Ordered that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
We disagree with the appellant's contention that his placement should have been less restrictive. The Family Court has broad discretion in entering dispositional orders ( see Matter of Neville G. 293 AD2d. 471 [2002]; Matter of Naiquan T., 265 AD2d 331, 332; see also Family Ct Act § 141). The Family Court's determination reflected careful consideration of the less restrictive alternatives to the appellant's placement and properly balanced the needs of the juvenile and the need for the protection of the community ( see Family Ct Act § 352.2).
