Judge Ricke puts a Nix to Parenting Foolishness

He really is the best, he puts up with zero bs in his court, he's also the Chief Judge. Glad things worked out for you!

[@frankwallace5174]

she turned these kids against him. plain and simple.

[@jeramychunn9108]

That's why she fought so hard for custody with no visitations. That's also why her facial expressions were so flamboyant when the judge kept telling the dad that he needs to have a sit down conversation with them. Mothers are the absolute worst when it comes to alienating kids from their father.......

[@PurpelDewdrop]

Amanda is going to be unhappy when kids learn to talk to dad. She will be revealed.

Yeah, it's mice to think they will grow up one day and learn the truth of how mom interfered with dad. Sadly, by the time they are adults, they will be so alienated from their father they wont so much as attend his funeral. Especially a quiet dad who is unexpressive. This guy needs a backbone.

[@charlene2400]

Often two sides to these things. Mom took me and left my father, and she made visitation so tough on him, he just stayed away, after few court appearances. To this day, I can't remember any of those visits, and I'm told I ended up catatonic for days, after each one. Was Mom too harsh? I'd say no, as Dad and his family, were BS crazy. Dad had an irrational belief that I had to die before age 13, or he'd die. This was related to his own father dying, when he reached 13. He didn't mellow out, until I passed that age, and he hadn't died. Otherwise, I saw him once a decade, until I buried him. In winter 1990, my mom was hit by a car, while she was carrying groceries across the street, and my grandmother)dad's mom) got temporary custody of me for 6 months. During this time, I suffered malnutrition, enough so that my school teachers used to save me food for after school, in the teachers' lounge. She refused to provide me any medical care, until threatened with jail time, for felony abuse. Richest woman in town, but would let you die of a cold. Whole family on that side was just sick. I lived in terror of this man, for almost 40yrs, and had the grandmother from Flowers In The Attic.

[@isntthatspecial3316]

This woman is something else. LOVED how he held her feet to the fire with the "IRONY" of her "argument" I think this "mother" has a LOT to do with why the kids don't have contact with Dad. I would LOVE to see an update. Key take away here: LOVE Your Children MORE than you HATE your Ex.

[@GoodnightJLH]

It’s not just her. He didn’t refute it at all when she said she had the children’s and her phone numbers but never called the children. We can’t possibly decide which (if either) is a good parent by listening to their testimony. The children are obviously traumatized. A counselor or guardian ad litem should be assigned. Something very wrong is happening in one or both of these houses and it needs to stop. Forcing the children in this way isn’t good for them. I hope they are okay.

[@pandorasbox4238]

That mother IS the cause of the children being afraid etc! U can't stand when adults say "he got me on drugs!" NO! SHE got hook on drugs! To blame that severe behavior on the father is wrong! Her entire personality says @im in charge! Do what I say!" She just told the judge that the dad needs another adult! And the judge let her tell him what to do not refusing her ordering a judge! Bull that woman us the reason. Those chitter probably spoiled rotten and told their father is bad! She probably told them their dad got her on drugs! It's so obvious! The dad however is about excited as a log! Wake up! These is your children! I guess his personality is nothing what I desire for sure And that ugly beard has got to go! Gross. But .. that doesn't have any significance in patenting. I just don't like it! Thst mother is mean bossy etc.I bet the dad still sends her money every month!! She sure doesn't mind getting that!! "Sleeping in the couch!" Big deal! Most kids like it! That mother thinks they should all have bedrooms for 4 days a month! No! Yes the sofa is fine! I'd stop giving her money if she refuses the children!

[@GoodnightJLH]

I think the Judge did a bad job. There is obviously something very wrong going on in at least one of these homes. It’s very likely that neither is doing a good parenting job. The children are traumatized. They need a counselor or guardian ad litem to help them with this. This may be parental alienation but it also may well be that there is something bad going on at dad’s house. It was telling to me that Dad didn’t disagree when Mom said he never called the children on their phones. And I could see that when Dad was ordered to stay at a motel so his son could go to his football game, Dad didn’t seem too happy. I think both parents could use parenting classes and family counseling.

"My Kids"

[@GoodnightJLH]

Both parents referred to their kids as “my kids”. It’s sad. I do think that when children refuse visitation, there should be 3rd party evaluation with a counselor or guardian ad litem. Sometimes kids are choosing an overly permissive parent. Sometimes they are choosing a nicer house or closeness to friends. But they are often truly afraid of the other parent. We so often see videos on the Misery channel where kids are forced to have parenting time and end up in the hospital. I’m not saying that this man is abusive. But I do think the children need to be heard by an expert. If the mother is alienating the kids, then that needs to stop. If the kids are truly in fear of their dad then that needs to stop.

[@rachxllx2206]

I hate that smug look on the mom's face. The audacity she has is enraging.

If the dad put his hands on a child forcing them to get in a car she would have him arrested so the he does nothing to put them in the car is BS. I wonder what rehabs think about the mom blaming her addiction & not recovering on the dad & children?

[@Brian1Graves]

Sharp Judge.

[@GoodnightJLH]

I disagree. The judge should have ordered that the kids have 3rd party evaluation to see what is going on here. I suspect that neither parent is doing a good job. Dad never calls. Mom badmouths Dad. Dad has probably never attended either child’s special events such as football games. That father showed up at least 3 times and the children flat out refused to go with him. Those kids are traumatized and that needs to stop. Forcing visitation with Dad won’t fix the problem.

[@rhanBo]

Maybe he acts up after he sees dad because he knows he’s not going to get to see him again for a while. It’s insane that she is trying to tell the judge that they won’t go.

She is telling them they will be taken and never return and revving it up before he gets there so she can get a video opportunity trying to get them to go with dad. Showing them what a bad dad he is because he is forcing them to force the children to go. And the judge should have told her that he did not need to be supervised by anyone, including her stepmother.

I totally agree. And, this judge honestly doesn’t seem to care that these children are traumatized. Forcing visitation with Dad isn’t the answer. The kids need counseling or a guardian ad litem. The parents need parenting classes and counseling. I absolutely believe Mom talks bad about Dad. I also absolutely believe that Dad never calls the kids. And I saw the look on Dad’s face when the judge ordered Dad to stay in a motel so the son could go to his football game. There is no doubt in my mind that Dad didn’t allow these kids to attend special weekend events when he had them in the past.

[@bgsunlimited]

A father would never be allowed to speak like this. She said, "He's not a father" about 40 times. And basically said she won't follow the order if the kids don't want to go. As bad as cops can be, I don't believe he told her that he would't force the kids to go with dad, because they were so scared.

Because their opinions don’t matter. They are kids. It’s up to the parents to, well, parent them. If you ask kids what they want, they will often pick the parent who lets them get away with things, eat junk food and skip school. The parents and judge have to decide what is best for them.

Most judges would allow a 14 year old to have some say in whether to go with a parent. And 14 year olds are too big for a mother to physically force them into their father’s car. These kids need evaluation by a counselor who testifies to the court or a guardian ad litem. Instead, the judge ordered this father to basically perform the work of a counselor if a case where the kids refuse to be with him.
