Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.
D., the natural child of Ronald Fetters, appellant, was adjudicated to be dependent almost entirely because the father had physically abused a step-child, T. The father has emotional and psychological problems but there was no evidence that he abused his natural child, D. We have examined the facts and circumstances in this case and find them legally insufficient to support a determination of dependency and the placing of the child’s custody with HRS.
The order adjudicating dependency and disposition as to the natural child, D., is, accordingly,
REVERSED.
DAUKSCH, W. SHARP, and COWART, JJ., concur.
