DAUKSCH, Judge.

This is an appeal from a sentence in an aggravated child-abuse case. The sentencing judge departed downwards from the recommended guideline sentence without giving written reasons. We vacate the sentence and remand for resentencing because the judge must give written reasons for a departure from the guidelines. Fla. R.Crim.P. 3.701(d)(11). See also State v. Jackson, 478 So.2d 1054 (Fla. 1985).
