PONTIAC, MI - An Oakland County judge called a 15-year-old boy "a defiant, contemptuous young man" before ordering him, along with his two younger siblings, to spend the rest of the summer in a juvenile detention facility.

According to court records, Judge Lisa Gorcyca in June ordered the three kids, aged 9, 10 and 15, to Children's Village for civil contempt of court when they refused to talk to their father on June 24.

The 15-year-old said he did not apologize for not talking to his father, because he saw his father hit his mother.

"I'm not gonna talk to him," the boy said, according to a court transcript that has been circulated on social media.

Gorcyca said she'd ordered the boy and his siblings, a 10-year-old boy and a 9-year-old girl, to have "a healthy relationship with your father."

The 15-year-old stated he did nothing wrong in refusing to see his father, and that his father was the one who did something wrong.

The judge replied, apparently repeating herself, that the boy disobeyed her -- and his mother's -- orders.

She also told the boy his father had never been charged with any of the offenses he spoke of.

"You're supposed to have a high IQ, which I'm doubting right now because of the way you act, you're very defiant, you have no manners, I ordered you to have a relationship with your (dad) I ordered you to talk to your father. Your mom told you to talk to your father. There is no reason why you do not have a relationship with your father."

Gorcyca said the boy could remain in juvenile detention until he graduates high school.

The judge then shifted her focus to the children's mother, Maya Eibschitz-Tsimhoni, telling her that "Your behavior...is unlike anything I've ever seen in 46,000 cases," comparing the mother's actions to the Charles Manson cult.

According to court documents, Gorcyca ordered that Eibschitz-Tsimhoni is not allowed to visit the children in juvenile detention, only their father, Omer Tsimhoni and people Tsimhoni permits.

Gorcyca said in court that the ruling goes over pleas from Tsimhoni that the children not be placed in juvenile detention.

"You are so mentally messed up right now and it's not because of your father," she said in court documents.

A review hearing is set for Sept. 1.

The children were all represented by different lawyers. Those representing the youngest children both expressed that the children were either uncooperative or unpredictable.

The lawyers, according to legal documents, coached the youngest children through an apology to the court, but when the judge offered the two one last chance to have lunch with and talk to their father, they said no.

"I'll go with my brother," the 10-year-old boy said. The 9-year-old girl followed suit.

"I've never seen anything like this," Gorcyca replied. "One day you can watch this video and realize that you two have been brainwashed...Every single adult in this courtroom thinks you have been brainwashed."

According to a report from The Detroit News, the June 24 sentencing is part of a long-running divorce dispute dating back to 2009.

The parents are scheduled in Gorcyca's court next Wednesday for an emergency hearing regarding the children.

The Detroit News reports that Eibschitz-Tsimhoni, 40, claimed Tsimhoni threatened her and her children in 2010 and took out a personal protection order, which was rejected.

Court records indicated that all three children refuse to speak to their father or touch food he'd touched.

Some are calling for the children to be freed from juvenile detention.

A Facebook group, Justice for Tsimhoni kids, had 1,860 members Thursday.

The Michigan Coalition to End Domestic and Sexual Violence said in a Wednesday press release that "No child should be jailed for trying to stay safe."

The group stated in the release that Gorcyca took away the childrens' voice by taking them away from their allegedly non-violent mother.

"It is equally outrageous and telling that the children's father has left for a trip to Israel and the children remain in juvenile custody," Mary Keefe, Executive Director of the MCEDSV, said in a statement. "Finally, the court seems to rely on the long debunked theory of parental alienation as a rational reason for the detention, perpetuating the terrible myth that children should not be believed when they come forward having witnessed abuse."

The New York Observer quoted the children's father as saying the following: "I'm in shock by what's happening. My ex-wife lost in court after many times she was warned and as a result she just went out to the media to put pressure on the judge or overrule the judge. I understand everybody's pain--the children's pain, my pain, that the children are where they are. But she saw it coming and never tried to prevent it...

"She is poisoning them and the judge realized that."

Tsimhoni points in the interview to an incident five years ago when his ex-wife screamed he'd hurt her when she came to get the kids during his visitation hours.
