In re M.T. CA2/6

FACTS AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY

In December 2019, appellant was ordered a ward of the juvenile court pursuant to section 602. After serving a short term in Community Camp, appellant was released to the home of his mother, continued as a ward of the juvenile court, and was placed on probation subject to various conditions. Specifically, he was ordered to attend school, participate in “wraparound” services, and contact probation as instructed. On March 3, 2021, the juvenile court conducted a progress report hearing. The progress report filed the same day by appellant’s probation officer stated appellant was not in compliance with the conditions of his probation and recommended he complete “60 days on the Community Detention Program.” The report stated that appellant was sneaking out of the house at night, was not attending school or counseling regularly, had not made any payment toward his restitution and was unavailable for job placement on several occasions. Appellant also took pills without a prescription and had to be hospitalized. A record check revealed appellant was arrested on February 11, 2021, but the district attorney’s office elected not to file the case.
