More families accuse DCF of keeping relatives from getting custody of young family members

Summary: Several families, including the Houstons, claim Florida's child welfare system unjustly separated them from their biological relatives in favor of foster parents, even when they were deemed suitable for custody. The Houstons, who have been fighting for custody of their grandchildren since 2018, allege manipulation and bias within the system. Despite passing home studies, their request for custody was denied, raising concerns about the fairness and transparency of the

state's foster care practices.
