In re D.C.
D.C. (the minor) appeals from an order declaring him a ward of the court and ordering him home on probation after finding he had made a criminal threat. The minor contends the juvenile court failed to exercise its discretion, as required by Welfare and Institutions Code section 702,[1]to determine whether the adjudicated allegation was a felony or misdemeanor, requiring remand for the juvenile court to make that determination. The minor further contends that because the offense was not declared a felony, he should not have been ordered to provide a DNA sample.
