Help Us Expose the Dangerous Case of Family Courts

Help Us to Expose the Dangerous Case of Family Courts

—and Protect Our Children, Our Future, Our Democracy

Too many dangers and injustices in our society are carefully obscured, purposely hidden, and lurking in the shadows for far too long. This has happened in recent years with regard to the opioid epidemic, police violence, sexual assaults, systemic racism, and even medical insurance denials. Exploitation by the very systems that are supposed to solve our problems is becoming all too frequent.

Too often it takes years if not decades for such abuses to surface into public view. Oftentimes this happens only after a particularly egregious act takes place, sometimes one that is captured on video or otherwise evokes public outrage. Even then, it may take a very long time before the perpetrators are caught, charged, and prosecuted.

This difficulty is well-known to me through my decades of work with our prison and legal systems as a forensic psychiatrist. However, none has been more shocking to me than a very serious, pervasive problem I have only recently learned about, and the public knows far too little about. After all my education, clinical research and experience, and becoming a recognized authority on human violence, I did not know until recently that Family Courts knowingly send 100,000 children per year, year after year, to their soul murder. These children grow up dead inside. Roughly a third become violent offenders. Almost all are too wounded for democracy to be possible.

It was after very unexpected personal involvement that I have become aware of this deadly and predatory practice under the guise of “legality” in the Family Courts. Since entering these Courts, through the experience of a family member’s divorce, but more importantly as an expert witness in now almost fifty cases, I have discovered that the gang rapes, gladiator fights, mayhem, and murder occurring with impunity in our maximum-security prisons pale in comparison to the deadly abuses that are taking place in our Family Courts…. And the victims are vulnerable and innocent children, not to mention the adults who try to protect them.

Family Courts, originally carved away from regular courts to protect children, are instead devouring them! In cases of family violence, which is a vast majority of child custody cases, the children are abducted from the loving parent to be given over to their torture, rape, battery, and murder—and judicial authority is used to “fix” the results—all as part of a multi-billion-dollar abuse industry.

My project for over two years, writing about the scope, scale, and severity of this scandal, is almost complete—but I need your help to finish it! Please support this project to save our children, our collective future health, and our potential for democracy….

Having spent most of my time working to keep my sister alive (the usual course is to take your children, to demand exorbitant “child support,” and then to incarcerate you if you cannot pay), I desperately need to free time to complete this project. Your support will be indispensable! Thank you, in advance!
