Text
(a)In addition to providing the court with a
recommendation for the care, treatment, or rehabilitation of the child,
the person preparing the report shall consider the necessity, nature, and
extent of the participation by a parent, guardian, or custodian in a
program of care, treatment, or rehabilitation for the child.
(b)If a probation officer believes that an out-of-home placement
would be appropriate for a delinquent child, the probation officer shall
consider whether the child should be placed with a suitable and willing
relative, before considering other out-of-home placements for the child.
