Ken:
.. The courts examined that accusation and found it to be without merit. ..
According to
your legal math, and, unfortunately, what the public witnesses in courts, rulings like, “without merit,” and, “not guilty,” do NOT equate to “innocent” (of charges). No adult is truly innocent. These lesser+common rulings are often due to minor, even unrelated, legal minutia not being fully met in the court’s eyes. Victims often suffer terribly as a result. As RZehr pointed out, somewhere, it’s a legal system, not a justice system.
JJ has not been found innocent of charges, so far as i know.
While you coolly assess LM’s potential legal choices to be of
your understanding of her legal earthly options, i don’t.
i believe she and those others involved, directly, indirectly, directly through prayer, are focused on obeying Jesus Christ, relying on the Holy Spirit to guide and protect. True Power. The greatest power. The only everlasting power.
As an outsider, i see both sides.
i grieve for pagan humanists and secularists.
i, too, pray for God’s will, strength, guidance.
i grieve that so many parents, guardians, loved ones, now “next friends,” deliberately take their babies+children to courts of human law for selfish reasons. power, control, money. it’s tragic. children are harmed. some murdered in disputes.
not all damage is physical. “thousands of little cuts” to children’s senses. children have no escape.
much of this could be avoided if Jesus was the common center, not human law.
human law is a pagan idol. it will disappoint.
Jesus does not fail. no court ruling can cause Jesus to fail.
as an outsider, i pray for believers not to be overwhelmed by humanist bullies. to see matters with clarity. to not be confused by courtroom and public psychological warfare. to follow Jesus - - without
needless suffering.
to be joyful in faith at all times.
now seeing faces of LM and Isabella in photos, joy radiates. priceless. no matter rulings, Jesus has them.

Sheep among Wolves
15Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.
16Behold, I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.
17But beware of men; for they will hand you over to their councils and flog you in their synagogues.…
This particular ruling, while being downplayed to “go unnoticed,” i believe is bound to affect future rulings of many descriptions. The very legal definition of “parent” continues to be redefined. There are children in my life i would love to parent! - i cannot be a legal parent or guardian by osmosis, by being in the same room. By saying, “i want” .. if JJ prevails, this may come to be. Further dilution of legal definition of “parent.”
The strategy of bullying through “lesser” cases in order to establish GOLDEN “LEGAL PRECEDENT” has become an established pattern of organized political blocs all over the world. Lesser courts are deliberately sought after;
bullies seek out weak targets, on school playgrounds, and in the USSC, whenever possible.
It’s wise to recognize tactics, patterns.
This prevents being needlessly overwhelmed by undeserving unscrupulous bullies.
Jesus sacrificed Himself. He was FULLY aware of what was happening. He was not uneducated, primitive, naive.
His murderers were. He grieved for them.
