A teenage girl learned a hard lesson in respect while meeting with a judge over video link. The girl was facing various charges and was listening as the judge asked her about the jewelry she was wearing. He asked, “How much would you say your jewelry is worth?” to which the girl laughed and did not take his question seriously.
The judge criticized the girl for her laughter and asked her to explain herself. The girl tried to tell the judge that she found his question funny, but he was not impressed. The judge was concerned that her non-serious attitude might be a sign that she was not in her right mind, so he asked her another serious question.
“Ma’am, have you had any kind of drugs in the last 24 hours?” the judge asked.
“Actually, no,” the girl replied.
The judge then explained the charges against her and increased her bail from $5,000 to $10,000. This surprised the teen suspect, who exclaimed, “Are you serious?” before getting visibly angry and saying, “f– you!” to the judge.
The judge was not going to let the girl get away with cursing him out in front of other suspects and people working in the courtroom. He ordered her to return to the camera so she could face his wrath.
“Did you say ‘f– you’? Did you say that?” the judge asked the teen suspect.
“Yes, sir, I did,” the girl replied.
The judge was not pleased and found her in direct criminal contempt, sentencing her to thirty days in jail. Viewers were shocked by the girl’s reaction but impressed with the judge’s response.
Many people on social media were quick to criticize the girl, calling her disrespectful and immature. One person wrote, “What a stupid ‘Little Girl’ (I call her a Little Girl because she obviously is not Mature enough to understand that just go around Flipping people off, especially a Judge that she is already in front of for another stupid act that she had done).”
While the girl’s behavior was not appropriate, some viewers felt that the judge’s response was too harsh. They argued that the girl was young and may not have fully understood the seriousness of her actions. Others felt that the judge was simply trying to teach the girl a lesson in respect and that she deserved the punishment she received.
Regardless of one’s opinion on the matter, this incident serves as a reminder of the importance of showing respect to authority figures. While it may be tempting to act out or make inappropriate comments, it is important to remember that these actions can have serious consequences. The girl in this case learned this lesson the hard way, and hopefully, others can learn from her mistake.
