Opinion
September 29, 1998
Appeal from the Family Court, New York County (Gloria Sosa-Lintner, J.).
The record establishes that the court's placement of respondent was the least restrictive alternative consistent with his needs ( Matter of Jason L., 246 A.D.2d 444), in view of the serious nature of appellant's unlawful conduct, his school-truancy problem, and the absence of parental control.
Concur — Sullivan, J. P., Nardelli, Rubin, Tom and Mazzarelli, JJ.
