K.W., a juvenile, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 91-2451.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    June 23, 1992.
    K.W., a juvenile, in pro. per.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., for appellee.
    Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and JORGENSON and LEVY, JJ.
   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 statements were freely and voluntarily given.”

Affirmed.
