The victim of any delinquent act, or a relative of the victim, if the victim has died, has the right to attend all dispositional, review, and restitution proceedings resulting from the adjudication of such act. The victim or the victim's relative has the right to appear at the proceedings personally or with counsel and to adequately and reasonably express the victim's views concerning the act, the juvenile, the need for restitution, and the type of dispositional orders that the court should issue. When issuing such orders, the court shall consider the statements made by the victim, or the victim's relative, and shall make a finding, on the record, when appropriate, as to whether the juvenile would pose a threat to public safety if granted probation.
