- November 14, 2016
In season 21 episode 68 of Judge Judy, titled "Teen Child Support Woes!; Baby Car Seat Slip-Up!", viewers are taken through two cases dealing with family and child-related matters.
The first case deals with a teenage father who is being sued for child support by the mother of his child. Both parties are very young and the father claims that he did not know how to handle the situation when the mother of his child informed him that she was pregnant. He claims that he did not want the child, but the mother of the child decided to keep it. The mother of the child is now asking for back child support as well as ongoing support for the child. Judge Judy questions the father about his employment and whether he can afford to pay the child support. The father claims that he is not working at the moment, but Judge Judy questions his decision to take a trip to Las Vegas while he is not working. After some back and forth, Judge Judy ultimately rules in favor of the mother and orders the father to pay the back child support as well as ongoing support.
The second case deals with a car accident that occurred while a mother was driving her child in a car seat. The car seat was not properly fastened and as a result, the child was injured during the accident. The mother is now suing the store where she purchased the car seat, claiming that the car seat was defective and did not properly restrain her child. The store argues that the car seat was not defective and that it was the mother's responsibility to properly secure the car seat. Judge Judy questions both parties extensively about the specifics of the accident and the car seat. She ultimately determines that the car seat was not defective and that the mother was responsible for not properly securing the car seat. Judge Judy dismisses the case and advises both parties to take greater care in the future.
Overall, season 21 episode 68 of Judge Judy presents two cases that deal with important family and child-related matters. The episode highlights the importance of taking responsibility for one's actions and making decisions that prioritize the safety and well-being of children.
