you can't dictate
love love is earned
but that is precisely what respondent
was
doing ordering those kids to love
next we're in oakland county michigan
for a judicial disciplinary hearing
judge lisa gorsuch is under fire for her
handling of a contentious divorce case
involving three children
aged 9 10 and 13 who refused to engage
with their father
during his scheduled parenting time
despite the judge's direct orders
i ordered you to have a healthy
relationship with your father
your dad is a good man who loves you
when the children refuse to listen
judge hangs the possibility of time at
children's village
a juvenile detention center over their
heads
you want to have your birthdays in
chile's village
do you like going to the bathroom in
front of people did your bed soft and
comfortable at home
but when the scare tactic doesn't work
the judge takes it a step further
and singles out the two oldest children
for being brainwashed by
mom from not having a relationship with
their father
i have to say i totally have never seen
anything like this one day you can watch
this video
and realize that you two have been
brainwashed
your dad is a good man who loves you you
have been brainwashed
you need to do a research program on
charlie manson and the cult
that he has despite the judge coming
down on them
the oldest child makes a statement in
defense of his actions i do apologize to
whatever i did to you
but i do not apologize for not talking
to because
i have a reason for that and that's
because
he's surviving but the violent claim is
unsubstantiated
and judge gorsuch had enough all right
well um the court finds you in direct
contempt
you are a defiant contemptuous young man
so you did you i ordered you to talk to
your father
you chose not to talk to your father you
defied a direct court order
this is not normal and the court finds
both of you in direct contempt
turns out the judge was not bluffing
about sending the children to juvenile
detention
you both are going to live in children's
village your mother is not allowed to
visit no one on your mom's side is
allowed to visit
when you are ready to have lunch with
your dad
to have dinner with your dad to be
normal human beings
otherwise you are living in children's
village until you graduate from high
school
that's the order of the court the three
siblings spent a total of 17 days in
juvenile detention
but after the controversial ruling
captures media attention
the judge reversed her decision and had
the children placed in a local summer
camp
where both parents could visit them
examiner will call to the stand judge
gorsuca
while some fathers rights groups
championed gorsica
the judicial tenure commission felt
differently
they issued a two-count ethics complaint
against gorsica
for failing to act in a patient
dignified and
courteous manner but even back at the
disciplinary hearing
when she's called to testify judge
gorsuch stands by her actions
never for one minute thought that any
person
faced with door number one parenting
time
and door number two children's village
that had been explained to them
over and over again that this could
happen would pick
door number two but the examiner is
appalled by her behavior
from the bench
the judge with all the power behind her
raises her voice is sarcastic
is demeaning laughs at them
tells them they will be in jail how is
that not trying to terrorize a 9
a 10 and a 13 year old
ultimately the commission would find
gorsuca acted inappropriately
and call for a public censure and a
suspension
okay our next case will be in ray alisa
corsica versus judicial 10-year
commission
the judge appeals the case and it goes
to the michigan supreme court
the court determined that the public
rebuke was enough
and overruled the suspension as for the
couple
more than eight years after it began the
litigation
and custody battle raged on unresolved
