Joshua D. appeals from the juvenile court’s order declaring him a ward of the court after finding he had committed robbery. Joshua contends the admission of hearsay testimony was prejudicial error. We affirm.

FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND

1. The Petition Jaime Sanchez, a sidewalk ice cream vendor in Compton, was assaulted and robbed of ice cream by several youths. The district attorney filed Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 petitions against Joshua, Jasmine W. and A.W., alleging each of them had committed the second degree robbery of Sanchez in violation of Penal Code section 211. Jasmine admitted the allegation, and the juvenile court sustained her petition, declared her a ward of the court and ordered her home on probation. Thereafter, Joshua and A.W. were the subjects of a joint jurisdiction hearing.
