Sunshine Or Shut It Down

A Louisiana mother was sent to jail without a crime, without a trial, and without mercy. In East Baton Rouge Family Court, judges used contempt powers to build a modern debtor’s prison, jailing Katherine Diamond for failing to pay her ex-husband’s lawyers. Transcripts expose closed-door deals, shouted threats, and punishment without due process. While the Louisiana Supreme Court declared the system clean, one justice called it a corrupt cabal. Out of this nightmare rose Amy Jeter Duncan, a mother turned reform leader, now waging open war on a family court system she says destroys parents, silences victims, and profits from pain.

Scumbag Jason Samaritano Arrested Again in New Jersey

Jason “Jay” Samaritano is back where he belongs: under arrest. The self-styled “family court advocate” was busted again in New Jersey, adding another charge to a criminal history that already includes fraud, theft by deception, stalking, and probation violations. A judge warned just months ago that Samaritano was a “repetitive offender” who was “highly likely to reoffend.” That warning proved prophetic. Instead of reform, Samaritano escalated—harassing real family court advocates, targeting their families, and terrorizing critics online. Now, with probation hanging by a thread, New Jersey’s most notorious fake crusader is facing the consequences he long evaded.

Boyne’s Connecticut Case Collapsing: Illegal raids, stolen evidence, judicial misconduct, and massive First Amendment violations.

Boyne’s Connecticut Case Collapsing Under Constitutional Rot

Paul Boyne’s First Amendment nightmare is finally exploding into public view. The 70-year-old Virginia father and Annapolis grad now stands accused of “stalking” Connecticut judges with nothing more than words — fiery blog posts known as the “Hateful Eight.” For that speech alone, Connecticut slapped him with 18 felony counts, jailed him 17 months, raided his Virginia home illegally, and strapped a failing ankle monitor to his leg. Prosecutors used stolen evidence, sealed warrants, and media gags. Judges looked the other way. Former Justice Joette Katz allegedly pulled strings from the shadows. And now, the entire prosecution is collapsing under the weight of its constitutional rot.

Carasso’s Courtroom Bias Bombshell

Orange County Judge Kimberly A. Carasso is now the face of a spiraling judicial scandal after refusing to recuse herself from journalist Julie Holburn’s family court case. Evidence shows Carasso knew Holburn, her articles, and her reporting months before taking the case — contradicting her sworn statements and fueling accusations of bias, retaliation, and misconduct. Court transcripts show Carasso discussing Holburn by name, reviewing her photo and articles, and even threatening mistrial over her reporting. Now, with the public demanding DOJ and FBI intervention, Carasso’s refusal to step aside exposes the deepening crisis in Orange County’s secrecy-ridden family court system.

Kingston Kommisar Whacky Jacky faces backlash for sweeping gag orders critics call unconstitutional prior restraint in Ulster County Court.

Kingston Kommisar Whacky Jacky’s Gag Crackdown

Ulster County’s Family Court is back in the spotlight, and Judge Jacqueline Racciani—now branded “Whacky Jacky” by watchdogs—is at the center of a constitutional firestorm. Her sweeping gag orders, issued from a courthouse that is legally a public forum, have ignited outrage from civil liberties advocates who say she is trampling the First Amendment with reckless abandon. Critics argue she is running a private courtroom in open defiance of state law, targeting parents, attorneys, journalists, and even observers like advocate Dave Weigel. The Blog’s legal team calls her rulings “prior restraints in robes”—and a threat to every New Yorker’s rights.

Alliant Abuser Daddy Enabled By Rockland Referee Holly Young

Rockland County’s family-court circus is back under the spotlight, and this time the ringmaster is Court Attorney Referee Holly C. Young, whose ex parte restraining order has ignited a firestorm of outrage. Young granted Alliant Cyber executive John “Jay” Stampfl a no-contact order against the mother of his children — over social-media posts and public scrutiny. The order appears to trample constitutional rights, weaponize family court, and shield a powerful corporate figure accused of emotionally abusing his kids. Investigative journalists contacted Alliant executives for comment. Silence. The December 18 hearing now looms as must-watch courtroom theater.

Shaken Baby Shakedown: Connie Reguli exposes “junk science,” CPS corruption, and foster-care trafficking in a bombshell podcast.

Shaken Baby Shakedown and CPS Child Sex Trafficking

Shaken Baby Syndrome is collapsing under the weight of its own “junk science,” and suspended Tennessee attorney Connie Reguli is leading the charge to expose it. In an explosive episode of The Unknown Podcast, hosted by Richard Luthmann and Michael Volpe, Reguli tears apart the flawed medical theories, corrupt child-abuse pediatricians, and federal funding schemes that fuel a foster-care trafficking pipeline. From wrongful convictions to missing foster children, Reguli lays out a national scandal hidden behind sealed courtrooms and rubber-stamped prosecutions. Silenced by the Bar but unleashed online, she fights back harder than ever—and the system should be terrified.

Lake 7 Murder Cover-Up: A witness is dead, a ranch stolen, and officials enriched. Inside the Lubbock Lake 7 murder cover-up and conspiracy.

Lake 7 Murder Cover-Up: Who Killed Joe Alpanalpa?

A murdered ranch hand, a stolen homestead, and a $160 million land flip tied to a West Texas reservoir project—this is the scandal now exploding across Lubbock County. Investigators and whistleblowers say the death of disabled veteran Joe Alpanalpa is no suicide but a targeted killing to cover up a fixed courthouse auction used to steal world-class cowboy entertainer Brice Chapman’s ranch for pennies. Chapman, a descendant of Abraham Lincoln, refused to sell to insiders tied to Judge Brian Quinn. Now a secret video, criminal complaints, and the Family Court Fraud Warrior Project expose what may be Texas’ biggest judicial land-theft conspiracy.

Mama Bear Runs For Congress

Terri LaPoint is the investigative bulldog Alabama never saw coming. After years exposing CPS corruption, “medical kidnapping,” and the federally funded foster-care pipeline ripping families apart, LaPoint is taking her reform crusade straight to Congress. The award-winning journalist and author of Voices That Will Not Be Silenced has launched a grassroots challenge against entrenched incumbent Rep. Mike Rogers, calling him “the least conservative” member of Alabama’s delegation. Running on “God, Family, Freedom,” LaPoint vows to blow the lid off secretive family courts, federal funding schemes, and reunification abuse. She’s betting Alabama is ready for a fighter—not another placeholder politician.

Family Court Truth: National Experts warn that secret family courts are a nationwide public-health crisis harming children and families,

Family Court Truth at National Press Club Summit

A national reckoning hit Washington on Nov. 11, when lawmakers, doctors, attorneys, survivors, and investigative reporters gathered at the National Press Club to declare America’s family-court system a public-health crisis. Speaker after speaker said the same thing: secrecy fuels abuse. Panels exposed judicial misconduct, coerced reunification programs, unchecked power, and the catastrophic medical fallout inflicted on children. Dr. Bandy Lee called the system “a profound source of harm.” Constitutional lawyer Bruce Fein warned that secret courts threaten democracy. Survivors like Mia Ambrose and Ally Toyos described years of trauma. The message was blunt: family courts are broken and must change.

Christopher Ambrose is a Shitty Lawyer

Christopher A. Ambrose, a suspended New York attorney and disgraced TV writer, is now demanding something no American court has ever granted: a lifetime gag order muzzling journalist Frank Parlato Jr. Ambrose wants Parlato banned from ever mentioning his name again, forced to delete years of reporting, issue a public apology, and pay millions. Legal experts say Ambrose’s 109-page filing reads like a wish list for authoritarian censorship, not a federal lawsuit. His past failures, plagiarism scandal, and history of vexatious litigation only amplify the absurdity. Ambrose wants silence. Instead, he’s getting sunlight.

Alaska Judge From Hell: Jamgochian orders three children into reunification with their abuser, while the protective mother faces arrest.

Alaska Judge From Hell Forces Children Back to Abuser in Bartholomew Case

The Bartholomew case has exploded into a national scandal. An Alaska judge has ordered three terrified children back into the custody and “reunification therapy” of their accused abuser, John Bartholomew, even as Utah authorities conduct an active criminal investigation into his alleged sexual and physical violence. Their mother, Michelle Bartholomew, is now hunted by the same court for refusing to hand the children over. Medical experts, brain-scan evidence, and child-advocacy leaders say the Alaska court is forcing torture. Advocates call this one of the most shocking family-court abuses in America today—and demand federal intervention before the children disappear forever.

Ding Dong She’s Gone!

Judge Elizabeth Bozzuto’s long, chaotic reign over Connecticut family court is finally finished. After twenty-five years of fear, fury, and scorched-earth rulings that shattered families statewide, the most infamous figure in the Nutmeg Judiciary has slunk off into taxpayer-funded retirement. Her career leaves behind a crater of broken parents, traumatized kids, and legal carnage unmatched by any judge of her era. Bozzuto became a symbol of everything wrong in Connecticut’s family court system — unchecked power, sealed secrets, and decisions delivered with shock-troop aggression. Now the Blog’s original villain exits the stage at last. Few shed tears. Many sigh in relief.

FJAA Legal Lunacy: The FJAA is a constitutional catastrophe authored by a fraud. No sponsors, no hearing, and no viability — just deception.

FJAA Legal Lunacy: Francesca Amato’s Trainwreck of Constitutional Flaws

Francesca Banfield Amato sold desperate families a fantasy. She promised a sweeping federal reform bill—the so-called Family Justice & Accountability Act—supposedly backed by Congress and destined to overhaul family courts nationwide. Instead, parents arrived in Washington to find no lawmakers, no hearing, and no bill—only a rented library room and empty chairs. Now, as journalists expose her IRS violations, fake legislative claims, and secretive NDAs, the truth is out: the FJAA is a constitutional disaster and Amato is a serial fraud. What she calls “reform” is nothing more than a collapsing circus of lies, ego, and legal impossibilities.

Judge Jacqueline Ricciani

Ulster County Family Court is facing intense public scrutiny as Judge Jacqueline Ricciani prepares for a high-stakes emergency hearing involving attorney Elizabeth Faulkner, attorney Heather Harp, and Kingston resident Paul Gillis. Critics claim the trio has orchestrated an “opaque and alarming custody campaign,” raising questions about secrecy, emergency procedures, and alleged misuse of parens patriae powers. A popular watchdog blog has amplified these concerns, accusing court insiders of shielding questionable decisions from public view. With a new hearing set for November 19, pressure mounts on Judge Ricciani as citizens demand transparency, accountability, and protection for the child at the center of the dispute.

The Indefinablity of Jew: The surge in antisemitism exposes a legal crisis. Without a clear definition, hate-crime protections risk collapse.

The Indefinability of Jew

American law is caught in a bizarre identity crisis: It cannot define what a “Jew” is. As antisemitism soars, prosecutors and politicians sound alarms, but they can’t answer the basic question their laws require. Is a Jew a race? A religion? An ethnicity? All of the above? None? Hate-crime statutes demand clear subject classes—like Black, Woman, Gay, or Muslim. But “Jew” defies every legal box. If we can’t define the protected class, we can’t define the crime. And unless lawmakers solve this definitional black hole fast, America may discover that its antisemitism protections were built on sand.

Preacher-Turned-Politician Leads Family Court Reform

South Carolina firebrand Gil Gatch is done watching families get steamrolled by a family-court system he says rewards bias, secrecy, and incompetence. The former minister and Georgetown-trained lawyer is pushing bold reforms to rein in guardian ad litem abuses, shut down backdoor deals, and restore judicial accountability. In an exclusive interview, Gatch explains why GALs have become “the judge in a lot of circumstances,” how temporary orders trap parents for years, and why he distrusts slow-rolling ad hoc committees. Meanwhile, Arizona and Idaho lawmakers are proving that sunlight-driven investigations can force long-overdue reforms. The battle for America’s children is underway.

Deaf Mom Mega Influencer Taci Belisle Fights Violent Felon Ex in Family Court Circus

Deaf mega-influencer Taci Belisle, a mother of three with over 3 million followers, is locked in a brutal interstate custody war against her ex-husband—a convicted kidnapper and violent felon. Belisle, the full-time caregiver of her terminally ill son Ryder, says the family court system has become a “circus” that enables abusers while silencing victims. Judges in Washington and Ohio now clash over jurisdiction, while attorneys bend the rules and mock her pleas for protection. “If it can happen to me, it can happen to you,” Belisle warns, as she fights to keep her children safe from a system gone mad.

Lights Camera Perjury

Christopher Ambrose’s latest legal stunt fell flat. The disgraced Hollywood writer-turned-litigator tried to convince a federal judge that he’d personally served investigative journalist Frank Parlato with a defamation lawsuit—but the proof didn’t match his claim. The deputy’s own notes showed no service was made. Judge Sarala Nagala swiftly denied Ambrose’s motion, keeping Parlato’s extended response deadline intact and refusing to make him pay Ambrose’s $40 “service fee.” For Ambrose—already infamous for plagiarizing a Bones script and losing his first lawsuit—it’s another credibility collapse in a saga defined by deceit, desperation, and bad process.

FOIA Bombshell Reveals Child Sex Trafficking Fears

A Freedom of Information Act bombshell has rocked Illinois. FOIA documents obtained by State House candidate Bailey Templeton reveal 166 foster children vanished from DCFS custody in 2024—a 935% spike from prior years. Templeton says the state’s child welfare agency is “cooking the books” to hide a disaster that may conceal a child sex trafficking ring. Law enforcement sources told The Family Court Circus the figures are “highly suspect” and “it would be shocking if a trafficking ring wasn’t operating under DCFS’s nose.” Meanwhile, Governor Pritzker and DCFS officials remain silent.
