Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
an obsessed foster mother
I just simply want to know what my options would be for reporting a foster mother for harrassment to a foster care agency or a small claims case. My daughter was in the care of a foster family and the foster mother with intent in adopting my daugher with the expectations in my failure in a case plan has violated my rights and harrassed me by recording conversations between the two of us without my knowledge or conscent. Has followed me during a court ordered visitation with my daughter and took pictures of us and my home. Has verbally assultet my husband in public in a Department for Children and Families office. With a case that was closed, placing the child in my home in April of this year. The foster mother calls me and has left a message asking about my family. Including my 13 year old son and my two 2 year old children. Has contacted case worker asking if she could still see the child.

You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.
Go ahead and file a complaint although the State may not take any action. If the harrassment becomes severe, you can file a complaint with the local police and/or consider filing for a restraining order. It sounds as if person may be stalking your family which can be a criminal violation in Florida.
