The court sided with the dad, Matthew Bradeen, who claimed the church’s teachings — especially about the rapture — were psychologically harming his 11-year-old daughter. While parents are meant to share decisions, the court ruled the father’s word was final when religious exposure became contentious. Now, Liberty Counsel, representing the mother Emily Bickford, plans to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, arguing the ruling violates First Amendment rights and shows hostility toward religious expression. The father’s team is confident in the ruling, but with 90 days to file, this high-stakes legal battle is far from over.
