It's for the protection of the child, right? Also, why aren't interviews between parents and court reporters recorded for quality assurance? Parents should have a chance to rebut their reports. They can't do it if they can't see the reports. You have court reporters that are putting in their reports to the courts as well. Parents have no idea what is being put before the courts. Why shouldn't they have a right to have that recorded in these court reports? It's been known that some of these court reporters are not doing their jobs properly. They're putting their biased opinions to the court system, and the courts are ruling on things that are not true. It's been brought to my attention that a court reporter was putting in the same reports for different cases. They weren't even doing their jobs properly. They were just using information from a previous case. Shouldn't the parents have a right to be able to record the meetings that they have with the court reporters and have a copy of it to know what is being presented to the judge?
