Full text
3. Whenever it appears necessary of useful for the welfare of a child brought before the Social Welfare Court or any other court, a careful examination of such child shall be made, upon demand of the judge, by the Clinique, within the shortest possible delay, with a view to placing the individual under observation, considering the maladjustment factors and suggesting the requisite measures to assist in his readjustment.
A report of the results of such examination and of the conclusions of the examiners shall be delivered to the judge who is to hear the case.
If the child is subsequently committed to the custody of an institution, a copy of such report shall be delivered, with the judge’s recommendations, to the director of such institution for his guidance in the treatment and orientation of the child.
