If, after hearing, the court determines all of the following, the court shall grant permission for the department or county department to administer psychotropic medication to the juvenile without the parent's or guardian's consent:
1. That the parent's or guardian's consent is unreasonably withheld or that the parent or guardian cannot be found or that there is no parent with legal custody, except that the court may not determine that a parent's or guardian's consent is unreasonably withheld solely because the parent or guardian relies on treatment by spiritual means through prayer for healing in accordance with his or her religious tradition.
