Not only is this judge taking away this girls rights, he is not ruling in a way that will actually make her better. Anorexia is not just a girl looking for attention who needs to be put in her place. It is an actual mental disease. Just because this judge orders that she be fed a few times until she is no longer dying does not mean she is going to be cured. If anything the whole experience will be emotionally scarring for the girl. She will be back to the way she was if not worse in less than a month because her mental disorder has not actually been treated. The judge is acting completely uneducated , he should learn about mental disorders before deciding on treatment for them. The proper thing to do would be to send her to rehab or to get actual help.
