Department of Children & Family Services v. T.R.906 So. 2d 335 (Fla. 4th DCA 2005) · 4D04-4620

Court
4th DCA
Decided
2005-07-06
On CourtListener
PER CURIAM.

The trial court ordered the Department of Children and Family Services to place T.R., who was just shy of her eighteenth birthday, “in the Subsidized Independent Living Program & the Road to Independence Scholarship Program.” However, the child did not qualify for the programs because she had refused to be placed in a foster home and only children who have been in foster care qualify for placement in the programs. See § 409.1451(4)(c)2.a. and (5)(b)2.a., Fla. Stat. Therefore, the *336court erred in ordering the Department to place the child in the programs.

Reversed.

WARNER, KLEIN and TAYLOR, JJ., concur.
