IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION SIX

In re B.P., a Person Coming 2d Juv. No. B302713 Under the Juvenile Court Law. (Super. Ct. No. VJ46452) (Los Angeles County)

THE PEOPLE,

Plaintiff and Respondent,

v.

B.P.,

Defendant and Appellant.

B.P. appeals his placement in camp by the juvenile court on November 26, 2019. He contends the court abused its discretion because less restrictive placements would have better served his rehabilitative needs. We conclude the court did not abuse its discretion. The record indicates the court ordered appellant to camp only after less restrictive alternatives failed to rehabilitate him or to adequately protect the public. Affirmed.

PROCEDURAL AND FACTUAL BACKGROUND B.P. was charged in a juvenile wardship petition on October 16, 2018 with carrying a weapon on school grounds. (Pen. Code, § 626.10 subd. (a)(1); Welf. & Inst. Code, § 602.) He was charged with petty theft in a separate petition on November 20, 2018. (Pen. Code, §§ 484, subd. (a); 490.1.) Appellant admitted the allegations in both petitions. The juvenile court placed appellant on probation without wardship for six months on January 2, 2019 pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 725, subdivision (a). The court revoked the section 725 order on May 7, 2019 after appellant tested positive for marijuana and accumulated many school absences. It placed him in a Community Detention Program (“CDP”), a form of house arrest, with orders to detain him upon a first violation of his CDP conditions. Two days later his CDP officer found him at school under the influence of marijuana and carrying brass knuckles and a knife. The court removed appellant from CDP on May 15 and declared him a ward of the court. (Welf. & Inst. Code, §§ 602, 636, subd. (d).) It ordered him detained at juvenile hall until his disposition hearing on May 30. The court ordered appellant suitably placed by the probation department on May 30. He entered Rancho San Antonio Boys Home (“RSA”) on June 4, 2019. He was removed from RSA on September 30 and returned to juvenile hall “for having verbal, physical and gang related altercations” throughout his stay.1
