Syllabus

Disposition of Delinquent Child. Under R.C. 2152.19(A), a juvenile court shall not place a child adjudicated a delinquent in a state correctional institution or in any facility in which an adult convicted of a crime, under arrest, or charged with a crime is being held. Because the juvenile court adjudicated D.P. a delinquent, who was 17 years old at the time of the charged offenses, it was not permissible to commit him to an adult correctional facility.
