic monitoring and | 454 |
continuous alcohol monitoring, upon a child under this division, | 455 |
it shall require the child: to remain in the child's home or other | 456 |
specified premises for the entire period of house arrest with | 457 |
electronic monitoring or continuous alcohol monitoring or both | 458 |
except when the court permits the child to leave those premises to | 459 |
go to school or to other specified premises. Regarding electronic | 460 |
monitoring, the court also shall require the child to be monitored | 461 |
by a central system that can determine the child's location at | 462 |
designated times; to report periodically to a person designated by | 463 |
the court; and to enter into a written contract with the court | 464 |
agreeing to comply with all requirements imposed by the court, | 465 |
agreeing to pay any fee imposed by the court for the costs of the | 466 |
house arrest with electronic monitoring, and agreeing to waive the | 467 |
right to receive credit for any time served on house arrest with | 468 |
electronic monitoring toward the period of any other dispositional | 469 |
order imposed upon the child if the child violates any of the | 470 |
requirements of the dispositional order of house arrest with | 471 |
electronic monitoring. The court also may impose other reasonable | 472 |
requirements upon the child.
| 473 |
Unless ordered by the court, a child shall not receive credit | 474 |
for any time served on house arrest with electronic monitoring or | 475 |
continuous alcohol monitoring or both toward any other | 476 |
dispositional order imposed upon the child for the act for which | 477 |
was imposed the dispositional order of house arrest with | 478 |
electronic monitoring or continuous alcohol monitoring. As used in | 479 |
this division and division (A)(4)(l) of this section, "continuous | 480 |
alcohol monitoring" has the same meaning as in section 2929.01 of | 481 |
the Revised Code.
| 482 |
(l) A suspension of the driver's license, probationary | 483 |
driver's license, or temporary instruction permit issued to the | 484 |
child for a period of time prescribed by the court, or a | 485 |
suspension of the registration of all motor vehicles registered in | 486 |
the name of the child for a period of time prescribed by the | 487 |
court. A child whose license or permit is so suspended is | 488 |
ineligible for issuance of a license or permit during the period | 489 |
of suspension. At the end of the period of suspension, the child | 490 |
shall not be reissued a license or permit until the child has paid | 491 |
any applicable reinstatement fee and complied with all | 492 |
requirements governing license reinstatement.
| 493 |
(b) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child for being a | 511 |
chronic truant or a habitual truant who previously has been | 512 |
adjudicated an unruly child for being a habitual truant and the | 513 |
court determines that the parent, guardian, or other person having | 514 |
care of the child has failed to cause the child's attendance at | 515 |
school in violation of section 3321.38 of the Revised Code, do | 516 |
either or both of the following:
| 517 |
(B) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child, in addition | 539 |
to any order of disposition made under division (A) of this | 540 |
section, the court, in the following situations and for the | 541 |
specified periods of time, shall suspend the child's temporary | 542 |
instruction permit, restricted license, probationary driver's | 543 |
license, or nonresident operating privilege, or suspend the | 544 |
child's ability to obtain such a permit:
| 545 |
(2) If the child is adjudicated a delinquent child for | 553 |
committing an act that if committed by an adult would be a drug | 554 |
abuse offense or for violating division (B) of section 2917.11 of | 555 |
the Revised Code, suspend the child's license, permit, or | 556 |
privilege for a period of time prescribed by the court. The court, | 557 |
in its discretion, may terminate the suspension if the child | 558 |
attends and satisfactorily completes a drug abuse or alcohol abuse | 559 |
education, intervention, or treatment program specified by the | 560 |
court. During the time the child is attending a program described | 561 |
in this division, the court shall retain the child's temporary | 562 |
instruction permit, probationary driver's license, or driver's | 563 |
license, and the court shall return the permit or license if it | 564 |
terminates the suspension as described in this division.
| 565 |
(D)(1) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child for | 571 |
committing an act that would be a felony if committed by an adult | 572 |
and if the child caused, attempted to cause, threatened to cause, | 573 |
or created a risk of physical harm to the victim of the act, the | 574 |
court, prior to issuing an order of disposition under this | 575 |
section, shall order the preparation of a victim impact statement | 576 |
by the probation department of the county in which the victim of | 577 |
the act resides, by the court's own probation department, or by a | 578 |
victim assistance program that is operated by the state, a county, | 579 |
a municipal corporation, or another governmental entity. The court | 580 |
shall consider the victim impact statement in determining the | 581 |
order of disposition to issue for the child.
| 582 |
(2) Each victim impact statement shall identify the victim of | 583 |
the act for which the child was adjudicated a delinquent child, | 584 |
itemize any economic loss suffered by the victim as a result of | 585 |
the act, identify any physical injury suffered by the victim as a | 586 |
result of the act and the seriousness and permanence of the | 587 |
injury, identify any change in the victim's personal welfare or | 588 |
familial relationships as a result of the act and any | 589 |
psychological impact experienced by the victim or the victim's | 590 |
family as a result of the act, and contain any other information | 591 |
related to the impact of the act upon the victim that the court | 592 |
requires.
| 593 |
(3) A victim impact statement shall be kept confidential and | 594 |
is not a public record. However, the court may furnish copies of | 595 |
the statement to the department of youth services if the | 596 |
delinquent child is committed to the department or to both the | 597 |
adjudicated delinquent child or the adjudicated delinquent child's | 598 |
counsel and the prosecuting attorney. The copy of a victim impact | 599 |
statement furnished by the court to the department pursuant to | 600 |
this section shall be kept confidential and is not a public | 601 |
record. If an officer is preparing pursuant to section 2947.06 or | 602 |
2951.03 of the Revised Code or Criminal Rule 32.2 a presentence | 603 |
investigation report pertaining to a person, the court shall make | 604 |
available to the officer, for use in preparing the report, a copy | 605 |
of any victim impact statement regarding that person. The copies | 606 |
of a victim impact statement that are made available to the | 607 |
adjudicated delinquent child or the adjudicated delinquent child's | 608 |
counsel and the prosecuting attorney pursuant to this division | 609 |
shall be returned to the court by the person to whom they were | 610 |
made available immediately following the imposition of an order of | 611 |
disposition for the child under this chapter.
| 612 |
(E) If a child is adjudicated a delinquent child for being a | 620 |
chronic truant or a habitual truant who previously has been | 621 |
adjudicated an unruly child for being a habitual truant and the | 622 |
court determines that the parent, guardian, or other person having | 623 |
care of the child has failed to cause the child's attendance at | 624 |
school in violation of section 3321.38 of the Revised Code, in | 625 |
addition to any order of disposition it makes under this section, | 626 |
the court shall warn the parent, guardian, or other person having | 627 |
care of the child that any subsequent adjudication of the child as | 628 |
an unruly or delinquent child for being a habitual or chronic | 629 |
truant may result in a criminal charge against the parent, | 630 |
guardian, or other person having care of the child for a violation | 631 |
of division (C) of section 2919.21 or section 2919.24 of the | 632 |
Revised Code.
| 633 |
(F)(1) During the period of a delinquent child's community | 634 |
control granted under this section, authorized probation officers | 635 |
who are engaged within the scope of their supervisory duties or | 636 |
responsibilities may search, with or without a warrant, the person | 637 |
of the delinquent child, the place of residence of the delinquent | 638 |
child, and a motor vehicle, another item of tangible or intangible | 639 |
personal property, or other real property in which the delinquent | 640 |
child has a right, title, or interest or for which the delinquent | 641 |
child has the express or implied permission of a person with a | 642 |
right, title, or interest to use, occupy, or possess if the | 643 |
probation officers have reasonable grounds to believe that the | 644 |
delinquent child is not abiding by the law or otherwise is not | 645 |
complying with the conditions of the delinquent child's community | 646 |
control. The court that places a delinquent child on community | 647 |
control under this section shall provide the delinquent child with | 648 |
a written notice that informs the delinquent child that authorized | 649 |
probation officers who are engaged within the scope of their | 650 |
supervisory duties or responsibilities may conduct those types of | 651 |
searches during the period of community control if they have | 652 |
reasonable grounds to believe that the delinquent child is not | 653 |
abiding by the law or otherwise is not complying with the | 654 |
