YOU WILL OBEY OR BE LOCKED UP!
And if the kids refuse to obey the judge?
Are you ok with a 9 yr old being taken from her mother and locked up for 9 years for refusing to talk to her father?
As noted in the transcript...the mother DID talk to the kids and ask them to have lunch with thier father....the KIDS refused.
So lock em up?
It's not jail, it's state custody... and it's what THEY chose. You want a judge to force them to go somewhere else, but not force them into state custody? Which forced choice do you approve of, oh Great Solomon?
Yes, I am ok with that, because the alternative is that everyone has to obey the law except people we feel sorry for.
Remember, the children can get out whenever they want: as soon as the father tells the judge that the children have complied, she will release them. This is not a sentence she has imposed where the children *must* stay there—it is a choice on the part of the children.
