Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
CONCESSION OF ERROR
Upon the DCF's appropriate concession of error in the trial court's sua sponte order placing the minor child, R.O., in shelter care without proper notice to the petitioner mother, contrary to both the due process requirements of § 39.402(8)(b)(c) Fla. Stat. (2010) and a specific previous order which denied that relief, the order under review is quashed and the child is ordered returned to the mother's custody forthwith.
Certiorari granted.
