In the Interest of K.C. v. State, 257 P.3d 23

K.C., a juvenile, was adjudged delinquent for shoplifting and placed on three to six months supervised probation.
K.C. was allowed to live with her grandmother and required to attend school regularly with no unexcused absences and earn at least C grades.
K.C. violated probation terms by poor school attendance and grades; the State petitioned to revoke probation.
At the revocation hearing, K.C., then 16, admitted to failing in school and having unexcused absences.
The court expressed that placement at the Wyoming Girls' School was the likely disposition after considering MDT input and family views.
The juvenile court ultimately placed K.C. at the Wyoming Girls' School and set a four-month review.

Issue	Plaintiff's Argument	Defendant's Argument	Held
Whether the disposition violated statutory and case-law sanctions.	KC argues abuse of discretion for deviating from sanctions.	KC argues deviation lacked written justification; State contends placement is permissible.	No abuse; placement within allowable sanctions.
Whether due process was violated during the dispositional phase of probation revocation.	KC asserts self-incrimination and Rule 11 advisements were improper.	KC's statements were used for disposition, and Rule 11 does not apply to juvenile delinquency dispositional phase.	No due process violation; dispositional considerations valid and Rule 11 inapplicable.
