§ 767. Orders on hearing.
(a) If the court determines after hearing
that continued placement serves the purposes of this article, it shall
deny the petition. The court may, on its own motion, reduce the duration
of the placement, change the agency in which the child is placed, or
direct the agency to make such other arrangements for the person's care
and welfare as the facts of the case may require.
(b) If the court determines after hearing that continued placement
does not serve the purposes of this article, the court shall discharge
the person from the custody of the agency and may place the person on
probation or under the supervision of the court.
