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, Family Ct Act § 141). Here, the Family Court carefully considered the least restrictive alternatives to the appellant's placement, consistent with the best interests of the juvenile and the need for protection of the community (see, Family Ct Act § 352.2; Matter of Katherine W., 62 N.Y.2d 947; Matter of Jason W., 207 A.D.2d 495). Accordingly, it cannot be said that the Family Court improvidently exercised its discretion in placing the appellant with the Division for Youth (see, Matter of Jamil W., 184 A.D.2d 513).
