If the people don't decide, then it's not mediation.

“When parents...engage in successful mediation, those cases are more likely to result in dependent children returning to safe and healthy homes…and diminished recidivism”

“I've always found mediation to be the best bang for the buck."

- Dependency Court, Presiding Judge Ret., Nash
