Oh God, that woman is awful. I read a long-form article about her a few years ago and it was just shocking. I've actually worked with kids in foster care in the court system. I'm not easily shocked.

Also, when you have a judge doing things like that, you damn well better believe that social workers cannot speak out because they will then worry about having their own kids taken away. It's always so much worse than people can even report.

I thought the exact same thing. These judges have been abusing their power and consequently ruining lives for generations. It needs to be easier to remove the trash from these positions of authority.
