South Dakota Statutes
§ 27A-15-26 — Discharge upon determination that criteria no longer being met.
If at any time the minor's attending psychiatrist or, if the attending psychiatrist is unavailable, the attending qualified mental health professional determines that the criteria in § 27A-15-5 are no longer met, the minor shall be immediately discharged to the custody of his parent. Parental refusal to take physical custody of the minor is not sufficient reason for continued inpatient treatment. In the event of such refusal, the administrator or facility director shall explain alternative treatment options available to the parents and the child and advise the parents that refusal to take physical custody of the minor upon discharge will result in immediate notice to the state's attorney for further action.
