AT THE TIME OF THE JUVENILE’S ADMISSION TO POSSESSION OF STOLEN PROPERTY THE JUDGE DID NOT INFORM HIM OR HIS MOTHER OF THE EXACT NATURE OF HIS “PLACEMENT OUTSIDE THE HOME OR ITS POSSIBLE DURATION” AS REQUIRED BY FAMILY COURT ACT SECTION 3213(1); ORDER REVERSED (THIRD DEPT).

The Third Department, reversing the juvenile’s admission in this juvenile delinquency proceeding, determined the juvenile and his mother were not adequately informed of the consequences of the admission to possession of stolen property:

… [T]he allocution in which respondent admitted to [possession of stolen property] was fatally defective because Family Court … failed to comply with the requirements of Family Ct Act § 321.3 (1). At the time of his admission, Family Court commented on some possible dispositions including being “placed outside of [his] home . . . for a period of time.” Neither respondent nor his mother were informed of “the exact nature of his placement outside of the home or its possible duration” … . “Inasmuch as the provisions of Family Ct Act § 321.3 (1) are mandatory and cannot be waived, the order must be reversed” … . Matter of Tashawn MM., 2023 NY Slip Op 03745, Third Dept 7-6-23

Practice Point: At the time of a juvenile’s admission in a juvenile delinquency proceeding, the juvenile must be informed of the exact nature of any “placement outside of the home and its possible duration.” The failure to so inform the juvenile requires reversal of the placement order.
