278 A.D.2d 939 (N.Y. App. Div. 2000)

Opinion

December 27, 2000.

Appeal from Order of Monroe County Family Court, Miller, J. — Placement.

PRESENT: PIGOTT, JR., P.J., HAYES, WISNER, SCUDDER AND LAWTON, JJ.


Order unanimously affirmed without costs.

Memorandum:

Family Court did not abuse its discretion in directing respondent's placement with the Office of Children and Family Services in a limited secure facility. The evidence at the dispositional hearing establishes that respondent is a danger to herself and others in a less restrictive environment and that her "problems and needs can be addressed most effectively in a limited secure facility" ( Matter of Vidal W., 267 A.D.2d 1104; see, Matter of Donald M., 263 A.D.2d 957, 958; Matter of Willie J. H., 258 A.D.2d 938). We have examined respondent `s remaining contentions and conclude that they are without merit.
