    INTRODUCTION

    ## Legislative bill overview


    This bill aims to revise provisions related to the custody of alleged delinquent children before and after a temporary custody hearing.

    ## Why is this important


    This is important as it directly impacts the handling and placement of children in custody situations, balancing the need for safety with the least restrictive alternative.

    ## Potential points of contention


    • Criteria for placing a child in detention may be seen as too broad or subjective.

    • Duration of detention for protection purposes may raise concerns about due process and individual rights.

    • Impact on already vulnerable children and families if placed in shelter or detention.
