FLASHPOINT for Dec 1 , 2006

Saturday, Dec. 16, 2006 | 7:04 a.m.

If you want a microcosm of what's wrong with the Family Court system, look no further than the wild scene in Judge Cheryl Moss' courtroom this week. I'm sure TV stations will keep playing that videotape of Geoffrey Wells attacking bailiffs. But that is the less frightening videotape of Wells and of Moss to emerge from that courtroom. This is the same place where Moss last year showed sympathy for a cursing Wells - he is a Marine, after all, Moss seemed to chuckle - during a battle for custody of his children, one of whom killed himself with an unsecured gun in his house. The unspeakable ordeal that Maria Wells has endured is, alas, probably emblematic of what Moss and maybe other judges have put people through.
