Juvenile Dependency Flow Chart: Severe Cases, SEE WIC 361.5 (B)

The juvenile dependency flow chart outlines the process that occurs when a child is referred to social services due to protective custody or removal by law enforcement. It shows that a petition is filed with the court and the child may enter detention or remain at home until a jurisdictional hearing is held. Following this, a dispositional hearing will either establish the child as a dependent of the court or dismiss the case. The child may then receive family reunification services or bypass them in severe cases, and subsequent review hearings are held to determine the permanency plan for the child, such as adoption or guardianship.
