Rule 132 Telephoning and Visitation.

When a child is placed in a shelter or detention facility, they have the right to call their parents, guardian, custodian, and lawyer right away. This means the child does not have to wait to reach out to the important people in their life after being admitted.

The child also has the right to see certain people in person. Right after being admitted, the child's lawyer, parents, guardian, or custodian can visit in private at any time. After that first visit, these same people can still visit the child, but it has to happen during regular visiting hours set by the facility.

This rule makes sure kids in shelters or detention centers stay connected to their family and legal support. It guarantees quick contact when they first arrive, then sets up a normal visiting schedule after that.
