Three kids sent to juvie for not having lunch with dad
Three young siblings in Michigan have spent the past two
weeks in juvenile detention after a judge ordered them held for the summer for
defying a court order to have lunch with their father, Detroit media reported
on Thursday. The three children, aged 14, 10 and 9, were placed in juvenile
detention after a June 24 court hearing in which Oakland County Family Court
Judge Lisa Gorcyca ordered them to have a "healthy relationship" with
their father, the Detroit Free Press and WJBK-TV reported. According to reports,
the children's divorced parents have been fighting for five years over
parenting time and visitation. The children live with their mother in affluent
Bloomfield Hills, a suburb of Detroit, and their father lives in Israel, media
reported. The case earned national attention after it was reported that Gorcyca
followed through on previous promises to send the children to a juvenile
detention facility if they continued to defy her orders to speak with their
father. During the June hearing, Gorcyca told the children's mother she had
"brainwashed" them against their father, according to court records
first obtained by WJBK-TV.
"Your children - you need to do a research program on
Charlie Manson and the cult that he has," the judge said, according to
court transcripts cited by the station. The oldest child told the judge that he
did not want to spend time with his father because he was violent, the Free
Press reported, also citing the court records."I do not apologize for ...
not talking to him because I have a reason for that and that's because he's
violent ... I saw him hit my mom and I'm not gonna talk to him," it quoted
the child as saying. During the court hearing, the judge ordered the children to
have lunch with their father in the courthouse cafeteria and they refused, the
newspaper said.
