ROBERTA. CHAISSON, Judge.

|aThe instant consolidated appeals stem from four separate juvenile proceedings involving M.B. On appeal, M.B. challenges the validity of his admissions to three delinquency petitions and one family in need of services petition, alleging that his admissions were not freely and voluntarily given. For the reasons set forth herein, we find that the juvenile’s admissions to the petitions are constitutionally infirm and accordingly must be vacated.
