¹ The child is heard in per­son and in an ap­pro­pri­ate way by the court or by a third party ap­poin­ted for this pur­pose, to the ex­tent that the child's age or oth­er good cause does not pre­clude a hear­ing.

² Only the in­form­a­tion that is rel­ev­ant for the de­cision is placed on re­cord. This in­form­a­tion shall be com­mu­nic­ated to the par­ents or the child's wel­fare agent.

³ A child who has the ca­pa­city to con­sent may con­test the re­fus­al to grant a hear­ing by fil­ing an ob­jec­tion.
