The court may order changes in the child's placement or treatment plan based on the review. (4) If the court has retained jurisdiction over a child under this section, the child may be released only with the approval of the court.

Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.
