No. When a parent or custodian voluntarily places a child at The BCV and has legal custody of the child, a Transfer of Physical Custody is all that is needed. This allows us to enroll a child in school, take care of their medical needs, and represent them in non-custodial affairs. Legal custody remains with the legal guardian. What does that mean? You are still the parent or legal guardian and can remove your child from The BCV at anytime.
