I have respect for the fact that Anna keeps calm, this Richard guy...I would have killed him, a few times now. That is not a human being. He seems more like a psychopath who hates families..and children. The poor boy, having to go through such trauma, it's just horrible. What a terrible and sad story. All these lives destroyed and unsettled just because they play their power games. These judges should be put out of office, just for letting these things drag on for so long. They don't seem to know what kind of damage it does. I can't believe these people have families of their own and can't see what this could do to anyone...I can't help but think: they are raising their own kids to be cold and heartless to others as well. :(

Anna had one Judge that really cared and was seriously frustrated by the games that MCFD played. It seemed that his hands were legally tied though. If the Social Workers and their lawyer(s) knew how to play the system, the Judge would look clearly upset and aggravated ... but could do nothing about it. One time the Social Worker had arrived at the court but discovered that it would be the good Judge -- so he went next door for a coffee and the lawyer told the Judge that the Social Worker could not make it and the date would have to be postponed. (They wanted a different Judge.) The Judge was clearly upset but cancelled the hearing.
There was more than one occasion too when the Social Workers simply refused to obey the Judge's orders.
The whole legal system surrounding CPS/MCFD cases needs to revamped. The legal framework is at fault for allowing these abuses to continue.
I always imagine what kind of life they had before they took on a job like that and then turn it into something so evil. What kind of people are behind this and I sometimes feel for their families, who have to suffer their iron hand as well. How can these people come home to their families and look them in the eye knowing they are ruining lives of families and children when they leave the house. I just don't get it. And the social workers refusing to obey the judge's orders is just showing how much they think to be above the law. Yes, a revamp is needed big time.
