(3)
When a child comes under any of the provisions of KRS 201.090, the board
may file a petition in the juvenile session of the District Court setting forth the
facts in regard to the child. The court shall thereupon issue a writ for the
custody of the child, and the writ shall be served upon the parents or the
person having actual custody or control of the child, or if the child is under no
actual parental custody or control, then upon the child itself. If the writ is served
upon the child, the board shall place the child in the temporary custody of the
home, or of some private person or public agency until the final order of the
court. Notice of the time of the hearing shall be served on the parents or the
person having actual custody or control of the child, and such person shall
have the right to call witnesses and be heard as to his rights, fitness and ability
to care for and educate the child.
If the facts set forth in the petition are found to be true and any of the
conditions set forth in KRS 201.090 exist, the court shall order that the child be
committed to the custody of the board. If the parents are able to maintain and
support the child, the court shall require them to pay board, and may enforce
such payment by attachment or other proceedings as in cases of contempt.
An appeal may be taken from any orders, judgments or commitments made
under the provisions of this section according to the procedures established in
KRS 610.130 for appeals from the juvenile session of District Court.
