In re Sherrod B.
Opinion of the Court
—Order of disposition, Family Court, New York County (Sheldon Rand, J.),
In view of the serious nature of appellant’s unlawful conduct as well as his lack of insight into his multiple criminal acts and their impact on the victim, the court properly placed appellant on probation with counseling and community service. This disposition was the least restrictive alternative consistent with appellant’s needs and the needs of the community (see, Family Ct Act § 352.2 [2] [a]). The court properly relied upon evaluations by a psychiatrist and a probation officer as to the need for probation and treatment. Concur — Sullivan, P. J., Williams, Ellerin, Wallach and Friedman, JJ.
