In May 1984, 16-year-old L.K.W. admitted to a misdemeanor violation of a shoplifting statute. During the adjudication stage, the juvenile court adjudicated L.K.W. as delinquent and moved to disposition. During the dispositional stage, the juvenile court placed L.K.W. in a private facility away from her family home. L.K.W. stayed in the private facility for 66 days until the court stayed the order. L.K.W. appealed the order.
