    Default Proving Unfit Parent

    My question involves child abuse or neglect in the State of: Florida

    Is this enough to prove unfit parent in the state of Florida?

    History of internet porn prior to pregnancy, committed crimes of burglary and dealing in stolen property during pregnancy, discharged from OB/GYN during pregnancy for failure to comply with dr. In regards to abusing unprescribed prescription drugs, caught by hospital staff during labor snorting pills in the bathroom, child born addicted to opiates, arrested on criminal charges when child was 2 weeks old and in the NICU withdrawling from drugs, she consented to grandparent having temporary custody while she was in jail for the first 5 months of the childs life, she received probation as a result of her criminal charges, since being released from jail she has moved 5 times in 4 months, she was arrested for violating her probation do to absconding and spent another month in jail, she refused a drug test with CPS, she tested positive for oxycodone at pain mangement before the ever gave her a prescription for the drug, no her probation doesn't know that, medical records that prove she told dr. She got the drugs from her friend, CPS and DCF won't due anything because grandparent has temp. Custody, she now wants to revoke the temporary custody from grandparent, grandparent has filed a private dependancy action. Child has now been with granparent for 16 months. She pled not guilty at dependancy arraignment and it is now scheduled for trial, is this enough to prove abuse/neglect/unfit parent?
