STATEN ISLAND FAMILY COURT SHAME
Marcello Roque, a Staten Island father, walked into Richmond County Family Court on May 27, 2025, to protect his daughter. Instead, he says he was assaulted, ejected, and silenced. Court staff blocked his petition. A clerk allegedly said, “This court doesn’t follow constitutional law.” When he began recording, officers swarmed him. One pushed him down the stairs despite his known injuries. Roque filed a police report—but says no action has been taken. His seven-year battle has exposed a judicial system he says protects abusers, silences whistleblowers, and tramples parental rights. Now, he’s demanding answers—and justice.
