Out-of-state placement.

Error to place M in IA facility where no evidence any CA placements were considered other than two local placements too close to the "negative influence" of his mother.

Given M's behavioral issues, substance abuse, and multiple AWOLs, no abuse of discretion to find an out-of-state facility would best serve his interests and the purposes of the juvenile court law.
