Robert L. Childers

Judge Childers was designated by the Tennessee Supreme Court in 2003 to preside over the widely publicized Anna Mae He case.

In a controversial ruling criticised by the Hes and legal experts, Childers terminated the birth parents' parental rights. The ruling was subsequently affirmed by a majority in the Tennessee Court of Appeals, but was completely reversed at the Tennessee Supreme Court.

The case led to a bill called Anna Mae He Act (Bill HB0351), which has passed Tennessee House vote in June 2007. In a separate action in the Tennessee Court of Judiciary, the Hes brought fifteen charges against Childers.

He retired on 20 June 2017.^[1]
