    Before RAMIREZ and EMAS, JJ., and SCHWARTZ, Senior Judge.
   ON CONFESSION OF ERROR

EMAS, J.

On confession of error by the Department of Children and Families, and our independent review, we agree that the Department failed to establish that continued visitation with the mother, N.M., would endanger the minor child. The petition for writ of certiorari is granted and this court quashes the lower court’s no-contact order dated January 26, 2012, and remands for the lower court to enter an appropriate visitation order.
