§ 1057. Release of the child to the respondent or respondents;

supervision of the respondent or respondents.

(a) The court may release the child to the respondent or respondents

for a period of up to one year, which may be extended pursuant to

subdivision (d) of this section.

(b) In conjunction with an order releasing a child under this section

or an order under paragraph (ii), (iii) or (iv) of subdivision (a) of

section one thousand fifty-two of this part, the court may place the

respondent or respondents under supervision of a child protective agency

or of a social services official or duly authorized agency. An order of

supervision entered under this section shall set forth the terms and

conditions of such supervision that the respondent or respondents must

meet and the actions that the child protective agency, social services

official or duly authorized agency must take to exercise such

supervision.

(c) Except as provided for herein, in any order issued pursuant to

subdivision (a) or (b) of this section, the court may require the child

protective agency to make progress reports to the court, the parties,

and the child's attorney on the implementation of such order. Where the

order of disposition is issued upon the consent of the parties and the

child's attorney, such agency shall report to the court, the parties and

the child's attorney no later than ninety days after the issuance of the

order and no later than sixty days prior to the expiration of the order,

unless the court determines that the facts and circumstances of the case

do not require such report to be made. Uniform statewide rules of court

shall define permissible terms and conditions of supervision of the

respondent or respondents under this section.

(d) The duration of any period of release of the child to the

respondent or respondents or supervision of the respondent or

respondents or both shall be for an initial period of no more than one

year. The court may at the expiration of that period, upon a hearing and

for good cause shown, extend such release or supervision or both for a

period of up to one year.
