been a substantial change of material circumstances, there exists new evidence

affecting the disposition of the child, the child is no longer in need of commitment,

probation, or placement, the child has not responded to or benefited from treatment

or the child has not received adequate and proper treatment, the original

proceedings were not conducted in the manner required by law or the public interest

requires termination of the order. Upon review of the child's case, the Department

the supervision, care, or treatment of the child shall divulge and communicate such

information regarding the child as the court may require.
