Florida Gov. Charlie Crist at a press confrence
Well it looks like legal analysts were wrong about this case. Many legal experts claimed that there was nothing a Florida judge could do to interevene. However, at her hearing yesterday, Bary was allowed to stay with her foster parents in Florida until her September 3rd hearing. Judge Dawson said that he believes his court has jurisdiction since no Ohio court has taken up jurisdiction. The Department of Children Services has requested an investigation because they do think that Bary's life would be in danger. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is opening an investigation. Bary's legal team said to the judge that her family wants her back "in the worst way" because it would be a great honor in taking her life. They said that she is certain to be dead if she returns. Bary has requested to visit with her younger brothers and the court is allowing that. However, she does not want to visit with her parents and the court the teen's foster parents are granting her wishes. At this time, they are not allowing visitation with the parents.
Florida Gov. Charlie Crist had this to say following the decision: "I am grateful to Circuit Judge Daniel Dawson for his decision to grant Fathima Rifqa Bary the right to remain in Florida. ... We will continue to fight to protect Rifqa's safety and wellbeing as we move forward." So, it was a good day for the Rifqa Bary team, and we will continue to watch this story unfold in the weeks to come.
