The department shall, within 24 hours after providing or arranging for emergency removal of the vulnerable adult, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays, petition the court for an order authorizing emergency protective services.
With the above stipulation, if they take her Thursday a.m. they have until Monday a.m. to file the petition.
They get Friday, Saturday and Sunday free.
Is Friday considered a legal holiday?
This may be why they are waiting. It's Thursday in FL right now (still Wednesday for me).
that should be time enough to get the investigation started and michael removed as guardian - PRAY
Good Friday is not a government holiday, but I don't know if it is a Florida State Holiday.
Then they should move NOW.
