Judge orders children detained

[Gina B]

Until 18, after they refuse to have lunch with allegedly abusive father. Their mother is not allowed to see them.

The judge is an arrogant moron.

I am not sure the judge did the right thing based on the report in the op but it is interesting to see a judge in favor of the father for a change.

The judge is an arrogant moron.

"Moron" is right. How do you "order" somebody to have a healthy relationship?

I've been involved in family counselling for twenty years and step number one to restoring a relationship damaged by abuse is putting the abuse on the table and dealing with it. The judge seems to be unwilling to acknowledge the abuse.

Exactly. :thumbs:

Of course, there's the other side of the story:

Exclusive Interview: Dad Whose Kids Were ‘Locked Up for Not Having Lunch With Him’

Hint: That's not really what happened (Another hint: divorce hurts like [redacted])
Reached by telephone for an interview arranged by 5WPR, the firm Mr. Tsimhoni hired to help him navigate the crisis, Mr. Tsimhoni spoke to the Observer at length. “I’m in shock by what’s happening. My ex-wife lost in court after many times she was warned and as a result she just went out to the media to put pressure on the judge or overrule the judge. I understand everybody’s pain—the children’s pain, my pain, that the children are where they are. But she saw it coming and never tried to prevent it.”

What happened is that Mr. Tsimhoni took a job with GM in 2008. He moved to take a position in Israel and initially, Ms. Tsimhoni, who like Mr. Tsimhoni is originally from Israel, did not want to move back with him, even though both sets of grandparents lived in Israel.

“She decided not to come. Then she filed for divorce and stopped letting me see the kids or speak to the kids. After some months there was a reconciliation. She moved to Israel, we moved all of our belongings here and then one day she suddenly disappeared and took the kids. Next I heard from her she was in Michigan – not where we had lived, in Ann Arbor, but in Oakland County. That’s when the divorce proceedings began.”

There's more. Feel free to read the whole article. I don't have an opinion; as far as I know, it's a "he says/she says" thing.

What type of father allows their children to be incarcerated for this reason?

Yes the parents are fighting each other no surprise there but the judge is way out of line to punish the kids because their parents can't get along. No judge can order kids to have healthy relationship with anyone. And it would seem that if he thought their was contempt of court it should be the mother not the kids who should be paying the price.
I can tell you this that the judge just cemented in those kids minds that their dad doesn't care about them. He just sabotaged whatever relationship those kids may have had with their dad in the future.

Yep. The father should have backed off at that point for his kids' sake. At least there may have been the hope for a later future with them.

There are so many things wrong with this case! Please read and consider speaking out: http://literaryworks.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-egregious-improprieties-of-judge.html?m=1

Instead, the judge now ordered a short (days) therapy program that sounds a lot more like brainwashing than therapy. Appears they are holed up in a hotel with dad and therapists for this "program," after which the dad gets sole temporary custody for 90 days?
Very very odd.

From the info on this thread, both parents sound like the woman who, before Solomon, was content having the baby be cut in half.

Allegations and abuse and cultism are the weapons of choice when those wanting to leave a relationship desire justification for doing so. True or not, people are too willing to believe lies of this nature.

 

[Gina B]

Aaron, read the court documents. Whatever your personal thoughts are, there is still no excuse for constutional rights violations or judicial wrongdoing.
