Why is a New York State Supreme Court not enforcing its own court order?

Freedomist has obtained court documents surrounding the ongoing case in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Kings County, Kohn v Teper. In these court documents THE FREEDOMIST has observed apparent numerous examples of court orders being openly violated with no disciplinary action taken by Judge Adams, the judge presiding over this matter.
Witness this order from February 24,2010
The plaintiff is directed to return forthwith with the children to Brooklyn to reside at his residence at 203 Avenue F Apt 5c Brooklyn New York. They are to return to and remain in Brooklyn today, February 24, 2010. He is not permitted to relocate with the children nor is he permitted to travel with the children overnight away from the Brooklyn residence pending further order of the court.
When, Asia Teper, the mother of the missing daughters arrived at the above mentioned location on the assigned date of February 24, 2010, this is what she found, according to an affidavit obtained by THE FREEDOMIST.
1. As indicated on the record in before your honor on February 24, 2010 the Plaintiff has relocated the children.
2. The Plaintiff continues to disobey this courts orders- something this court should be used to by now. 3. On February 24, 2010 I arrived at 203 Avenue F in Brooklyn NY to confirm that the children were returned in accordance with this court’s order. 4. While waiting I was informed, by a gentlemen who stated he was the building owner, that he opened the door for Mr. Kohn earlier that day.
5. He spoke to me because he saw my father and I waiting by the building lobby for several hours and was curious as to why we were there.
6. Once the Plaintiff arrived, at 10pm on a school night I realized that Mr. Kohn called the police so I followed my attorney’s instructions and stayed until their arrived. Once the police left. I left. 7. I do not know if the Plaintiff and the children remained there for the rest of the night. 8. On Friday February 26, 2010, only TWO days after this court’s clear order I learned that the children were back in Monsey. I later learned that they remained there for several days. 9. On Tuesday 4, 2010 I learned that the children were not spend the night at the 203 Avenue F apartment as ordered by this court.
As of the writing of this article, the mother has not seen her daughters, has not been in contact with them, and Judge Adams has refused to use the power of the court to enforce the return of the children to the court-recognized guardian of the children.
The Freedomist has been unable, thus far, to ascertain any reason for Judge Adams’s hesitation in enforcing her orders, apparently repeatedly refusing to enforce any remedy against the father who has, against her standing order, and now for months, refused to return the children to their mother’s care. As courts typically are scrupulous about enforcing their authority an apparent persistent failure to do so is extremely unsettling.
The Freedomist, whose readers are deeply devoted to the rule of law, continues to dig deeper to ascertain the facts surrounding this extraordinarily unusual situation.

Why the New York State Supreme Court might refrain from enforcing its orders in such a dramatic case truly appears, candidly, baffling and is a circumstance bound to draw increasing public scrutiny.
