When should a shelter petition be filed?

24 hours after removal
After completing a form for FA
Before 18 years old
After conducting a home study

The correct answer is: 24 hours after removal

A shelter petition should be filed within 24 hours after a child has been removed from their home. This is because a shelter petition is necessary in order to place a child in a temporary foster home or shelter until a court hearing can be held to determine the child's long-term placement. Option B is incorrect because a form for FA does not pertain to a shelter petition. Option C is incorrect as there is no age requirement for filing a shelter petition. Option D is incorrect because a home study is not necessary for filing a shelter petition. It is important to file a shelter petition within the designated timeframe in order to ensure the safety and well-being of the child in question.
