As I said, it is only my opinion and it may be wrong. I don't know that the mother's rights as a parent were terminated. I have no reason to suspect the judge of nefarious purposes. All I have to go by is what I saw in the trial. I honestly evaluated the situation with the children's best welfare in mind. I happen to feel that the demeanor of the father, his family history, etc., influenced me as to my preference for Michael as the custodial parent. I can defend my opinion no further than this. It is just an opinion.

Then you don't want to admit there was nothing wrong with the mother, and no justification for the judge running roughshod over her rights.

There's always going to be someone out there with "more to offer" a child, you know. Why not just have a judge assign every child to the best possible situation, no matter who bore them or raised them or how old they are when you decide it's in their best interest to uproot them?
