§ 1152. Disposition of adjudicated delinquent child or a child in need of
supervision
A. If a child is found to be delinquent, the Court may impose a fine not
to exceed the fine which would be imposed if the child were an adult and may
enter its judgment making any of the following dispositions for supervision,
care and rehabilitation of the child:
1. Any disposition that is authorized for the disposition of a
dependent;
2. Transfer legal custody to an agency responsible for the care and
rehabilitation of delinquent children;
3. Place the child on probation under such conditions and
limitations as the Court may prescribe.
B. If a child is found to be in need of supervision, the Court may enter
its judgment making any of the following dispositions for the supervision, care
and rehabilitation of the child:
1. Any disposition that is authorized for the disposition of a
dependent child;
2. Transfer legal custody to an agency responsible for the care of
children in need of supervision, but not to one which is designed for
custody of delinquent children; or
3. Place the child on probation under those conditions and
limitations the Court may prescribe.
C. Unless a child found to be dependent or in need of supervision is also
found to be delinquent, the child shall not be confined in an institution
established for the care and rehabilitation of delinquent children. No child
found to be delinquent or in need of supervision shall be committed or
transferred to a facility used for execution of sentences of persons convicted
of crimes.
D. Whenever the Court vests legal custody in an agency, institution or
department it shall transmit with the dispositional order copies of all clinical reports, predisposition studies and reports and other information in
its possession pertinent to care and treatment of the child.
