PER CURIAM.
Because of the factual circumstances presented here we hesitate to affirm the order of the trial court discharging appellee, L.B.F., a child, for want of speedy trial, however, the rule is explicit in its terms, applies to all equally, and to be effective must be enforced. Therefore, we affirm.
AFFIRMED.
