After placing a victim under placement in accordance with Article 19, the competent authority shall conduct an assessment (on the said victim) every three (3) months. If, following an assessment mentioned above, the competent authority finds that a victim requires no further placement, that the said victim needs to be transferred to a different placement facility, or that the said victim requires any other more appropriate treatments, the said competent authority may file a motion requesting a competent court to issue a ruling ordering the halt of placement of the said victim, the transfer of the said victim to a different placement facility, or (the adoption of) any other appropriate treatments.If, prior to the end of (the period of) placement of a victim ordered by a competent court in accordance with Subparagraph 2 of Paragraph 2 of Article 19, the competent authority at the special municipality or city (county) level finds that the said victim requires further placement, the said competent authority should, within forty-five (45) days before the end of (the period of) the said victim’s placement, submit an assessment report to a competent court and request the said court to issue a ruling ordering the extension of placement of the said victim. The period of each extension (of placement of a victim) shall not exceed one (1) year. However, the placement of a victim shall not be extended beyond the twentieth (20th) birthday of the said victim.If an assessment of a victim, who reaches the age of eighteen (18) during the placement (period) of the said victim, finds that the said victim requires further placement, the said victim may be placed under further placement until the end of placement (period) of the said victim or until the twentieth (20th) birthday of the said victim.In the case that a victim is exempted from placement, that a victim requires no placement, or that the placement of a victim is halted, the competent authority at the special municipality or city (county) level shall assist the said victim and the family of the said victim in making necessary arrangements beforehand for the return of the said victim.
