It’s no wonder that poor David Luisi is not able to convince the judge that the social workers are severely damaging his children.

He’s having problems because Judge Stahlin has been working exclusively with social workers ever since he graduated from law school. There is nothing wrong with that except that as a judge he is always judging what those social workers have done or said. How can he be independent? He’s a part of the system. A judge is supposed to be independent and it is painfully clear that Jeremy Stahlin is not.

A judge is not supposed to be a friend to any of the participants in a trial and yet all of the social workers and other experts who appear before him every day of the week are his friends. What chance does anyone have if he tries to fight those social workers?

This judge has been working all of his life with those who believe that government should become much more involved in raising children because the parents are not capable.

He says he has been working in "child welfare law" ever since he graduated from Boston College Law School in 1974.

Judge Stahlin is now on the Board of Directors of Child Care Resource Center, Inc. which tries to help children in many ways, including lobbying for what it believes will help children. The only problem is that everyone does not necessarily agree with those social workers as to what is best for our children. But these people say on their website (www.ccrcinc.org) that they want everyone to be lobbying for their goals at the Statehouse and elsewhere.

A judge should not be doing this type of thing. It is unethical for a judge to do so. But it shows the arrogance that exists. They believe that what they are doing is divinely inspired and everyone with a sane mind must agree.

Before he was appointed to the bench, Judge Stahlin was a staff attorney at Boston Children’s Service Association for seven years. This organization is proud that it was the first "private sector agency to contract with the Commonwealth’s Department of Public Welfare," which was the beginning of the end of the private, charitable agencies which had served Massachusetts for over a hundred years. It merged last year with the Home for Little Wanderers.
This is an excellent example of how the social workers have consumed us. They now include judges on their staff and they are steadily replacing mothers and fathers as the ones who raise the children.
