Description
Four juveniles, facing delinquency charges and found by the circuit court to be incompetent to proceed, were committed to the custody of the Department of Children and Family Services (DCF) for placement in a secure residential treatment program pursuant to section 985.223, Florida Statutes (2001). Frustrated that the children remained for weeks in the county detention facility and had not been placed by DCF in an appropriate facility for treatment, counsel for the children moved the circuit court to compel their placement. The circuit court responded by ordering DCF to place the children within seventy-two hours or to show cause why DCF should not be held in contempt of court. DCF immediately filed a petition in this court to review the circuit court order. This court has certiorari jurisdiction. See Dept of Children & Families v. Morrison, 727 So. 2d 404, 405 (Fla. 3d DCA 1999). By unpublished order we granted the petition and quashed the trial court order.
