Judge Judy needs flogging

So there I was, sitting on the settee watching ten minutes of Wimbledon while I drank my coffee and prepare for some work I am going to do later tonight. The match finished after five minutes and I started flicking through the channel listings. "Wow," I thought to myself, "Judge Judy, haven't seen that for a while." and I started to watch it.

It turns out that a couple (The Z's) with 4 children, two older boys and two younger girls, had the eldest girls best friend (girl A) stay over. During the course of the evening girl A got a tattoo without her parents consent. In the UK we are a little more lenient with things like sex, which anyone can have fun with if they are 16 or over, whereas the US doesn't allow sex until 18. At the time of the tattoo girl A is 16 - and here we two nations are in agreement, 18 is the age at which you can legally have a tattoo, and not a day before. There was drinking of alcohol involved, legally UK=18 whereas US=21, and girl A was under-age by either standard. The tattooing was performed at Mr Z's neighbours house in his basement, as his family was out that night, and the drinking and tattooing went on until 2 AM - at which point Mr Z goes home leaving his daughter and girl A with the neighbour. Mr Z says that the often leaves his children with the neighbour and this is not unusual.


The girl shows the tattoo, it is the outline of a heart, about half an inch across, and delicately positioned over her right hip. So, with the basics set out, we can see that there are several issues already. It can't possibly get any worse surely? Drinking alcohol under-age, having a tattoo under-age, children up until the early hours of the morning, I'm sure we can see that this is going to be messy.



My coffee finished, I remain watching as this is going to be interesting. How will Judge Judy respond?


For Fuck's Sake! Apparently the issue is not the under-age drinking, the children being up until 2 am, nor the underage tattooing - apparently Judge Judy thinks that the error of judgement was leaving the two girls with the neighbour. She even goes on to tell Mr Z that if she had found that he had left his two daughters with the neighbour she would have called child protective services to have them taken away from him.


WTF!!! Apparently all men, even those that you trust, and have known for years, and have baby-sat your children in the past, will instantly try and fuck your teenage dughters because they cannot resist it. All it takes for a man to do that is to be left alone with girls in the house!


Judge Judy, and anyone who thinks like her should be publicly flogged. If that is how Americans run their country I am disgusted.
