Procedure when remanded child absconds (PINS)
(a) When a child absconds from a facility to which he or she was remanded pursuant to section 739 of the Family Court Act, written notice of that fact shall be given within 48 hours by an authorized representative of the facility to the clerk of the court from which the remand was made. The notice shall state the name of the child, the docket number of the pending proceeding in which the child was remanded, the date on which the child absconded, and the efforts made to secure the return of the child. Every order of remand pursuant to section 739 shall include a direction embodying the requirements of this subdivision.
(b) Upon receipt of the written notice of absconding, the clerk shall cause the proceeding to be placed on the court calendar no later than the next court day for such action as the court may deem appropriate and shall give notice of such court date to the petitioner, presentment agency and appointed or privately retained counsel for the child.
Same as § 205.26 for FCA § 739 remands: facility gives written notice within 48 hours to the clerk; every § 739 remand order embodies this; clerk calendars by the next court day and notifies petitioner, presentment agency, and counsel. ★
