The applicant child applied to the Child and Family Services Review Board to review her emergency admission to a secure treatment unit.
The child conceded she had a mental disorder but disputed that the remaining statutory criteria for admission were met.
The Board heard evidence from the child's mother and a staff psychiatrist regarding the child's escalating self-harm, involvement in an online exploitation group, and the failure of less restrictive community treatments.
The Board found that the child's mental disorder caused a substantial threat of serious bodily harm, that the secure treatment program would be effective, and that no less restrictive method was appropriate.
The application for release was denied.
