The judge signed the order sealing the report for at least ten days until lawyers for 17-year-old Rifqa Bary, her parents and child welfare officials can read it. The hearing was to determine whether the teen should return to Ohio or stay in Florida.

Minutes into the proceeding, the judge sealed the report, which looked into whether Bary would be in danger if she returned to her parents in central Ohio.

The judge said only the parties involved could be privileged to the information. The lawyer for Bary's mother blurted out some of the findings, 10TV's Kurt Ludlow reported.

"And then we have, now we're put in a position where we have a very favorable report from FDLE, which indicates there's absolutely no evidence out there whatsoever to corroborate these accusations," the lawyer said in court.

"I'm going to object, your honor, and ask that he be struck from this proceeding," Bary's guardian ad litem responded. "This court has a temporary order in place that absolutely nothing contained in that report can be released to anyone and he just did it in open court. "

The outburst left Bary visibly shaken and she wiped tears from her face, Ludlow reported.

The judge also ruled the lawyers are not permitted to talk about specifics in the case after Bary's guardian ad litem said both sides were taking swings at each other on television.
 
"When I have a weekend where I get five phone calls in one day from a child trying to get ahold of me because they are so distraught over the multiple things that have been portrayed in the media that day and they're still distraught when they finally manage to get ahold of me at the end of the day, I have serious concerns," the guardian at litem said.

The teenager ran away to Florida in July, saying she feared being killed for changing religions.

The judge said two weeks ago that he would postpone deciding whether Bary should return to Ohio until after the investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement was completed.

Bary will remain in foster care, continue with home schooling and go to counseling until the next hearing.

During Thursday's proceeding, Bary's parents officially denied the accusations against them. The judge ordered all parties to try to meet for mediation during the next month.
