Divorce involving children can get messy, and for one family in Bloomfield Hills, Detroit, it has turned into a courtroom nightmare. According to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], Maya Tsimhoni's three children — ages 14, 10, and 9 — are being held in a juvenile detention facility by a judge's orders. The reason? The children refused to go to lunch with their father.
Judge Lisa Gorcyca had ordered the kids to maintain a healthy relationship with their dad through a rough five-year divorce, but when the kids didn't comply, she had all three kids sent to Children's Village's Juvenile Hall — until they turn 18 years old. The judge even compared the kids to "Charles Manson and his cult" for avoiding their father.
Tsimhoni's son, at one point, tried to explain to the judge why they don't want to see their dad, saying, "Because he is violent and I saw him hit my mom." But it didn't sway the judge at all.
Tsimhoni said, "No matter how bad the divorce gets, I think the court should not punish the kids for that." She is now fighting to get her children back from Children's Village, where they've been for two weeks — separated from each other and barred from visits from their mother. |

| That judge is so wrong--why on earth send those children to a juvenile home until they're 18 yrs old over not wanting to see a violent man?!! That was too harsh--she could've ordered supervised visit or something other than that, I believe. |

| So they are taking children away for refusing to see their dad? That is overstepping. There are children out there who are suffering from extreme neglect and this attention would be better spent on them. The judge should have looked more into this situation. Is the dad really abusive? Investigate him, if need be do supervised visits. But why put kids in a home when they have a mom who wants them? If she can take care of them then they should be with her. A child needs to feel safe in their surroundings, if something is happening and children feel unsafe or threatened then they need to know that they can trust adults to help them. This judge should have listened to what the real problem is and help these kids, instead they were punished. |
