21parent has no right to be represented by appointed counsel in a proceeding under this
22subsection.
AB378,183,1423 (c) The court assigned to exercise jurisdiction under chs. 48 and 938 may order
24that the child juvenile perform community service work for a public agency or
25nonprofit charitable organization that is designated by the court in lieu of making

1restitution or paying the forfeiture. If the parent agrees to perform community
2service work in lieu of making restitution or paying the forfeiture, the court may
3order that the parent perform community service work for a public agency or a
4nonprofit charitable organization that is designated by the court. Community
5service work may be in lieu of restitution only if also agreed to by the public agency
6or nonprofit charitable organization and by the person to whom restitution is owed.
