In re Hector C. CA4/1
Hector H. appeals from a juvenile court disposition order committing him to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ). He contends the court abused its discretion in committing him to the DJJ without adequate consideration of reasonable alternatives and without making necessary findings about his special educational needs under California Rules of Court, rule 5.651(b)(2), and seeks remand to allow for further assessment of his educational needs. Hector further contends the court erred in ordering restitution because he did not cause the victim's loss. We conclude the disposition order was not an abuse of the juvenile court's discretion and the restitution order was proper. We therefore affirm both orders.
