In re Paige J.
The court found that 15-year-old appellant, Paige J., was a person described in Welfare and Institutions Code section 602[1] after appellant admitted allegations charging her with felony vehicular manslaughter (count 1/Pen. Code, § 192, subd. (c)(1)), felony vehicle theft (count 2/Veh. Code, § 10851, subd. (a)), driving without a license (count 7/Veh. Code, § 12500, subd. (a)), violating a previous grant of probation (count 8.041/102Welf. & Inst. Code, § 777), and four counts of misdemeanor unlawfully driving a vehicle causing injury (counts 3, 4, 5 & 6/Veh. Code, § 23104, subd. (a)).
On June 28, 2011, the court ordered appellant placed at the Forrest Ridge Youth and Family Services (Forrest Ridge) facility in Iowa.
On appeal, appellant contends the court exceeded its jurisdiction in placing her in an out-of-state group home because it did not comply with certain statutory requirements. We affirm.
