Text

If a child has been adjudicated to be an abused or neglected child, parental rights have not been terminated and the court places custody of the child in the Department of Social Services, the court shall conduct a review hearing of the foster care status every six months. The hearing shall be conducted in the same manner as a dispositional hearing. If the department at any time finds that further court action is necessary to clarify the child's legal status or, for any other reason, to protect the interests of the child, the Department of Social Services may require the state's attorney to petition the court for a review hearing.
