PER CURIAM.

We reverse the adjudication of delinquency upon a holding that the evidence presented at the hearing wholly failed to establish that the juvenile's behavior, which involved the mere use of constitutionally protected words, violated the disorderly conduct statute.

See § 877.03, Fla. Stat. (1983).
