"Judge orders Fathima Rifqa Bary to return to Ohio," by Amy L. Edwards for the Orlando Sentinel, October 23 (thanks to Pamela, who has much more here):

"This order indicates that the Court has relinquished its emergency jurisdiction and orders the Department to arrange the transportation of the child to the proper authorities with Franklin County Children Services in Ohio," spokeswoman Carrie Hoeppner said.
"The Department will proceed with those arrangements. Please understand that the details of the transfer will not be released, to best ensure her safety."...
