subtitle to determine whether the allegations in the petition, other than the
allegation that the child requires the court's intervention, are true.
[3-801.1.
If guardianship of a child is awarded under this subtitle, the guardian shall
notify the parents of the child as soon as practicable of any emergency decision made

3-807.
(a) (4) (i) In Prince George's County, the judges of the circuit court may

arraignments, acceptances of admissions, and restitution hearings in delinquency
cases under Subtitle 8A of this title; and
2. Shelter care, [adjudication] ADJUDICATORY, and
disposition hearings in CINA cases under this subtitle.
3-815.
(c) (2) (i) The court shall hold a shelter care hearing on the petition before

hearing, the court finds that an inpatient evaluation is necessary and there are no
less restrictive means to obtain an evaluation.
(ii) Placement in an inpatient facility may not exceed [20] 21 days
unless the court finds good cause.
(c) (1) The report of a study under this section is admissible as evidence at a
disposition hearing but not at an [adjudication] ADJUDICATORY hearing.
