Opinion
October 30, 1995
Appeal from the Family Court, Richmond County (Clark, J.).
Ordered that the order of disposition is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
The Family Court's decision with respect to the disposition demonstrated that it carefully considered the least restrictive alternative consistent with the needs of the juvenile and the need for protection of the community. Accordingly, it cannot be said that the Family Court improvidently exercised its discretion in placing the appellant with the Division for Youth (see, Family Ct Act § 352.2; Matter of Tarik R., 217 A.D.2d 584; Matter of Jason W., 207 A.D.2d 495). Mangano, P.J., Miller, Santucci and Hart, JJ., concur.
