The Juvenile Courts of Evans and Tattnall Counties adjudicated E. J., a fourteen-year-old female, delinquent for acts which, if committed by an adult, would constitute the crimes of burglary, theft by taking-vehicle three acts, and obstruction of an officer. Following the dispositional hearing, E. J. was sentenced pursuant to OCGA § 15-11-63, which classifies certain offenses as “designated felony” acts.1 E.J. appeals,2 challenging the sufficiency of the evidence, the voluntariness of her statements, and her restrictive custody pursuant to OCGA § 15-11-63. Finding no error, we affirm. 1. We consider first E. J.’s second, fourth, fifth, and sixth enumerations, which challenge the sufficiency of the evidence.

In reviewing E. J.’s challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence, “we construe the evidence and all inferences drawn therefrom in favor of the juvenile court’s decision to determine if a rational trier of fact could have found, beyond a reasonable doubt, that E. J. committed the acts charged.” In the Interest of A. A. , 253 Ga. App. 858, 859 1 560 SE2d 763 2002.
