§43A-5-508.
   
   A. The report of an independent licensed mental health professional
   prepared pursuant to Section 5-506 or 5-507 of this title shall
   include written findings as to whether:
   
   1. The child appears to have demonstrable mental illness and as a
   result of that mental illness can be expected within the near future
   to inflict or attempt to inflict serious bodily harm to himself or
   herself or another person if mental health services are not provided,
   has engaged in one or more recent overt acts or made significant
   recent threats which substantially support that expectation, and is
   reasonably likely to benefit from mental health treatment; and
   
   2. Based upon the following, inpatient treatment is the least
   restrictive alternative that meets the needs of the child:
   
   a. reasonable efforts have been made to provide for the mental health
   treatment needs of the child through the provision of less restrictive
   alternatives and such alternatives have failed to meet the treatment
   needs of the child, or
   
   b. after a thorough consideration of less restrictive alternatives to
   inpatient treatment, the condition of the child is such that less
   restrictive alternatives are unlikely to meet the mental health
   treatment needs of the child; and
   
   3. The child has been provided with a clinically appropriate
   explanation of the nature and purpose of the treatment; and
   
   4. If the child is sixteen (16) years of age or older and was admitted
   to or detained in a mental health facility pursuant to Section 5-506
   of this title, the child has been provided with an explanation of the
   rights of the child pursuant to the Inpatient Mental Health Treatment
   of Children Act as they would apply if the child were to object to
   admission, and the child has objected to admission.
   
   B. Any report of a mental health evaluation of a child alleged to be a
   child in need of mental health treatment that recommends that the
   child be found to be eligible for inpatient mental health treatment
   shall be signed by the independent licensed mental health professional
   examining the child.
   
   C. The report of a mental health evaluation of a child pursuant to
   Section 5-506 or 5-507 of this title shall be submitted to the
   district attorney.
   
   D. The parents, all public agencies, and all providers or programs
   which have treated or are treating the child shall cooperate with the
   person conducting a mental health evaluation for the purpose of
   providing a report to a district attorney or to a district court and
   shall promptly deliver, as otherwise provided by law, all records
   related to the treatment or education of the child.
