"In a ruling that one attorney tells Yahoo Parenting is flat-out ‘bizarre,' a judge sent three kids to a Juvenile Detention facility for being in contempt of court and refusing to go to lunch with their father.
‘I felt like I was watching them be executed,’ Maya Eibschitz-Tsimhoni, the mother of the children, ages 15, 10, and 9, told Fox 2 about the mandate from Oakland County Circuit Judge Lisa Gorcyca during a hearing about supervised parenting time with her ex-husband, Omer Tsimhoni, in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, on June 24.
'No matter how bad the divorce gets, I think the court should not punish the kids for that.'
But the kids were punished for not submitting to the judge’s demand that they foster a ''healthy relationship' with their dad, according to Fox 2.
'There is no reason why you do not have a relationship with your father,' another outlet reports the judge told the eldest child in court, during the latest episode in a bitter family feud that has included allegations of abuse and fear of parental kidnapping.” *
