Disposition versions
44. (1) Whenever a child escapes from a school or from any other institution to which he has been entrusted under this act, or refuses or neglects to return to it after the expiration of leave granted under subsection 1 of section 39, the director shall take the necessary measures to bring him back.
Any peace officer or other person authorized for the purpose by the director may, without warrant, take charge of the child and return him to such school or institution or to another school or institution designated by the Minister.
(2) Every child who escapes from a school or other institution to which he has been entrusted under this act, or refuses or neglects to return to it after the expiration of a leave of absence, or neglects or refuses to comply with the rules of the school or other institution may, upon a report, giving reasons, by the director of the school or institution, be brought before the judge. The latter may impose on such child, in view of the particular reasons for his reappearance before him, such order and conditions as he deems to be in the child’s interest.
