Opinion
July 7, 1997
Appeal from the Family Court, Queens County (Lubow, J.).
Ordered that the order of disposition is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
We disagree with the appellant's contention that his placement should have been less restrictive. The Family Court has broad discretion in entering dispositional orders ( see, Family Ct Act § 141). The record demonstrates that the court carefully considered the less-restrictive alternatives to placing the appellant in a residential facility, and did not improvidently exercise its discretion ( see, Family Ct Act § 352.2; Matter of Katherine W., 62 N.Y.2d 947; Matter of Jason W., 207 A.D.2d 495; Matter of Jamil W., 184 A.D.2d 513).
