Custody Over Care

Ryder Belisle Judicial Homicide: Judge Cook’s Attack Dog Tries to Bite Journalists

    An Ohio judge facing national outrage over a disabled boy’s death sent a private lawyer to threaten a reporter. The move backfired. Emails show attorney Peter Pattakos demanding takedowns, dodging basic questions, and refusing to name his client—while journalists pushed back. The intimidation only deepened scrutiny of Judge Katarina Cook and Judge Linda Tucci Teodosio, whose courts ignored life-or-death medical warnings. Thirty-two days later, Ryder Belisle was dead. What followed was a scramble to shift blame, rewrite timelines, and muzzle the press. The documents tell a different story.

    Ohio Court Kills Kid: Disabled child dies 32 days after judges ignored life-threatening medical warnings, exposing judicial homicide.

    Ohio Court Kills Kid

      A disabled child survived a terminal illness for years under expert care—until family court intervened. In Summit County, Ohio, a judge ignored a written, life-or-death warning from one of America’s top brain doctors and ordered Ryder Belisle removed from the hospital. Thirty-two days later, Ryder was dead. This investigation exposes how judicial pride, CPS corruption, Title IV incentives, and a violent felon father combined to produce what many now call judicial homicide. The cascade to death was medical. The cascade to disaster was judicial.
