K.W. v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided June 23, 1992 · Jorgenson, Levy, Schwartz
600 So. 2d 566; 1992 Fla. App. LEXIS 7244; 1992 WL 139016 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

K.W. v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The dispositive issue on this appeal is the admissibility of the juvenile’s confession. We agree with the trial judge’s conclusion, specifically distinguishing the case from B.S. v. State, 548 So.2d 838 (Fla. 3d DCA 1989), that “[i]n this case, the child is the one who initiate[d] the phone call to the police office.... [Ujnder the totality of the surrounding circumstances ... the *567statements were freely and voluntarily given.”

Affirmed.
