Arizona's Family Court Scandal: Gov. Hobbs vetoes HB 2256, sparking outrage over family court-ordered abuse. Critics call it "sadism."

ARIZONA’S FAMILY COURT SCANDAL

    Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs is under fire for vetoing a bill that aimed to protect children from court-ordered abuse disguised as “therapy.” HB 2256, amended by Senator Mark Finchem and sponsored by Representative Rachel Keshel, would have barred courts from forcing families to pay for controversial reunification programs without consent. Critics accuse Hobbs of siding with court-connected profiteers over traumatized children. “This decision protects the profit motive and self-dealing,” said Finchem. Advocates say the veto enables financial extortion and shields unlicensed actors preying on broken families. Jill Jones Soderman called Hobbs “a sadist” for enabling abuse under the guise of justice.
