In re Bryan A.
Bryan A., a minor, appeals from the order declaring him a ward of the court pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 by reason of his having committed battery (Pen. Code, § 243, subd. (a)). The trial court committed him to a residential facility, with a maximum term of confinement of six months.
The matter arose from the following facts. On November 11, 2009, appellant’s mother, G.A., asked him to do his laundry. Two hours later when G.A. did not see the laundry done she asked again. Appellant had hidden his dirty laundry behind the bathroom sink but pretended to look for it in the kitchen. An argument ensued and appellant got up close to G.A. and intimidated her. G.A. raised a plastic sandal above her head “to stop him because he was starting to become violent.†Appellant picked up a folding chair and pushed G.A. with the chair. G.A. suffered a broken nail and her hand was hurt as a result of appellant’s actions.
