Korvary Rojas, of Fort Lauderdale, said he is also protesting against the Department of Children and Families at the Viera courthouse and added he is hoping to regain custody of his two daughters, ages 2 and 3, in a pending family court review.
Rojas has been at the courthouse since Tuesday, but was asked by Brevard County sheriff's deputies on Thursday to leave the courthouse premises after a call to a helpline raised concerns about his wellbeing. Several deputies turned up within minutes of the call and surrounded him in front of the courthouse. No arrest was made.
“They told me to go home, that I can't be standing there. These are my babies,” he said, “free my babies. I don’t know what else to do,” the handyman told FLORIDA TODAY.
The Department of Children and Families removed the two children from Rojas’ home in June 2015. A June 3 hearing was held at the Moore Justice Center in Viera for Rojas to present his case.
“The court heard testimony from the father in regards to a home study managed in Fort Lauderdale,” said David Ocasio of DCF in a written statement to FLORIDA TODAY.
“It was deemed that there were still concerns regarding the dad's ability to properly care for the children. A judgement has not been made on whether or not to overrule the home study.”
Rojas said one deputy prayed for him. Others asked why he was there. He was also joined by another fathers' rights advocate, David Henry, on Thursday. "I've been out here night and day," he said. "But I've been suffering like a dog for a year since they took my children. I thought I was supposed to come back here to pick up my babies but nothing happened," he said, adding that he questions the care the two are receiving in DCF custody.
"I just want my babies."

Wow so they don't know if he can care for his children? Wow. I'm shocked of our judgment on people these days. What more love can a father do than to stand up and hold a sign to free his children. I do believe the 14 ammendment is being violated. These children is his. No one regards our rights to families anymore. I believe it's time we start standing up for our rights as a nation. People need to sue the government if they aren't going to hold up our rights to families properties or whatever is legally yours. May God help us all we can lose our families as easy as this? Wow shameful America
