MINOR FOR THE TERM AND ON THE CONDITIONS SPECIFIED BY THE
SENDING PARENT OR GUARDIAN OR BY THE PLACEMENT OR COMMITMENT

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly appeared as the
second clause of the first sentence of Article
52A, § 18.

The only changes are in style.

The Commission to Revise the Annotated Code
considered the word "retain" and its possible
implications, especially in light of former
Article 52A, § 10(b), which related to escape
from certain institutions. Since former Article
52A, § 10(b) applied only to "children
adjudicated delinquent" and, as a matter of
policy, the House of the Good Shepherd does not
accept that kind of child, the Commission
concluded that an exception for the House from
the escape statute is not required. The
substance of formers Article 52A, § 10(b) now
appears in Article 27, § 139 of the Code.
