(a) All facilities from which a youth has absconded must accept the youth back.

(b) If the facility feels it can no longer handle the youth, the appropriate youth service team should be informed immediately. In cases of emergency, the district supervisor, the regional director, or an appropriate person at the Albany central office should be contacted immediately. Under no circumstances should a returning AWOL youth be released to the community or to the street.

(c) The youth service team must work out a new placement for those youth deemed inappropriate for the facility in which they currently are residing.
