857 So.2d 1000 (2003)

N.S., Parent of M.M., I.S., N.S., Etc., et al., Appellant, v. DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.

October 31, 2003.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Rebecca L. O'Neill, of Jonathan P. Culver, P.A., for Appellant, N.S.

Douglas L. Kirkland, Ocala, for Appellant, K.S.

Ralph J. McMurphy, Department of Children and Families, Wildwood, for Appellee.


THOMPSON, J.

N.S., the father, and K.S. ("the mother") appeal the order adjudicating their children, I.S., N.J.S., and A.S. (collectively "the younger children"), dependent and granting the maternal grandparents "party" status. Separately, N.S. contends that the trial court erred when it ordered him to complete a batterer's intervention program. We reverse the part of the order adjudicating the younger children dependent, but affirm in all other respects.
