judge rebecca white allowed dcf to set rules and standards that violated constitutional rights of family members. She did not allow for the evidence to be presented before her (also violating the constitutional rights of the family) and sided with dcf who had NO EVIDENCE against the family. She clearly does NOT care about these poor children who come before her.
Judicial Temperament: All she cares about is backing DCF even when she has stated they are wrong
Communication: She lies, says this is not the legal way to go and still does it anyways.... she admits its legally wrong!
Timeliness: all court hearings are set out and set for dates that are not on the best interest of the family and that allow dcf to use this against the family trying to move forward
★☆☆☆☆Litigant
Legal Knowledge: Repeatedly demonstrated on the record a fundamental lack of knowledge regarding FL Chapter 39.522 and FL Rule 8.345
Fairness & Impartiality: As the record reflects, preferential deference was given to CLS without regard to legitimate objections and contravening evidence.
Judicial Temperament: As the record reflects , the court consistently took a subordinate role to the department's wishes and demands.
Communication: As the record reflects, the court withheld critical information regarding party status and statutory timeliness.

Juvenile dependency... DCF runs the courtroom. They give fraudulent documents. Doesn't care about children's best interests. Signs falsely stipulated Orders. Doesn't care about the fl statutes.
Legal Knowledge: Corruption Court...
Fairness & Impartiality: Only if your DCF, if your not you don't stand a chance.
Judicial Temperament: Bad actor and doesn't care she is running a circus.
Communication: Ex-parte is the only way
Timeliness: A hearing the statute said the Court MUST conduct in 90 days, conducted at 6 months
