  16. Power to commit neglected child to suitable custody
  (1) If the Board so
  
  thinks fit, it may, instead of making an order under sub-section (2) of section
  
  15 for sending the child to a children’s home, make an order placing the child
  
  under the care of a parent, guardian or other fit person , on such parent,
  
  guardian or fit person executing a bond with or without surety to be
  
  responsible for the good behavior and well-being of the child and for the
  
  observance of such conditions as the Board may think fit to impose.
  (2) At the time of
  
  making an order under sub-section (1) or at any time subsequently, the Board
  
  may, in addition, make an order that the child be placed under supervision for
  
  any period not exceeding three years in the first instance.
  (3) Notwithstanding
  
  anything contained in sub-section (1) or sub-section (2), if at any time it
  
  appears to the Board, on receiving a report from the probation officer or
  
  otherwise, that there has been a breach of any of the conditions imposed by it
  
  in respect of the child, it may, after making such inquiry as it deems fit,
  
  order the child to be sent to a children’s home.
