I think the punishment is extreme, but if that’s the rule, then the rule should be changed before exceptions are made. Everyone has “special circumstances.”

A travesty! I’m so tired of all the idiots in Texas. And, so are all my fellow Texan friends.

my friend’s mother-in-law makes $85 every hour on the computer. She has been out of a job for 6 months but last month her paycheck was $19177 just working on the computer for a few hours. Read more here ====>>  ⇛⇛⇛⇛► startworkat.blogspot.com

What I’m seeing with horror and sadness is that the real story is getting buried in the rush to mock Texas and make the judge look like a monster. Let’s instead analyze what’s going on.

First, it’s dubious that the parents really divorced because the family court would have made provisions for the children. It sounds like they have instead separated and abandoned the kids. So why has everyone around the children enabled this? Why has no one called CPS to get the parents to pay child support?

Diane was working 48 hours a week in addition to attending school. Why did her employers work her the way they did? She’s a minor. They knew she was in school, and they knew how exhausted she was.

This actually makes the family that took her in look worse. That family’s name is Elliot, so they can’t claim that in their culture it’s ok to work girls that hard. And why did they take her in and then provide no kind of adult support when they obviously knew she had none? Why didn’t Mary Elliot go to court with Diane back in April to explain to the judge what was going on? Why didn’t Mary Elliot go to the school to explain the situation? Even better, why did Mary Elliot continue working Diane despite knowing that she was so tired she couldn’t get up in the morning?

And what’s this about Diane having to send money to an older brother who is in college? Unlike Diane, he must be an adult. I know college is absurdly expensive, but that’s what loans are for.

Meanwhile, it looks like Diane just kept it all inside and never told the judge or anyone at school what was going on. The reports now are that she’s mortified and distraught because she believes she has brought dishonor upon her family. Isn’t that monstruous? Far from being a victim of “the system,” it sounds like Diane has been victimized by those around her. There should be a criminal investigation into her family and her employers.

This Judge has been fined for ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN PAYMENT AND ETHICS VIOLATION. Who is he to uphold the law or judge others. Get rid ofhim. Twitter Governor Rick Perry and SHAME him on taking action for Diane.

She is a young woman of honor who doesnt blame her parents or want to embarass them. She is proud, not asking for handout or welfare. I read that her mom left the family and that her father works too late to come home and she stays with the family of her employers. We dont know the whole truth and wedont know if she is supporting her siblings or saving for her own education.

Why no outrage at the people who allowed it? The fact that she’s not asking for a handout or welfare shouldn’t allow people to exploit her. She’s a highschool student. It’s not legal for her to work 40 hours a week, much less the 48 that she works.

And it doesn’t matter that the mom left the family and that the dad works late. They are still legally required to support their children. Why no outrage? This “we don’t know the truth” is just cowardly BS. Much more fun to pile on the judge, eh?
