Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.
The Circuit Court, in withholding adjudication of delinquency and placing this minor on probation after he admitted to breaking and entering with intent to commit petit larceny, assessed $100 in court costs against the minor and his parents in order, apparently, to impress upon them the seriousness of his misconduct. However well-motivated and effective that assessment may be, it was forbidden by the Legislature. Sec. 39.19, F.S.1973. Insofar as the order from which the appeal was taken assesses court costs, it is
Reversed.

The imposition of court fees against the department is prohibited by section 39.19, Florida Statutes (1981). See Division of Family Services, etc. v.

Here, the costs allowed against HRS were neither witness fees nor court fees. However, we note an apparent conflict with J.E.R. v.
