I do not understand where the court has the power to jail a person because a third party that the person doesn't have control over fails to do a certain thing.

Just one more demonstration of who owns you.

This judge is a totalitarian.

This must not be allowed to stand. This judge needs to be punished. This is the slippery slope to holding people responsible for something their ancestors or descendants did.

I’m not sure how the judge could make this stick. The “child” is an adult. Is every adult in Ohio required to get a GED? How does the judge think a parent can force a child to learn enough to pass a GED if the child is totally out of control? Put the parent in jail? That puts the child in more control at home.

Neihaus is an elected judge. If I was the dad, I would make sure that this judge becomes unelected and unemployed.

Tiffany died Sept. 30, 1986, from gangrene when the wounds she suffered from continuous beatings became infected. She had been living with her father for 27 days. Butler County Children Services had taken the child away from Jackson alleging poor living conditions.

Butler County Juvenile Court Judge David Niehaus placed Tiffany with Hubbard even though a psychologist’s report cautioned against it, and despite Hubbard’s juvenile conviction at 17 for molesting a 7-year-old.

My understanding is that the girl wasn’t even living with her father at the time. The judge will quietly reverse his decision and we’ll hear no more of it, but the fact that the judge has this much authority will never be addressed.
