Judges are required - given that every decision could set a precedent - to adhere as closely as possible to the facts of every case. I don't understand what you mean by the 'dehumanising' of judges. Surely every decision of judges depends on their 'humanising', on taking into account all the human factors, especially those affecting the children ? Regardless of the 'culture', etc., etc. of anybody else involved ?
