(2023) 93 Cal.App.5th 953. > We agree with Delila D. that, based on the plain language of the statutes, children taken into protective custody by warrant under section 340, subdivision (a) or (b), and delivered to a social worker under subdivision (c) of section 340, are received and maintained in the temporary custody of the social worker within the meaning of section 306, subdivision (a)(1). (Delila D., supra, 93 Cal.App.5th at pp. 971–972.) Therefore, these children fall within the ambit of section 224.2, subdivision (b), which expressly applies to children in temporary county custody under section 306. — Jerry R., In re (2023) F085850, slip op., p. 16.
