I believe I have had the worst experience of my life involving JUDGE CURRIER WOODS. Today she just terminated my rights in regards to my 4 year old daughter without even flinching or any signs of emotion of concern for her well being. Judge Currier Woods does not have her own mind when it comes to cases and for the most part, does what ever the county attorney (Linda DaSilva) tells her to do. My daughter was taking from my ex and placed into fostercare, without truly considering me as an option, even though my wife and I have four children residing in our home now. She condoned the fostermother of having my daughter refer to her as her mother and her husband referred as her father. WHICH IS COMPLETELY ILLEGAL.

Anyone you ask about this woman , JUDGE! thinks she is insane, does look at the whole picture at all , the child , will be in therapy one day and she will be the blame , then again will she care? Not! This child is already , dealing with issues, with disabilities, at such a young age. Does she care nope , just put him in more danger with his health. with his 5 1/2 hr. ride everyother weekend at the age of 2 1/2 , to make a father he doesn't even know . And being forced to go. Call it the best interest of the child!

Having watched her over the last 3 YEARS she picks her favorites and sticks with them no matter the right of the situation. Mother, father, doesn't matter, it's CPS and adoption! Her involvement is so one sided as to place the children in clear and present danger to the parents and the children oft times making problems where none existed abusing the Color of Law in every way possible! Help me get her off the bench, Hon. C-W? Not on her best day.

Ive been witness to several if her cases where she displays an arrogance and outright bias against mothers. There have been several conversations I have had with court officers and other attorneys who question her legal competance and fairness in how she "balances " justice overall to benefit the well being of the children

Kafka would be right at home with LCW. I'm to the point of going through the rigamarole to start a complaint! I've meet several other people crawling the same! AND I DON'T PLAY! The form is on Unified Court System & the instructions too. Could use some help, even just encouragement. SHE put my kids worse danger!

This is in addition to my last comment; my experiences with her Court are too herrendece to be legal. It didn't seem we were I in a US Court of Law. Over the last 16 years I've observed JUDGES, BUT NEVER HAVE SEEN ANYONE LIKE THIS.

Judge Woods lacks cultural intelligence and is totally unaware of her biases resorting to stereotypes and appearing substantially gullible. Her lack of awareness and introspection screams out for supervision and accountability. This judge is HOSTILE and full of RAGE. She epitomizes what is wrong with family courts and how children's well being is lost in the process. Judge Woods needs to be reviewed so that she stops arbitrary actions that are cruel for children and parents.
