    There’s an earthquake in America’s family courts—and parents are done staying quiet. On a Special Report of The Unknown Podcast, investigative journalists Richard Luthmann and Michael Volpe sit down with whistleblowing mom-turned-reporter and podcaster Maryann Petri to expose a cash-for-kids system fueled by Title IV-D money. Petri’s life was shattered by false CPS claims and financial ruin—but she fought back. What emerges is a damning portrait of courts that profit from broken families—and a growing national movement demanding accountability, shared parenting, and real reform before more children are destroyed.

    Mama Bear Runs For Congress: Terri LaPoint launches a bold Alabama congressional run to expose CPS corruption and fight for families.

    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.
