Facebook campaign spearheaded by Family Court Fraud Warrior Project mobilizes hundreds of parents to expose judicial abuse.

THE WAR ROOM GOES DIGITAL
The Family Court Fraud Warrior Project just launched the most effective offensive against family court corruption yet—“MY THREE MINUTES,” a raw, camera-ready blitzkrieg of parent-led testimony.
The initiative invites every parent victimized by family courts to post a video, no longer than five minutes, detailing their experience with government-backed child theft, judicial abuse, and systemic coverups.
These videos, shared on the group’s Facebook page, are already making waves.
“This isn’t a petition. This isn’t some dusty brief lawmakers toss in a drawer. This is a living, permanent, public record,” said founder David Weigel. “Every parent has a phone. That’s all they need to take part in the biggest fraud exposure campaign in family court history.”
Weigel, a fiduciary financial planner by trade, brings a regulated, evidence-driven mindset to a lawless frontier.
“I operate in the most regulated industry on Earth. If I donate $100 to a local politician, I’m subject to an entirely new regulatory regime,” he said. “Meanwhile, these judges, attorneys, and child welfare actors operate in total impunity. No audits. No oversight. No accountability.”
The videos aren’t just stories—they’re data points in a massive crowdsourced audit.
MY THREE MINUTES CAMPAIGN: WARRIORS UNLEASH TRUTH
Three “Warrior Parents” led the charge. Jim Cnota, Heather Bendl, and Teresita Vega dropped their truth-bombs in searing, gut-wrenching videos.
Cnota’s nightmare began when his five-year-old daughter screamed for help while her teenage stepbrother sexually assaulted her.
“His arm was around her neck and his hand in her pants,” he said. “I pulled him off. Within four hours, I was arrested. She’s still with her attacker.”
Despite medical proof—fissures, bleeding, vomiting—Illinois’s Kane County court punished Cnota for protecting his child. Judges like Camargo and Giovanni, DCFS caseworkers, GAL Doug Caska, and school officials all failed to act.
“I’ve beaten most of the charges,” Cnota said, “but my daughter still sees her abuser every week.”
Heather Bendl’s case spans Illinois and Florida.
“My kids were kidnapped by DCFS without a court order. No badge, no ID. Just gone,” she said.
Her ex, Justin Serlick, a man she accuses of abuse, gained full custody through an elaborate cross-state scheme involving multiple judges and court appointees.
“I’ve lost five years with my children,” she said. “They trafficked my children across state lines and gagged me for three years.”
Teresita Vega’s testimony added another Florida twist to this judicial horror show.
She filed for divorce and relocation first, listing her address ten times. But lawyer Michael Dale filed a second divorce case days later with the same judge—Judge Kelvin Clyde Wells—who approved both cases.
“Judge Wells knew where I lived. He helped Dale lie to the court. Then he took my kids away in an ex parte order,” Vega said. “He violated my due process rights and gave my daughters to their abuser.”
MY THREE MINUTES CAMPAIGN: TECHNOLOGY MEETS TRUTH
Weigel’s idea was simple but revolutionary: preserve these testimonies using Facebook’s group platform’s blockchain-like permanence.
“Narcissists and liars won’t make three-minute videos on a permanent record,” Weigel said. “But the real victims will. And when someone lies, the public will correct them. That’s the system. The truth surfaces.”
The group will analyze the videos using red-flag indicators from Weigel’s fraud detection playbook.
“I’ve developed proprietary tools for exposing deception in financial markets. Now I’m applying them to family court fraud,” he said. Each video undergoes informal vetting before it becomes part of what Weigel calls a “public ledger of injustice.”
His goal? One thousand verified videos. Every participant ends with a declaration: “I am a victim of the family court system, and I demand an investigation.”
With those, Weigel plans to set up an outdoor digital display outside the office of Michael Horowitz, the Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Justice.
“Two hours of non-stop testimony, on a loop, blasting out of speakers,” he said. “Horowitz will hear every story. He’ll see every face. We’re taking this directly to the top.”
MY THREE MINUTES CAMPAIGN: DATA, NOT DRAMA
“This isn’t just catharsis,” Weigel insisted. “This is statistical verification of racketeering. This is about using media for offense and law for defense.”
He’s built a poll with 30-40 targeted questions.
“For example: how many of you were arrested during your custody battle without a prior criminal record?” he asked. “We know from DOJ data that number should be four to eight percent. Ours will come back at 60–80%. That proves systemic abuse.”
Weigel is also developing an AI-assisted database. Each story, court actor, and decision-maker will be cross-referenced.
“This is how we find patterns—same GALs, same judges, same fake evaluations,” he said.
Journalists Michael Volpe and Richard Luthmann, who host The Unknown Podcast, also received praise.
“This is the first real regulator we’ve seen in this space,” Weigel said. “And it’s the press—investigative journalists and citizen watchdogs. Not the bar. Not the courts.”
MY THREE MINUTES CAMPAIGN: OPEN CALL TO THE WARRIORS
The Family Court Fraud Warrior Project calls on every parent abused by the system to make their stand.
“If you’ve been gagged, threatened, slandered, railroaded—pick up your phone,” Weigel said. “Tell your story. Post it to the group. Let the world see.”
No studio equipment. No fancy editing. Just honesty, pain, and resolve.
Record your “My Three Minutes” story. Post it to the Family Court Fraud Warrior Project Facebook Group. Get it in by JUNE 7.
Expose the truth. Demand an investigation. Be heard.
“Every video adds strength. Every name holds weight. Together, we are documenting the largest civil rights crisis in modern American history,” said Weigel.
And they’re just getting started.
In Arizona, they are actually working to reform Family Court. There is a new video in which Mike Volpe and Richard Luthmann interview the state senator that chairs a new ad hoc committee.

It is this kind of reform that is needed in California and Texas. There are bad actors who shouldn’t be making decisions for children, let alone be near them or talk to them. One of these so called lawyers/ therapists is Valerie Houghton. Ms. Houghton uses her time to talk to teenage boys about the porn that they watch. She also forces young children to be sexually abused for her own financial gain and sexual gratification.
Maybe what is needed is federal legislation. We could ban child abusers in every state from providing therapy or representing kids in court.
These court people are straight trash. How else can you explain a father going to jail after pushing away a guy choking and sexually his daughter? How else can you explain restraining orders against the father after complaining that his daughter is bleeding from different places because she is forced to live with a rapist?
Richard Luthman and Michael Volpe do a good job of exposing the pattern of lawyers covering up the sexual abuse of children. I hope that they also cover Valerie Houghton at some point. She is also guilty of doing these kinds of things to many, many innocent children. I even found complaints of a child who said that Ms. Houghton sexually harassed him by forcing him to talk to her about the porn that he watches. These people are just not fit to even be around children, yet the courts appoint these degenerates to represent the interests of children.
David Weigel is totally right. There are no regulations for these people. I found that complaints get dismissed without action. This needs to change.
