Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

We have a 17-year-old daughter who secretly has been planning with a "boy" in another state to leave our home when she is 18. Their "relationship" involved a good deal of online sex (video). To get dad out of the way, she made a claim of sexual abuse, which got her out of the house and into foster care. The charges are false and fallen flat. However, in the meantime, we are looking at options to protect our daughter, who we believe is dealing with some mental health issues (which likely were passed along from her mother who is mildly schizophrenic). What we'd like to do is have a no-contact order issued in the jurisdiction local to the "boy". We feel as parents of a minor who we know has been sending and receiving graphic sexual images (child porn, really), that we have a right to protect her, especially in light of our concerns over her mental health. Legally, we cannot do anything to or about our daughter until she is released from foster care, which won't happen until she's 18. Are we off-base here? Any other issues we're not seeing?
FYI, we are in Florida and the perpetrator is in Minnesota. Also, what kind of costs should we expect for a decent attorney and court fees? We have already been drained fighting our daughter's flimsy allegations.

Hello. Not sure how to provide answer...Is there a criminal case or dependency case? Have you told police he is sending porn?

Let me know if my office can be of any assistance. Tom Rosenblum
