Legally 16 is a minor, but if she had committed a violent crime, she could be tried as an adult. That seems hypocritical. If she could be charged as an adult in a crime, it should also be a case by case, situational, decision here. If she’s saying she’s being abused, I believe her.

Why don't you read the mothers statement made in the last 24 hours ?I have no idea if her account of his controlling behaviour and accusations,(aimed at making her come back after she left him) are true. I have no idea if what he's suggesting is true. The thing is, neither do you.

Good job you aren't making decisions really.
No one is listening to Alison. She's been with her dad for a year. Her rich mom and her rich family are throwing their cash around to get what they want and it's working. Her dad cannot drag her out of the house. 15 is old enough for her to make up her own mind. I feel for dad. Mom seems crazy.
So this is what having money and a good lawyer gets you. Your daughter doesn’t want to stay with you? Just say that she’s mentally unstable and that she can’t choose for herself. Even when your daughter cries and says that you abused her, just say that her dad coached her to say it. Yeah the system is fucked.

Taking away the daughter from the father, what kind of mother seeks a temporary custody order to send her daughter off to a mental facility? The court is obviously not listening to the 15 year old child. Perhaps that was the motive of the mother so her child wouldn't be heard?

Hi Nick. I don’t use X but apparently there’s an account there called SFInvestigates that has reported that a year or so ago, Alison’s mother and grandfather had felony sex abuse on Alison charged against them. I believe the account shares court filings but I really don’t know for sure. What precipitated the charges or how things resolved into mom getting full custody and a court order for her hospitalization is really strange. I think you are on X and might find that twist worth exploring with your keen critical mind. Poor Alison has been abused by someone and if only she had reached the TV station where she wanted to tell her story. Then again, perhaps that exposure could damage her further but she does want to be heard. It is said she’s in protective custody now.
@@barbaraellison1095 it reminds me another case, a teen falsely accused her father sexual abuse her just wanted to be away from her father, because her father is strict to her. In the end, that teen was killed by bully from some other kids. Teens are crazy age, their minds sometime are not stable. It’s hard to say from us.
The mother and her family are extremely wealthy with a lot of connections. They pretty much run that city and have the court system in the palm of their hands.
It is very obvious who the villian is. Why can't the judge listen to this poor kid? The system failed her and her mom side is using their money and hired a very expensive PR team. Her mom side has deep connections to those in power. You can tell that MP police was on mom side.
It doesn’t sound like the father thought this through. How long could she remain in hiding? Eventually she was going to have to return to school. I will say this though. It is almost impossible for a dad to get custody in California in a divorce. I don’t understand why the mother is so dead set against this since he lives nearby.
This is a very sad situation, the courts do get things wrong and often favour the mother in custody cases. I think the father has made a mistake in hiding/ helping his daughter but I understand his actions. I just hope that the claim of a b u s e is looked into as the daughter should be heard and supported.
As I understand things, the charges were investigated in 2023. That is when the father got an EPO, the mother was briefly arrested (don’t know about the grandfather). As it turns out, there were never any charges brought against her mother (or they were dismissed quickly, not sure which). Then many hearings earlier this year ending in her mother receiving custody for making mental health decisions. The whole thing seems very complicated but this is clearly not the first time Alison has uttered those accusations; probably why her dad didn’t react at all when she switched from telling the police she didn’t want go with them to claiming her mother abused her. He knows the whole story…which none of us online do.
Mother has money and use it to put ex in a bad situation: Mum shud not be given custody of Allison at all . I think previous judge should be looked into as well to give custody of a child to her abuser.
Either Alison is an amazing actress, or she is terrified of her mother. Seems to me her dad came up with a scheme to have her “run away” and who knows what else. But it backfired and now he’s been arrested, and Alison is in foster care, vulnerable to abuse from complete strangers now. What an exposé of a failed system.
Dude... he's just being careful and deferring to his lawyer on whether or not he can answer the question. Believe it or not even a simple question like that warrants asking your lawyer first... Stop trying to create drama.
I think there's a lot more to this story than being led on right now. I believe it's a messy divorce and in a way, Alison is wanting to stay with the dad bc he's more lenient. I wish i waited b4 donating to their GFM earlier today. (Yes, mom's family has money, but dad makes more money than mom). But, i believe Alison when she said mom abused her. My thoughts?? Maybe mom is a strict tiger mom and spanks her... and in Alison's mind, that's abuse. Maybe mom just wanted mental health evaluation bc at one point, Alison said mom and grandpa sexually abused her. In which was discredited in court. If my dgtr accused me of such thing, I'd take that very seriously and would want complete assessments done of my dgtr to ensure her mental health is ok!!
I hope DCFS keeps a very close eye on the mother. The police were likely frustrated with that father because of all of the police resources used. I’ve encountered 2 similar situations of first generation American daughters in a single mother home with foreign born mothers who emotionally, mentally and physically abused their daughters. Both situations were rectified but one daughter, the black sheep of the 3 had it really hard.
How far the system going to push the poor girl? She is 15 years old. She should know what is right or wrong! For God says! I think it is about time the court should make a statement about why they decided for her to.
Jail is a joke. The only thing about jail is it’s boring that is all. I’ve been there. Definitely not a scary place. He could care less about jail. He’s more concerned about his daughter. Unfortunately, the system is broken and it failed. The judge was extremely stupid and dumb and her decisions to ignore the pleads of the little girl.
Alison is strong and smart enough to not trust those policemen - if she opened the door to the bullies, they were going to drag her, the abuser. Alison biked her all the way from Monterey Park to ABC News station in Glendale, WHY? We can't fail the girl and her dad.
It such an heartbroken case in a broken careless system. Please collect more information before you put it in your analyzation. It was the court order to put alison to institution facility for mental illness, the father seem like doing the correct response by the legal advisor, told Alison to go, but she herself refused.
I think the whole situation needs to be reviewed very carefully. I believe the child should be protected but we all know a child can act out to get what they want. That includes feigning that they are being abused. The video does look bad on the mom parts but we are only seeing one small part of the situation. If she is truly in danger, I would have done the same if I were the dad. We all want to protect our children regardless of consequences. If he didn’t act & something did happen to her, he could never live with himself.
This girl ran away she was not missing never missing she is manipulating the situation and she is running her dads parenting you can tell he doesn’t discipline her
Even if and only if the mother ends up with the full custody of her child. Does she really win over her love and heart or only her physical body without the soul.
I don't get that the daughter who is 15 or 16 whichever doesn't matter. She's old enough to decide who she wishes to live with. This is baded on what we know so far. I'm curious if there are other children, there ages, who do they live with? I'm assuming she's an only child and am assuming she's been very sheltered. She seems immature for a kid her age from the United States. Are the parents from here or where? Sometimes different cultures have very different expectations of how their children should behave, especially females. Just a thought.
breaks my heart i do pray for most benevolent outcome. there are no accidents so the parents are in a karmic duel but poor Allison is such an angelic soul such a besutiful soul i cant rest until she gets an upbest square deal not low life coz she is highest caliber also mature enough to move out if finds a roommate and part time work soon old enough
Isn’t 16 old enough to decide which parent you wanna live with ??? I think they are being harsh with the dad . People are always saying in these situations “why didn’t the dad do anything “ he does and he gets arrested .
The father seemed to have know something about the abscence of Allison therefore adding onto the abduction scare. Since the case is public, let the courts play out. The exact reasons will come to light.
"I think the thing that is missing in this conversation it that there has to be a reason, perhaps a good reason that the courts granted Alison's mother custody." Really bad take. The court awards the mother custody 99% of the time. It's very much an uphill battle for a father to be awarded custody.
On her IG, Annie said that Jeffery reported Alison missing. A news report said that Jeffery's sister called Jeffery around 8pm to say that Alison never made it to her house, which she should have made it to by 6pm. Then Jeffery reported her missing around 9:36. The mom said she was informed that Aliso was missing about 10pm. Jeffery's representative said Jeffery was the one who created the initial missing poster with Alison's pictures and info.
Both parents are wrong. I feel that this ugly divorce made both side mad. They want to hurt each other by taking Alison. The mother recently got full custody of Alison. That hurt the father. He in return stage a missing person. That hurt the mother. Now he is in jail and the mother has the upper hand. Alison is in foster care. The bottom line they both hurt Alison. No one win.
However it pans out in the future, making assumptions or taking sides at this point with either parent would be a mistake. There's historic accusations by the dad that didn't stand up legally and were dropped. There are counter allegations of what amounts to medical and other neglect by the mother. What this dad has done in the last week alone shows horrifically poor parenting. We don't know how mentally vulnerable this child is. I doubt she is unscathed by the last week alone. Let's stop pretending that abducting your child, hiding her away and lying to other family, the police and the world is in any way an appropriate response, even if you really do have concerns about abuse. In fact especially if you have concerns about abuse.
They should have a doctor to take a look at allison , to see if any abusive evidence from the mother . If there no bruise no torture mark then the little girl is lying .
Well Alison is not in the care of either parent since being found. She is in the care of the local authority child services, unsurprisingly. Which is where she's safest until things are properly assessed. People don't know the accusations about the mother are true, I would venture that what the father has done is not the first unwise action in his life as parent, an action that is in itself harmful to his child. Even if there are no other concerns about him, something we know nothing about. It's not goodies and baddies, it's yet another child having their life fcked up by shoddy parents.
I believe that the courts made the right decision if there is some kind of abuse going on in the home. The fact they took the father into custody must mean there is something going on there that could be detrimental to Alison in some way. We don't know the details as of yet but there could have been some physical abuse directed at the mother which is unhealthy for the child to be witness to such violence. Whatever the case, the child's welfare is the most important concern and if it took separating the parents and temporary custody of the father to achieve a better solution for Alison.... then they definitely acted correctly. With the police call it could be a possibility that the father might have had the daughter intimidated and fearful of going outside for consequences she might have have to deal with later. I have dealt with plenty of that with my daughters and their abusive boyfriends where the men had them terrified to even speak with the police when they were called to the scene by concerned neighbors. I felt some suspicion about that whole interaction due to past experience and the extremely upset demeanor of Alison. Just a possibility, there is a lot more that needs to be learned about this case.
This has probably got to be the worst take. She had been living with her father. Her mother was trying to have her committed and from the video Alison says she was abusing her. The courts, the judge and the social worker were the ones who caused this situtation.
@@K0nc3pt10nI also want to add that there possibly court files stating her mom and grandfather SA her but the files have “disappeared” or have been “unresolved” not to mention that her mother has been paying ppl to literally stalk and intimidate her daughter in the pass, and there’s rumors she’s been paying ppl to play her side. This is truly upsetting but I hope it exposes all the flaws in custody battles and everything works out for Alison.
You're new to the story, if you're interested, try to start from the beginning where Alison went missing. Then the motives to be missing. Then the cause of missing.
Mother is hiding the fact herself and the grandfather SA abuse Allison. To shut Allison mouth her mother will need to send her to the mental institution. Mother has money. Thats the reason Allison left the day before she went missing. If i was the dad. I too would protect her. In the eyes of a child. The parent is the god and thats what father did.
the father was lying. The daughter was at his house while she recorded the video. But who send the daughter to nearby news station and i guess is defintely the father who drove her there. So why the father said he didn't seen his daughter since missing past week.
on one hand they've had 15 years to prove mom's incompetence and they haven't been able to. on the other the girl is a teenager and doesn't want to be with her. gonna be a tricky one for the courts.
Clearly the husband, the wrong portrayal of this case will stop victims of coercive control and emotional DV coming forward. I've been utterly disappointed in Grizzly's coverage and mocking the victim. The subtle clues are there, over apologising. Just as theatre is a term in the military, so is staging, her dad was in the Navy. She's used to deferring to men. The prosecution is so hostile, it beggars belief. Denise Lancashire UK
I am keeping an open mind whether one or both are the bad guys on the basis of what happened prior to Alison going missing. But, if he's been instrumental in this for the last week, then he has done bad. And you know ? Anyone who wants to and sees through making the disappearance of a child happen in this way, and lie to the police and the world as he seems to have done. Well guess what, that means they've moved up the continuum of likelihood for making their child disappear in a more permanent way in the future if things don't go their way. It is actually linked behaviour. He has literally declared himself to be a risk in terms of not being a safe parent.
Whoever wants to destroy the bady is not the real parent. The Judgement of Solomon is a story from the Hebrew Bible in which Solomon ruled between two women who both claimed to be the mother of a child. Solomon ordered the baby be cut in half, with each woman to receive one half. The first woman accepted the compromise as fair, but the second begged Solomon to give the baby to her rival, preferring the baby to live, even without her. Solomon ordered the baby given to the second woman, as her love was selfless, as opposed to the first woman's selfish disregard for the baby's actual well-being. Some consider this approach to justice an archetypal example of an impartial judge displaying wisdom in making a ruling. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judgement_of_Solomon

He knows the whole story…which none of us online do.

Thanks for the information 🙂
it sounds complicated. Many sides to the same story.
Mother has money and use it to put ex in a bad situation: Mum shud not be given custody of Allison at all . I think previous judge should be looked into as well to give custody of a child to her abuser.
And we wonder why so many adolescents are depressed and suicidal.
What a dumbbell, I think the atty meant don't answer the question, not to answer "No".
I thought the same
He had difficulty in answering 'yes or No. Looking around and heard people telling him 'NO'.
Interesting to see what the Court's will make of this
❤
Either Alison is an amazing actress, or she is terrified of her mother. Seems to me her dad came up with a scheme to have her “run away” and who knows what else. But it backfired and now he’s been arrested, and Alison is in foster care, vulnerable to abuse from complete strangers now. What an exposé of a failed system.
Perfectly stated- this whole situation in a nutshell. Sad. 😔
Dude... he's just being careful and deferring to his lawyer on whether or not he can answer the question. Believe it or not even a simple question like that warrants asking your lawyer first... Stop trying to create drama.
Good reporting. The father should not have been conspiring with the daughter to run away....
my conclusion is i hope the judge lets allison talk and that i hope Jeffrey gets a good lawyer to pursue gaping holes in mother’s position
I had a feeling this wasn't going to go well when I realized the lawyer hosting this press conference is a criminal defense attorney.
I think there's a lot more to this story than being led on right now. I believe it's a messy divorce and in a way, Alison is wanting to stay with the dad bc he's more lenient. I wish i waited b4 donating to their GFM earlier today. (Yes, mom's family has money, but dad makes more money than mom).
But, i believe Alison when she said mom abused her. My thoughts?? Maybe mom is a strict tiger mom and spanks her... and in Alison's mind, that's abuse.
Maybe mom just wanted mental health evaluation bc at one point, Alison said mom and grandpa sexually abused her. In which was discredited in court. If my dgtr accused me of such thing, I'd take that very seriously and would want complete assessments done of my dgtr to ensure her mental health is ok!!
Perfectly stated
The police and court always favors the mother in California even though the mother is crazy and pretend crying…. something wrong with the system
There's major tension between mom and dad and poor Alison is suffering. 💔😔 thanks nick
I hope DCFS keeps a very close eye on the mother. The police were likely frustrated with that father because of all of the police resources used. I’ve encountered 2 similar situations of first generation American daughters in a single mother home with foreign born mothers who emotionally, mentally and physically abused their daughters. Both situations were rectified but one daughter, the black sheep of the 3 had it really hard.
Lawyers will create more problems to get paid.
How far the system going to push the poor girl? She is 15 years old. She should know what is right or wrong! For God says! I think it is about time the court should make a statement about why they decided for her to.

Jail is a joke. The only thing about jail is it’s boring that is all. I’ve been there. Definitely not a scary place. He could care less about jail. He’s more concerned about his daughter. Unfortunately, the system is broken and it failed. The judge was extremely stupid and dumb and her decisions to ignore the pleads of the little girl.
You leave care homes at 16 UK and can marry (Scotland) or leave home too UK. Noone thinks a 16 yr old is a child here.
The only bad guy here is the failure of a court system.😊
Alison is strong and smart enough to not trust those policemen - if she opened the door to the bullies, they were going to drag her, the abuser. Alison biked her all the way from Monterey Park to ABC News station in Glendale, WHY? We can't fail the girl and her dad.
I’m sure his lawyers knew that he lied and said he didn’t know where Allison was, so what are his lawyers going to do now
I see money get u whatever u want in the justice system. Horrible
Always. 😔
It such an heartbroken case in a broken careless system. Please collect more information before you put it in your analyzation. It was the court order to put alison to institution facility for mental illness, the father seem like doing the correct response by the legal advisor, told Alison to go, but she herself refused.
I think the whole situation needs to be reviewed very carefully. I believe the child should be protected but we all know a child can act out to get what they want. That includes feigning that they are being abused. The video does look bad on the mom parts but we are only seeing one small part of the situation. If she is truly in danger, I would have done the same if I were the dad. We all want to protect our children regardless of consequences. If he didn’t act & something did happen to her, he could never live with himself.
This girl ran away she was not missing never missing she is manipulating the situation and she is running her dads parenting you can tell he doesn’t discipline her
Honesty is the best policy. Dad may be trying to help his daughter, but his lying makes everything he says suspect.
Even if and only if the mother ends up with the full custody of her child. Does she really win over her love and heart or only her physical body without the soul.
Thank you for you excellent analysis.
Something is up here if the court gave the child to the father. Something is up here.
There's a video of Jeff's mom talking about Alison and it's really wholesome. No reason for daughter to be institutionalized.
I don't get that the daughter who is 15 or 16 whichever doesn't matter. She's old enough to decide who she wishes to live with. This is baded on what we know so far. I'm curious if there are other children, there ages, who do they live with? I'm assuming she's an only child and am assuming she's been very sheltered. She seems immature for a kid her age from the United States. Are the parents from here or where? Sometimes different cultures have very different expectations of how their children should behave, especially females. Just a thought.
Yea I agree my kids got to choose at 13
That why the court order them out to solve the problems , but they refuse to that what make it an issues now .
Yes, she is an only child. No, please don’t assume she’s immature or sheltered based on stereotypes. However, I see your point.
breaks my heart i do pray for most benevolent outcome. there are no accidents so the parents are in a karmic duel but poor Allison is such an angelic soul such a besutiful soul i cant rest until she gets an upbest square deal not low life coz she is highest caliber also mature enough to move out if finds a roommate and part time work soon old enough
Isn’t 16 old enough to decide which parent you wanna live with ??? I think they are being harsh with the dad . People are always saying in these situations “why didn’t the dad do anything “ he does and he gets arrested .
the parents are messing her up big time.
it's not justice, it's just the technicality of the book. not all laws are written exactly as morally intended.
When the lawyers get involved, everything turns to crap. They actually pit the family against each other. It's all so they make more money.
The father seemed to have know something about the abscence of Allison therefore adding onto the abduction scare. Since the case is public, let the courts play out. The exact reasons will come to light.
All it matters now is that Alison gets what she needed.
"I think the thing that is missing in this conversation it that there has to be a reason, perhaps a good reason that the courts granted Alison's mother custody." Really bad take. The court awards the mother custody 99% of the time. It's very much an uphill battle for a father to be awarded custody.
court silenced Alison, when she said she wanted to voice out. reply to her from the judge: Quote, i am tight. unquote. failed judge
I completely agree, especially taking California’s tendency to be a state with laws catering to the mothers.
Who is the person (the mother or father) to report to PD the teen was missing?
On her IG, Annie said that Jeffery reported Alison missing. A news report said that Jeffery's sister called Jeffery around 8pm to say that Alison never made it to her house, which she should have made it to by 6pm. Then Jeffery reported her missing around 9:36. The mom said she was informed that Aliso was missing about 10pm. Jeffery's representative said Jeffery was the one who created the initial missing poster with Alison's pictures and info.
Pro libertas pugnabo. Nunc et semper
Sorry you lost me when you started talking about the Madeline McCann case.
I believe every word the mother says.
Maybe money talks in this case? I don’t know.
Both parents are wrong. I feel that this ugly divorce made both side mad. They want to hurt each other by taking Alison. The mother recently got full custody of Alison. That hurt the father. He in return stage a missing person. That hurt the mother. Now he is in jail and the mother has the upper hand. Alison is in foster care.
The bottom line they both hurt Alison. No one win.
Good Afternoon 🙂
My heart is with Alison and the situation stinks.
#amazonhasnicksbooks
However it pans out in the future, making assumptions or taking sides at this point with either parent would be a mistake. There's historic accusations by the dad that didn't stand up legally and were dropped. There are counter allegations of what amounts to medical and other neglect by the mother. What this dad has done in the last week alone shows horrifically poor parenting. We don't know how mentally vulnerable this child is. I doubt she is unscathed by the last week alone. Let's stop pretending that abducting your child, hiding her away and lying to other family, the police and the world is in any way an appropriate response, even if you really do have concerns about abuse. In fact especially if you have concerns about abuse.
They should have a doctor to take a look at allison , to see if any abusive evidence from the mother . If there no bruise no torture mark then the little girl is lying .
And the the grandfather on her mom side.
Abusive is not just physical, it could be emotional as well!!!
Seriously? Haven’t you ever heard of emotional abuse? Verbal abuse? Psychological abuse?
@@darcandelariathank you, great point. ♥️
Its not her father
Well Alison is not in the care of either parent since being found. She is in the care of the local authority child services, unsurprisingly. Which is where she's safest until things are properly assessed. People don't know the accusations about the mother are true, I would venture that what the father has done is not the first unwise action in his life as parent, an action that is in itself harmful to his child. Even if there are no other concerns about him, something we know nothing about. It's not goodies and baddies, it's yet another child having their life fcked up by shoddy parents.
#letherspeak
I believe that the courts made the right decision if there is some kind of abuse going on in the home. The fact they took the father into custody must mean there is something going on there that could be detrimental to Alison in some way. We don't know the details as of yet but there could have been some physical abuse directed at the mother which is unhealthy for the child to be witness to such violence. Whatever the case, the child's welfare is the most important concern and if it took separating the parents and temporary custody of the father to achieve a better solution for Alison.... then they definitely acted correctly.
With the police call it could be a possibility that the father might have had the daughter intimidated and fearful of going outside for consequences she might have have to deal with later. I have dealt with plenty of that with my daughters and their abusive boyfriends where the men had them terrified to even speak with the police when they were called to the scene by concerned neighbors. I felt some suspicion about that whole interaction due to past experience and the extremely upset demeanor of Alison. Just a possibility, there is a lot more that needs to be learned about this case.
This has probably got to be the worst take. She had been living with her father. Her mother was trying to have her committed and from the video Alison says she was abusing her. The courts, the judge and the social worker were the ones who caused this situtation.
@@K0nc3pt10nI also want to add that there possibly court files stating her mom and grandfather SA her but the files have “disappeared” or have been “unresolved” not to mention that her mother has been paying ppl to literally stalk and intimidate her daughter in the pass, and there’s rumors she’s been paying ppl to play her side. This is truly upsetting but I hope it exposes all the flaws in custody battles and everything works out for Alison.
You're new to the story, if you're interested, try to start from the beginning where Alison went missing. Then the motives to be missing. Then the cause of missing.
I meant to the mother in the comment below.
I don’t understand, he was hiding his daughter? Wow he is mentally disturbed. For weeks? I doubt the mother was abusing her daughter.
That's not how it is. She wants to stay with her dad.
Alison is petrified of her abusive mother.. If her mother cared, she would do the right thing and let the child stay with her dad.
Mother is hiding the fact herself and the grandfather SA abuse Allison. To shut Allison mouth her mother will need to send her to the mental institution. Mother has money. Thats the reason Allison left the day before she went missing. If i was the dad. I too would protect her. In the eyes of a child. The parent is the god and thats what father did.
Very good dad, his daughter whom he kídnapped wears the same clothes a whole week
the father was lying. The daughter was at his house while she recorded the video. But who send the daughter to nearby news station and i guess is defintely the father who drove her there. So why the father said he didn't seen his daughter since missing past week.
That was the day before she ran away
The mom
on one hand they've had 15 years to prove mom's incompetence and they haven't been able to. on the other the girl is a teenager and doesn't want to be with her. gonna be a tricky one for the courts.
Clearly the husband, the wrong portrayal of this case will stop victims of coercive control and emotional DV coming forward. I've been utterly disappointed in Grizzly's coverage and mocking the victim. The subtle clues are there, over apologising. Just as theatre is a term in the military, so is staging, her dad was in the Navy. She's used to deferring to men. The prosecution is so hostile, it beggars belief. Denise Lancashire UK

I am keeping an open mind whether one or both are the bad guys on the basis of what happened prior to Alison going missing. But, if he's been instrumental in this for the last week, then he has done bad. And you know ? Anyone who wants to and sees through making the disappearance of a child happen in this way, and lie to the police and the world as he seems to have done. Well guess what, that means they've moved up the continuum of likelihood for making their child disappear in a more permanent way in the future if things don't go their way. It is actually linked behaviour. He has literally declared himself to be a risk in terms of not being a safe parent.
One thing can be sure , the police and society sick and tired of this family .
Whoever wants to destroy the bady is not the real parent. The Judgement of Solomon is a story from the Hebrew Bible in which Solomon ruled between two women who both claimed to be the mother of a child. Solomon ordered the baby be cut in half, with each woman to receive one half. The first woman accepted the compromise as fair, but the second begged Solomon to give the baby to her rival, preferring the baby to live, even without her. Solomon ordered the baby given to the second woman, as her love was selfless, as opposed to the first woman's selfish disregard for the baby's actual well-being. Some consider this approach to justice an archetypal example of an impartial judge displaying wisdom in making a ruling. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judgement_of_Solomon
