[self_evident]

Judge should have used *judgement* and erred on the caution and let the parents care for her.

Judges used their *judgement* instead of the law, in 1973. And look what that got us.

[the OlLine Rebel]

True judgement has been used for ages, esp. understood in the long-past days of the Republic. Concern about the SPIRIT even above the LETTER of the law should be paramount. Otherwise, you'll start behaving like Clinton. "I didn't lie when I said I never inhaled." The ass knew the concern is using drugs at all, never mind exactly what he did w/them!
