UPDATE (7/11/15) – Judge Orders Release of Kids Sent to Detention Center – Kids now Attending Summer Camp

 

MICHIGAN – Three Bloomfield Hills kids who refused an order by a judge to go to lunch with their father have been ordered to a juvenile detention facility. “I felt like I was watching them be executed,” said Maya Tsimhoni. The Tsimhoni family was in Oakland County’s family court for a hearing on supervised parenting time when Judge Lisa Gorcyca took matters into her own hands. June 24 court transcripts showed how upset the judge was. She ordered the Tsimhoni kids ages 14,10 and 9 to have a “healthy relationship” with their father. READ MORE HERE

The saga of the Tsimhoni children continued today as dozens of friends rallied to have them released after they were sent to a detention center for disobeying a judge’s orders. Today, Taryn Asher dug up the court transcript that includes the stunning comments the judge made to the kids in court two weeks ago.

NOTE: Dreamcatchers for Abused Children is sharing this story because we are concerned about the children’s well-being. For those asking, we are very well aware of what parental alienation is. We have covered this subject repeatedly on this site; I was also a victim to this as a child. Regardless of what the issues are between the husband and wife, the focus should be on the children and their best interest. Our concern is for the welfare of the children and the fact that they were just sentenced to juvy until the age of 18! What this judge did is immoral and incomprehensible! Imagine if ALL family court judges ordered the children of divorced parents to be incarcerated — what kind of future would those children have? These children need love, security, understanding, and stability. Being separated from their family, and placed into a juvenile detention hall, is going to cause life-long trauma, PTSD, and emotional issues. I pray these children are not harmed while incarcerated! So, please keep the “mother – father” agenda separate from the issue we are focusing on — the children!

The 36-year-old Altice was initially free while her case played out, but was sent to jail in January after it emerged that she continued a sexual relationship with one of the then 17-year-old boys while she was out on bail.  Her lawyer said Altice is a damaged person who gave into daily flirtations from the boys because she was belittled at home and dealing with self-esteem problems.

capture-20150707-225807ZIONSVILLE, Indiana – FBI agents and Indiana State Police raided the home of Subway restaurant spokesman Jared Fogle on Tuesday, removing electronics from the property and searching the house with a police dog, two months after the then-executive director of Fogle’s foundation was arrested on child pornography charges. FBI agent Wendy Osborne said the agency was conducting an investigation in Zionsville, an affluent Indianapolis suburb, but wouldn’t say whether it involved Fogle or describe the nature of the investigation. Subway said in a statement that it is “very concerned” about the raid, which it believes “is related to a prior investigation” of a former employee of the Jared Foundation, an organization founded by Fogle to raise awareness about childhood obesity. Subway did not immediately say whether that employee was former foundation executive director Russell Taylor. READ MORE HERE
