Heading: Procedures Mandated During Detention

Text: Both parties provided cursory responses to this court's question as to the statutory procedures mandated during the term of a juvenile's detention. S.M.'s three-sentence response stated: S.M. was entitled to a detention hearing upon her detention. A detention hearing was not held. K.S.A. 38-2361(f)(2) requires a detention hearing within 48 hours to determine whether continued detention is warranted. Respondent utilized four sentences. First, respondent advised us that the juvenile code does not require continued review or additional hearings once K.S.A.2008 Supp. 38-2343(e) has been satisfied. Then, noting that the court's inquiry directed the parties' attention to K.S.A.2008 Supp. 38-2361(f)(1) and (2), respondent stated that those provisions only apply when a juvenile is sent to a sanction house as part of the sentence or for violating the terms of the sentence and that neither situation applied in this case.
