In reply to the discussion: Biden commutes sentence for Kids-for-Cash judge [View all]Freddie
(9,788 posts)40. WRONG, Mr. President!
My son was involved in the juvenile courts at the time this case was happening. He was no angel but he certainly didnt deserve a prison sentence. Thankfully we live in another county and he was treated fairly. What happened to those kids kept me up at night. How could a judge even call himself human to deliberately inflict pain on CHILDREN to line his pocket?? They deserved life with no parole. Did the kids get any restitution? Free state university would have been a good start.
