her birthdate is July 18, 1980, and that her current address is 2525 68"1 Terrace, White Springs, FL

time with the child. The parties agreed to liave virtual visitation on Sundays, Tuesdays and

13. Counsel for tlie mother objected, as her client doesn't agree tliat tlie case shorild close
due to the l'iistory of issues between the parents. The motlier does not believe tl'ie visits will occur,
as there lias been constant friction between the parents. Counsel for the mother furtlier disagreed
tliat the case sliould close so soon after the staffing regarding visitation witliout sufficient time to
see if visits can work as discussed, and the motl'ier still lias over 4 montlis le'ft to comply with lier
case plan tasks.
14. The Guardian ad Litem suggested that the Corirt retain jurisdiction while terminating
protective supervision. The Depaitment agreed with the Guardian ad Litem. Counsel for tlie father
agreed with the Guardian ad Litem, as tlie mother has had 6 months since adjudication and
acceptance of the case plan to comply.
15. It is in the best interests of tl'ie child to remain out of the motlier's liome at this time.
The child is receiving safe and proper care. Tlie cl'iild's current placement is the least restrictive,
is appropriate, is in a setting that is as family-like and as close to the parents' home as possible, is
consistent with the child's best interest and special needs and is designed to maintain stability in
the child's educational placement. Contiruiation of the cliild in the motl'ier's home is contrary to
the welfare of the child because the liome situation presents a substantial and immediate danger to
tlie child whicli cannot be mitigated by the provision of the preventative services at this time.
