A unanswered question: Can the DCF overrule Greer and conduct its investigation, or does Greer still have the final word? I fear it is the latter.
I honestly don't know but we should be finding out soon.
DCF can and should petition a higher court to take protective custody of Terri based on the incompetence of Greer.
This would mean that the might ask a higher court to consider Greer not following state law/statutes to allow
a social service agency to fulfull their UNIMPEDABLE duty
to investigate.
I know from some published info that DCF is already suspicious as Greer refused them the right to speak last time. If Greer rules against the 60-day stay request, they will probably get pissed and head immediately to the next step wondering the whole time WHY WHY WHY????
RE 3741----Greer can and does overrule the law BUT, that is their statutory mandate to conduct such an investigation and there is case law precedent at 2nd DCA that a judge cannot interfere in a legislative mandate---that's legislating from thebench again and violation of separation of powers doctrine---but then we all know that Greer thinks he's above the law
Of course they can overrule him; they have a legislative mandate to conduct an investigation and to take protective custody if warranted. They already told Greer that this is their mandate, period, regardless of what his findings and rulings have been to date. And they have refused to rule out protective custody. Felos has been hounding them to get them to say yes or no about protective custody, they refused to talk about it, and Felos is sweating bullets. It's in the Empire Journal and some Florida Media.
