AnnE-girl Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I saw that earlier today. Even if the mother is guilty of parental alienation, sending the kids to detention has to be way more damaging than their lack of relationship with the dad. My heart breaks for those poor kids. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Good heavens. :eek: Does anyone know the details of the case? I think it is ridiculous and horrible that the children are being treated like criminals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umsami Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I grew up in Oakland County. Mom (in the case) is a physician. Dad is a GM executive. The kids grew up in Bloomfield Hills, which is a very wealthy area. They are now in a juvenile place in Pontiac. It's got to be very traumatic. I am baffled by the judge's reaction. I don't care how bad the kids are, if you think one parent is causing alienation, you punish the parent, not a 9, 10, and 15 year old. She said they can stay there until they're 18. WTF. She also said they can't have any contact with each other. These kids are not criminals. I strongly strongly suspect that the Dad has NPD. There's no other excuse (IMHO) for his running off to Israel for weeks and leaving his kids to rot in jail....with no visitation (Mom was barred as well.) I also don't think he's so wonderful (as the judge does)....because why did he have supervised visitation? The judge talks about how wonderful he is and she can't understand why the kids don't see that. NPD. The 15 year old testified because he saw his Dad hit his Mom. Judge says there's no court record. Hello??? Most abusers don't have court records....and among the higher incomes, it's even less likely. Reading the court transcript is very disturbing. I think the judge should be removed. Stuff like this scares the crap out of me. 34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I agree that the judge should be removed. She sounds as though she is too personally and emotionally involved in the case and is punishing the children like she is an angry parent and not a supposedly-impartial officer of the court. And is it just me, or wouldn't a good father have visited those kids the first day he was able to, and then insisted they be released from confinement? In my mind, only a truly horrible parent would want his children separated from each other and confined against their will for an indefinite period of time. Is that even a legal thing that the judge did? The kids committed no crime. Maybe the mom did poison the kids' minds against their father... or maybe the father's behavior did it for her. Whatever the case, it is ludicrous that the kids are being held against their will when their mom is available to care for them. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlett Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 It caught my attention because of my dss18 who has refused to see his father for 3 years. Dh is devastated by it. But no way he would want the kid in juvenile detention over it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlett Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 And how can that judge strip the mother of her parental rights that way? That seems insane. The story has broke nationally and I do not believe those kids will. Stay in juvenile detention for much longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie_0801 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 If there are court orders that the kids are to see their father, the mother has to make sure it happens whether the kids want to or not. The only thing the mother can legally do is go back to court and cross her fingers. Or that's how it is here. Court ordered abuse happens. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MomatHWTK Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 IMO, if the issue really was one of the mother behaving badly (alienation, etc.) then the children should be placed in foster care, not detention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a presumptive choice. The judge can overrule him if she decides it's not in his best interest, but that takes a court challenge. Rarely is the law focused on the child's rights. He's usually treated more like property. The parents have rights. I wonder how many parents this whackadoodle judge has thrown in jail for skipping visitation? Probably zero. Those children should not be in juvenile detention! It's often worse than adult jail. Was there a case brought against them by the DA? Being incarcerated without charges or adjudication is totally abusive. The judge and these parents should all be sent there for some tough love. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes in most states a child over about age 12 can decide which parent he will live with, absent neglect or abuse. That is a totally separate thing from visitation. Visitation is not suspended lightly. So a child can choose which parent you want to live with but you cannot say you no longer want to have visitation with the other parent.

So a child can choose which parent you want to live with but you cannot say you no longer want to have visitation with the other parent. They're interrelated. Most have "reasonable visitation" verbiage. What's reasonable? What parent would rather have his child in jail than non get visited? If a kid refuses to go, normally the custodial parent would be charged with contempt. That doesn't make any sense to me either unless the CP is interfering with visitation. Dad shows up and kids aren't there because mom has taken them off someplace? That's contemptuous. Dad shows up, Mom has kid's bags packed, hasn't been filling the child's head with lies, and kid refuses to get in the car? That should not be on Mom. FWIW, I began refusing overnight visitation with my mother when she hooked up with a drug addicted creep when I was 13. I told her that I was not going to be spending the night at their apartment. She chose not to change her lifestyle. I guess she could've gone to court and tried to have my dad held in contempt, but she had no money and didn't care. Usually there's a reason the child doesn't want to visit, and a good parent will try to figure it out rather than have their children or the custodial parent thrown in jail or fined. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually there's a reason the child doesn't want to visit, and a good parent will try to figure it out rather than have their children or the custodial parent thrown in jail or fined. Most custody papers have specific visitation. But my point is a 12 year old can go to court and decide which parent he wants to live with but he cannot go to court and stop all visitation. If a kid doesn't want to go to visitation it is very stressful. That is how my son is. He is 15 and he hates going. Sure there are reasons, but the reasons are not good enough and he has to go if his dad says so. I MAKE him go. If a CP can't make their teen do something that means she can't control her child. More likely doesn't want to. I dont know a lot about this story, but I see nothing to indicate the father would rather have his kids in juvenile lock up than allow them to sever ties with him. He went to court to enforce his legal visitation. I doubt he ever imagined the judge would go so nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mama Geek Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 25 years ago I went a long time without seeing my dad. He berated me and said lots of horrible things about my mom after they separated. I can still remember calling my mom on Christmas Eve in tears at the age of 13 to come pick me up. I would have been devastated if a judge pulled me out of my mom's home because of it. I am not saying my mom was an angel, just that my father did it on his own. That said, there is a good chance that the father is the reason that the kids don't want to go with him. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barnwife Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 If a CP can't make their teen do something that means she can't control her child. More likely doesn't want to. I have to say something about this. This seems quite presumptive. I mean, I know a 17 yo boy who is easily 6'5 and big. If his parents weren't together, and mom was supposed to make him go visit dad, how should she do so if he doesn't want to? I mean, there's no way his teeny, tiny mom could physically pick him up and buckle him in the car like I do my 2 yo. Obviously, I am not in this situation. But something about what you said really rubs me the wrong way. Especially the part about a parent in such a situation not wanting too. I can easily imagine quite a few scenarios in which a CP would be trying to do the right thing, and an almost adult child refusing. Back on topic, I agree with the many pp who think it is ridiculous to punish the children. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said there is a big difference between a 17 year old refusing and a 15 yo refusing.

Part of being a parent is loving the child, even when he is unloving towards you, and hoping he will eventually come around. He may not have considered all the consequences, but that's part of growing up. I'm curious as to what caused the confrontation. Did the dad seek to force visitation and the kids were refusing to see him? This is a bit like Solomon and the baby. Does the dad enforce his visitation rights and inflict more emotional harm on his kids? Or does he keep trying to be a good dad and respect their choices? Plus, the dad going on a business trip right after his kids were locked away - what a piece of work. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't wrap my head around thinking kids get to decide what they will do. 15 year olds aren't mature enough to make their own decisions especially about something as Important as a relationship with their parents.

Respect for my feelings and wishes is what earned my parent repeated chances. While that never worked out long-term, fueling resentment certainly wouldn't have helped.

I think a NCP who insists on all visitations against the wishes of the child is setting up a situation which will only breed resentment. But my understanding is that these kids refuse to see their father at all. And in my Dss' case he has also severed all ties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dad stated he lived in Michigan in the Observer interview. In the transcript, the children's attorneys reference having just been assigned (and also talk about appointments later in the day - obviously focused on the case at hand /sarcasm). At first, I wondered if the mother was being manipulative then after further thought, realized it doesn't matter in terms of the children's treatment by the court. If the kids need therapy, require it. If the mother is inflicting harm, remove the children from her care. The judge talks about cells and people watching the children go to the bathroom. She claims they can stay in custody until 18. That is NOT appropriate. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlett Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 http://everything-pr.com/omer-tsimhoni-maya-eibschitz-legal-case/258402/ Definitely more the story. Read the court filing on here. Multiple therapists and GAL are in agreement that Mom has been the culprit in alienation. The kids need therapy. The Mom is in contempt and Dad lives out of the country. The kids will get the counseling they NEED in the facility. The children's attorneys did not object to the orders of the judge which is telling. I am pretty sure the dad lives in MI. They moved to Israel while still married and when she came back to Michigan he followed her so he could be near his children. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
