Judge Bartles - Emergency Removal - Part One 

That may be why the judge just cut her off and didn't wait for her to get her audio working. After a statement like that, it's obvious she really doesn't want to be there. And it's a subliminal indication that she doesn't even care about having her kids.

Yeah, go figure?

She was the only one who seems to genuinely care about those poor babies

There are follow ups very soon!

@@OnTropolis- oh, now I am excited!

Love that judge ordered that Ms Zorn to not spoil the kids to much. Ms Zorn seems like a protective steady influence for the children.

Couldn’t agree more ❤

@PamelaH_HappyVibes completely agree but we know she cares it does mean that she can financially care for them or emotionally. We don't know her physical or mental health

Exactly! No food, no running water, no electricity! This CPS worker wants us to believe the children were in appropriate condition with no concerns? Two drunk parents, an "extremely deplorable" house and an empty fridge, I'm sure the kids were in great shape. Eye roll I mean it's not like you need running water to wash your hands or flush the toilet...oh wait! I'm sure the bug bites while sleeping the child complained of aren't at all a bed bug infestation... Casually saying 30 days is the best case scenario for Ms. Zorn being approved is irritating too. This whole video pissed me off. The only reason she took her kid back was the thought of paying child support. Wouldn't want to cut into her government assistance. Gross gross gross. Poor kids

Because they believe reunification is best. Regardless of how much it puts the child thru. I've been a foster/adoptive parent for over 30 years. I'm sadly on my last foster children. I just cannot deal with how things have changed over the years. The parents are given so many chances to get it right. Some do and those moments are wonderful! But too many just do the bare minimum and keep getting and losing their children. They go from chaos, weeks to months for them to settle into stability only to be put back in chaos months to years later. And repeat over and over. No one seems to care about how all the craziness effects these children. It does. I've watched children go from babies to teens in and out of care and it never ends with a happy well adjusted teen. Sorry to rant.

Because the judge is an IDIOT.

Because it's a legal requirement to offer visitation

@@kimberlymarino7344you are so right on every point. I work in the system and I can’t think of any situation where we tell adults in abusive situations to go back -or you have to visit your abuser -yet we expect it of our most innocent -just so sad! Thank you for putting your heart on the line as a foster parent❤

They were probably were getting snap too and allegedly selling their snap for cash!

Ur right.. but what’s worse seeing kids with addicts as parents or let cps take them and the get beat and raped

Growing up my family was a foster home. We had one baby when he was 2, after a yr and half they sent him back. A few months later we got him back after being in the hospital from his parents burning him all over his body with cigarettes "to teach him not to get in the ash tray". We adopted him but unfortunately he always dealt with severe behavior issues, even as an adult. He was born addicted to meth, had detachment disorder, adhd, later bipolar etc. Despite being in a loving home, the damage his parents did were too great to overcome. So very sad. On a positive note, we adopted 2 other children who are wonderful successful adults now. I saw many parents get their shit together & had successful reunification. But I saw plenty of stufff that was heartbreaking.

I can also say there are great cps workers & horrible ones. I worked for CASA for many years. Through working in the courts and being a foster home, I have seen alot of very baised cps caseworkers who are on power trips & really over-reach. Anytime cps gets involved its a very risky situation of it they will do the right thing for these families or not. They have alot of power that can manipulate the court.

THE ALCOHOLIC NEEDS TO BE FED TO THE PTSD2 COMPLEX RED BELLIED PIRANHAS

This

this is typical

My thoughts exactly.

Preach!

And it gets on my last nerve when she says she “assumes”! Court is NO PLACE for your ASSUMPTIONS!

Totally agree. I hope that they can get this done asap. These kids need to be with someone who truly loves and wants them.

I feel like she’s new or overworked with many cases.

Sounds like children services 😂

Just how many cases do you think she has?? Case workers are overwhelmed overworked. She was called out to the situation at 1 o’clock in the morning. How many of these cases do you think she does? There is a very big shortage in foster care, parents or parent that can take these children I think under the circumstances she has done well.

@@sheiladiaz2359 Its still not good enough. Poor kids.

@@debbiemohekey1509exactly when HUMAN lives are in your hands you need to do everything you can for their best interest. She just assembly lined those kids.

He's not in an office, nor is he alone. He's in a court room with a balifs and a clerk and a court reporter and multiple people for in person court and all the people that are in and out of a busy courthouse. Also, he wore a mask before covid, he has mentioned it on occasion because he has some immunity issues. All that said, why do so many people care about a personal choice that doesn't affect them?

@@OnTropolis still it’s eccentric. Show me where this judge wore a mask before Covid. I would literally stand corrected if such existed.

@@lisaann3840 well considering court didn't stream on RU-vid before covid I can't. I've been watching since long before I started creating court content and he has mentioned it numerous times. Again tho, you assume a person exists in that little zoom square and I find that funny. Surrounded by people in a public place and with an immune disorder is a perfectly reasonable circumstance for him to choose to mask if it makes him more comfortable.

I wear masks in public. I have chronic illnesses and I'm immunosuppressed.

​@lisaann3840 That's ridiculous. People wore masks in public and at work before covid. I had a friend who wore a mask and rubber gloves in public because of her cancer treatment in the late 90s. Masks in public has been common in many counties across the world pre covid. It's not eccentric to safeguard your health, especially for those with medical conditions that make them or a loved one vulnerable. It's bizarre that you demand proof of prior mask use to justify someone's personal decision to use a mask.

By the very nature of Stipulations, stipulation must be agreed to by both (all) sides.

@@North_West1 Yes, I know. So, rather than rely on custody arrangements that are stipulated to by parents (who can then rescind their agreement), my comment was suggesting that a concerned relative who wants to protect children long-term should file a guardianship action where a parent's stipulation is not required as long as you can prove parental unfitness to the Court.

​@@-HeyLyd-very well said dear. Points are 100% valid and right on the nose . ❤

I agree! I hope they get permanently placed with her!

🙌

It was irritating to hear the reaction of the caseworker, like it was a bother to get the process expedited and rolling.

Right. Kids should not have to pay the price for their parent's MH issues, especially when parent is irresponsible about their treatment

I agree about the safety of children. There are bipolar people everywhere. Most people live very normal lives and nurture their children. They are, however, subjected to the same biological and stressful life events as the rest of us. Life events and medical events can spin any of us out of our safety zones and into crisis. Please have compassion. Most people live normal lives...until they/we don't or can't. Medicine can only help...it isn't a cure.

@sherryd.3425 I agree with you. I have several bipolar friends, & 1 bipolar schizophrenia friend. I have watched them do well, & I have watched them struggle. With 1 in particular, I have watched his children suffer too. At this moment, I am quite concerned about my bipolar schizophrenic friend, as she has just suffered a life shattering loss of an 11 yr old child who has been ill since birth. She seems to be holding on right now, but we are all ready to catch her, should she need us to. Drugs are not always the answer, but sometimes they are. In the end, children should not have to suffer. In the end, we also absolutely need better mental health services around the world!

Most people diagnosed with bipolar don't have it. Seroquel is a very expensive drug, and psychiatrist just dole out to anybody who says they feel good one day and feel bad the other. And the pharmaceutical companies then give the psychiatrists incentives for prescribing their new comic expensive drugs. And was bipolar disorder, you can describe two drugs, one for the highs, and one for the lows. Cha ching cha ching. Most people diagnosed with bipolar disorder have mood or personality disorders, not chemical imbalances. It's like going to the doctor because you don't know how to walk, but they give you pills for your headache. That's not going to teach you how to walk. In fact, that might make your brain feel even worse.

@JeremiahLOsborne I don't disagree with you at all on the big pharma! They wine & dine doctors, whether Psychiatrists or GPs, & drugs are regularly prescribed that may not be needed at all, or a much cheaper version is available. That being said, IF a parent has mental health issues that are effecting, & sometimes traumatizing children, THAT is not fair to the children.

The mom

These people are NOT adult enough to do anything else so how would they know how to do zoom?? They easily do what is free and easy, have FREE sex and get high

If you have empathy for people who are trying to do better, how do you feel about them before they realize they need to try to get better?

@@JeremiahLOsborne I do have some empathy for them because I do know what that feels like. What I don’t have empathy for or very little are those who are given chance after chance after chance…then they get before a judge and they bring up their children and how they need to do better for them but don’t seem to put forth the same energy before they are facing jail time or prison. They think about them then but not before or if they do it’s not that important till court. I understand there’s a lot of people who have a very hard time actually coming to grips with the fact of where they are in their lives. It’s mostly the ones with children who I get upset with when they’ve been arrested for the same things over and over and offered help over and over but blow that help…until court…for the 3rd or 4th time but now “realizing” they need to help themselves to be there for their kids. Some are actually so bad off they can’t come in out of the rain by themselves…and that’s sad. How many chances do you give a person? When do you take that opportunity and give it to someone else? If there are kids involved then they are in the situation as long as you are…unless they’ve either given up their rights or had them terminated. I also get that drugs & alcohol will absolutely take over a person’s life…I also realize a person will have to fight to get better. There needs to be something to get your attention.

@@patriciaevans5906 If someone is sick, how many chances do you give them? It's obvious that the father is an alcoholic, and Mom has some emotional issues. The children are being neglected, but the adults are also neglecting themselves. That should be an indicator that their behaviors are not directed towards the children. And neither should you be angry with the parents, if you understand that they are sick. You can give a sick person as many chances as You want, but sick people don't make choices to be sick. And if they can get over their problems, so be it. But some people can't. Some people kill themselves because they can't get over their problems. We don't demonize them, but have the utmost empathy. That person has taken a physical action to relieve their pain. Which is the same thing that drug addicts and alcoholics do. That's why you must have just as much empathy for the parents as you do the children. I shouldn't have to qualify my comment by adding that I don't condone the activities of the parents. I am providing an objective analysis.

Lol😂

Thank you so much 😊😁😌

@@OnTropolis ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you. Not going to listen to all of it. Too upsetting. Done with these bad judges.

I think row house is what she meant. Similar to how one story motels are built.

Right! I said “it’s a whattt?!” 😂

I agree!

@@amberstorm1139 sure they are making everything up. The kids have no electricity, water and have bedbug bites. The dad is an admitted alcoholic so it doesn’t matter weather he asked for a ride. There was talk of Fentanyl. There was a third party who reported that the mom said “go ahead and kill them” it wasn’t cps who said that. Where there’s smoke there’s fire and this is a high trash fire. Bad parents love to shit on CPS and it makes me laugh. CPS doesn’t KNOW you unless you are irresponsible to begin with.

It's never too late! I did an LMFT program with students who were in their 60s. Nothing wrong with a second, third, or fourth career!

It might take as much as 6 years, maybe less if you already have at least some college. Ask yourself in six years where will I be? Will I be helping children in need or will I be still be wishing I could. If you start now you will have 20 or more years to work in the field. GO FOR IT!!!

You would have a headache job. Too many people that cause constance problems for social workers plus people with erratic behaviors and social workers making home visits.

I have some adoptions coming up in the queue. I'm also ready for some light at the end of the tunnel x

*break *brakes are on your car

@@bethewalt7385 that’s what I meant, brakes on a car haha

I have wondered this my entire life. My ONLY dream in life was to have a child, I am 45 and I have never been able to have children. PCOS and severe Endemetriosis apparently robbed me of that dream. It is now robbing me of my health and, my hair...

Exactly! Thank you!

Exactly!!! I just posted a rant about that, I used to be a service social worker and I was screaming at her while watching this!!! No wonder kids get in trouble with inadequate and inappropriate placements…

I agree!

Ask better questions. 🤷

I agree the issue is in the question. They ask using negatives and get answers in the affirmative. It should be a simple yes or no question to get a simple yes or no answer.

@@sawyerthestarling The conversation typically leads into the question. They were speaking of one not having a job, so he asked if that was still the case. I do believe that’s simple enough to understand, and it is indeed a yes or no question. It’s like the saying many ruin by stating, “I could care less.” It just requires someone to think about what they’re saying. It comes across as lazy, when one doesn’t.

@@doribellan I get what you're saying. Every time I hear things like "very unique" or "I could care less" a small part of me dies. I don't like statements with a question mark on the end. I find it difficult sometimes to know exactly what they're asking but I know it's framed for a particular answer. I guess it should be answered more with a correct/incorrect response. "She doesn't have a job?" I would answer "that is correct" since yes or no would confuse the situation. I'm certainly never going to argue that people should listen more to not only others but mostly exactly what comes out of their own mouth. Words have meanings, no doubt. Seems like lots of people have forgotten that.

@@sawyerthestarling An eloquent response, no doubt! You’re right, the correct/incorrect responses are more direct and I find myself using them instead, in order to be clear. Words certainly do have meaning, although today, we see people giving the words spoken by others, far too much importance. One can only control their own words, not others,” and the recent insistence for compulsory speech is dangerous. Nice discussion, thank you! Have a wonderful day. :)

So wrong. Where is proof that any kid does better with alcoholic or drug addicted parents rather than being in safe living conditions with caring parents

California is fookt!!!

He's in a courthouse

@@OnTropolis yes, and speaking to the camera not someone standing in front of him.

You realize he's not alone, right? He doesn't live in the zoom box. He has court admin a clerk and officers all around. He does in person court as well as zoom in the same day. There's nothing wrong with an old man with immune issues (which he has mentioned he does) who works in a busy courthouse wanting to do what little he can. Why does it hurt non maskers when other people exercise their prerogative to wear one? He's not asking anyone else to

@@OnTropolis ok

​@OnTropolis I get hateful/political comments constantly in my community for wearing a mask . I work in health care , directly with patients who have compromised immune systems, so even on my off time I wear a mask in public. I don't explain, I just ignore. It's very upsetting sometimes though.

You're correct about the classification however it's definitely a medication that is abused. The intense sedative effect makes it desirable for some people. Personally I don't know why because I was briefly prescribed it for sleep and I absolutely hated it. So heavy!

As a nurse I can tell you that even some meds most would consider as not controlled substances are in fact controlled substances. Gabapentin aka Neurotin ( a seizure med with several off label uses) is a controlled substance. Lyrica (anti depressant with several off label uses) is a controlled substance etc. Seroquel is a somewhat commonly abused drug unfortunately. I've seen it multiple times at the hospital I work at. The most common form of abuse of it would be using it as a means for suicide.

​@@OnTropolisYou didn't ike because its called a liquid kosh, it knocks you out and causes memory loss

Are you insane? Seroquel is absolutely addicting and abused, I've watched 2 housemates in a share house misuse it, go crazy without it and buy it off the street when needed

@@melissakresky9186The gabapentin misuse always confuses me. I was on and off that medication (sometimes as much as 2400-3000 mg a day) for nearly a decade and it never gave me any pleasant side effects. If my pain management physicians didn’t require me to take in addition to the 24/7 needed pain meds, I would have discontinued long ago. Even after becoming so tolerant the only way I could get any sleep benefits was to take as a single large dose at night (with my doctors permission), it still didn’t make me feel high or relaxed.

I am sorry there was no one there to help you and your siblings. I can imagine there was much less help for children living like this.

Don't believe they're in socal, it's Georgia I believe

⁠@@bethewalt7385yes, this is GA. 🙄 Henry County is just south of metro Atlanta. I live north of metro Atlanta. 🙄 It’s embarrassing how inept the social worker is when it comes to doing her job. She’s not making widgets here; the life & wellbeing of children are in the balance. Ms. Zorn, the wonderful lady whose had the kids all these years, needs her approval expedited. 30 days! That’s a lifetime to a child. It doesn’t need to be a long process. Bless her, she wants to visit them. She clearly loves them, the kids love & emotionally need her. She is a savior to these kids & solves the placement problem for CPS. I’d be jumping all over the chance to help get Ms. Zorn’s paperwork done, & have her officially approved. Then I’d ensure she received every bit of support (financial or otherwise) from the County she’s eligible to receive. Those babies need her! This process is infuriating to me.

​@@bethewalt7385 she meant to say social 😂

Blame RU-vid. They don't even monetize 90% of my videos because of the content being "sensitive" then they throw in a bunch as soon as views start accumulating. I don't place them, I can't even control them. It's frustrating, I'm sorry if it's annoying

They do take photos for evidence

@OnTropolis no they dont..or not always. They are known for being liars. They're known for being more evil then good. Period. They need to be defended and they should be required to follow the law and prosecuted when busted in their bullshite

@@OnTropolis where were they then?
