Description
[28 N.Y.2d 589 Page 590] Although the facts set forth in the petition might have spelled out the crime of assault -- if committed by an adult --
and, accordingly, might have supported a charge of juvenile delinquency against the 11-year-old respondent (Family Court Act,
712, subd. [a]), the fact is that no such charge is alleged. Indeed, the petition expressly charges the respondent with
only a violation of harassment under section 240.25 of the Penal Law, and such a charge may not be the predicate for a juvenile
delinquency proceeding.
