Judge Says No More Kids

A Pennsylvania family court judge ordered a couple not to have any more children because they re homeless and addicted to drugs.  On Friday, a state appeals court said that the judge overstepped her boundaries and reversed the ruling.

Stephanie Pendleton and Rodney Evers were ordered in 2004 by Judge Marilyn O'Connor not to have any more children until they could get back their four children who were already in foster care.  Three of the kids had tested positive for cocaine at birth.

Pendleton, who is now 38, appealed Judge O'Connor's ruling.  The appellate panel of the state Supreme Court agreed with Pendleton that the judge had no business telling her she couldn't have more kids.

The four other kids?  They're still in other homes.  The Supreme Court did not change the ruling that the kids were neglected and that the parents' parental rights should be taken from them.

So now Pendleton can go out and have more kids for the state to take care of for her worthless ass.
