James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, and A. Victoria Wiggins, Assistant Public Defender, Bartow, for Appellant. Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Sonya Roebuck Horbelt, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellee.

See A.C. v. State, 688 So.2d 1004 (Fla. 2d DCA 1997).

Affirmed but remanded for modification.
