v.

CHRISTIAN B.,

Defendant and Appellant.

APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Robin R. Kesler, Judge. Affirmed. James M. Crawford, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. Kamala D. Harris, Attorney General, Dane R. Gillette, Chief Assistant Attorney General, Lance E. Winters, Assistant Attorney General, Steven D. Matthews and Analee J. Brodie, Deputy Attorneys General, for Plaintiff and Respondent. _________________________

Appellant Christian B., a minor, appeals from the order of wardship (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 602) entered following his admission he committed a lewd act upon a child (Pen. Code, § 288, subd. (a)). The court ordered appellant placed home on probation. We affirm the order of wardship. FACTUAL SUMMARY The probation report filed June 2, 2009, reflects that between about January 1, 2008, and December 17, 2008, appellant, who was about 14 years old, committed a violation of Penal Code section 288, subdivision (a) against Giovanni T. (Giovanni), who was about eight years old. During the above period, appellant rubbed Giovanni’s penis through his pants. Appellant later lowered appellant’s pants and underwear, had Giovanni do the same, and had Giovanni sit on appellant’s lap. Subsequently, appellant had Giovanni orally copulate him. Finally, appellant attempted to sodomize Giovanni. ISSUE Appellant claims the trial court erroneously ordered $26,633.48 in restitution. DISCUSSION The Trial Court’s Restitution Award Was Proper. 1. Pertinent Facts. Based on appellant’s conduct, a petition filed April 6, 2009, alleged appellant committed a violation of Penal Code section 288, subdivision (a) between January 1, 2008, and December 17, 2008. On July 13, 2009, appellant admitted the charge and, on July 27, 2009, the court entered an order of wardship and ordered appellant placed on probation. On April 21, 2011, the People filed a motion for restitution (motion). The motion discussed facts about the offenses, then stated, “As a result of this traumatic experience, the victim [Giovanni] underwent mental and emotional distress and developed anger issues. In an effort to cope with these problems, the victim had to attend therapy once per week, karate lessons three times per week, and had pediatric appointments three times per week for several months. The victim also had suicidal ideations because of this
