Courageous legislator on CT Family Court: ‘It sure ain’t America’
Cool Justice: Courageous legislator on CT Family Court: ‘It sure ain’t America’ – Estate of Denial:

This ground is incredibly fertile for responsible legislators and reporters to uncover which court shafts citizens worse – probate or family. Both courts share the shield of doing much of their business out of public view.

Contempt of Court Jail Sentence when Child Refuses Parenting Time Upheld
Stuart Showalter Law Blog: Contempt of Court Jail Sentence when Child Refuses Parenting Time Upheld - Indiana Court of Appeals:
Oh those contentious parents who make child rearing a battle ground. In one of the most vociferous battles that I have encountered as of late is that of Paula Rorer Hubbard and William Shane Rorer. Mother was found to be in contempt of Father's parenting time and appealed. The appellate panel rendered its decision on Monday 14 April 2014 in an unpublished opinion. The appeal arose under Mother's argument that she was found to be in contempt of court and sentenced to a term of confinement, suspended, based upon inadmissible evidence and an improperly imposed jail sentence. The case originated in the Warrick Circuit Court where the Honorable David O. Kelley, Judge, presided.

New thinking on brain-science therapies could help foster kids - The Denver Post:
Therapies based on brain science — and limited use of antipsychotic medications — are the answer for thousands of foster kids whose traumatic childhoods have left them with depression and extreme aggression, according to a growing number of experts. Many children taking antipsychotic medications do not have psychosis but trauma-induced behavioral problems with symptoms that mimic mental illness, researchers and child advocates said.
