There is no legal way I can see for the father to enforce the order without breaking legislated law and it is illegal for any court to order someone to break the law. This guy should have appealed the decision.

Grandstanding from the bench IMHO.
again,i think they overreacted in THIS case, but there are many parents of younger children who take no responsibility for their children. my lady-friend's boyfriend travis is constantly in and out of jail for committing FELONIES but instead of letting him learn his lesson, his parents hire him an expensive lawyer that gets him off. see anything wrong with this picture?? what is he learning??
