Reasonable restrictions may include, but not be limited to:
(1) Ordering a parent, guardian, or custodian, within forty-eight hours after the issuance of the order, to vacate the child's home indefinitely or for a specified period of time.
(2) Ordering a parent, guardian, or custodian, to prevent a particular person from having contact with the child.
(3) Restraining or otherwise controlling the conduct of any person if his or her conduct is not in the best interest of the child.

(1) The PCPA shall prepare and maintain a case plan pursuant to rule 5101:2-38-07 of the Administrative Code.
(2) The PCPA shall make available appropriate supportive services to the child, parent, guardian, or custodian, or, if applicable, pre-finalized adoptive parent. The PCPA shall comply with rule 5101:2-40-02 of the Administrative Code if providing supportive services.
(3) The PCPA shall review the progress in achieving the case plan objective and services by completing case reviews pursuant to rule 5101:2-38-09 of the Administrative Code.

(C) No later than one year after the date the complaint was filed or the child was placed in shelter care, whichever is earlier, the PCPA shall file a written request with the court to either terminate, or extend for six months the order of protective supervision. If the PCPA requests termination of the order, the agency shall file a written status report setting out the facts supporting termination of the order at the time the request is filed with the court.
(D) The PCPA shall provide written notice of the proposed extension, or termination, to all parties of the case plan, parent, guardian, custodian, and the child's guardian ad litem no later than the close of business of the day after the day of filing.
