C. The parent must have failed to D. The child must have been placed in the
substantially comply with the case plan for same foster home for at least 6 months.
at least 12 months.
Correct: B - The court must find that termination is in the manifest best interests of the
child by clear and convincing evidence.
Rationale:Under Florida law, termination of parental rights requires proof by clear and
convincing evidence that it is in the manifest best interests of the child. While a 12-month
failure to comply is a ground, the overarching standard is the best interest finding. The
15-of-22-month rule applies to filing a petition, not a prerequisite for termination.
Why the other answers are wrong:
A. This is a federal Adoption and Safe Families Act timeline for filing a termination petition, not
a Florida requirement for the termination decision.
C. Twelve months of noncompliance is a statutory ground, but the court must still make a
separate best-interest determination.
D. Placement duration does not independently satisfy the legal standard for termination.
Reference: Florida Statutes Chapter 39.806, 39.810

appropriate for assessing the risk of future maltreatment when a child is remaining in the
home?

C. Family Functioning Assessment D. Trauma Screening
Correct: B - Risk Assessment
Rationale:The SDM Risk Assessment is designed to estimate the likelihood of future
maltreatment, guiding the level of intervention when a child remains in the home. The Safety

screening provide contextual information but do not predict recurrence.

, Section A - Child Welfare System AND Legal Framework

A. Reunification is a priority but must be balanced with timely permanency; ASFA sets time
limits.
C. Maintaining a non-permanent placement contradicts the permanency planning principle.
D. Deferring decisions for assessment conflicts with the requirement for timely permanency
hearings.
