In re A.M.
The juvenile court sustained a petition against A.M. (minor), age 12, for assault with a deadly weapon and misdemeanor battery, and declared him a ward of the court pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 602. Minor was removed from the physical custody of his mother, and ordered to suitable placement. The juvenile court declared the maximum time of confinement as four years and two months, giving minor credit for 87 days. Minor contends substantial evidence does not support the trial courts disposition order and argues that the juvenile court should have placed him on probation without declaring him a ward of the court, and should have ordered joint supervision by the probation department and the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). Court affirm.
