" If the juvenile defendant is incarcerated in the department of juvenile corrections, you have the right to request that the juvenile defendant not send you, members of your family or members of your household mail. If the juvenile defendant sends you or your family members mail after you have made this request, you or the members of your family have the right to report the incident to the department of juvenile corrections for sanctions against the juvenile defendant."
B. On receipt of a postadjudication notification request form in which a request not to receive mail is indicated, the department of juvenile corrections shall notify the committed youth of the request and that sending mail to the victim, or the family or household members who are denoted by the victim, shall result in appropriate sanctions.
