Ok maybe she’s still a woman hater and it’s still IMO a bad judgement , this magistrate woman has made life even more difficult for this young woman who maybe a chav but is also a person with a child for an entire year. So she punishes the child as well as the ailing mother . Great job ,

You are, of course, entitled to that opinion but I would advise taking such action yourself in similar circumstances, e.g. encountering a road obstruction when driving a pet to the vet, since you will, possibly, find yourself on the wrong side of the law.
