...sentenced. He then filed a 3.850 motion to vacate that second judgment and sentence, alleging that his parents were not notified of the second arraignment, plea, judgment, and sentence. The court found that the purpose of § 932.-38, Fla.Stat. (now § 925.07, Fla.Stat.), is to “furnish a safeguard to unmarried minors accused of crime in order that such minor’s parents may have the opportunity to come to the assistance of the accused minor.” The court in Falagon held that after notice is p...
...The court found the beneficial purpose of the statute had been satisfied since the parents had been notified of the charges and had had ample opportunity to exercise the safeguards the statute encourages. Likewise, in the instant case, we find that the beneficial purpose of § 925.07 was satisfied since the record shows appellant’s uncle, Willie Hamilton, possessed actual notice of the charges against appellant....
