Another "sane" family court ruling

This one's from Australia:

A mother found by the Family Court to be violent, untruthful, lacking moral values and responsible for the psychological and emotional abuse of her children has been given custody of them. ... The father, deemed "principled" and with "much to offer his children", has been effectively banned from seeing his daughters. ... The same judge found the mother, whom we will call "Jasmine" and who abandoned her first daughter at two and spurned the child's subsequent attempts at reconciliation, had displayed "dreadful", "cruel" and "malicious" behaviour. ... the judge added: "It is a sad fact in the family law jurisdiction that a determination which is most consistent with the best interests of the children can appear to reward bad behaviour on the part of one parent and work in apparent injustice for the well-motivated best performing parent."

I seem to be getting to the point wherein I'd argue that you can never underestimate the stupidity/insanity of family law.
