Placement by court order may occur where the parents are relieved of or have withdrawn from them parental authority or where a family supervision order is made and the parental rights are limited by powers granted to a family supervisor appointed for this purpose by the court. A placement qualifies as a custodial placement if it is based on a decision of a guardianship institution which is charged with authority after the parents have been relieved of or have withdrawn their parental authority.
