In The Court of Appeals
In the Interest of Joshua R. C., a Juvenile under the Age
of Seventeen, Appellant.
Appellate Case No. 2012-212243
Appeal From Aiken County
Dale Moore Gable, Family Court Judge
Unpublished Opinion No. 2013-UP-253
Submitted April 1, 2013 – Filed June 19, 2013
AFFIRMED
Appellate Defender Robert M. Pachak, of Columbia, for
Appellant.
Attorney General Alan McCrory Wilson and Assistant
Attorney General Julie Kate Keeney, both of Columbia,
for Respondent.
PER CURIAM: This is an appeal of the family court's order finding Appellant in
contempt for violating a school attendance order and placing him on probation for
twelve months. Appellant argues there was insufficient evidence to show he
violated the school attendance order. Because Appellant admitted to violating the
order during the rule to show cause hearing, we affirm pursuant to Rule 220(b),
SCACR, and the following authorities: In re Timothy C.M., 348 S.C. 653, 656, 560
S.E.2d 452, 454 (Ct. App. 2002) ("The family court has the inherent power to
punish for contempt of its orders."); Miller v. Miller, 375 S.C. 443, 457, 652
S.E.2d 754, 761 (Ct. App. 2007) ("In a criminal contempt proceeding, the burden
of proof is beyond a reasonable doubt."); State v. Benton, 338 S.C. 151, 156-57,
526 S.E.2d 228, 231 (2000) (holding issue not preserved for appellate review
where the appellant conceded the issue at the trial court).
AFFIRMED.1
SHORT, THOMAS, and PIEPER, JJ., concur.

We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
