Description
On April 28, 2003, K.M., a fifteen-year-old girl, was charged with juvenile delinquency. The petition for delinquency alleged that K.M. unlawfully and feloniously had actual or constructive possession of cocaine. On October 22, 2003, a hearing was held. At the conclusion of that hearing, the trial court found K.M. guilty. On November 24, 2003, a second hearing was held to determine what placement and restrictiveness was necessary. The Florida Department of Juvenile Justice Pre-disposition Report indicated that the Department of Children and Families had permanent custody of K.M. and that she had run away from her foster home prior to detention. The report indicated that K.M. runs away because she does not like the foster parents. The report showed thirteen arrests, the latest of which arose from an incident that occurred on July 24, 2001. The Department of Juvenile Justice (the department) recommended that K.M. be placed in a moderate-risk environment. The judge stated his belief that K.M. needed very high supervision in a structured residential setting that provides twenty-four hour secure custody care and supervision. The court proceeded to order a high-risk residential placement for K.M. and entered an order indicating the reasons it was departing from the departments recommendations. Significant among those reasons was that K.M. was a risk to public safety because she was involved with street level drug sales. On January 21, 2004, K.M. moved to correct the disposition so as to place her in moderate-risk placement. Following the denial of that motion, K.M. filed this appeal.
