There is usually a very good reason for kids to reject a parent and the custodial parent isn't nearly as powerful as the non custodial parent thinks s/he is at turning the kids away.

This decision is clearly insane. I can see court ordered family therapy sessions involving the dad, but nothing more.

in family court, she's clearly bringing too much of her own baggage into court.

Brainwashed, my flabby old ass. Kids don't tend to lie about stuff like this and Mama's coaching goes only so far if they love their Dad.

Who haven't committed any crimes. Yet she compared the older one to Charlie Manson's cult. And the younger ones are only 10 and 9 years old.
Makes me sick.

Utterly alarming the way she is treating the minor children. She's punishing them, not looking out for their best interests.

15 year old already knows what he wants, and the other two are 9 and 10, so sending them in jail (which is what she calls the facility) is ridiculous.

And the law?

What a destructive thing to do to three kids. It's like blaming them for the parent's messy divorce, or at least taking it out on them.

The woman keeps referring the the 15-year old as "a defiant child" and won't let the mother say goodbye to him before they march him off to the "Children's Village" (freaking Orweliian that).

her father.

“God gave you a brain. He expects you to use it. You are not your big, defiant brother who’s living in jail. Do you want to live in jail?”

This woman is freaking sick.

because he's old enough to have a say in visitation schedules. Instead, this judge sends him to a state youth facility (or as the judge refers to it, 'jail) because he won't comply with her order to develop "a healthy relationship" with his father. Sure, that's gonna work out.

Then the judge had the middle child agreeing to meet with his father and try, but after the youngest child refused the middle one changed his mind because he wanted to go with his brother.

Neither parent wanted their children in state care. After reading the hearing transcript ( "You're not your big, defiant brother who's living in jail. Do you want to live in jail?&quot I hope that the judge is censured.

Does she really think she can force someone to have a healthy relationship?
Now the children are locked up in what judge called a "jail" and father went off to Israel for work.

especially when a teen is involved.

true emotion.

I wonder if there was some worry that Dad would take the kids to Israel when he went. I once worked on a case where the mother was worried about that.

I and my ex lived in different states. One of my greatest fears was that he would take them across the state line and I would lose custody. Fortunately for me my kids hardly knew their Dad who visited them once a year for two days so they never wanted to go with him to stay. He called welfare on me but the lady was smart enough to talk to the girls - not me.

In this case it wasn't to long ago that the judge would have asked the kids who they wanted to live with and not interfere with their wishes. I hope someone in Detroit looks into this. For one thing they are paying for jail time for three children Who have a perfectly good home with their mother. Unheard of.

I also wonder if Children's Village is privately run and if there are kickbacks to judges for filling beds. This happened in Pennsylvania awhile back.

to protect children is to keep them out of the judicial system.

while the children are in "jail" (that's what judge called this facility herself, jail). Father is allowed to see them, but he went off to Israel for work.
The judge also ordered children to be separated from each other.
These children have to be going through horrible trauma right now. They are in "jail" separated from their mother and each other, yet they haven't committed any crimes.

a couple of child abuse:

Yet he couldn't figure that out.

So, it was almost like "automatic writing" in crazy spiritualist circles.

She couldn't answer any questions when aide who she was supposedly communicating through didn't hear the question.

Apparently, those poor parents went through a 7-year ordeal and the father spent months in prison.

I have a dear Autistic friend who once used FC and moved on to augmented communication, with the device but without the facilitation.

Her degree from the University of Denver is as valid as Condoleezza Rice's.

the fact.

Just asking.

I am sure that this case has caused a lot of outrage. The duplication was, I am sure, unintentional.

Or like him?

This is what she says to a NINE year old girl:

And is punishing his ex and kids because she can.

NOT.
