Judge's Paralyzed Son Sat Alone at Trial — Single Dad's Testimony Changed Two Lives Forever

The courtroom was supposed to be about justice. It had never been about watching your child sit completely alone. Judge Margaret Whitmore's hands trembled as she adjusted her reading glasses, pretending to review the case files spread before her elevated bench. But her eyes weren't on the legal documents. They were fixed on the back row of the courtroom, where her fourteen-year-old son David sat motionless in his wheelchair, staring at nothing with the hollow expression that had haunted her for eight months. The irony wasn't lost on her. She presided over family court, making decisions about custody, about what was best for children, about keeping families together. Yet here she was, watching her own son fade away like smoke, and she was powerless to stop it. David hadn't spoken to her in three weeks. Not since she'd missed his physical therapy appointment to handle an emergency custody hearing. Not since she'd chosen her courtroom over his recovery session for the fifth time that month. Not since he'd stopped believing she would ever choose him first.
