Opinion
April 10, 1989
Appeal from the Family Court, Queens County (Torres, J.).
Ordered that the order of disposition is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
The Family Court's decision to place the appellant in a New York State Division for Youth, Title II facility was not an improvident exercise of discretion, as the record clearly supports that court's determination that the needs and best interests of the appellant, as well as the need for protection of the community, would be best served by that placement, which is the least restrictive alternative under the circumstances in this case (see, Family Ct Act § 352.2; Matter of Katherine W., 62 N.Y.2d 947; Matter of Perry V., 147 A.D.2d 576). Thompson, J.P., Lawrence, Eiber and Spatt, JJ., concur.
