Head Matter:
In the Matter of Jade Q., a Person Alleged to be a Juvenile Delinquent, Appellant.
[837 NYS2d 567]

Opinion:
Order of disposition, Family Court, Bronx County (Juan M. Merchan, J.), entered on or about October 13, 2006, which adjudicated appellant a juvenile delinquent, upon her admission that she committed an act which, if committed by an adult, would constitute menacing in the third degree, and placed her on probation for a period of 12 months, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
The court properly exercised its discretion in adjudicating appellant a juvenile delinquent rather than a person in need of supervision (see e.g. Matter of Rosemary R., 29 AD3d 309 [2006]), in view of the violent nature of appellant's conduct toward her grandmother in the underlying incident, as well as appellant's history of violent behavior at school and truancy problems.
