Lunch with Dad isn't supposed to be by force?!

Image result for judge detaining childrenThe children were sent to a juvenile detention facility for defying her orders while in court that they go to lunch with their father. 

Earlier versions of this story reported the oldest boy was 15 years old based on what the boy told the judge in court. Multiple documents in federal records show the boy just turned 14. Three Oakland County children who refused to go to lunch with their father, as part of a bitter divorce and custody battle between their parents, are spending their summer in the county's juvenile detention center, according to court records.

"We'll review it when school starts, and you may be going to school there," Oakland County Family Court Judge Lisa Gorcyca told the children during a June 24 hearing, referring to the center in Waterford Township called Children's Village, where authorities house as many as 200 juvenile offenders.
Gorcyca, who blamed their mother for poisoning the children's attitude toward their father, ordered the children be sent to the center for defying her orders — while in court — that they go to lunch with their father.
The children — ranging in age from 9 to 14 — were deemed in contempt of court last month by Gorcyca for disobeying her orders to "have a healthy relationship with your father."
