>  Summary:  Judge Amy is hearing a case where a 6 year old boy has been
>  removed from the home because he is breastfeeding (taken right out of a
>  recent actual US case).  .... Throughout the mother is portrayed as
fanatic and domineering of  her  husband - she speaks out of turn in court,
tells her husband what to say
>  while he is on the stand, and glares a lot! ...  In court Judge Amy
declared that this was a
>  "silly" case, where one member of the family was pushing her own beliefs
on
>  the rest who were "walking on eggshells" around her.  The judge said that
>  breastfeeding a 6 year old in this day and in North America was not
right,
>  and she would not be moved by what was done in other times or cultures.
As
>  the family left the courtroom, the father held back and whispered to her,
> "Thanks, Judge."
>
> Sigh.
