[@bridgingboundaries]

I found this Q&A from Judge Mathis dated 2016…. You’ve broadcast thousands of cases on Judge Mathis over the past 17 years, but do you have a most memorable case that you’ve heard, and why? JM: The most memorable, and perhaps the most embarrassing, depending on the opinion of the viewer, is one where I shed tears. It was the only case where I shed any tears on air. It was a young guy who had left the street gangs of Oakland to move in with his aunt in St. Louis. Both of his parents had died of HIV/AIDS, so when he left the street gangs to move in with his aunt, he was bent on going in the right direction and he enrolled in the community college in that area. He was suing his aunt’s husband, who had thrown all of his things outside because he came in after midnight, which was against the rigid uncle’s rules for a 24-year-old kid. So when I challenged the uncle of why he would throw his things out without a court order or why he would even do that period, he began giving harsh criticism of the kid. Talking about, “He ain’t nothing, he’s never gonna be anything, I threw the clothes out because he doesn’t need to be there anyway.” I began to ask him things like, “Didn’t you think he could have mentored the young man? He’s fought his way out, when most young people don’t want to leave the street gangs, and you don’t want to give him any support? He’s in community college.” And he began to rage about the young man, “No, I don’t wanna help him. He has to get it on his own, he can go back to the street gangs.” So I began to admonish that guy because I had seen myself in the young man. I saw myself in having left the street gangs in Detroit and gone to college. But I had a supportive cousin who helped direct and mentor me. So I saw the opposite there, and it was so touching and compelling that in the midst of me going in on the uncle I shed a little tear there. The good news is that I kind of inspired the young man using my example, gave him some direction, met with him after the case to give him some further direction and support, and he came back two years later and he was a youth minister at his church and had completed his Associate Arts degree and was working on his Bachelor’s degree.

[@denniseiacharles-haynes4659]

exact reason why other races frown on us times .. this man was damn if he did and damn if he didn’t ! But the fact he chose to rise above what was around him ! He has/had a calling over his life ! God protected him and he will continue to ! This inspired me soooo much to want to be better in Christ

No full video, but I did find a summary of the outcome of this case on Judge Mathis:11-10-2003 Judge Mathis Cries For A Troubled Young Man--Brandon moved in with his uncle, Anthony, to escape the gang lifestyle in Oakland. He had no where else to turn since both his parents were dead. To make matters worse, Brandon had Sickle Cell Anemia. Brandon said Anthony abused him and did nothing to encourage him. During the case, Anthony told Brandon that he meant nothing to him. As the audience moaned, Judge Mathis took his glasses off and began to cry. The judge said he saw himself in Brandon and said he did a good thing by running from the gangs. Brandon went on to tell of how Anthony threw all his stuff out, including the medication for his disease. Brandon brought Anthony to court for $2,500 for dumping his property, while his uncle counter sued for rent. Judge Mathis told Brandon that he did not sue for enough because he was entitled to pain and suffering, so the judge granted him $4,200. The audience applauded the verdict.

[@crispycruiser4654]

The fact that this young boy even got up every day and kept on living, looked presentable and carried himself with class, even through chronic disease, through being an orphan from teenage years, through vicious abuse by his closest relative, is really an inspiration to me. I lost my dad at 25 and got very sick now at 33 years old. I know judge Mathis didn’t just let this kid go after the show. If I know judge Mathis he met him, he motivated him, and kept in touch. Hopefully he’s doing well now as this was 20 years ago and he’s actually older than me. Also, shame on the uncle for doubting that his sickle cell was acting up. This is textbook gaslighting that the healthy do to the disabled all the time by accusing them of faking illness. If you're a healthy person, you haven't walked a day in my shoes, so you don't get to have a say or input on whether I'm too sick to you a favor. It's the worst feeling in the world to be in pain and have loved ones accuse you of faking. Also the uncle is an animal abuser. Just wow.

It is tragic that the real issues here are hidden behind the drama. You are looking at a Youngman unable to make the adjustment to inhabit a house that does not belong to his parents, Applaudable is his efforts to rid himself of gang influence, but he is still resistant to the rules of the house that we learn as teens. I often disagreed with my father, but never went up against him, or acted disrespectfully. These skills will also be helpful in keeping a job and dealing with civil authority.

@@intimatespearfisher I respect your information as probative but have no way of knowing if that is the truth. That aside, I have laid my head at the discretion of many landlords / family members, before being independent. Some did not prescribe specific rules but I learned how to read their moods.

I agree. If the uncle treats his own blood- his nephew- this way, it's likely he doesn't treat his wife any better. Her behavior (always looking at her husband, never at the nephew), makes me think she is doing what she is "supposed" to be doing. The man is soulless.

That's quite a stretch. The aunt is no relative to Brandon, she is his aunt-in-law which really means nothing. This is between Brandon and the uncle. Maybe you're right but you're purely speculating. "He looks evil" why?? Did he murder somebody? Did he rape a child? No all we know that he did was...not want to take in his nearly adult nephew.

Isn’t the goal of taking care of a child to make them a better person than the parent/guardian? Have them achieve a greatness that the guardian couldn’t achieve? How is that supposed to happen when the guardian says “You can’t be a be a better person than me”? They have to leave the house before they can stand up for themselves? If they leave before they know to stand up for themselves, they probably won’t. Or they won’t for a real long time because it was never seen as a good thing when they were growing up.
