Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the minor could personally participate in the child-protection appeal and appoint a representative
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. A child under 16 subject to protective detention under Art. 314a ZGB cannot independently seek judicial review or intervene personally, even if capable of judgment.
Extrahierte Begründung
The statute expressly regulates the procedural rights of minors in this context; the clear wording of Art. 314a Abs. 2 ZGB excludes self-initiated proceedings by under-16 children.
