J.F. a Child

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We reverse appellant’s adjudication and disposition. The case against him was based entirely on circumstantial evidence. State v. Law, 559 So.2d 187, 188 (Fla. 1989). The state failed to exclude all reasonable hypothesis of innocence. Id. The trial judge should have granted appellant’s motion for a judgment of acquittal. We re*270mand with directions to discharge appellant.

REVERSED AND REMANDED WITH DIRECTIONS.

DOWNEY, POLEN and GARRETT, JJ., concur.
