§43A-5-506.
   
   A. Upon the application of a parent with whom the child resides, a
   child sixteen (16) years of age or older who objects to admission may
   be admitted to a mental health facility willing to admit the child for
   up to three (3) days, excluding weekends and legal holidays. If
   admission or transfer from a private mental health facility to a
   state-operated facility is sought, the community mental health center
   serving the area in which the child resides shall provide the required
   mental health evaluations and reports and shall ensure that the
   necessary written findings have been made.
   
   B. 1. A child admitted pursuant to this section or detained as
   provided by Section 5-505 of this title shall be evaluated within
   forty-eight (48) hours of admission or detention by an independent
   licensed mental health professional and a report of the evaluation
   shall be submitted to the district attorney.
   
   2. Upon admission of a child pursuant to this section or detention
   pursuant to Section 5-505 of this title, the person requesting the
   petition shall immediately notify the district attorney. The child may
   be held by the mental health facility longer than three (3) days,
   excluding weekends and legal holidays, only after a petition is filed
   and upon an order of the court pending a hearing on a petition
   alleging the child to be a child in need of mental health treatment
   and to require inpatient treatment and further order of the court.
   
   C. A child admitted under this section who rescinds an objection may
   be retained in the hospital pursuant to Section 5-505 of this title.
   
   D. If the parent who consented to a child's admission under this
   section revokes such consent at any time, the child shall be released
   within forty-eight (48) hours to the parent's custody unless the
   person in charge of the facility, or a designee, requests the filing
   of a petition as provided by subsection C of Section 5-503 of this
   title.
