Syllabus

Trial court did not err by adopting magistrate's decision denying motion to suppress because the juvenile voluntarily, knowingly, and intelligently waived his constitutional rights against self-incrimination and to counsel. Although the juvenile did not consult with a parent prior to waiving his rights, the totality of the circumstances demonstrated that the juvenile, who was 15 years old, understood his rights and did not expressly request to speak with one of his parents. Trial court did not err by adopting magistrate's decision adjudicating juvenile delinquent for having committed reckless homicide because the evidence was sufficient to establish that juvenile acted recklessly.
