April 13, 2005.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit, Martin County; John E. Fennelly, Judge; L.T. Case No. 03-329 CJMB.

Carey Haughwout, Public Defender, and Dea Abramschmitt, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Charles J. Crist, Jr., Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Joseph A. Tringali, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

J.B. appeals a restitution order requiring his parents to pay $6,502 for damage caused by his criminal mischief. We agree that the order must be reversed because his parents were not given notice and the court did not make findings required by section 985.231, Florida Statutes (2003). See Fisher v. State, 840 So.2d 325 (Fla. 5th DCA 2003). We reverse and remand for another hearing.

KLEIN, SHAHOOD and TAYLOR, JJ., concur.
