Is anyone else as obsessed w/ this show as I am? I actually TiVo it every day so I can watch it in silence after the kids go to bed. I love Marilyn Milian and her big hoop earrings. I get such a kick out of her attitude towards some of the idiots who sign up to be on her show. I wonder if they hand-pick the "good" cases, or if it's a lottery?
They just had one case last week w/ a woman who brought her hairstylist to court b/c he straightened her 6 yr old's hair and burned her scalp. First of all, the woman had brought her own straightening solution in, so it wasn't their product that burned her. Second of all, when the little girl started crying that she was being burned, her mother just sat in the chair (she was getting her hair done, too) and told the little girl not to cry. She didn't want to mess up her hair, so she jsut sat there. You could tell the Judge was trying to be impartial while asking questions but was having a hard time not screaming at this woman. The worst part was the woman never brought her daughter to the dr (even though the burn on the back of her neck looked like wadded up gum) b/c she had an open case w/ DCF and didn't want them to know what happened. Why did she have an open case w/ DCF? B/c she hit her 6 year old w/ a belt. Nice. She lost this case, b/c she brought the perm solution in herself. if it had been the salon's solution, she would have had a case, as hard as it would have been for the Judge to rule in her favor. She did give the mother a tongue lashing about caring mroe about her appearance than about her daughter's safety, and about teaching a 6 year old (she had been having her hair straightened since she was 5) that what God gave her wasn't good enough and that she needed to manipulate her appearance to look good. In Kindergarten. Yeesh. The woman didn't learn any lesson, though. On her way out, she told Kirk that she was still going to straighten her daughter's hair, just at a different salon. She didn't get the message from the judge at all. The judge did yell at the salon guy, too, and told him he should have a policy about giving perms to kids under a certain age. I'm sure they're not the only salon to straighten little kid's hair in NYC, though, so if the guy does instill a policy, it will cut a lot of his business. Pretty sad, actually.
