The family court judge who threatened a mother with contempt for getting her child a COVID-19 test
Ohio Capital Journal: Sharona Hoffman, the Edgar A. Hahn Professor of Law, said that there are times a judge could issue orders that either require medical treatment or forbid it, like if a child had terminal cancer and the parents disagreed about treatment, but those types of decisions are generally made after a judge hears evidence from both sides on the issues. Hoffman discussed a recent decision by Judge Timothy Grendell who threatened a mother with contempt for getting her child a COVID-19 test.
