§ 3703. Order for Temporary Custody; Warrant.

In such proceeding, when it appears to the court or judge either from

a verified petition or from affidavits, that the welfare of the minor will be

imperiled if he is allowed to remain in the custody of the person then

having his care, an order may be made providing for his temporary

custody until a hearing can be had on the petition. And when it appears

that there is reason to believe that the minor will be carried out of the

jurisdiction of the court, or will suffer some irreparable injury before

compliance with such order providing for the temporary custody of the

minor can be enforced, the court or judge, at the time of making the order

for temporary custody, may cause a warrant to be issued, reciting the

facts and directed to the Director of Public Safety, commanding such

officer to take the minor from the custody of the person in whose care he

then is and place him in custody in accordance with such order.
