This is a petition to get Linda Kate removed as Juvenile Judge. When any Judge sits on their bench and plays the role of "God", its time for them to go. I went to court the other day with my son and was shocked at what I saw and heard. There was a young man in the courtroom for having 2 concealed weapons on on school property, the punishment for this was 10 days in Juvenile Detetion Center(suspended), and court cost, THAT"S IT!!! My son was in there for a probation voliation, for a school detention. My son didn't just get to walk out, he was sent to the Center On December 22,2009 and not given a day of release. In this process, she called me up to the bench and preceded to yell at me, telling me I was not a good mother and I don't care for my son, and if I didn't want to deal with him she would place him with someone that would care for him. Mind you, this happen all in front of my son, I'm sure the words hurt him, as they did me. Now, I am a christian mother doing the best I can with my boys as any parent does. When someone judges you upon no facts of any sort this is wrong. I do not feel a mother should notbe humilated in front of a whole courtroom, and her own son just so the judge can throw authority around and feel better about herself. I have the original transcript from the hearing that can be read, to show she had no cause to act in this way. It will be posted on facebook. I hope you view the information and even research more about the way this judge handles the parents that come in the courtroom. I am asking for you to then sign this petition to remove a unworthy judge, so we can get one in there that cares for the kids and Respects the parents. Thank You

The stories coming in from other families are just as heartbreaking as mine. I am currently working to get this documentation in front of the right people.

The momentum is incredible. This proves people are tired of the way things are being handled in that courtroom.

Being in that courtroom, alone with that woman screaming at me, threatening me, and insulting me really amazed me. I never got to say anything at all because she kept up for the ENTIRE time. This is our FIRST meeting. I am also getting a transcript because if you haven't experienced it it is impossible to describe, The word-for word would shock pretty much any normal individual. I have heard that she "does that to all the parents". And yet people have tolerated that as she jerks them children around? Put your cases together people and aim for the Attorney General's office. This petition will go with us. Cara Reilly

It all started Dec 1, 2017 on a friday my son came home and told me there was an accident at school and that he needed use my cell phone to check up on his friend. Well me and my son didn't think nothing much of it and didn't know the seriousness of the situation. A Uhrichsville police officer showed up and told me my son was being arrested for an incident at school. I told the officer I'm well aware of the situation and why is my son being arrested if it was an accident. He said well your sons probation officer Ben Penrod said he didn't feel it was an accident base on the picture of the the student in the hospital. Dec 4th came, went to court my son had still not been charge with anything I kept calling the police station and they were acting dumb founded like they didn't know what was going on. By 7th my son had been charge with assault. Went to court on the 12th and my son denied the charge. On Dec 14th i had got court papers in the mail stating i had to be at court at 1:oo just got my mail at 12;00. I rush off to the courts my son wasn't there, my sons public defender had cancel so he can have better time to prepared understandable . Court Dec 11, at 9.00 prosecutor agree with the public defender to drop it down to a disorderly conduct my son accepted that even though he did not do purposely on what the state prosecutor and probation department was accusing him of. Earlier in this circus of a mess the probation department was passing around the video from the school like they were video detectives. How do i know this, some of my sons friends was over hearing them talk on the way back from the court to drop them off at the juvenile center saying he did it, wanting the kids to take the bate on talking about another juvenile case. But those kids didn't take the bate but reported it back to my son about what they where doing. February 22, 2018 at 2:00 on a Monday, day of sentencing for the disorderly conduct prosecutor attorney wasn't there but a sheriff was I k
