After searching on the web, while there's isn't a term of art for this since this is not a custom in the US (let alone any anglosaxon jurisdiction), probably best to render as "child custody by (the) judge"
Peer comment(s):
agree philgoddard : Or court/judicial custody, or ward of court as Robin suggests. But I wouldn't say "custody by the judge", which implies the judge taking the child home with him/her.

wardship / ward of court

In the UK, and in the Republic of Irelend (and quite likely in some other English-speaking jurisdictions), a child can be made a "ward of court", which is approximately equivalent to the situation described in the question here.

The precise term in English will depend on the sentence structure.

If the judge decides that the child is unsafe, the court takes responsibility for the child, and the child becomes a "ward" of the court.

neutral Sandro Tomasi : Acc. to your Collins ref. ward of court is “a person ... placed under the control ... or of a court.” So how can it be the court? I like “wardship,” but IMO you need a modifier. Perhaps “judicial wardship”?

Difference Between Judicial Custody and Police Custody ...

Police Custody Both judicial custody and police custody limit the liberty and range of movement of a person. The law and its agents (specifically, the police
Peer comment(s):
neutral Sandro Tomasi : Police custody means that a person is under physical restraint by the police. Judicial custody, which I've never heard of, could be when an inmate is brought to ct. for a hearing and bailiffs are responsible for his physical cust. Here we need legal cust.
