District Court of Appeal of Florida December 8, 1989, No. 89-00442 (B.R. v. Department of Health & Rehabilitative Services)

PATTERSON, Judge.

B.R. and W.C. appeal from a final order of the Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services (HRS) denying their requests for expungement from the state abuse registry. We reverse with instructions to expunge.

The legislature has recognized the increase in the incidence of child abuse and neglect that Florida has experienced over the last few years.
