The child applied for a review of his emergency admission to a secure treatment program at Youthdale Treatment Centres under section 124(9) of the Child and Family Services Act.
The Board reviewed the evidence of the child's escalating behaviours, including threats of self-harm, threats to others, substance abuse, and repeated AWOLs from less restrictive placements.
The Board found that the child had a mental disorder and met all five criteria for admission under section 124(2) of the Act.
The application for release was dismissed.
