This program provides temporary foster care for juveniles who are in custody, but not under arrest. Attendants are called by area police departments when they have a juvenile in custody and no adult family member or guardian can take immediate care of the child. This may include a baby whose parents were injured in an auto accident or children whose parents are under arrest, or even run-away teenagers.
