IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL FIRST DISTRICT, STATE OF FLORIDA K.W. and M.W., Mother and Father of M.W., et al, NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED Appellant, v. CASE NO. 1D04-4144 DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES, Appellee. _____________________________/ Opinion filed May 23, 2005. An appeal from an order of the Circuit Court for Duval County. W. Gregg McCaulie, Judge. Patricia L. Parker, Jacksonville, for Appellant. Donna Houghton Thames, Assistant General Counsel, Department of Children and Families, Jacksonville, for Appellee. PER CURIAM. We are constrained to affirm the order of dependency issued by the trial court because the order is supported by competent substantial evidence of record. We acknowledge that, at the time of the incidents complained of, appellants K.W. and M.W. were functioning as the married mother and father of an intact family. We also acknowledge that the injuries to the children were not particularly serious. Nevertheless, the trial court found facts, partially based upon expert testimony, that support the order of dependency in this case. AFFIRMED. KAHN, VAN NORTWICK, and HAWKES, JJ., CONCUR. 2
