In re Khalid M.
Khalid M., a minor, appeals from the orders terminating his status as a dependent under Welfare and Institutions Code section 300, declaring him a ward of the court pursuant to section 602 and committing him to suitable placement, by reason of his having possessed a folding knife with locking blade on school grounds (Pen. Code, 626.10, subd. (a)). The juvenile court ordered suitable placement for appellant, imposing terms and conditions, including a condition that he stay away from places where narcotics users congregate and a condition that he not be in the presence of any unlawfully armed person. Appellant contends that (1) the minute order must be corrected to delete the condition that he stay away from places where users congregate because it was not included in the oral pronouncement of the decision, and (2) these conditions are constitutionally vague and overbroad and must be modified to include a knowledge requirement. The People contend that appellant has forfeited his constitutional claims by failing to raise them in the juvenile court.
Court modify the condition that appellant not be in the presence of any unlawfully armed person, remand for determination of whether the condition that he stay away from places where users congregate should be imposed and otherwise affirm.
