Stephen Henderson talks with Larry Dubin, Professor of Law at the University of Detroit Mercy, and Renee Beeker, President and founder of the National Family Court Watch Project, about Oakland County Judge Lisa Gorcyca’s controversial decision to detain three children caught in a custody battle. Gorcyca initially ordered the children to Children’s Village—a juvenile detention facility—because they refused to comply with her order that they eat lunch with their father. They are now at a summer camp after public backlash to the judge’s order. Both Dubin and Beeker talk about the role of the court in personal disputes, how court battles affect kids, and what the system should look like for families in difficult situations.
