(705 ILCS 405/3-3)
(from Ch. 37, par. 803-3)
Sec. 3-3. Minor requiring authoritative intervention. Those requiring
authoritative intervention include any minor under 18 years of age (1) who
is (a) absent from home without consent of parent, guardian
or custodian, or (b) beyond the control of the minor's parent, guardian or
custodian, in circumstances which constitute a substantial or immediate danger
to the minor's physical safety; and (2) who, after being taken into
limited custody for the period provided for in this Section and
offered interim crisis intervention services, where available, refuses to
return home after the minor and the minor's parent, guardian or custodian
cannot agree to an arrangement for an alternative voluntary residential
placement or to the continuation of such placement.
Any minor taken into limited custody for the reasons specified in this
Section may not be adjudicated a minor requiring authoritative intervention
until the following number of days have elapsed from the minor having been
taken into limited custody: 21 days for the first instance of being taken
into limited custody and 5 days for the second, third, or fourth instances
of being taken into limited custody. For the fifth or any subsequent instance
of being taken into limited custody for the reasons specified in this Section,
the minor may be adjudicated as requiring authoritative intervention without
any specified period of time expiring after the minor being taken into
limited custody, without the minor's being offered interim crisis intervention
services, and without the minor's being afforded an opportunity to agree
to an arrangement for an alternative voluntary residential placement.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, for the first instance
in which a minor is taken into limited custody where one year has elapsed
from the last instance of the minor's having been taken into limited custody, the
minor may not be adjudicated a minor requiring authoritative intervention
until 21 days have passed since being taken into limited custody.
