You can't send a child to juvenile detention. That would be done by a juvenile court after the child was found responsible for some unlawful act.
If you know a child who needs the attention of the juvenile authorities you should visit the juvenile court and ask to speak with an advocate. Most all juvenile court systems have a procedure for taking custody of a child who needs help and placing that child in foster care or a residential program. In some jurisdictions that would involve filing a petition for a Child In Need of Services at the juvenile Court.

In my 9 years in Juvenile Probation (Utah) I've always seen more boys than girls in detention. The ratio has varied from 2 to 1 to 10 to 1, with an average of about 4 to 1. Boys tend to commit more offences worthy of detention than girls do.
A facility that handles minors who violate the law is a juvenile detention facility, which may be called a juvenile hall. or a youth corrections center.
Juvenile Hall is basically another term for a juvenile detention center. These places generally hold children until they are sentenced, after which they may serve a brief time in the facility or are transferred to other facilities similar to a prison for adults. A juvenile detention center is homologous to a jail, while other state facilities commonly known as reform schools for teens or other juvenile delinquents are homologous to prisons for adults.
A juvenile detention facility is where individuals sentenced to a jail or prison term in Juvenile court are placed until their sentence term is up or they reach a certain age (typically around 18 or 21) and must be transferred to an adult detention facility to finish the remainder of their sentence term.
In most cases, a parent cannot unilaterally send their child to a juvenile detention center. Juvenile detention usually requires involvement from law enforcement, the courts, or a social services agency. Parents may seek assistance from these authorities if they are concerned about their child's behavior.

Well, that depends. If you are 9 and commit murders and you are troubled then you deserve to go to Juvenile Detention. Over 13 and there is no remorse or any kind of emotional breakdowns they might send you to a Mental instiution. So, to be honest, it ranges from any young age to 18.

An intact family can't do that. A juvenile detention is related to the commission of a crime, so only the court does that. You can give up the child to family services, but the other parent can challenge for custody.
