      @@colinwoodruff5292 it depends-- the DCF/S agencies in various states seem to be a collection of messes of inconsistency...
      In some cases, kids get taken from their relatively stable homes and parents at the drop of the proverbial hat, while in other cases you hear about how the agencies had evidence of/good reason to suspect that abuse is happening (like bruises, hospitalizations, etc..) but nothing happens until it's too late and a kid(s) die(s) and then there's a bunch of finger pointing and blame shifting, but no real reforms.
      But given the basic research I've done, it does seem that overall, in most cases, Family Courts and DCF/S Agencies seem to try pretty hard to keep kids in their homes, and if that is just not feasible, at least with family. There really does seem to be effort put into not sending kids into state custody, as that isn't good for anyone, least of all the kids, unless the kids are in physical danger and there is simply no family to take them. Just my layman's worthless opinion 😃

    Many years ago I was sitting in a Waffle House at about 5 AM eating breakfast when I overheard a man calling another man names. The man had appeared before that other man in family court and lost his case. I sit there quietly and ate. I did notice the Judge was not returning words and was also trying to eat. The manager on duty asked the man to leave and he did finally leave. The Judge finished eating and paid his check and left. AS I was out of town it was several weeks before I had a chance to hear what happened. It seems the Judge opened the case back up and modified the child support order and also added some spousal support. Moral of the story? Don't bad-mouth Judges inside or outside the courtroom!

If I understand the case dynamics that case still had some final business and while the case was basically over the case was not actually closed or a final order entered into the record. In some states, these final orders can take weeks to get into the record. I did make a mistake when I used the words "The Judge opened the case back up" that was an error on my part. I should have said the Judge went back to a still open but final case and made some adjustments. Here is another point. Even if the Judge could not have opened the case up the Judge can still charge you with disturbing the peace and have you arrested. It is always best to just leave a Judge eating breakfast alone!

She however no matter what care she was giving, and even under order from the court to receive psychiatric care, refused and would not seek to get better. Three lawyers back to back withdrew from representing her. The last hearing was via zoom and she was muted by the judge, she obviously kept running her mouth. And while doing that the judge gave her verdict that I got full custody of both our children, with her on,y allowed to have third party professionally supervised (children services) visitation. The kids wanted nothing to do with her, and after three years of that she finally started to seek help, but it’s too late now.

    25:00 Surely I'm not the only one who gets mad at someone laughing at someone who just lost someone important to their life? I don't care if you apologize the next day, you should have just had the respect at least of the dead and their family FROM THE START.

      Also why it seemed fake to me… she just wanted to get out… And stress my ass, I’ve been through everything and then some and it still didn’t make me be racist or laughing at someone else’s pain.

    The Bacardi guy at 16:30 is a real diamond in the rough. More rough than diamond. How did he even make it to adulthood? These types don't tend to handle well in prison either, due to the conflicts they constantly instigate.

    I just came across your channel yesterday while I have been watching the circus that is the Darrell Brooks trial. I have to say I truly appreciate your unbiased assessments of the cases you present. I have seen defense attorneys that refuse to acknowledge obviously bad and criminal behavior by defendants in court. Very refreshing to get straight up intelligent commentary. I now look forward to your episodes.
