Please keep the heat on. Here's the latest missive from Christ's office.Thank you for contacting Governor Charlie Crist
Thank you for contacting Governor Charlie Crist and sharing your
concerns about Ms. Fathima (Rifqa) Bary. The Governor asked that I
respond on his behalf.
Ms. Bary is safe and comfortable, currently living in a foster home.
Her case is proceeding through the juvenile court system. Ms. Bary's
court-appointed representative, known as a Guardian Ad Litem, has filed
a Petition for Dependency, seeking to have Ms. Bary declared a ward of
the State of Florida. Legal counsel from the Florida Department of
Children and Families is present at every proceeding to protect the best
interests of the child, and Governor Crist's General Counsel is closely
monitoring the case.
At the most recent hearing, Judge Daniel Dawson ordered Ms. Bary and her
parents to participate in mediation in hopes of reaching some
understanding and agreement about this difficult situation. The
mediation is scheduled for early October. Ms. Bary's parents have filed
legal documents seeking to dismiss the Florida case and have proceedings
moved to a court in Ohio. The motion is pending and the trial court has
not made a decision.
Please be assured that Governor Crist and the Florida Department of
Children and Families will take an active role to protect the best
interests of Ms. Bary.
Thank you again for taking the time to contact Governor Crist.
Sincerely,
Warren Davis
