The opinion
ANSTEAD, Justice,
specially concurring.
Athough I agree with the result reached in the majority opinion, I would prefer a procedure whereby restitution would either be determined and ordered in the original imposition of sanctions, or the trial court could expressly reserve jurisdiction in the original judgment to impose restitution at a later time. We have simply failed, prior to this decision, to make the sixty-day period provided in the criminal rules applicable to juvenile proceedings.
