6. In most civilized places, the 15 year-old wouldn't be forced to see him

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.

She ordered the children to have a "healthy" relationship with their father. LisaL Jul 2015 #7
Yeah, because healthy relationships are made on demand Gormy Cuss Jul 2015 #9
The transcripts show that the mom begged the kid to talk to his dad and the judge is NUTS! Tatiana La Belle Jul 2015 #10
Ms Ego thinks she is God. She cannot order anyone to have a good relationship - that takes jwirr Jul 2015 #32
That's a legitimate worry. Once in Israel, the mother would have little recourse Tatiana La Belle Jul 2015 #33
That is why i mentioned it. And yes I have seen the kick back to judges also. IMO the best way jwirr Jul 2015 #36
Not only that, judge ordered that the mother not be allowed to see the children LisaL Jul 2015 #35
As I said above the best way to protect children is to keep them out of the judicial system. jwirr Jul 2015 #37
