B.F. v. Department of Children & Family Services
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided December 16, 2009 · Crenshaw, Morris, Whatley
22 So. 3d 863; 2009 Fla. App. LEXIS 19605 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

B.F. v. Department of Children & Family Services

Opinion of the Court

WHATLEY, Judge.

The Mother appeals the order terminating her rights to her daughter, D.H., based on section 39.806(l)(c), Florida Statutes (2008) (continuing involvement of parent threatens child irrespective of provision of services). The Department of Children and Family Services and the Guardian ad Litem concede that termination on this ground was not supported by clear and convincing evidence. Our review of the evidence presented at the termination hearing leads us to concur.

Accordingly, we reverse and remand for further proceedings.

CRENSHAW and MORRIS, JJ., Concur.
