Forced to Wear Implant

No, she is perfectly happy with one side and always wears it. Something bothers her about the other side. She has stated the problems with it.

Have you read another article about it? I didn't bother to google it, just watched the interview video. He made it sound like she didn't wear either, when she was with him.

Yes, I have been following both sides for a while.

What is wrong with one side of CI, even if she had two CIs? She is perfectly happy with only one CIs, even if she does not want to wear it for a reason, but her other side is having problem and she was not happy with only one CI. But the judge made her wear both of them on allllllll day until bedtime.

Most CI people usually have one CI only not two, because it cost a lot of money to have another one. You have to be a millionaire to afford two CIs. I don't know of the grandparents' income and so are the mother and father's income too. Also I don't know if she got the insurance paid for to have two CIs. So it is not our business to know why she had two CIs.

Right now, we are concern about her father and herself being told by the Judge in the court. Being force is not the way to go and it is not freedom like in the Democracy.
 
The judge isn't forcing her to wear them, her mother is. The Judge is enforcing the mothers wishes, and something that was already agreed to in previously in court. Yes, the mother has to the right to this. Kids don't want to do stuff all the time, they don't want to eat their veggies, they don't want to clean their room, but parents make them anyway, do you think that is that infringing on their freedoms? I doubt it. Children don't know what's best for them, and he was against it from the start. Let's make a comparison, let's say the Dad was a Christian Scientist and didn't believe in medicine. The mother would be in her rights to take him to court if he wouldn't give their daughter medicines prescribed by her doctor. If this was the case, if the court made the father abide by the mothers wishes do you think their freedom was infringed. I'm sure the daughter would be all gungho about not taking her yucky meds.
 
Another "oddity" about this "family".
Why would Deaf news Today slant this "strange saga" leaving out highly pertinent detail? The apparent "unusual" meeting in the first place which lead to the pregnancy between a Deaf male and hearing female?
Thus asking a court to intervene later on how to "deal" with their child's handling of the Cochlear Implant?
 
Forcing her to wear them, that isn't right. That is like taking a kid and telling them you have to wear these shoes at all times, unless you are asleep, then on day one he or she finds a thorn in the sole that pokes their feet. I just don't like the idea of someone being forced to do something when they have a choice. If she wants to, awesome. If she doesn't, then she doesn't have to. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being deaf. Her mother and grandparents should just get over themselves. If I had a deaf child I would want him or her to be proud of who they were. I personally would not force them into a CI just because I can hear. On the other hand if they wanted it, I would not talk them out of it. It should be their choice.
 
As for young child being capable to making decisions-interesting. Item: can a 3 year old be "forced" to learn parent's language? Can a 4 year old be "forced" to live with the parents?
Free choice?
Aside: DEAFness is a condition-how does one deal with it? Free CHOICE if one's "understands" -realistic for a 4 year old?
Does one really believe young children have "enough maturity" to actually make decisions- re: using a Hearing aid/Cochlear Implant or other "conditions" of human existence?
