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.
If you call your town offices there may an agency you could contact for more information.
