(3) Any of the following grounds exist:
(A) There is a substantial danger to the physical health of the child or the child is suffering severe emotional damage, and there are no reasonable means to protect the child's physical or emotional health without removing the child from the parent's or guardian's physical custody;
(B) The child is a dependent of the juvenile court who has left a placement;
(C) The parent, guardian, or responsible relative is likely to flee the jurisdiction of the court with the child; or
(D) The child is unwilling to return home and the petitioner alleges that a person residing in the home has physically or sexually abused the child.
(b)	Factors to consider
In determining whether to release or detain the child under (a), the court must consider the following:

(Subd (b) amended effective January 1, 2016; previously amended effective July 1, 2002, and January 1, 2007.)
(c)	Findings of the court-reasonable efforts (§ 319; 42 U.S.C., § 600 et seq.)

(A) Reasonable efforts have been made; or
(B) Reasonable efforts have not been made.
(2) The court must not order the child detained unless the court, after inquiry regarding available services, finds that there are no reasonable services that would prevent or eliminate the need to detain the child or that would permit the child to return home.
(3) If the court orders the child detained, the court must:
(A) Determine if there are services that would permit the child to return home pending the next hearing and state the factual bases for the decision to detain the child;
(B) Specify why the initial removal was necessary; and

(Subd (d) adopted effective July 1, 2002.)
(e)	Detention alternatives (§ 319)
The court may order the child detained in the approved home of a relative, an emergency shelter, another suitable licensed home or facility, a place exempt from licensure if specifically designated by the court, or the approved home of a nonrelative extended family member as defined in section 362.7.
(1) In determining the suitability of detention with a relative or a nonrelative extended family member, the court must consider the recommendations of the social worker based on the approval of the home of the relative or nonrelative extended family member, including the results of checks of criminal records and any prior reports of alleged child abuse.
(2) The court must order any parent and guardian present to disclose the names, residences (if known), and any identifying information of any maternal or paternal relatives of the child.
