(2) (b) 6. If the juvenile is placed outside the home, a finding that
5continued placement of the juvenile in his or her home would be contrary to the
6welfare of the juvenile or, if the juvenile has been adjudicated delinquent and is
7placed outside the home under s. 938.34 (3) (a), (c), (cm), or (d) or (4d), a finding that
8the juvenile's current residence will not safeguard the welfare of the juvenile or the
9community due to the serious nature of the act for which the juvenile was adjudicated
10delinquent. The court order shall also contain a finding as to whether the county
11department or the agency primarily responsible for providing services under a court
12order has made reasonable efforts to prevent the removal of the juvenile from the
13home, while assuring that the juvenile's health and safety are the paramount
14concerns, unless the court finds that any of the circumstances under sub. (2d) (b) 1.
15to 4. applies, and
, if a permanency plan has previously been prepared for the juvenile, 16a finding as to whether the county department or agency has made reasonable efforts
17to achieve the goal of the juvenile's permanency plan,
including, if appropriate,

19goal of the permanency plan and the court finds that any of the circumstances under

21subdivision on a case-by-case basis based on circumstances specific to the juvenile
22and shall document or reference the specific information on which those findings are
23based in the court order. A court order that merely references this subdivision
24without documenting or referencing that specific information in the court order or
1an amended court order that retroactively corrects an earlier court order that does
2not comply with this subdivision is not sufficient to comply with this subdivision.
