IN RE J.A.

No. 2D04-463.

885 So.2d 960 (2004)

In the Interest of J.A. and A.A., Children. H.P., Appellant, v. Department of Children and Family Services, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

October 29, 2004.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Patrick R. Cunningham, Bradenton, for Appellant.

Charles J. Crist, Jr., Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Christopher Perone, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellee.


VILLANTI, Judge.

H.P., the mother of J.A. and A.A., challenges an order terminating her parental rights as to these two children. The sole issue on appeal is whether the circuit court's order terminating H.P.'s parental rights, when the children remain in an indefinite state of dependency while their father works towards reunification with them, is the least restrictive means to ensuring the children's safety. We determine that it is not and therefore reverse.
