But I do not apologize for for not talking to him because I have a reason for that and that’s because he’s violent and he I saw him hit my mom and I’m not gonna talk to him,” the boy said, later telling the judge, “I didn’t do anything wrong.”
“No, you did,” Gorcyca replied. “You I ordered you to talk to your father. You chose not to talk to your father. You defied a direct court order. It’s direct contempt, so I am finding you guilty of civil contempt.”
Could a Judge really order someone to talk to another person and if they refuse to talk, they’re now a criminal?
