This is what they're SUPPOSED to do...

State of Florida Fifth Judicial Circuit Guardian Ad Litem Program http://www.guardianadlitem.org/about.htm#Mission

Information Gatherer
The GAL's "investigative" function is more properly described as independent fact finder, information gatherer, or observer. The GAL can be expected to gather information about the child's current situation (as opposed to the allegations in the petition) by interviewing the child, parents, relatives and/or friends, school personnel, and professionals with whom the child has contact. The Guardian Ad Litem can gather reports and written records pertaining to the child and his family. It also may be useful for the GAL to observe the child's interactions with the significant others in his life and report those observations to the court. Finally the GAL can provide invaluable information about the past responses of both the child welfare system and the court system with regards to the needs of the child.

I think the order said he was to report to Jeb.

I don't know if it makes a difference or not, but I think Greer in the sixth judicial circuit.
