*********

Minor C.R. appeals from an order granting the probation department’s petition pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 7781 to place C.R. in a suitable placement. We appointed appellate counsel to represent her. Appointed counsel filed a brief in which no issues were raised. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende).) The brief included a declaration from counsel that he reviewed the record and advised C.R. of her right, under Wende, to submit a supplemental brief. C.R. did not file a supplemental brief with this court. The procedural history and facts are as follows: On January 30, 2012, a petition was filed under section 602, alleging C.R. had engaged in prostitution (Pen. Code, § 647, subd. (b)). On March 5, 2012, C.R. admitted the petition and was placed at home on probation for six months. A subsequent section 602 petition was filed on April 5, 2012, alleging prostitution (Pen. Code, § 647, subd. (b)) and loitering to commit prostitution (Pen. Code, § 653.22, subd. (a)). C.R. denied the allegations, and the matter was tried to the court. The trial court sustained the petition and ordered C.R. to be suitably placed. On August 7, 2012, a subsequent petition was filed under section 777, alleging C.R. had violated the terms of her probation by leaving her placement without permission (C.R. had gone AWOL). On August 8, 2012, C.R. admitted the petition, and was placed in a three-month Camp-Community Placement Program. The probation officer’s reports documented C.R.’s progress during her camp placement. She generally did well at camp. Initially, C.R. told her probation officer she would like to return home to her mother following camp. However, a subsequent report from C.R.’s therapist revealed C.R. had concerns about returning home. Specifically, she worried she “may return to behaviors she was incarcerated for based on negative environmental influences [at home].” The probation department’s 60-day camp progress report indicated the probation officer’s contacts with mother had been confrontational.
