January 25, 1983.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Dade County, Ralph B. Ferguson, Jr., J.

Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender and Howard K. Blumberg, Asst. Public Defender, for appellant.

Jim Smith, Atty. Gen. and Penny H. Hershoff, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.

Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., BARKDULL, J., and KAPNER, LEWIS, Associate Judge.

PER CURIAM.

Flight alone is insufficient as a matter of law to sustain a finding of delinquency. State v. Young, 217 So.2d 567 (Fla. 1968); G.A.D. v. State, 340 So.2d 522 (Fla. 3d DCA 1976).

Therefore the adjudication under review is reversed with directions to discharge the respondent.

Reversed and remanded with directions.
