Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
My daughter is involved in a case with DCF, whom she reported an abuse to. The state is now turning on my daughter with false assumptions, grasping at straws to charge her with Failure to Protect her Child. I am the mother and maternal grandmother yet no one will address my concerns or even address me at all. My question is: Is it permissible for me to write a letter to the judge to voice my silenced concerns and dismay of the direction this has taken? Am I allowed and is it a good or bad idea?

You can write a letter and request to testify at any trial but:
1. DCF doesn't care as they have Gestapo powers and run their own court.
2. There are no grandparents rights in Florida. Legislature has passed several statutes but all were invalidated by the US Supreme Court.
