    1. If he keeps doing this kind of crap, he deserves to be terminated for the well being of our community. Michel is Judge Rossell’s little Frankenstein. Rossell was the main supporter of his nomination. One of these days, his LIBERAL bonds will end in tragedy, and the People will be furious. Start doing things right, Michel. Two years in the job, and you haven’t learned a single thing.

  1. First of all, this is absolutely not true whatsoever. What has been said is a complete misrepresentation of the truth. Neither father has stepped up to help my sister in the ways being suggested in fact, one of them was absent for years and has no custody 
    My sister has never abused her children. The reality is that her 12-year-old daughter is struggling with deep grief after the recent loss of her siblings, along with the weight of past trauma. On top of this, my sister herself has suffered the heartbreaking loss of her babies during pregnancy. Despite carrying this pain, she continues to do everything in her power to care for her children.
    Her 12-year-old daughter has also been fighting an uphill battle at school. She has been bullied since last year, and the school has failed to properly address the situation. Now, with this new school year just beginning, the bullying has already continued. Naturally, this has created tension between her and her siblings, but these are normal struggles for children who are grieving and trying to process so much hurt.
    The accusations against my sister are not only cruel and unfair, but they also attempt to paint her as a “monster,” when in reality she is the complete opposite. She does not allow her children to hit one another, and she does not hit them either. In fact, she has been the one consistently asking for help taking her daughter to therapy, attending court hearings, and standing by her daughter’s side to ensure she receives justice, safety, and peace.
    The truth is, my sister has always gone above and beyond for her kids. She has carried the responsibilities the fathers have failed to take on, and she has never once abandoned her children. She has been by their side since day one, and she remains their strongest protector and advocate.

    2. …. so the cops and witnesses are all liars..
      Nice dissertation.
      I’m sure your sister loves that you gave an in detail spreadsheet of her entire life.
      You’re both nut jobs.

  3. WTF is wrong with Michel? He is proving himself unworthy of any empathy. I suppose someone will have to give him a good, old fashioned kick in the ass to wake him up. Our intake court is headless, managed remotely by the Jerkman and friends. Wake up Bill 🙁

  4. My niece hitting her siblings that won’t be allowed and let alone to hit her either mother .WHOCH SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPEN and my niece is a mess and sobbing because she feels horrible for what happened and the fact that she fouvjt her mother and now her mother is in trouble over things that got blown out of this world complete… And as far as the bullying part that even though her child was bullied she refuses to let her child to become a bully herself. which is what she began doing. My sister is trying her best to help her daughter in every way possible that the father has never once done. He doesn’t even ask my sister how the court goes for his daughter my sister does it all herself despite all the pain she is going through herself and crying that she doesn’t want to show up to court for her child by herself . Yet he still hasn’t showed up. It’s understandable for individuals to be upset over a situation like this however.. IF IT WAS ACCURATE !!!! So stop speaking on what you all clearly don’t fucking know if the things were accurate the DA HIMSELF wouldn’t have told the judge to drop the bond from 11000 to 1500 and the judge himself saying even lower because the story sounds RIDICULOUS. My nieces and nephews seriously just want to go home to their mother. Especially the 12 year old she’s heart broken and having a meltdown because the way things flipped to much more . she just wants her mom.
    And maybe add my sister has zero criminal record besides a DUI from YEARS AGO. And that’s not even considered criminal in the state of Wisconsin!! she’s that type of person that avoids doing shit that will get her in trouble so she just works SOMETIMES NUMEROUS JOBS DUE TO THE FATHERS NOT HELPING CORRECTLY. ALSOOOOO LETS ADD IN THAT THIS MAN WASNT EVEN IN THE COURT ROOM TO MAKE THIS POST SI HE DIDNT HEAR WHAT WAS ACTUALLY SAID !!!!!! HE IS ALWAYS POSTING STUPID SHIT WHICH IS THE REASON HE IS GETTING IN TROUBLE AT THE MOMENT FOR OVER SHARING HES ALSO THE PIECE OF SHIT THAT OVER SHARED MY NIECES PERSON COURT CASE OVER SHARING DETAILS ON A MINOR THAT WERE INCORRECT DUE TO SOMEONE ELSE COMMITTING A CRIME TO MY NIECE HE SHOULD OVER SHARE THAT INDIVIDUALS INFORMATION NOT A 12 UEAR OLD CHILDS. HE NEEDS TO LOOSE HIS JOB AND LEARN RESPECT. WITH HIS IM A CARING MARRIED MAN AND FATHER MY FUCKINGGGG ASSSSSS
    And I’m not excluding “witnesses” however “witnesses” only saw what happened outside not what was happening behind closed doors before it led to this. And if “witnesses” is her father maybe he should have stepped up when my sister was crying and needing help to help their child get better mentally instead of pushing everything on my sister’s plate not giving a fuck. My sister mentions her attitude and the way she acts and he brushes it off FOR YEARS especially the YEARS HE WASNT AROUND. I understand the topic is touchy but once again if you dont know the exact story from INSIDE THE HOUSE AND OUTSIDE THE HOUSE THEN SHUT THE FUCK UP. This is the same “respectful man. Husband and father” that aired out my nieces assault against her. He should have made the other individual look bad yes but not over share information about my sister’s minors as in names. Ages. WHERE THE ARE LIVING !!! All in the post that he even mixed the words up of the 12 year olds. And one of the witnesses is her neighbor who called someone close to my sister stating that they are doing my sister so wrong right now outside of her house and that my niece was explaining she was alright but her father who had disappeared for years was demanding for her to be checked. Her father ” a witness” has a record that he thinks we don’t know the truth on what happened and WE DO !! so perhaps he should take that into consideration that we never aired out the things hes done illegally which was something horrible and as a parent of more than just my niece. Because there’s numerous. So let’s just throw that out there my sister has always given him a free card when in reality he begs her not to take him to court all the time and she hasn’t out of respect !!!!! I understand my sister and niece had an altercation but it was made into something way more and he showed up at the outside part not the part when they were in the house that led up to it. And I’ll just throw out there if ANY OF YOU EVER HIT YOUR MOTHER IN THE FACE IM PRETTY SURE YOU ALSO WOULD BE IN TROUBLE. MY SISTER WAS TRYYYYYYONG TO SIMPLY GROUND HER DAUGHTER AND EVERYTHING EXPLODED AFTER THE FACT
    Another thing. If she was this horrible monster she’s painted out to be… The DA wouldn’t have dropped the bond as much and the judge even more than the da as well. Anddddd she wouldn’t be able to have her other children already which she has court documents that she is able to get her younger children right now and hopefully her oldest daughter after her next court because she wants to be home with her mom and siblings. She’s hurt over the entire scenario and just wants to be back home in her comfort zone

  5. April, stop explaining yourself to these people. There is nothing you can say to change who they are and how they feel about this bad and what should be personal situation. Your time and energy is needed somewhere else. God bless.
