Judge ordered mother not to take child to church or read her scripture

[Saltwater60]

Oh this one could get interesting to see what happens. I’m not sure how they can chose the wishes of one parent over the other on something that causes the child no harm. I mean anything can be determined to cause psychological harm. Many say disciplining your kids does that these days.

Mother says "Who the fuck are you? I'm not your property! and neither is my daughter. My daughter is my property!"

The court is overstepping here from the little bit ive read.

something that causes the child no harm.

That's the part of the equation that is not being told.

Supposedly the specific church the father fought to prevent the mother from exposing the child to is one of those fire & brimstone types. And exposure to it was harming the relationship the child had with the father.

I am not disputing these statements. However, IF there really is a cause for alarm, a temporary hold against taking the child to that specific church until the truth can be discovered harms no one.

While I’ll be the first to say there are good and bad churches and I completely agree that is probably not good for the kid if it’s that intense. The mother could say not taking her there and saving her soul is harming her as well. She is 12 so she could probably impart some of her own wisdom into this at that age and I hope that was considered.
Remember she was also told no Bible reading as well.

Their website looks like a typical modern non-denominational church.

Sadly, this is probably just two adults who can’t act like adults and the kid is caught in the middle.

Just so long as the child won't be late to the homosexual drag shows.
Fire the judge now.
Looks like they want to play survival of the fittest; they don't look that fit to me.
Would the judge be ok if it was islame?

I know a guy who got divorced and his wife is in the medical field. She is nuts. One of the unparenting types who let their kids make all their own choices. As in if you want snickers and Cheetos for dinner for a week no problem. The kids have horrible diet, hygiene, mental health, changing genders, disabled son reverts to diapers while there and not changed regularly and the judge sides with her. She make 4-5x’s what he makes and is in the medical field so she knows best. Sad thing is the kid with disabilities she could care less about and the kid he can have. The ex keeps the two girls and essentially ignores the disabled one except when it suits her needs. The courts do not do what is right. It’s all because he wanted to be a parent and not a friend. It is sad to see how unhealthy his kids look now under her care.
