  At the commencement of the adjudication hearing, the court shall address the alleged delinquent child, in language understandable to the child, and determine whether such child is capable of understanding statements about his or her rights under this article.   If a child is capable, the court shall inquire how he or she responds to the allegations of the delinquency petition. The child may:   Deny the allegations of such petition, in which case the court shall proceed to hear evidence on such petition; or   Admit the allegations of such petition, in which case the court shall further inquire to determine whether there is a factual basis for adjudication. If so, the court may then adjudge such child to have committed a delinquent act.     If a child stands mute, refuses to answer, or answers evasively, the court shall enter a denial of the allegations.     (Code 1981, §15-11-580, enacted by Ga. L. 2013, p. 294, § 1-1/HB 242.)

  After an adjudication that a child has committed a delinquent act, the court may direct that a written predisposition investigation report be prepared by the probation officer or other person designated by the court.   A predisposition investigation report shall contain such information about the characteristics, family, environment, and the circumstances affecting the child who is the subject of the report as the court determines may be helpful in its determination of the need for treatment or rehabilitation and a proper disposition of the case, including but not limited to:   A summary of the facts of the conduct of such child that led to the adjudication;   The sophistication and maturity of such child;   A summary of such child's home environment, family relationships, and background;   A summary of such child's prior contacts with the juvenile court and law enforcement agencies, including the disposition following each contact and the reasons therefor;   A summary of such child's educational status, including, but not limited to, his or her strengths, abilities, and special educational needs. The report shall identify appropriate educational and vocational goals for such child. Examples of appropriate goals include:   Attainment of a high school diploma or its equivalent;   Successful completion of literacy courses;   Successful completion of vocational courses;   Successful attendance and completion of such child's current grade if enrolled in school; or   Enrollment in an apprenticeship or a similar program;     A summary of the results and recommendations of any of such child's significant physical and mental examinations;   The seriousness of the offense to the community;   The nature of the offense; and   Whether the offense was against persons or against property.     If the court has ordered a child's physical or mental examination to be conducted, the report shall include a copy of the results of the examination.   If the court has ordered a risk assessment for a child, that assessment shall be included in the predisposition investigation report.   All information shall be presented in a concise and factual manner. The report shall indicate the sources of information in the report.

  An order granting probation to a child adjudicated for a delinquent act may be revoked on the ground that the conditions of probation have been violated.   Any violation of a condition of probation may be reported to the prosecuting attorney who may file a motion in the court for revocation of probation. A motion for revocation of probation shall contain specific factual allegations constituting each violation of a condition of probation.   The motion for revocation of probation shall be served upon the child serving the probated sentence, his or her attorney, and his or her parent, guardian, or legal custodian in accordance with the provisions of Code Section 15-11-531.   If a child serving a probated sentence is taken into custody because of an alleged violation of probation, the provisions governing the detention of a child shall apply.   A revocation hearing shall be scheduled to be held no later than 30 days after the filing of such motion or, if a child has been detained as a result of the filing of such motion for revocation, not later than ten days after the filing of the motion.   If the court finds, beyond a reasonable doubt, that a child violated the terms and conditions of probation, the court may:   Extend probation;   Impose additional conditions of probation; or   Make any disposition that could have been made at the time probation was imposed.     In the case of a class A designated felony act or class B designated felony act, if the court finds that a child violated the terms and conditions of probation, the court shall reconsider and make specific findings of fact as to each of the factors in subsection (b) of Code Section 15-11-602 to determine whether placement in restrictive custody.   In the case of a class A designated felony act or class B designated felony act, if the court finds, beyond a reasonable doubt, that a child violated the terms and conditions of probation and revokes the order granting probation, the child shall be given credit for time served on probation and time served in preadjudication custody.

  When a child is alleged to have committed a delinquent act and be a dependent child, the date such child is considered to have entered foster care shall be the date of the first judicial finding that such child has been subjected to child abuse or neglect or the date that is 60 days after the date on which such child is removed from his or her home, whichever is earlier.   When a child is alleged to have committed a delinquent act and is placed directly in a nonsecure residential facility, the date such child is considered to have entered foster care shall be 60 days after the date on which such child is removed from his or her home.   If a child alleged or adjudicated to have committed a delinquent act is detained in a facility operated primarily for the detention of delinquent children but is later placed in foster care within 60 days of such child's removal from the home, then the date of entry into foster care shall be 60 days after the date of removal.   When a child alleged or adjudicated to have committed a delinquent act is detained in a facility operated primarily for the detention of delinquent children but is later placed in a nonsecure residential facility within 60 days of such child's removal from the home, the date such child is considered to have entered foster care shall be 60 days from the date on which such child is removed from his or her home.   If a child is detained in a facility operated primarily for the detention of delinquent children pending placement in foster care and remains detained for more than 60 days, then the date of entry into foster care shall be the date such child is placed in foster care.   When a child alleged or adjudicated to have committed a delinquent act is detained in a facility operated primarily for the detention of delinquent children and remains detained for more than 60 days and such child is subsequently placed in a nonsecure residential facility, the date such child is considered to have entered foster care shall be the date such child was placed in a nonsecure residential facility.

  The periodic review hearing requirements under Code Sections 15-11-216, 15-11-217, and 15-11-218 shall apply to proceedings involving a child alleged or adjudicated to have committed a delinquent act and placed in foster care.   When a child is committed to DJJ and for whom a determination has been made that the child's continuation in his or her home is contrary to the child's welfare and he or she is placed in a nonsecure residential facility, such child shall receive a periodic review before an administrative review panel within DJJ within six months following the date the child entered the nonsecure residential facility and every six months thereafter while the child remains in such facility. The administrative review panel within DJJ shall transmit its report, including its findings and recommendations, to the court within five days after conducting its review.

  The permanency plan requirements under Code Sections 15-11-230, 15-11-231, and 15-11-232 shall apply to proceedings involving a child alleged or adjudicated to have committed a delinquent act and placed in foster care.   In addition to the compelling reasons set forth in Code Section 15-11-233, a compelling reason for determining that filing a termination of parental rights petition is not in the best interests of a child alleged or adjudicated to have committed a delinquent act may include, but not be limited to:   A child's developmental needs require continued out-of-home placement for an additional number of months, and his or her parent, guardian, or legal custodian has cooperated with referrals, visitation, and family conferences, as well as therapy;   A child is uncooperative with services or referrals; and   The length of the delinquency disposition affects the permanency plan.

  As used in this Code section, the term "permanency plan" means a specific written plan prepared by DJJ designed to ensure that a child is reunified with his or her family or ensure that such child quickly attains a substitute long-term home when return to such child's family is not possible or is not in such child's best interests.     The court shall hold a hearing to review the permanency plan for each child committed to DJJ when a determination has been made that the child's continuation in his or her home is contrary to the child's welfare, and the child is placed in a nonsecure residential facility.   Such hearing shall be held no later than 12 months from the date a child is considered to have entered foster care and every 12 months thereafter to make determinations including whether the permanency plan for such child is appropriate and whether reasonable efforts to finalize the permanency plan have been made by DJJ.   A child's parent, guardian, legal custodian, attorney, any relatives providing care for such child, and other interested parties shall be given written notice of such hearing at least five days in advance of such hearing and shall be advised that the permanency plan will be submitted to the court for consideration as the order of the court.   At least five days prior to such hearing, DJJ shall submit for the court's consideration a report recommending a permanency plan for a child committed to a nonsecure residential facility. Such report shall include documentation of the steps taken by DJJ to finalize the permanent placement for such child.   Subsequent to such hearing, the court shall make written findings of fact that shall include whether DJJ has made reasonable efforts to finalize the permanency plan in effect at the time of the hearing.
