§ 2151.331.
A child alleged to be or adjudicated an abused, neglected, dependent, or unruly child
or a juvenile traffic offender may be detained after a complaint is filed in a certified
foster home for a period not exceeding sixty days or until the final disposition of
the case, whichever comes first. The court also may arrange with a public children services agency or private child
placing agency to receive, or with a private noncustodial agency for temporary care
of, the child within the jurisdiction of the court. A child alleged to be or adjudicated an unruly child also may be assigned to an
alternative diversion program established by the court for a period not exceeding
sixty days after a complaint is filed or until final disposition of the case, whichever
comes first. If the court arranges for the board of a child temporarily detained in a certified
foster home or arranges for the board of a child through a private child placing agency,
the board of county commissioners shall pay a reasonable sum, which the court shall
fix, for the board of the child. In order to have certified foster homes available for service, an agreed monthly
subsidy may be paid in addition to a fixed rate per day for care of a child actually
residing in the certified foster home.
