The admission of a minor is decided, unless necessary, at the request of a person exercising parental authority or the judicial authority.
The admission of a minor who has been placed in an educational establishment or entrusted to a private individual by the judicial authority ruling on educational assistance or in application of the texts governing delinquent children, is pronounced at the request of the director of the establishment or that of the guardian.
In the case of a minor under the care of the child welfare service, admission is granted at the request of this service unless the minor has been entrusted to it by a person exercising parental authority. However, if no one exercising parental authority can be contacted in good time, admission is requested by the child welfare service.
