Text: [¶ 18] We find no abuse of discretion or violation of K.C.'s due process rights in her disposition after the revocation of her probation. Although it is better practice for a juvenile court to provide a record of its reasoning in making a particular disposition, it is not necessary as long as the terms of the disposition are within the statutory sanction scheme. In this case, no written justification for K.C.'s placement at the Wyoming Girls' School was necessary because placement at the Wyoming Girls' School is a disposition available at all sanction levels. [¶ 19] The juvenile court's consideration of K.C.'s statement to the MDT that she would not follow the rules at the Hemry Home did not violate K.C.'s right against self-incrimination pursuant to the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution. The statement was considered only in the dispositional phase of the delinquency proceedings. [¶ 20] Finally, there was no violation of W.R.Cr.P. 11 because the rule does not apply to juvenile delinquency proceedings. Finding no error as alleged by K.C. on appeal, the district court's placement of K.C. at the Wyoming Girls' School is affirmed.
