Okay, this is the category of opinion of law/ outlook on a situation through law

A 16 year old daughter + an elderly father, who which both live independently together, had both got into a physical altercation one day. The physical altercation is known to be on the daughters part. The father showed no altercation. The daughter was ordered through the county judge to be turned into the juvenile detention center by her father for further discussion with the altercation.
The hearing altogether decided to send the daughter to a short term residential mental hospital and to after that return her back to the father (since it was the child's first time in a law like situation and they thought to just check the child's mental stability out).
The 16 year old daughter was released from the residential hospital with a total of staying there for 4 days. She was diagnosed with Anxiety, ODD, mood swings, and a temporary diagnosis because of her total stay at the detention center. Her upcoming court date after her rel-easement from the hospital was suppose to also be her releasing back to father date since she had not gotten in trouble through the programmed process.
Her next court date had came up and the court had brought forth to the judge how the hospital had good reports of her stay and that she is fine to go home. The judge said no to the child going home and they were shocked. He said no because of the pictures that were sent to him of the fathers bruises and how there was apparently background to it all. Shes been locked up for almost 3 mths with no placement and missing school. What should the judge do since the dad wants her back and the daughter had shown capability of going home?


Opinions?
