Mandatory time limits affect trial court's competency to act, but objection must be raised before trial court to avoid waiver. In Interest of L.M.C. 146 W (2d) 377, 430 NW (2d) 352 (Ct. App. 1988).
938.355 Annotation
Section 118.16 (5) does not limit a court's discretion in setting school attendance requirements in a dispositional order for a delinquent juvenile and in imposing sanctions where the order is violated. By its terms s. 118.16 (5) is limited to children who are in need of protection and services as a result of being habitual truants. State v. Jason R.N. 201 W (2d) 646, 549 NW (2d) 752 (Ct. App. 1996).
938.355 Annotation
There is no requirement that the court apply the sanctions in sub. (6) (d) in graduated order of severity. Sanctions are solely within the discretion of the court. State v. Jason R.N. 201 W (2d) 646, 549 NW (2d) 752 (Ct. App. 1996).
938.355 Annotation
Sanctions for a violation of a dispositional order by a delinquent were found to not be punitive for purposes of double jeopardy. Craig S. G. v. State, 209 W (2d) 65, 561 NW (2d) 807 (Ct. App. 1997).

938.355 Annotation
All juveniles who violate a condition of a dispositional order are subject to sanctions under sub. (6) (d), but the restrictions that may be imposed on habitual truants are limited by sub. (6m). Under sub. (6g) no juvenile can be charged with contempt of court for the first violation of a dispositional order. State v. Aaron D. 214 W (2d) 56, 571 NW (2d) 399 (Ct. App. 1997).
938.355 Annotation
Expungement under sub. (4m) only applies to offenses committed after the effective date of ch. 938, July 1, 1996. State v. Jason J.C. 216 W (2d) 12, 573 NW (2d) 564 (Ct. App. 1997).

(1) Whenever the court orders a juvenile to be placed outside his or her home or denies a parent visitation because the juvenile has been adjudged to be in need of protection or services under
s. 938.345,
938.357,
938.363 or
938.365, the court shall orally inform the parent or parents who appear in court of any grounds for termination of parental rights under
