PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA - A Philadelphia family court judge is brazenly gunning for yet another 10-year term despite his 16 overturned rulings for cases that may have left minors in dangerous situations.
Judge Daine Grey received the overturned rulings by Pennsylvania’s Superior Court because of his allegedly harmful orders and courtroom etiquette, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
The Superior Court has overturned about one in every six of Grey’s decisions that were appealed - the highest rate among judges handling similar family court cases in Philadelphia.
One horrifying case involved a mother in a mental health crisis, threatening to kill herself and her four-year-old daughter, the outlet reports.
The woman had a history of abusing her other child, who currently lives with his father. She was also committed to a psychiatric facility after choking out a family member.
Philadelphia Department of Human Services retrieved the girl and temporarily removed her from the mother’s care, adding their recommendation of her staying with the father indefinitely.
Despite the harrowing nature of the case, Grey ordered the the four-year-old back to her mother in May 2024 - without hearing evidence that the woman's mental health issues were under control.
