Ill. Admin. Code tit. 89, § 329.70 - All Other Runaway Children
a) When no agency, state, or jurisdiction is
legally responsible for children who have run away, the Department is to
contact the state from which the children have run and request that state to
arrange for and pay for the return of the children according to the provisions
of the Interstate Compact on Juveniles. If the state from which the children
have run away refuses to arrange for or pay for the children's return, the
Department shall arrange for and pay for the return of children from Illinois
to another state. However, the Department will not arrange for or pay for the
return of an Illinois child for whom the Department is not legally responsible
when the child runs away to another locale in Illinois.
b) Arranging for the Interstate Return of
Runaway Children
The Department is authorized to arrange for the return of runaway children between Illinois and another state when:
1) another agency or jurisdiction is not
legally responsible for the child;
2) the child will be returned to his state of
legal residence and family or other caretaker; and
3) when the child or an individual speaking
on behalf of the child consents to his return.
c) Paying for the Interstate Return of
Runaway Children
The Department is authorized to reimburse another agency or jurisdiction for the return of runaway children between Illinois and another state when:
1) the arrangements for
the child's return meet the conditions above; and
2) the agency or individual has obtained
Department approval for the expenses before they were incurred.
