The girl, who cannot be named except for her initials, "L.G.," is in the custody of the DCF who claim that at thirteen she does not have the maturity to decide.

What is the "parental notification" posture of Florida? The DCF is effectively the parent, and it may be that the 13 year old is not obliged to inform the DCF.

It said in the article:

In 1989, the Florida Supreme Court struck down on privacy grounds, a statute that required parents to be informed when a minor wanted an abortion.
