N.Y. Family Court Act § 767: Orders on hearing

§ 767. Orders on hearing. (a) If the court determines after hearing

that continued placement serves the purposes of this article, it shall

deny the petition. The court may, on its own motion, reduce the duration

of the placement, change the agency in which the child is placed, or

direct the agency to make such other arrangements for the person's care

and welfare as the facts of the case may require.

(b) If the court determines after hearing that continued placement

does not serve the purposes of this article, the court shall discharge

the person from the custody of the agency and may place the person on

probation or under the supervision of the court.
