In the Interest of D.A.M., et al., minor children, Appellants,

SUAREZ, C.J.

Health Rights Clinic, University of Miami School of Law, and JoNel Newman and Melissa Swain; Devon Frampton and Andrew Sarangoulis, Legal Interns, for appellants.

Karla Perkins, for appellee; Children's Legal Services and Stephanie C. Zimmerman, Bradenton, for Department of Children and Families.

Opinion

SUAREZ, C.J.

D.A.M.(1) and D.A.M.(2), his younger brother (the “children”), appeal the trial court's denial of their private petition seeking an adjudication of dependency.

The children are currently 16 and 14 years old respectively. Thus, this case is distinguishable from O.I.C.L. v. Department of Children & Families, 169 So.3d 1244 (Fla. 4th DCA 2015) which concluded that private petitions similar to those here “routinely share the following elements; the child is about to turn eighteen years old.”
--------

We are bound to follow In re B.Y.G.M., 176 So.3d 290, (Fla. 3d DCA July 15, 2015), and In re K.B.L.V., 176 So.3d 297, (Fla. 3d DCA July 15, 2015) and, therefore, affirm.
