IN RE: TIFFANY H., A Person Alleged to be a Juvenile Delinquent, Appellant. Presentment Agency.
Order of disposition, Family Court, New York County (Susan R. Larabee, J.), entered on or about December 2, 2004, which, upon a fact-finding determination that appellant failed to comply with the terms of her probation, revoked a prior order of disposition that had placed appellant on probation, and instead placed her in the custody of the New York State Office of Children and Family Services for a period of 18 months, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
The court properly concluded that a residential placement with emphasis on sex offender therapy and counseling was the least restrictive alternative consistent with appellant's best interests, as well as those of the community (see Matter of Katherine W., 62 N.Y.2d 947, 479 N.Y.S.2d 190, 468 N.E.2d 28 [1984] ), where probation had already failed (see Matter of Michael OO., 269 A.D.2d 633, 702 N.Y.S.2d 700 [2000] ). The court properly considered the probation and psychiatric reports and all the relevant factors including appellant's non-compliance with probation.
