AZ Family Court Bombshell: Dr. Bandy Lee exposes the family court crisis, calling it judicial terrorism, child torture, and racketeering.

AZ FAMILY COURT BOMBSHELL

    Arizona’s family court system is under fire. At a bombshell hearing led by Senator Mark Finchem and Representative Rachel Keshel, world-renowned forensic psychiatrist Dr. Bandy X. Lee torched the judiciary, calling family courts “one of the deadliest places for children.” Dr. Lee testified that judges routinely ignore expert evidence, rely on unqualified hacks, and hand children to abusers. With explosive claims of torture, trafficking, and judicial racketeering, Arizona’s reckoning has begun—and other states are watching. “This is not just unethical—it’s criminal,” Dr. Lee warned. “If we don’t act, the system must be abolished for the safety of our children.”

    Staten Island Family Court Shame: Father Marcello Roque says he was assaulted, silenced, and denied justice by court staff.

    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.

      Fake Family Court Police: Meet the Justice Pretenders

        Meet the Justice Pretenders—the so-called “Family Court Police” that operate with zero oversight and questionable authority. These part-time enforcers don badges from Party City, show up in mismatched uniforms, and terrify families with threats of child abduction. They operate only during business hours, moonlight as clowns by night, and claim to follow “court orders” that rarely exist. With no trauma training and six-figure taxpayer-funded salaries, they rip kids from homes under the guise of child safety. Who are they? What are their qualifications? And how do they get away with it? Let’s expose this system’s worst-kept secret.

        Post Malone’s Legal Encore: How Filing First in Utah Could Swing the Custody Battle

          Post Malone’s custody battle has shifted to Utah, giving him an early advantage. Malone filed for primary custody in Utah just before his ex-fiancée, Hee Sung “Jamie” Park, filed in California. Under the UCCJEA, the child’s home state usually dictates jurisdiction. Malone argues that Utah is the child’s home state, leveraging his property and the child’s alleged primary residence there. Park claims California is home now. For Malone, winning jurisdiction in Utah could mean lower child support payments and better odds for primary custody. Filing first may prove decisive as this legal showdown unfolds.

          My Three Minutes Campaign: Parents post powerful 3-minute videos exposing family court abuse in viral campaign aimed at DOJ and DOGE.

          MY THREE MINUTES CAMPAIGN BLOWS THE ROOF OFF FAMILY COURT CORRUPTION

            The “My Three Minutes” campaign is exploding across social media, led by the Family Court Fraud Warrior Project. Parents from coast to coast are picking up their phones and posting short, powerful videos exposing corruption, abuse, and retaliation inside America’s family courts. From forced gag orders to unlawful child removals, these raw testimonies are building a blockchain-style archive of systemic fraud. Project founder David Weigel says the goal is simple: collect 1,000 verified stories and blast them in front of DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s office. This isn’t protest—it’s data. And it’s becoming impossible to ignore.

            Ding Dong Dead Moskowitz: Her death reignites debate over GAL immunity, judicial overreach, and Connecticut’s broken family court system.

            Ding Dong Dead Moskowitz

              The death of Emily J. Moskowitz has reignited fierce debate over Connecticut’s family court system. Known both as a veteran attorney and a controversial guardian ad litem, Moskowitz was praised by the judiciary for her service and simultaneously condemned by critics as a symbol of unchecked power and judicial overreach. Central to this storm is the landmark Carrubba v. Moskowitz decision, which granted GALs absolute immunity—a legal shield that many argue enables abuse, corruption, and financial exploitation of families in crisis. As praise and scorn pour in, the battle over Moskowitz’s legacy continues to stir outrage and reflection across Connecticut.

              Parental Religious Opt-Outs: Mahmoud v. Taylor and the Battle Over Books, Rights, and Belief in America’s Schools

                A legal firestorm is brewing in Mahmoud v. Taylor, now before the U.S. Supreme Court. At stake: the right of parents to shield their children from public school lessons that clash with religious beliefs. What began as a dispute over LGBTQ+ storybooks in Maryland has exploded into a national fight over the First Amendment, diversity in education, and parental control. As the Court weighs whether public schools can deny opt-out requests, the decision could ripple across classrooms from coast to coast. It’s a defining moment in the clash between faith and curriculum—and the next landmark in America’s culture war.

                Judge Michael L. Ravin

                THE COURTROOM CON: MONICA CIARDI’S SENTENCING EXPOSES NJ’S CORRUPT MACHINE

                  Protective mother Monica Ciardi faces sentencing today in Essex County, NJ, despite no confirmed indictment, no allocution of rights, and no proof she knowingly waived her parental and First Amendment rights. Her felony plea deal—negotiated under pressure, without due process—includes a gag order and opens the door for permanent separation from her children. Critics call it a state-sanctioned shakedown led by corrupt Morris and Essex County officials. With federal eyes now on the case, pressure mounts on Judge Michael L. Ravin to stop what legal advocates say is a court-run extortion racket against a protective mom who refused to stay quiet.

                  Brain Scans Reveal Abuse: Oregon DHS ignores scientific evidence, punishing protective mother Martina Flanigan while endangering her children.

                  Brain Scans Reveal Abuse—Oregon DHS Turns Blind Eye

                    What may be a flashpoint case has gripped Oregon. The Amen Clinic’s SPECT imaging revealed traumatic brain injuries in Martina Flanigan’s children—evidence pointing to severe abuse. Despite this, Oregon’s Department of Human Services (DHS) and Family Court have dismissed the scientific findings, targeting Flanigan for her advocacy. Protective mothers and their families face retaliation, while abusers remain shielded. This case underscores a systemic failure where science is sidelined, and children’s safety is compromised. The question remains: when will Oregon prioritize the well-being of its most vulnerable over bureaucratic denial and institutional inertia?

                      When Michael R. Phillips heard Guns N’ Roses’ Civil War, it didn’t just echo in his ears—it echoed his life. In the lyrics, he found a haunting mirror of his custody battle: the confusion, the emotional wreckage, and the systemic injustice. Family court, he says, isn’t a place of resolution—it’s a war zone dressed in robes. His battle isn’t over territory, but over time with his son. This isn’t just his war. It’s a national tragedy played out in courtrooms every day. And for him, Civil War isn’t a song—it’s a siren screaming for justice.
