Procedure when a child who has been placed absconds (child protective proceeding)
(a) When a child placed pursuant to section 1055 of the Family Court Act absconds, written notice of that fact shall be sent within 48 hours to the clerk of the court from which the placement was made. The notice shall be signed by the custodial person or by an authorized representative of the place of placement and shall state the name of the child, the docket number of the proceeding in which the child was placed, the date on which the child absconded, and the efforts made to secure the return of the child. Every order of placement pursuant to section 1055 shall include a direction embodying the requirement of this subdivision.
(b) Upon receipt of the written notice of absconding, the clerk of the court shall cause the proceeding to be placed on the calendar no later than the next court day for such action as the court may deem appropriate.
When a child placed under FCA § 1055 absconds, the custodial person/facility sends signed written notice within 48 hours to the clerk (name, docket number, date, efforts); every § 1055 placement order embodies it; clerk calendars no later than the next court day. ★
