Spelling out 1984 for no reason (since the book title is the number) and then immediately not spelling out Fahrenheit 451 is a mildly infuriating choice
The book title of Nineteen Eighty-Four is spelled out, in the first edition and many others, but there are also many editions with the number, it's been published hundreds of times.
Did that judge even go to law school. Legal capacity isn't a thing anymore in US law or what? Truly mind-blowing that any judge is comfortable issuing such an instruction to a baby. But then immigration law has always been absurd and very punitive unless you are rich. Maybe they should take their morality to it's logical conclusion and auction off the child to the highest bidder. Unless it objects, in writing.
