All rise.
1:20:05
This branch of the Circuit Court
of Cook County

1:20:07
is now in session,
1:20:08
the Honorable Renata Silbowitz
presiding.

1:20:11
Be seated.
1:20:15
This was not an easy decision.
1:20:20
I have decided to return
the child, Isaiah,

1:20:23
to his biological mother.
1:20:25
When the mother is capable...
1:20:27
and I believe Miss Richards
is functioning well enough

1:20:31
to parent this child...
1:20:33
it is usually
in the child's best interest

1:20:35
to be with his natural mother,
1:20:37
especially when there
is a racial issue involved.

1:20:41
This may cause
some initial trauma,

1:20:44
but Isaiah is young...
1:20:46
We're just going
to take him away.

1:20:47
...and should be able
to deal with this...

1:20:49
Out of the state,
out of the country.

1:20:50
...if the adults conduct
themselves thoughtfully.

1:20:52
- No.
- Oh, why not?

1:20:55
Our jobs can move.
1:20:57
We'll go to California.
1:20:59
You always wanted
to go there.

1:21:01
No, Charles.
1:21:06
Well, we're going
to appeal.

1:21:07
No!
1:21:14
It's over!
1:21:43
What you doing?
1:21:45
I said, "Nothing."
1:21:47
You a dinosaur?
1:21:49
I'm coming.
1:21:51
What you doing?
1:21:53
Nothing.
1:21:54
Isaiah?
1:21:56
Come on, honey, it's time to go.
1:21:58
Let's get your jacket on, okay?
