Department of Children & Families v. L. S., 781 So. 2d 543 (Fla. 1st DCA 2001) Circuit court did not have authority in dependency action to require Department of Children and Family Services (DCF) to place child in specific facility
M. W. v. Davis, 756 So.2d 90 (Fla. 2000)
Placement in facility prior to evidentiary hearing did not violate due process, and (2) Baker Act hearing, of kind conducted prior to involuntary commitment, was not required before Department could place child in facility.
In re J.W., 890 So.2d 337 (Fla. 2nd DCA 2004).
Proper standard of proof for involuntary commitment of a dependent child to a residential treatment center is clear and convincing.
