THIS CAUSE came before the Court upon the Report and Recommendation of the
General Magistrate after a JUDICIAL REVIEW hearing on April 23, 2018, upon the Mother's
Motion for Change of Custody. The Court being otherwise fully advised of the premises, the Court
finds as follows:
1. The General Magistrate, having considered the allegations of the motion and having heard
testimony and argument and being otherwise fully advised in the premises EINDS and
recommends that:
2. The parties do object to the motion for change of custody.
3. It is in the best interest of the child(ren), that custody be changed from the State (Eoster Care),
to Mother Charisse D. Stinson on or before twenty days from the date of the order. It is not
detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of the child(ren) that the change of custody occurs.
The circumstances that caused the out-of-home placement have been remedied to the extent that
the return of the child to the mother’s care with an in-home safety plan prepared and/or approved
by DCE will not be detrimental to the child’s safety, well-being, and physical, mental and
emotional health. Because conditions for return of the child to the mother’s home have been met,
DCE shall prepare and approve an in-home safety plan that will allow the child to return to the
home of the mother safely, pursuant to section 39.521(l)(f), Elorida Statutes.
4. The above named custodian(s) shall have the right to authorize for the child(ren) any emergency
medical treatment and any ordinary and necessary medical and dental examinations and

medications.

EINDINGS OE EACT
On or about March 7, 2018, a court order entered requiring the following:
a status check hearing shall be set to address unsupervised visits, overnight visits and the progress
of reunification.
At the hearing held on April 23, 2018:
Judge Todd held a hearing on this matter on April 19, 2018. That order is pending.
The mother has had unsupervised visitation since February 2018. No party reported any
problems with the mother’s unsupervised visitation.
DCF completed a home-study on the mother’s residence. The residence was approved, but the
mother was required to call regarding a flag on the mother’s background checks. The mother
credibly testified that the inquiry was about a criminal charge from her youth, when she was 12 years

Pg.3
1600640DP/1A^O
old. She stated it was for fighting. Such a charge should not disqualify the mother for reunification
and if that is the only flag on her background screens, the home-study is approved.
The GAL objected to reunification and argued there is no documentation regarding the mother’s
counseling. At the judicial review hearing held 1/8/18, the mother testified that she had been in
counseling since November 2017. DCF was ordered to secure the records. DCF and GAL did not
obtain the records for the mother’s individual counseling. The GAL argued that it had only been
appointed since January 2018. The GAL’s objection is overruled. No evidence was presented to
show that the circumstances that caused the out-of-home placement have not been remedied to the
extent that the return of the child to the mother’s care with an in-home safety plan prepared and/or
approved by DCF will not be detrimental to the child’s safety, well-being, and physical, mental and
emotional health.
Because conditions for return of the child to the mother’s home have been met, DCF shall prepare
and approve an in-home safety plan that will allow the child to return to the home of the mother
safely, pursuant to section 39.521(l)(f), Florida Statutes.
The mother shall start overnight visitation within 10 days of the signed order, and shall be
reunified within 20 days of the signed order unless a party petitions otherwise.
DCF and GAL shall have joint discretion to permit the parents to visit together. DCF shall keep the
staffing set for May 2, 2018 to address reunification with the father and what DCF expects from the
parents to permit them to reside together with the child.
RECOMMENDATIONS OF MAGISTRATE
1. The mother shall start overnight visitation within 10 days of the signed order, and shall be
reunified within 20 days of the signed order unless a party petitions otherwise.
2. DCF and GAL shall have joint discretion to permit the parents to visit together. DCF shall
keep the staffing set for May 2, 2018 to address reunification with the father and what DCF
expects from the parents to permit them to reside together with the child.
This matter is scheduled for the NEXT JUDICIAL REVIEW on June 11, 2018 at 2:00 p.m.
This matter is scheduled for the STATUS CHECK on at 1:00 p.m. to address
. The hearing shall only be canceled if all parties agree.
