The home/demanding/sending state is responsible for returning the juvenile. If the home/demanding/sending state’s ICJ Office determines that a juvenile is considered a risk to harm him/herself or others, the juvenile shall be accompanied on the return to the home/demanding/sending state.
Holding/receiving states are responsible for transporting juveniles to local airports or other means of public transportation, as arranged by the home/demanding/sending state. Duly accredited officers of any compacting state are permitted to transport juveniles through any compacting state without interference.
If the juvenile is traveling by air, he/she shall be supervised from arrival to departure. All states must provide supervision and assistance to unescorted juveniles at intermediate airports during layovers. The home/demanding state must request airport supervision at least 48 hours in advance of the layover.
