A Detroit judge, who blamed their mother for poisoning the children's attitude toward their father, ordered the children be sent to a juvenile detention center for defying her orders — while in court — by not going to lunch with their father.

People we appoint/elect judges are supposed to be above that sort of behavior, and when they are proved to be not, they should be immediately removed from the bench.

Oakland county judges should been investigated. I just don't get why they use their discretion in such astonishing ways.
