[Emtsgv]

Hello guys, ive been racking my brain trying to remember what the 72 hour hold for children was called

any takers?

5150 for adults
**** for children!!!
in California LA county

 

[JPINFV]

Welfare and Institutions Code 5585. However, it's the same form as the WIC 5150s.

If you need to find it in the future, just find a 5150 form online. The code section is mentioned near the top.

The CA application for a 5150 has a specific section for "gravely disabled" minors and I don't see any other codes specific to minors. There is mention that minors have the same rights as adults, plus that parents cannot waive any of those rights.

Maybe you're thinking of the 14 day 5250 hold?

5585.20. This part shall apply only to the initial 72 hours of mental health evaluation and treatment provided to a minor. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act (Part 1 (commencing with Section 5000)), unless the context otherwise requires, the definitions and procedures contained in this part shall, for the initial 72 hours of evaluation and treatment, govern the construction of state law governing the civil commitment of minors for involuntary treatment. To the extent that this part conflicts with any other provisions of law, it is the intent of the Legislature that this part shall apply. Evaluation and treatment of a minor beyond the initial 72 hours shall be pursuant to the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act (Part 1 (commencing with Section 5000)).
