MAJOR NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE HIDDEN EPIDEMIC OF FAMILY COURT VIOLENCE: KEYNOTE ADDRESS AND PANELISTS

Celebrated Constitutional Attorney Bruce Fein, Esq., and Renowned Child Psychologist Joyanna Silberg, Ph.D., Urged Urgent Reform of the Abusive Family Courts

On November 11, 2025, for the first time, some of the best minds and the most committed legislators in the country gathered in the historic National Press Club Grand Ballroom, for the Major Landmark Conference on Family Court Violence, to ponder solutions to the raging national epidemic of injustices and human harm.

Bruce Fein, Esq., perhaps the most celebrated constitutional lawyer in the country and former senior advisor in all three branches of the U.S. government, with over fifty years of experience in law, policy, and governance, who has testified before Congress more than 200 times and was on a short list for the U.S. Supreme Court, gave the keynote address. His emphasis was on the structural flaws that invite if not guarantee Family Court abuses and recommended sweeping reforms centered on transparency, cross-examination, qualified immunity, improved judicial selection, and guaranteed counsel for parents and children. He emphasized that meaningful change requires long-term commitment and organized advocacy against expected vehement resistance from those who benefit from the current system.

Below are some highlights:

It has been said that the history of justice is the history of procedural protections — and something that I am an expert in, since I have been here for fifty years — and all through courts, process is essential. And so let me enumerate what I believe are critical components of a reform package and then how we can try to implement this particular program….

I believe perhaps the simplest and one of the most important reforms is transparency. The U.S. Supreme Court has held that you have a constitutional right to attend criminal trials, most civil trials, and this is something that simply does not happen in the typical Family Court system. Justice Brandeis once said that sunshine is the best disinfectant, the electric lamp, the most efficient policeman. So, keeping things secret encourages, emboldens abuses just by itself. I believe Bandy told me that there have been some innovations in Great Britain, where they have opened up the Family Court proceedings and the amount of complaints has diminished by 50 percent overnight. So how do we do this?…. There is a First Amendment right … to attend, but I believe this is a case of legislative reform. There is no reason why state legislatures cannot demand that Family Court matters be held open….

Now, a second element here. I believe there was an expert, Henry Wigmore. He said cross-examination is the greatest engine ever discovered to obtain truth cross-examination and I believe, again, that there should be no participant in a Family Court hearing that can escape cross-examination…. Those in my judgment would probably cure a very large percentage of all the injustices….

One of the things that might be considered in the Family Court is a right to trial by jury…. They will not have nearly the arbitrariness of the single judges that you find at present. And moreover, there is a deliberative element. You have different persons from different backgrounds….

I believe we should have a system of right to counsel. If a parent or party does not have sufficient funds in the criminal justice system, generally you have a right to counsel paid by the government. There ought to be a right to counsel in Family Court as well, including I believe counsel, I have argued, the constitutional right of a child to have independent counsel…. Criminal justice has the highest tier of procedure protections, but I think if you take away the dollar figure, that perhaps Family Court involves more intense psychological stress, anxiety, impact on a person’s life other than criminal justice, maybe in some cases more….

You can even start pilot projects, start out in one state, serve as a model for other states. There is a group called the Commission on Uniform State Laws. When I was in law school, we learned about the Uniform Commercial Code. It is not binding on all states, but we can find uniform family code as being a model legislatures to adopt.

Family Court judges are not usually the people who graduate from Harvard and Yale at the top of class and sit on the Supreme Court, because it does not carry that prestige. I have been in Family Court before, and I am not overly impressed with the intellectual brilliance of the judges. So, that means that we need to be careful about perhaps a new way to recruit and appoint Family Court judges. I believe all these things need to be reexamined, because at present,… there is kind of an incestuous relationship among all those who are working in the Family Court system. They all scratch each other’s back….

Now one of the other things to think about in regards to having a higher quality of judge in addressing Family Court matters, is maybe we should have the family issues put on the agenda of the regular circuit or trial courts. Why do we have just special Family Courts, which means they come with a very narrow mind? In regular civil justice system, in the federal system, one judge handles all sorts of cases, ranging from breach of contract to antitrust to securities laws to gender discrimination, and if you have a generalized experience and background, you may bring more enlightenment to a situation without prejudice than you do if you just have one kind of case….

Now, one of the other elements I believe is disadvantageous to justice is the fact of absolute immunity of the participants. You cannot sue them for anything, even if they act out of malice. That seems to me much too broad. I believe that … the absolute immunity that is conferred on judges and guardian ad litems should be changed to qualified immunity. That is well sufficient for all other government officials. Why shouldn’t it be different at the Family Court level?

Now, let me also suggest, I believe, that in going forward we need to have some kind of political strategy…. We have to have the same organization, the same brains, the same persistence, the same maybe skin in the game, because those who are defending the status quo, they are going to be trying to defend their privileges all the time — 24/7, 365 days a year.

Family Courts are too often places devoid of science and medical fact. Therefore, we invited to speak first on the first panel renowned child psychologist and researcher, Dr. Joyanna Silberg, who is cofounder and president of the influential Leadership Council. While Family Courts do their best to keep their numbers secret, her nonprofit organization pioneered in calculating that more than 58,000 children per year were being placed with an abusive parent by Family Court rulings. Dr. Silberg has also engaged in groundbreaking research on Family Court harm, is a leading expert on child and adolescent trauma, and has served as an expert witness in thirty-one states. She explained that widespread child abuse — especially in high-conflict custody cases — combined with systemic flaws in Family Court routinely cause devastating long-term harm to children, necessitating urgent reform.

Below are some highlights:

Routinely, when allegations of abuse are raised in Family Court, children are being placed with their abusers. To help illuminate some of the reasons for this huge failure, it is important to understand how widespread abuse is, particularly child sexual abuse. Some studies show that child sexual abuse affects up to one in four girls and one in six boys, most commonly perpetrated by people that the children know well or family members. When you add in other forms of abuse like physical abuse, this frequency of abuse in families is even higher.

Now, keep in mind that half of all marriages end in divorce. Given this high rate of abuse and high rate of divorce in our country, you can see that it is very likely that many children who are in the throes of a severe custody dispute will have been abused. Far too many of these children end up residing with the abusive parent. Judges often mistakenly believe that finding abuse in Family Court would be rare. Research from my nonprofit organization, the Leadership Council, estimates that 58,000 children a year are placed in the custody of an abusive parent by Family Court rulings. Significant amounts of academic research and news reports contribute to the mounting evidence of this crisis. This crisis rose to the attention of the Office on Violence against Women, and they requested research proposals to study the issue. And I was awarded a government grant to study failures of Family Court, and I published my findings in 2019.

I opted to study in depth a series of cases in which children were sent to live with a parent who had been accused of abuse, and a later court acknowledged the error and returned the child to their safe environment. These cases were studies in massive system failure. These children with an average age of six, spent an average amount of three years with their abusive parent suffering more harm, depression, suicidal ideation, dissociation, and many of them engaged in various forms of self-harm.

The abusers tended to escalate their behavior during the time the child was in their custody, leading to physical injuries and sometimes criminal convictions. Judges made these initial decisions because abusers are able to manipulate the legal system, using tactics such as gaslighting, victim blaming, character assassination to gain custody of their children. When the abuser alleges that the accusation is a ploy of the other parent to gain custody, judges too often believe them.

Yet, there is a science to understanding the dynamics of abuse, the symptomatology, how it presents, how disclosures occur. Judges depended heavily on evaluators unfamiliar with abuse dynamics, and they tended to ignore direct testimony from the parents who either witnessed the abuse or were told about the abuse. And the parents described well-known symptoms of abuse and disclosures of the children. When these cases were later reversed, and judges were able to acknowledge the previous error. They relied on abuse specialists and evidence-based analysis of symptoms and disclosures of the children.

One of the most frightening outcomes that judges sometimes order is severing all connection with a parent trying to protect the child. Judges may order a child to participate in a reunification camp program where they are threatened with consequences, unless they reconcile with a parent that they claim was abusive. These children are required to state against their will that their accusations were a lie. Despite the massive ethical problems in such mandated programs, these camps remain legal in most states. The court failures would document it can perpetuate cycles of abuse into future generations. We have a duty to ensure that our Family Court system is a place of safety and protection for children, not a playground for abusers to continue their reign of terror.

So what can we do to address this issue and put an end to the cycle of abuse with our Family Court system? We heard some wonderful ideas from Atty. Fein, and I urge all of you to brainstorm creative ideas and listen to the ideas presented in this conference…. By enacting meaningful change within our Family Court system, we can protect children from the horrors of being placed with their abusers and ensure that they have a safe and loving environment in which to thrive. Please listen carefully to the testimony presented here of professionals, journalists, lawyers, survivors, and let the outrage you experience help to fuel your commitment to creative action to reform the broken Family Court system that too often imperils our children.

Subsequent panelists include: Karen Winner, Esq.; Rory Doyle; Ally Toyos; Mia Ambrose; Hon. Mark Finchem; Hon. Rachel Keshel; Hon. Tammy Nichols; Hon. Suzanne Weber; Hon. J.D. Bernardy; and Veronica Baiz (Bandy Lee, M.D., gave the opening).

*Celebrated constitutional lawyer Bruce Fein, Esq., will be drafting the articles of impeachment for Judge Jane Gallina-Mecca. There is still time to sign the petition, to help increase accountability for criminal judges . On December 1, 2025, there will be a hearing for a counter-protective order against her frequent court-appointee, Guardian ad Litem Evelyn Nissirios, who obtained a protective order to restrain Dr. Bandy Lee’s First Amendment-protected criticism of Family Court .

LANDMARK NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE HIDDEN EPIDEMIC OF FAMILY COURT VIOLENCE: OPENING VIDEO AND INTRODUCTION

Shedding Much-Needed Sunlight on the Deadly Family Courts

The above opening video premiered at the Major Landmark Conference on the Hidden Epidemic of Family Court Violence, held at the prestigious National Press Club Grand Ballroom, where much history has happened, on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. It was followed by a dinner with the speakers in the First Amendment Lounge.

I gave the following introductory remarks:

Welcome to this critical conference, addressing perhaps the least known public health emergency of our time. It is Family Court Awareness Month, created to raise public consciousness of a deadly epidemic and national crisis (please see below for its creator, Tina Swithin’s, remarks). Tens of thousands of innocent children and families are being destroyed each year, for up to 175 billion dollars in profit that pass through the Family Courts. And victims and witnesses are being incarcerated without due process, simply for speaking about what has happened to them.

“Courts” are not places we associate with lawlessness or helping violent criminals commit their crimes. We think of Family Courts as places where we go to solve family problems, not create them where none existed, or amplify already life-endangering domestic violence and child abuse. Yet, cases that would have taken weeks or months in criminal court to be resolved the right way, enter Family Court and take years or even decades, only to end up the wrong way. Criminals are exonerated, innocent victims are emotionally and financially devastated, and millions of children have been traumatized for life.

The human rights abuses I alone have observed, as an expert witness in approximately 70 Family Court cases across 30 different states, are the reason that propelled me to organize this conference. For the first time, legislators, experts, journalists, and survivors have gathered from all around the country to recognize this as a national emergency that requires urgent solutions. We need action, now.

Despite unseasonably cold temperatures dropping to 20 degrees Fahrenheit on November 11, 2025, snowstorms to the Midwest, and national travel disruptions due to an unprecedented 8-week federal government shutdown — with all airports in Washington, DC, affected — the prestigious National Press Club Grand Ballroom was completely packed with travelers from all regions of the country! Extra chairs needed to be added, and still there were people remaining standing….

There were more standing ovations than a frequent visitor journalist has seen in this Grand Ballroom in years, possibly decades, according to him! It speaks to the urgency of the issue and poignancy of what was discussed.

A renowned former chair of psychology and psychiatry remarked:

Congratulations on a very successful conference…. perhaps there’s hope.

Amazing the damage this does. You could tell from the people asking questions the degree of PTSD in the room. Probably matched any room full of Iraqi war veterans. So sad.

In my own experience, the severity of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) I see in Family Courts matches only that of political asylum seekers the Yale law students I used to teach represented: those who have witnessed their entire family killed before them, have endured gang rape in prison, and saw their entire village burned down for daring to oppose a dictatorial government…. Young women are dying of heart attacks without prior conditions, “broken heart syndrome,” autoimmune diseases that paralyze them from waist down, miscarriages, cancers, stroke, and suicide.

Every child psychiatrist knows that the worst thing that can happen to children is for them to be separated from the loving parent who raised them, as if she were dead — much less be isolated with a violent abuser. Every human knows that the worst thing that can happen to a loving parent is for her to be torn from her beloved children, as if they were dead — much less know that they are being tortured every day. Death would be preferable, for then friends, family, and community grieve with you. Yet, shockingly, this is regular Family Court practice.

The conference was supported by the Institute of Forensic Science, an organization dedicated to bringing rigorous medical standards to Family Court proceedings, and Physicians Worldwide, a branch of the World Mental Health Coalition that seeks to raise awareness of Family Court violence as a medical issue, affecting the safety and survival of our children.

Special thanks go to Una, Hana, Adrienne, M., Susan, Mark, and Patricia for their tireless efforts and sacrifices behind the scenes; Veronica Baiz for her help in organizing the legislators; Tina Swithin and Christine McGinley for their publicity and survey data; and Catherine Jones, Kevin Robertson, and Amelia Langston, who so impressively rose to the occasion for our media needs.

Although they eventually decided not to send their camera crew, it was significant that C-SPAN seriously inquired and considered it — and that CNN, ABC, Washington Post, Fox News, and other mainstream media-connected reporters were present! A notable journalist who has written feature stories for the New York Times, the Guardian, and BBC came, as well as Julie Anderson-Holburn from California.

While senators and representatives came from four states of all regions — Arizona, Idaho, Oregon, and New Hampshire — many more responded that they would have come, had their schedules allowed it!

Personal stories and testimonies poured out during the question-and-answer sessions, and the most powerful part is perhaps that so many gathered in one place to affirm and express solidarity with one another in this struggle.

Here is a sample response:

What an absolutely extraordinary event you created! I’m still moved by the energy, the unity, and the hope you brought to so many people. Thank you for the incredible work you do every single day. You have quickly built a national bridge that connects families, world-renowned experts, and political leaders….

And you’ve done all of this while being relentlessly targeted by judges, GAL’s, corrupt attorneys, and abusers you’ve bravely exposed. Your courage in the face of that adversity is inspiring to people around the world…. I’m already looking forward to next year’s event!

Here is sample feedback from a panelist:

It was a great conference, marvelous speakers, huge energy. I hope it moves us somewhere…. Attorney Bruce Fein had many powerful ideas.

Here are One Mom’s Battle Tina Swithin’s remarks:

November is Family Court Awareness Month, a movement I created because the crisis in our family courts must be tackled from every angle. There is not one solution. We need legislation, but when judges act without oversight or accountability, it becomes the Wild West for survivors and children.

I founded this initiative because most Americans have no idea this crisis exists. Family Court Awareness Month gives survivors a way to start these conversations in their own communities and bring the truth to light.

I wish I could be there with you today because this next step matters. Every single day, children are being sent into abusive homes, and survivors are being failed. We have raised awareness, and now we need action. We need media attention, accountability, and reform.

There is a deadly epidemic that is raging throughout the country, largely hidden from public view. Family Courts routinely exercise predatory alienation of loving parents from their children in partnership with the psychologically, sexually, or physically violent perpetrator in the family to sell “justice” to him (sometimes her) and to serve as hit persons for his (sometimes her) violence. It is a lucrative business for Family Courts to exploit the prevalence of family violence, to bring in more revenue than all other courts combined, for their state-sponsored kidnapping, destruction of children, and the moral equivalent of a child slave trade.

The purpose of this landmark conference on Family Court Violence Awareness Month was to bring Sunlight to the fact that, instead of serving the public, Family Courts are harming it in destructive and deadly ways. It highlighted the structural flaws that invite if not guarantee Family Court crimes:
1. Blanket secrecy
2. Flagrantly unconstitutional gag orders and prior restraints
3. Near-ubiquitous violations of due process
4. Poorly-trained, unqualified, or even fraudulent “experts”
5. Incompetent, corrupt, or criminal court appointees, such as “guardians ad litem”
6. Judicial incompetence, corruption, or criminality
7. Lack of accountability, turning “immunity” into impunity

[All the above apply to Judge Jane Gallina-Mecca and “Guardian ad Litem” Evelyn Nissirios, who criminally co-conspired with Alan T. Chan to steal Patricia Lee’s children. She has not seen or heard from them for over four years since the child theft, when Nissirios and Alan T. Chan orchestrated a false police raid to seize them without notice, warning, or even semblance of due process, by lying to law enforcement and perjuring in court (Nissirios has almost 600 documented counts and Alan T. Chan over 1000 documented counts) — which are felony crimes. The fact that Gallina-Mecca cannot hold a single plenary hearing, or allow Patricia Lee to access a single transcript in her own case, reveals how tightly coordinated these criminal actions are and how aware they are of their guilt.]

Family Court violence is a national epidemic of crisis proportions, responsible for almost 1000 documented child murders since 2008. A similar number of suicides will have occurred, not to mention suicides (or murders) of loving parents that Family Courts facilitated. Indeed, a powerful new study from the U.K. (since it forced open its Family Courts in 2024) reveals that mothers who enter Family Court are 7.8 times more likely to die in 10 years. Mothers who lose custody in Family Court are 13.7 times more likely to die (common causes are murder, cancer, heart attack, substance use, and suicide). For every death, there are hundreds of injuries requiring medical attention, either in a hospital or a clinic.

All this occurs in the context of approximately 58,500 children per year being “soul murdered,” according to calculations made in 2008. As this extremely conservative estimate of children Family Courts are sending to their abusers was made 17 years ago, numbers may have at least doubled, given escalating abuses of “absolute immunity” and practical impunity. As such, Family Courts perhaps pose one of the greatest psychological threats to our society and even our future ability to remain a democracy.

Public awareness is key to stopping this hideous yet hidden public health emergency — for what population would tolerate a “justice” system that betrays public trust and abuses taxpayer funds to run a mafia organization? It is time Family Courts are held to account and reined in if not abolished.

*Foremost constitutional lawyer Bruce Fein, Esq., will be drafting the articles of impeachment for Judge Jane Gallina-Mecca, whose removal proceedings are set to follow a number of other judges’ impeachments in January 2026. There is still time to sign the petition, to help make examples of criminal judges and to demonstrate that judicial misconduct should not be tolerated, with impeachment to follow more easily.

Be a Part of this Landmark Event, Exposing the Deadly Family Court Corruption!

A groundbreaking, historic conference is about to occur.

For the first time, state legislators, medical and legal experts, journalists, and former child victims of Family Court will gather in Washington to address the hidden but epidemic harms occurring through the Family Courts at the National Press Club Ballroom on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m., followed by a buffet dinner.

The Conference aims to lay the foundation for Congressional and State legislative hearings into the structural flaws that invite if not guarantee Family Court abuses or injustices: blanket secrecy; flagrantly unconstitutional gag orders and prior restraints; routine violations of due process; the use of poorly-trained or unqualified “experts”; judicial incompetence; and a lack of legislative oversight, including impeachment and removal from office for judicial misconduct. The goal is a Uniform Family Court Code for consideration by all 50 States and the District of Columbia.

Each Should Grab Front-Page Headlines Every Day — But do Not because Judges Commit Them

I have spoken of the rampant — almost ubiquitous — judicial criminality in the Family Courts. Below is one of the most heartbreaking cases I have witnessed, in which the beauty, the flourishing, and the utmost happiness of a loving mother and three children were simply taken away — and their lives crushed in a hellscape of nightmarish proportions. It was one of my first introductions to Family Court, which would subsequently convince me that the public health emergency in the Family Courts is greater than the scandalous American prisons, on which I had been working — including on Rikers Island, the notorious New York City jail complex for which my report on the subculture of violence, gang rape, gladiator fights, and murder with impunity helped bring in the federal investigators.

The Family Court’s forced, total transmogrification of these children’s and mother’s lives (the daughter recently gave a very moving interview, in a trend of former child victims coming forward against all odds) was utterly unnecessary and artificially-induced. Like many victims of Family Court, I never imagined this level of human rights abuse possible outside of countries like Afghanistan, China, or the Democratic Republic of Congo. Yet, all is disguised in legal mumbo jumbo, as if sending countless children to their rape, battery, sex trafficking, and actual murder if not soul murder were a legitimate judicial act. In most courts, immunity is extended to me, and I am protected from lawsuits — in fact, in my twenty-five years of being an expert witness I have never been sued — but in Family Court, the abusive father, so enabled and emboldened by years of impunity, launched one against me.

A thriving, international gymnast before Family Court removed her from her loving mother, Mia Ambrose had grown morbidly obese and mutilated herself under her abusive father’s “care” — from which she is finally recovering after emancipation

The article below is not about how his goal of totally destroying his family was achieved — and magnified a hundredfold with the help of Family Court — but about his character pathology. I attest to its factuality and flawless reporting (in the actual article, one can find exhibits and pictures of his lavish waterfront house).

The $405 Lie: How a Fallen TV Writer Exposed His Own Psychopathy

October 24, 2025

By Frank Parlato

When Hollywood writer Christopher Ambrose returned home to Connecticut after being caught plagiarizing on Bones in 2018, he was unemployable but sitting on $2 million in marital assets.

He then weaponized a controversial legal theory — “parental alienation” — to flip the script. He documented ordinary family conflict, enlisted paid professionals, and built a case that his wife was turning the children against him.

Ambrose retained Attorney Nancy Aldrich, a political insider whose son sat on the state’s judicial reappointment committee. She and court-appointed Guardian ad Litem Jocelyn Hurwitz steered the case to Judge Jane Grossman — then seeking reappointment and known for separating mothers from children under the alienation doctrine.

The Custody Reversal

On a Friday night, the court ordered the three children — then 13, 13, and 9 — removed from the home where they had lived with their mother their entire lives and sent to live with the father they feared.

Hurwitz billed over $200,000; Aldrich, more than $500,000. The mother was silenced — barred from testifying, denied access to the custody report, and cut off from her own children.

Riordan, a stay-at-home mother of thirteen years with no record of abuse or neglect, lost everything: her children, her home, and her life savings. Ambrose kept the marital assets and even seized her $150,000 inheritance. He now lives in a $2.4 million beachfront home, while the mother he branded an alienator, lives without her children and is homeless.

In time, the children’s distress became public — videos, hospital visits, police calls — all ignored by a court system that had already chosen its narrative. Ambrose had won.

Despite the court’s order, the children repeatedly tried to escape to their mother. Ambrose pursued them, using restraining orders and police intervention to forcibly return them to his home, eventually outfitting the home with locks, bars, cameras, and alarms to keep them from escaping.
Finally, Mia escaped at 17, and is now 18 and beyond his legal control.

The Psychiatrist’s Warning

In a May 3, 2023, letter addressed to Ambrose’s ex-wife, Karen Riordan, forensic psychiatrist Dr. Bandy X. Lee, M.D., M.Div. — a nationally recognized violence expert and former Yale Law and Psychiatry faculty member — reported her preliminary findings after nine hours of review and interviews.

Dr. Lee wrote that, based on Ambrose’s written communications, review of case materials, interviews, and collateral evidence, she found “critical evidence of potential danger to the children, pointing to the need for a diagnostic evaluation.”

“I believe I have enough information to make a preliminary assessment of your ex-husband’s personality configuration — with an emphasis on the extent to which he may manifest characteristics of psychopathic personality.”

Using the Hare Psychopathy Checklist–Revised (PCL-R) — the standard diagnostic tool for psychopathy — Dr. Lee concluded:

“Mr. Ambrose’s score adds up to 32. This is strongly suggestive that a diagnosis of psychopathy is present and justified — or, at the very least, that disturbing levels of psychopathic features are present.”

A score of 30 or higher constitutes “full-blown psychopathy.”

Dr. Lee noted hallmark features, including pathological lying, a lack of empathy, a failure to accept responsibility, and poor behavioral controls. She wrote that such individuals often exhibit a “manipulative and predatory relational style” and can “mislead, cheat, or otherwise violate the rights of other people.”

“They, through a superficially charming presentation, are often capable of eliciting exceptional levels of sympathy from others as an effective means of escaping accountability for their violence… They may recruit others as ‘patrons’ or ‘pawns’ to help them turn the narrative around to incriminating their victims instead.”

Dr. Lee also warned that

“Separating growing children from their mother and primary caregiver is one of the worst forms of abuse… and can be a sign of this dangerous personality disorder.”

Dr. Lee recommended that a forensic court-ordered evaluation be conducted to confirm her findings:

“This potential for Mr. Ambrose’s dangerousness, especially where children are involved, should not be overlooked.”

Ambrose’s response was to sue Dr. Lee for defamation.

The Affidavit That Gave Him Away

When he filed his lawsuit, Ambrose filed in forma pauperis, allowing him to sue without paying the $405 fee if he could show financial hardship.

He submitted an affidavit describing his financial circumstances.

In his March 2025 affidavit, Ambrose claimed:

“I am not employed… My gross pay or wages are $0.00… I support the kids and myself by invading my modest 401(k).”

Ambrose also claimed he had “no income” — yet acknowledged he was “invading [his] modest 401(k)” to support himself and his children. That statement alone acknowledges taxable income.

Ambrose described the account as “modest,” but family members, including his daughter, say it holds roughly $1 million. Family members describe him discussing tax-loss harvesting, Roth conversions, and outside accounts — hardly the language of financial distress.

Ambrose is in an active lawsuit against his brothers, Neil and Colin, over their parents’ $2.5 million estate, with his share estimated at $800,000. Even though the inheritance had not yet been paid out, federal disclosure rules (28 U.S.C. §1915) required him to report it as an expected asset. He did not.

The Pattern of Deceit

In his sworn affidavit, Ambrose wrote:

“I have been unemployed for three years and unable to find work, mainly because my ex-wife has waged a vicious, very public online smear campaign against me.”

Ambrose has been unemployed for seven years, since 2018, when his career as a television writer ended following a plagiarism scandal that preceded the online accusations he now cites.
By stating he had been unemployed for “three years,” Ambrose shifted the timeline to imply that his job loss was caused by the alleged defamation rather than by his professional misconduct.
It conceals the true cause of his unemployment — a reputational scandal unrelated to Dr. Lee — which is directly relevant to whether she caused any harm.

In his in forma pauperis affidavit, Ambrose wrote:

“I have sole legal and physical custody of our three children: our younger son, SA, is 14; our older son, Matthew, and daughter, Mia, are 18 but full-time high school students. I provide all their financial support.”

This statement was false:

Mia Ambrose, age 18, no longer lived with him at the time of the affidavit (March 2025). She left his home in July 2024, lives in another state, and has no financial support from him.

Matthew Ambrose, also 18, had withdrawn from high school on March 12, 2025 — four days before Ambrose signed the affidavit.

Ambrose rents and resides at 153 Middle Beach Road, Madison, Connecticut — a four-bedroom, waterfront property overlooking the Fence Creek Estuary, directly across from East Wharf Beach Park.

The home’s estimated market value is approximately $2.4 million, and his lease lists rent at $3,750 per month.

In his affidavit, however, Ambrose told the court he paid $2,450 in rent — $1,300 less than the actual figure.

In his sworn affidavit, Christopher Ambrose claimed: “Groceries approximately $750 per month.”

He did not disclose that he was already receiving federal SNAP benefits, which he falsely described as something he “just learned [he was] eligible for.”

State records show he had been collecting SNAP since December 2024 — four months before he filed the affidavit.

Failing to list it — while presenting grocery costs as though he paid them out of pocket — misleads the court about his true financial condition.

Had Ambrose accurately reported his benefits, the $750 “expense” would be offset or eliminated.

For a four-person household with no income, Connecticut’s SNAP allotment is about $740 to $770 per month, almost identical to the figure he listed as a personal expense. By omitting that he was on SNAP, Ambrose effectively billed the government twice — once for groceries, and once to the court.

The Clinical Match

Ambrose’s affidavit reveals pathological lying and deception, beginning with misstating his rent by more than a thousand dollars, concealing months of SNAP benefits, and claiming a dependent who no longer lived with him. He understated his assets, downplayed his retirement funds, and misrepresented the reason for his unemployment.

Ambrose did not deny the truth outright — he phrased it artfully, telling the court he had “just learned” he was eligible for food stamps, a half-truth designed to evoke sympathy while obscuring that he had already been receiving them for months.

It was a calculated deceit — manipulative by design.

Threaded through the document is the tone of egocentricity and grandiosity — the man as misunderstood martyr, the sole provider heroically supporting his children, even as he falsifies their circumstances to preserve his narrative. Nowhere does he acknowledge having deprived his ex-wife of marital assets or misled the court; instead, he recasts himself as the casualty of a “vicious smear campaign,” claiming that others’ cruelty — not his own conduct — left him destitute.

His callousness and lack of empathy show in his willingness to use those children as props in litigation, invoking their names and alleged dependence while knowing at least one had fled his home and disavowed his support.

Finally, there is the irresponsibility of a man who claims poverty while living in a multimillion-dollar beach house, failing to disclose income sources, benefits, and control of family assets.

The Proof in Writing

If Ambrose lied on his in forma pauperis affidavit, he faces serious legal consequences: the court must dismiss his case under §1915(e)(2)(A) and may refer the matter for perjury.

The affidavit reads less like a plea for relief than an exhibit of the disorder Dr. Lee diagnosed — a document of manipulation, deceit, and self-justification that seems to prove her point more clearly than any test score could. By lying, omitting, and manipulating in a sworn federal filing, he demonstrates the pathological deceit, self-justification, and absence of conscience that define the psychopathic personality Dr. Lee described.

A psychologically healthy person would not risk felony perjury to save $405. A psychopathic personality might — because the impulse to deceive, to control the narrative, and to elicit sympathy overrides rational self-interest.

The man who sued to prove he wasn’t a psychopath proved it himself, in writing, for $405.

The ‘Poster Child’ of Family Court Confronts the Queen of Tyrannical Rule

Patricia Lee was evicted from her home of ten years without a hearing, while disabled and unable even to pack. She was never disabled before Family Court, and now she confronts the tyrannical “judge” who took everything from her in some kind of quid pro quo arrangement with her murderous ex-husband, Alan T. Chan. Very simply, this “judge” kidnapped her children, destroyed her health, liquidated her wealth, and evicted her from the residence she half owns, without even the pretense of a judicial process — and then “sealed” the case so that no one can find out about her judicial crimes. However, these reckless abuses of power are only typical of Family “Court” — all too familiar for those who have been through it! — and here Patricia Lee brings her case to federal court:

Comes now Plaintiff, PATRICIA J. LEE,… and files this … Complaint seeking declaratory and injunctive relief against Defendant Judge JANE GALLINA-MECCA for flagrant violations of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) and 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff states as follows:

INTRODUCTION

1. This civil rights action arises from Defendant [Gallina-Mecca]’s unlawful denial of constitutional rights and retaliation against Plaintiff, which resulted in the loss of her children, her assets, her home, and almost her life.

2. By refusing Plaintiff access to court processes, rescinding existing disability accommodations, and proceeding with trials in Plaintiff’s absence — and then sealing all records so that Plaintiff cannot discover what happened — Defendant [Gallina-Mecca] violated Title II of the ADA, 42 U.S.C. § 12132, and the Fourteenth Amendment, enforceable through 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

3. Defendant [Gallina-Mecca] has also engaged in civil rights violations through discrimination against Plaintiff and engagement in actions listed in 42 U.S.C. § 12203(b) that constitute coercion, intimidation, threats, and interference with Plaintiff’s exercise of her rights under ADA to access a fair trial.

4. Plaintiff seeks declaratory and injunctive relief to remedy new and ongoing abuses of authority under color of law and to ensure that she is afforded her legal rights going forward….

PARTIES

7. Plaintiff Patricia J. Lee (“Plaintiff”) is an individual residing in Bergen County, New Jersey, once hailed a “hero of the nation” for being a principal coordinator on Ground Zero after the greatest enemy attack on U.S. soil, September 11, 2001. As a high-level executive in the New York State Governor’s Office, she had to pass top security clearances, including mental health. She subsequently applied her humanitarianism and organizing skills to child rearing, becoming a trusted advisor for parents and teachers in her neighborhood when she moved to Bergen County. Despite evaluations by world-renowned mental health experts, unanimously declaring her as having “excellent mental health” and “exceptional talent in parenting,” a lone judge in Bergen County Family Court continued to accuse her of mental unfitness, based on the report of a single unlicensed “associate counselor” who said her speech was “tangential”. Over five (5) years of litigation, the judge engaged in such harassment, terroristic threats, attempts at murder, and removal of normal protections, that Plaintiff would develop what September 11 and a dozen years of domestic violence had not caused: post-traumatic stress disorder (“PTSD”) and life-threatening, malignant hypertension. She thus became a qualified individual with a court-caused disability, which led to numerous near-lethal hypertensive episodes, multiple hospitalizations, an admission to the intensive care unit (“ICU”), and permanent brain injuries that require accommodations such as Communication Access Realtime Translation (“CART”).

8. Defendant Judge Jane Gallina-Mecca is a judge of the Superior Court of New Jersey, Bergen County, Family Part. She has been the presiding judge for Plaintiff’s above litigation, in which her ex-husband, Alan T. Chan, filed for divorce, full custody, all marital assets, his legal fees, and full possession of the house. Defendant proceeded to grant him 100 percent of his demands, under color of law regardless of absence of merit, and she is sued in her official capacity for circumventing all due process and barring Plaintiff’s access to the courts, while also serving as his “hit woman” — almost murdering Plaintiff multiple times. Most significantly, she obstructed Plaintiff’s access to the courts by denying physician-recommended ADA accommodations, holding hearings critical to her in her absence and prohibiting access to all transcripts, including for her appeal. Defendant [Gallina-Mecca] is sued for these violations outside her judicial role as well as for prospective declaratory and injunctive relief.

FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS

9. Family law proceedings are notorious for violating the human rights of women and children for financial and institutional benefit, specifically by rewarding violent perpetrators with custody and property against credible evidence of domestic abuse. The phenomenon has been meticulously documented by the Human Rights Council of the United Nations General Assembly, 53rd session, 19 June-14 July 2023, Agenda item 3, Report of the Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls, its causes and consequences, 13 April 2023 (A/HRC/53/36).

10. According to scientific research, women not only develop severe disabilities upon entering family court, they are twelve (12) times more likely to die within ten (10) years when they lose custody of their children, than if they never entered family court. https://ijpds.org/article/view/2646. It is often the worst thing that can happen to children and/or their loving parent. Plaintiff went from perfect health to requiring 24-hour care since entering family court, suffering irreparable brain injuries and an inability to walk without a cane, after stress-induced muscle contractions collapsed her left knee.

11. Children are also murdered by a separating parent at alarmingly high rates, such that an organization testified to the U.S. Congress after documenting almost one thousand (1000) murders in seventeen (17) years. https://centerforjudicialexcellence.org/cje-projects-initiatives/child-murder-data/. Plaintiff’s children also suffered near-lethal injuries by Plaintiff’s ex-husband, Mr. Chan, in the context of his filing for divorce, before a restraining order against him was removed without a trial and he was rewarded full custody.

12. The above occurred under a total denial of due process and access to the courts, in the following, non-exclusive ways:

a. When Plaintiff developed life-threatening, stress-induced hypertension, for which she was in the emergency room two (2) days prior and requested an ADA-qualifying adjournment, Defendant [Gallina-Mecca] held an ex-parte “hearing” and approved a police raid instead, which almost caused Plaintiff’s demise. Similar incidents would repeat, up to September 3, 2025, during which Defendant [Gallina-Mecca] engaged in reckless actions physicians explicitly warned against.

b. Plaintiff’s children were removed from her based on a court-initiated “emergency hearing,” which excluded Plaintiff and never involved an evidentiary hearing during, before, or since for the next four (4) years, according to Plaintiff’s knowledge and belief. Plaintiff has still not seen or heard from her children for even one (1) minute during these years of separation, to the great alarm of experts involved in the case.

c. In January 2022, Plaintiff was threatened with incarceration if she divulged anything about her case. Plaintiff demanded to see the “sealing order,” of which she was only served in February 2022 but which was apparently issued in October 2021 without notice, due process, stated reason, or narrow tailoring [as required by law] — and would be primarily used to “seal” Plaintiff unconstitutionally from her own case.

d. In May 2024, at the commencement of Plaintiff’s divorce trial, Defendant [Gallina-Mecca] rescinded Plaintiff’s ADA accommodations of the previous three (3) years — which permitted her to attend proceedings remotely — despite physicians’ warning that in-person attendance at the courthouse could pose an “unacceptable clinical risk of mortal outcome.” Defendant [Gallina-Mecca] insisted on in-person attendance, which predictably excluded Plaintiff from her own trial, and subsequently granted Plaintiff’s ex-husband full custody, all marital assets, his legal fees, and full possession of the house in her absence.

e. In June 2025, Plaintiff was denied access to a hearing after requesting CART services, as per her physicians’ recommendation — due to her new-onset memory problems associated with hypertension-induced brain injuries on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scans, performed in April 2025. Plaintiff requested but was denied an opportunity for input, before an order was issued for her eviction from her residence of ten (10) years, which she jointly owned, under multiple due process violations (Plaintiff’s ex-husband was granted power of attorney over an existing, valid power of attorney Plaintiff had designated for the previous three years; allowed to disregard Plaintiff’s preference to buy out the house; permitted to ignore his debt to Plaintiff’s sister, which is almost twice the equity of the house; allowed to enter the house over an active restraining order; and authorized also to evict Plaintiff’s sister, who had been a valid tenant with rights under written agreement for the past five years).

f. On July 30, 2025, Plaintiff was denied access to her eviction trial, in direct retaliation against her for requesting ADA accommodations, which would eventually be granted on August 7, 2025 — but without utility, as Defendant [Gallina-Mecca] would not reconsider or hold another hearing. Plaintiff’s eviction was therefore decided in her absence, in a total absence of due process.

g. On September 3, 2025, Plaintiff was evicted from her home and all her belongings. To the end, she attempted to stay the eviction, but no due process was afforded her. She was not even given an opportunity to pack, as she is disabled and her physicians warned that displacement at this time could be life-threatening, as she had not yet recovered from a recent ICU admission. Defendant [Gallina-Mecca]’s close collaboration with Mr. Chan, ordering Plaintiff to maintain her life insurance beyond the divorce — with Mr. Chan as beneficiary — has prompted medical and legal experts to call Defendant’s actions, “attempted murder” (in the event of Plaintiff’s demise, Mr. Chan would be rewarded one million dollars; Mr. Chan had recently collected the life insurances of his mother and his sister, while incurring, during similar periods, federal adjudications and sanctions of tens of millions of dollars for financial fraud — a record of which Defendant [Gallina-Mecca] was fully aware). If not for the dozens of friends who rallied around her and the public’s support — as she caught the attention of several legislators — Plaintiff may indeed have expired that day, as her blood pressures recorded 180/120 mmHg (considered life-threatening).

13. Notable is Defendant [Gallina-Mecca]’s insistence that Plaintiff is “mentally unfit” — without mental health background of her own, and against twelve (12) highly-credentialed medical experts from around the country who evaluated Plaintiff’s situation and either unanimously found Plaintiff to have “excellent mental health” (other than situational PTSD) and/or found Plaintiff’s ex-husband to have “psychopathy” (a dangerous personality disorder prone to criminal violence) and be a danger to her children. When Defendant [Gallina-Mecca]’s own appointed guardian ad litem, Linda Schofel, affirmed the credentials and high-caliber report of one (1) of these experts, Defendant [Gallina-Mecca] promptly fired Ms. Schofel for fulfilling her appointed role.

14. To the end, Defendant [Gallina-Mecca] engaged in name-calling Plaintiff as “contumacious” and “mentally unfit,” without a single evidentiary finding. Instead, Defendant [Gallina-Mecca]’s deprivation of Plaintiff’s constitutional rights, including to her children, her property, and potentially her life preceded any response, “contumacious” or otherwise, on Plaintiff’s part. The denial of Plaintiff’s access to the courts, transcripts, and now the possibility of appeal — all of which are fundamental due process rights — and doing so by “sealing” all court cases against her, raises the possibility of intentional misconduct and the intention to cover up misconduct through an abuse of judicial process. Multiple physician letters have confirmed that Plaintiff requires transcripts for her new, court-caused disability — specifically brain injuries affecting her memory — and yet Plaintiff has not been allowed access to a single transcript. From October 2020 to this day, Plaintiff’s numerous requests, motions, and applications to appellate court to subpoena the transcripts, or even audio recordings, have been denied….

Help Us to Expose a Hidden, Deadly Crisis!

The Family Court system in our country is seriously corrupt, extremely dangerous to families, especially to women and children, and opens wide the door to judicial criminality in ways few Americans can fathom unless they have experienced it. While it is disturbing to consider that a system set up to protect families is in fact preying on them, the problem will not solve itself unless the public demands it.

Thus, for the first time ever, we are organizing a major national conference in Washington, DC, that will expose this growing humanitarian and constitutional crisis. The event will take place next month in the Grand Ballroom of the National Press Club, the nation’s most prominent venue for major policy announcements and human rights discussions.

One of the country’s most celebrated constitutional and human rights attorneys, Bruce Fein, Esq., will give the keynote address. Acclaimed forensic psychiatrist, Bandy Lee, M.D., who taught at the Yale School of Medicine and Yale Law School for 17 years and is now chief medical officer of the Institute of Forensic Science — dedicated to bringing rigorous science into the Family Courts — will be organizing the event.

Dr. Lee has previously very successfully organized two major national conferences at the National Press Club in which key Congress members have spoken. The first was held in 2019 and was considered so important, it was broadcast by C-Span in full for the entire three hours. The second held last year was featured full-page in the influential Politico publication and assembled 19 distinguished speakers, including retired military generals, a former Republican member of Congress, a former White House chief ethics lawyer in the Bush/Cheney Administration, and many top academic experts and public intellectuals who all came together for the public interest.

As Dr. Lee has said: “I could not have imagined the violence and trauma coming out of the Family Courts just a few years ago. Now, after years of research and first-hand experience as an expert witness in nearly 70 cases across the country, I now recognize this as one of the most urgent public health crises of our day. Children and women are dying, and hundreds of thousands of lives are being destroyed for profit, year after year — and the public is in the dark because of gag orders and court seals.”

Speakers and an anticipated large audience will be coming to the conference from all over the country. Among the many speakers will be key legislators who have already sparked a national movement, long-time activists, health professionals, and former child victims of Family Court. Dr. Lee herself testified at hearings this year held in both Arizona and Idaho about the corruption and dangers to families of Family Courts. Her testimonies:

Arizona Testimony of Dr. LeeIdaho Testimony of Dr. Lee

This historic conference in Washington, DC, will serve as a prelude to a proposed Congressional hearing on Family Court reform — an essential step toward national oversight, a Uniform Family Court Code, and the end of judicial impunity in this most unregulated and dangerous arena of government.

How You Can Help

As with previous conferences, it is now vital that this fundraising effort be successful to cover the considerable costs of putting on and promoting this urgently needed conference. We greatly appreciate your contributions to help make this happen! We urgently need your help to fund:

PRESS RELEASE — MAJOR NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON FAMILY COURTS TO BE HELD IN WASHINGTON, DC, FOLLOWED BY PLANNED CONGRESSIONAL HEARING

Also Featured will be Judge Jane Gallina-Mecca’s Impeachment and Her Now Infamous Actions in Patricia Lee’s Case

NATIONWIDE — A landmark national conference on Family Courts will take place this fall in Washington, DC, convened by Dr. Bandy X. Lee, a renowned forensic psychiatrist, violence expert, and public health advocate, alongside other leading academics, journalists, and survivors of the harm and injustice Family Courts inflict on children and families across the country. The event builds on the national momentum of a growing body of legislatures holding official hearings about the national crisis of the Family Courts.

The initial session will be held in the Ballroom of the National Press Club, where Dr. Lee has previously organized major national events. One was broadcast for its full three hours on C-SPAN, while another was featured full-page in Politico. Following opening remarks, Dr. Lee will deliver a keynote presentation on the case of her sister, Patricia Lee, and how her two children came to be exposed to unspeakable and unnecessary violence, because of grave judicial misconduct. Now, impeachment proceedings against the judge, Jane Gallina-Mecca, led by famed Washington Constitutional attorney Bruce Fein, are underway.

The next session will move to Capitol Hill, where members of Congress are expected to attend. Members of the national press are anticipated to cover the event. The conference is intended to lay the foundation for a full Congressional Hearing on Family Courts, now being pursued with the support of legislators from states across the country. Many of the legislatures have already held or will be holding hearings on the widespread abuse, systemic injustice, and the silencing of victims of violence in the Family Courts.

“This conference will bring long-hidden truths into the open,” says Dr. Lee. “It is about in a system that, instead of protecting the most vulnerable and innocent members of society, has preyed upon them.”

Dr. Lee, who has most recently testified before the Arizona and Idaho legislatures, has warned of the devastating impacts of unchecked judicial authority. The case of Patricia Lee and her children exemplifies the broader crisis: Judge Gallina-Mecca has shielded and enriched an abuser — Alan T. Chan, a man documented to be psychopathic, violently abusive, and homicidal — while stripping the protective mother of custody and evicting her from her home. Over 3,000 petitioners have already called for Judge Gallina-Mecca’s impeachment.

Famed Lawyer Bruce Fein Appears in New Jersey Court with Dr. Bandy Lee, Exposing Family Court Abuses and Unconstitutional Attempts at Censorship

Thank You for Joining Us on September 12, 2025, at Bergen County Courthouse, where Dr. Lee was on Trial for Her First Amendment Rights

The gross human rights violations against children and loving parents in the Family Courts are able to happen because victims are isolated from one another, and witnesses and whistleblowers are silenced and crushed. On September 12, 2025, thanks to your presence, we were able to pierce that stronghold a little further in a rare, public hearing.

“I thought I was alone in suffering this”; “I never knew there were so many people!” exclaimed those who arrived from far and wide, having flown and driven from as far as North Carolina and Virginia to a tiny provincial court in New Jersey. “I so admire your courage”; “I am still standing because of you”; “You are my inspiration!” were some of the heartwarming messages with which they came.

The courtroom was filled, and even the guards appeared prepared to receive Bruce Fein, Esq., as they gave him a front-row seat. Filmmakers interviewing him outside the building before the trial were moved to tears by his passion for justice (they are already familiar with the abuses of Family Courts), and the attendees gathered around him during break to hear his interpretations, as if listening to the Sermon on the Mount.

Fein’s presence was indeed extraordinary: a modest, ascetic man but a dynamite of a legal mind, called upon by governments around the world for establishing their own Constitutions, juxtaposed against a lying, posturing, bloated yes-man “judge” illiterate of the Law, simply carrying out the corrupt commands of Judge Jane Gallina-Mecca (chief judge of Bergen County Family Court).

“Guardian ad Litem” Evelyn Nissirios, the plaintiff, is “Judge” Gallina-Mecca’s underling partner in most crimes, the most brutal gangster posing as an “officer of the court” one ever saw: my accusations of her being a child predator and a trafficker of children to their rape, battery, attempted murder, pedophilic sex rings, and Satanic cults are based on extensive interviews of victims, material evidence, and fact. Unheard of peacetime atrocities are par for the course in Family Court, and Nissirios is at their center in this small New Jersey county. She did not like that I called her the “Adolf Eichmann” of the Family Courts, but her testimony revealed that she did not even know who is Franz Kafka.

Nissirios is a graduate of a law school that lost its accreditation a few years ago and was once considered, “the place for people who can’t get in anywhere else — a school of last resort.” She filed for a protective order with a crony judge of the same Family Court, because the proper recourse — a defamation lawsuit — would warrant a process of discovery, and truth is a constitutional defense under the First Amendment. She would have no case, and the revelations of her crimes could get her not only disbarred but imprisoned.

I stumbled a bit at the outset because of my first time being pro se at a trial — or anything other than an expert witness at any trial — but Fein’s presence was indispensable. He redirected me to ignore everything the judge said and to return to the central question: “Your Honor, having sworn to uphold the U.S. Constitution to be sitting where you are today, it is your obligation to explain on the merits how my constitutional rights are not being violated.”

Judge Michael Antoniewicz kept saying that this was what he was trying to decide through the trial, but I insisted: “I ask that you stipulate now, how your order falls within the narrow exceptions to infringing on constitutionally-protected speech, as defined by the Supreme Court decision, Nebraska Press Association v. Stuart (1976) — or, if not, to dismiss this case.”

I clarified: “Articles one has to look up the Internet to find are not harassment.”

Nissirios cried out: “It is not just me! Anyone googling my name will come across these articles.”

I asked: “What is worse, the discomfort of having to read the truth about your actions, or having to suffer the consequences of your actions as victims?”

Nissirios further tried to turn my assembling attendees at this as well as another hearing — on criminal charges I brought against her in another court — as forms of stalking. Yet, just as she never sued me for defamation, she never sued me for malicious prosecution, since any process outside of her crony court would entail actual legal procedure and discovery.

Judge Antoniewicz, visibly uncomfortable at my repeated demands for proof of constitutionality of his temporary protective order, adjourned an hour earlier than initially stated.

There is a reason why the First Amendment so threatens them: Family Court players spot and partner with violent criminals, such as my former brother-in-law Alan T. Chan, who becomes the “hook” around which they kidnap children from the innocent parent and “sell” to him, extort exorbitant “child support” and fines, and liquidate the assets of the loving parent so that she cannot fight back, and then use their multi-billion-dollar industry to suppress the press and silence witnesses such as myself. It is truly a heist of proportions unimaginable in civilized society and would blow up spectacularly if the public got any significant wind of it.

Indeed, ironically, one of my articles Nissirios complained about during the trial is entitled, “One Thing Terrorizes Family Courts like Nothing Else: Exposure of TRUTH.”

In order: Dr. Bandy Lee, Judge Michael Antoniewicz, Atty. John Conte, and Evelyn Nissirios

Here are some of the responses from the audience:

Dr. Lee, you were incredible today! You made all three of them look corrupt and ridiculous!

I don’t know if the judge is immoral or amoral, or just oblivious to the whole concept of morality, but you gave him a black eye — you gave all of them a black eye!

The GAL is a vile sociopath…. You inspired everyone there today and across the country!

Our presence was powerful and made a difference. By showing up, we reminded them that we are … growing louder, stronger, and more determined to demand change.

The filmmakers, staying to the very end, took videos of the group speaking in unison: “Truth! Justice! Human rights!”

Interestingly, during the break and after adjournment, we were not asked to clear the path — or I asked to stay in the courtroom for a half-hour to give Nissirios time to leave — making it clear that Nissirios left through the judge’s chamber! What privilege, and what opportunity for private conference and additional scheming, that I cannot imagine being offered to a battered woman from a trailer park, asking for a protective order that would save her life….

Fein, whose invaluable time I did not previously wish to occupy in a kangaroo court, now wishes to represent me at the next session. He will also be filing additional papers with the federal court.

Next, our collective project will be to try to open this issue nationally, and I hope you will join me in Washington, DC, in October!

Below are some excerpts from my opening argument at the trial:

Your Honor, this case presents a grave constitutional question: whether the Family Court may silence a citizen — an internationally-recognized expert on violence who has dedicated her life to protecting children and society — through unconstitutional gag orders and contempt sanctions…. The core issue is this: I have been trying to expose that Bergen County Family Court is systematically engaged in trafficking children to their torture, rape, battery, and attempted murder for profit — and Plaintiff Evelyn Nissirios is at the center, because of her brutality and violence — so much so that she nearly murdered my sister several times. The orders at issue therefore constitute unlawful prior restraints in direct violation of the First and Fourteenth Amendments with respect to a matter of critical public interest.

I am not speaking in hyperbole. The United Nations Human Rights Council meticulously documented Family Court abuses through a Report of the Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls, its causes and consequences, published on April 13, 2023. It highlighted that: “The tendency to dismiss the history of domestic violence and abuse in custody cases extends to cases where mothers and/or children themselves have brought forward credible allegations of physical or sexual abuse.”

Transparency plays a pivotal role in deterring judicial abuses. It discourages perjury, the misconduct of participants, and decisions based on secret or open bias or partiality, as per Richmond Newspapers v. Virginia (1980). Jeremy Bentham in the Rationale of Judicial Evidence (1827), similarly noted: “Without publicity, all other checks are insufficient.”

Your Honor cannot avoid the constitutional issues. Article VI of the U.S. Constitution establishes the Supremacy Clause, asserting that the Constitution, federal laws, and treaties are the supreme law of the land, superseding conflicting state laws. Article VI also requires all federal and state officials to take an oath to support the Constitution, as a qualification for any public office….

None of my postings accusing Plaintiff Nissirios of horrific acts prompted her to sue me for defamation, where truth is a constitutional defense under the First Amendment. Nissirios did not sue, because she is fully aware that … her countless lies and acts of harm would be subject to legal scrutiny — and could get her disbarred or imprisoned.

My postings were directed at the public. To the extent Plaintiff Nissirios knew about them, it was because she voluntarily chose to look them up on the Internet. Unable to sue for defamation, Nissirios obtained a temporary protective order, or TPO, from Judge Michael Antoniewicz, with whom she has worked extensively in the past….

When I requested an audio recording of the April 4, 2025, proceeding, [an incriminating] segment was missing…. Judge Jane Gallina-Mecca, who violated my First Amendment rights in the past and whom I suspected to be behind this unprecedented TPO from the start, issued a protective order on [this apparently tampered] recording without notice or constitutionally required findings on the record.

On August 8, 2025, the Court denied my emergency motion to subpoena raw digital files and system data necessary to verify the record, despite concrete evidence of irregularities…. As a pro se litigant, I have been denied procedural leniency, while Plaintiff’s misconduct, documented perjury, and life-threatening assaults against my sister have been excused. This mirrors the bias with which Judge Antoniewicz granted Plaintiff a TPO for inconvenient speech, while denying my sister a protective order against Plaintiff, when Plaintiff may be established to have engaged in attempted murder more than once.

Plaintiff Nissirios’ cross-motions for sanctions have been used as weapons of intimidation and unjust enrichment, echoing a pattern of extortion: her latest demand of the amount of $7698.75,… brings the total to nearly $40,000 in sanctions she extracted from me and my sister alone.

The misuse of protective orders in this case reflects a broader pattern of corruption and abuse within Family Court that has left my sister impoverished and debilitated, while causing irreparable harm to children and families more widely….

Sanctioning me under an unconstitutional order contravenes established law: “A void order is no order at all and cannot be enforced.” See Ex parte Siebold (1879). Furthermore, Plaintiff’s pursuit of sanctions mirrors a pattern of threats and intimidation designed to punish whistleblowers and to extract money under color of law. [S]uppression of free speech automatically establishes irreparable harm under Elrod v. Burns (1976) and its progeny. Every day Judge Antoniewicz’s December 5, 2024, TPO remains in effect is a further violation of my free speech rights.

As a forensic psychiatrist and violence expert who has dedicated my life to public service, silencing me not only injures me but harms the public’s right to know about misconduct — and harm against innocent children and loving parents — in their courts.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — FAMED LAWYER BRUCE FEIN TO APPEAR IN NEW JERSEY COURT WITH DR. BANDY LEE, EXPOSING FAMILY COURT ABUSES AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL ATTEMPTS AT CENSORSHIP

“Free Speech … is under assault by the Family Courts.”  — Dr. Bandy Lee

Trial Date: Friday, September 12, 2025

Time: 11:00 a.m.

Location: Bergen County Courthouse, 10 Main Street, Room 108, Hackensack, NJ (before Judge Michael Antoniewicz)

HACKENSACK, NJ, UNITED STATES / — On September 12, 2025, foremost Constitutional attorney Bruce Fein, Esq., once on a short-list of potential nominees to the United States Supreme Court and who has served at some of the highest levels of government, is traveling from Washington to appear in New Jersey Superior Court. He will be observing the trial of acclaimed forensic psychiatrist and violence expert, Dr. Bandy X. Lee, who faces serious unconstitutional sanctions, contempt orders, and possible imprisonment for exercising her First Amendment rights.

Dr. Lee’s “offense” is simply exercising her Constitutional rights to write and speak about fraud, corruption, and human rights violations in Bergen County Family Court. Pending before Judge Michael Antoniewicz, the case centers on retaliatory gag orders and sanctions designed to intimidate and silence her.

“It is little known that women and children are more likely to die upon entering Family Court than if they had not,” Dr. Lee states. “Mothers who lose custody of their children, for example, are twelve times more likely to die in ten years. Almost a thousand children are documented to have been murdered in the context of Family Court, with many of them knowingly facilitated. Shocking judicial abuses are being covered up through secrecy.”

A distinguished psychiatrist who served on the faculties of Yale and Harvard, Dr. Lee is recognized worldwide for her research on violence and public health. Her work has brought national attention to threats to democracy and constitutional governance.

In April 2025, Fein filed a federal lawsuit on Dr. Lee’s behalf, asserting violations of her First and Fourteenth Amendment rights through unlawful gag orders, protective orders, and sanctions. Attorney Fein, who has played key roles in impeaching three U.S. presidents, is preparing the articles of impeachment against Chief Judge Jane Gallina-Mecca of New Jersey Family Court.

Dr. Lee, who helped bring national attention to major issues of public health concern in the past, will hold a major National Press Club and Congressional conference on Family Court violence in Washington, DC, in October. Her prior conferences have drawn national coverage from C-SPAN, a full-page in Politico, and leading experts from across the country.

*In-person attendance only. Please note that there will be filming on site.

Arizona Lawmakers Expose Corruption, Murdered Children, and a Billion-Dollar Custody Cartel

Since my testimonies before the Arizona and the Idaho legislatures on Family Court violence, there have been additional hearings both in Idaho and in Arizona. I have always underscored the need to cover Family Court abuses in terms of preventable killings from murder, mayhem, and suicide — and to leave behind the convoluted legal and academic verbiage — so as to call attention to the true magnitude of the crisis, in stark medical terms. Without this, we will fall short of appreciating the true severity of this national emergency — without appeasing, pleasing, or trying to sound “professional”. This would amount to a Battered Nation Syndrome. Now, after more than three years since I started urging this approach, legislatures are hearing it, and journalists are covering it:

Murdered Children, Abusive Exes, and a Billion-Dollar Custody Cartel

By Richard Luthmann

Published August 29, 2025

Shocking, gut-wrenching testimony rattled … a Joint Legislative Ad Hoc Committee hearing on August 27, 2025, [as Arizona] Senator Mark Finchem and Representative Rachel Keshel presided over an explosive inquiry into family court corruption.

The scene was part exposé, part rallying cry — a final public hearing where desperate parents and whistleblowers laid bare a system that they say routinely puts children in danger….

One national advocate even applauded Arizona for “leading the way” on this issue — with 17 other states reportedly watching the proceedings closely. This hearing underscored why many now frame family court reform as the civil rights fight of our time….

For nearly three hours, witness after witness delivered harrowing accounts of institutional betrayal: judges ignoring evidence of abuse, child protective services (DCS) snatching kids from loving relatives, and court-appointed experts milking parents for cash….

“This should never happen. Not once, not ever,” testified one expert, emphasizing that hundreds of children nationwide have been murdered by abusive parents after courts dismissed safety concerns.

Finchem and Keshel vowed Arizona would spearhead a national crusade to end these horrors. Their message was clear: the days of “kids for cash” justice are numbered in Arizona.

A formal report with reform recommendations is due within weeks.

Killer Family Courts: Kathy Sherlock and Kayden’s Law

The hearing’s first witness set the tone with a story so tragic it silenced the room. Kathy Sherlock, a mother from Pennsylvania, recounted in gripping detail how her 7-year-old daughter Kayden was brutally murdered by her ex-husband after a family court denied her pleas for supervised visitation. Sherlock fought back tears as she described years of sounding the alarm about her ex’s instability — to no avail….

Kayden Mancuso with her mom, Kathy Sherlock

Sherlock’s worst nightmare came true:… during one of those unsupervised visits, the father smashed Kayden’s skull with a 35-pound dumbbell and tied a plastic bag around her head, killing the little girl in cold blood. He then committed suicide, [leaving] Sherlock outraged and devastated.

In halting but forceful words, Sherlock told lawmakers how the system failed her family at every turn. She spent 18 months and tens of thousands of dollars battling for her daughter’s protection, only to be accused of “parental alienation” by her ex’s attorney and ignored by the judge.

“I buried a beautiful 7-year-old after spending thousands of dollars in a system I had faith in. I thought it would protect her,” Sherlock testified, voice shaking. “No parent should have to bury their child — especially when it could have been so easily prevented,” she said.

In a blistering indictment of family court culture, Sherlock noted that even convicted abusers can have more rights than their victims in custody cases….

But Sherlock refused to let her daughter’s death be in vain. She channeled her grief into activism, becoming the driving force behind Kayden’s Law — a package of reforms designed to prevent such tragedies.

“I honored my daughter by working tirelessly to campaign for family court reform,” she said, describing how she and fellow advocates pushed Kayden’s Law all the way to the White House.

In 2022, President Biden signed the reform into federal law as part of the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act. Sherlock has since traveled state to state, urging local legislatures to adopt Kayden’s Law provisions. Arizona’s hearing was one more stop on that mission.

“We’re in 10 states so far,” she noted, stressing that every state needs to implement the law’s life-saving measures.

Finchem and Keshel thanked Sherlock for her courage. Her message was unambiguous: Kayden’s death was preventable, and the “backwards” family court practices that put a child with a known abuser must be overhauled — in Arizona and across the nation.

Killer Family Courts: National Movement and Pollock’s Call to Action

Next came Danielle Pollock, a leading voice in the national family court reform movement. Pollock, policy manager at the National Family Violence Law Center, helped originate Kayden’s Law at the federal level. She flew in from Washington, D.C. to put Arizona’s fight in a broader context — and to issue a rallying cry for America’s other 49 states.

Her testimony was both blistering and inspiring. Pollock applauded Senator Finchem and Rep. Keshel for “leading the way” by holding these public hearings.

“I’ve encouraged other states to follow suit,” she said, praising Arizona for exposing what has long been hidden in family courts.

Pollock framed the stakes in stark terms: “Kayden is one of many children — one of hundreds, if not thousands — who have been murdered by an abusive parent after a court was involved, and safety concerns were raised by the protective parent, but custody was nevertheless granted to the dangerous person,” she said. “This should never happen. Not once, not ever.”

She cited chilling examples: A Florida little boy named Grayson, a Utah child named Aum, a California girl named Piqui, a New York boy named Tommy — all killed by a parent after courts ignored warnings and forced unsafe visitation. In one case, a mother in a witness protection address program was still ordered to hand her kids to the abusive ex she was hiding from — with deadly results.

“Days later, she’s dead — stabbed and beaten in her home,” Pollock recounted, describing how the father then gained full custody of the children after the mother’s murder.

In another case, a Texas mother was murdered by her ex. Yet, a family court gave custody of their child to the killer’s father — allowing the imprisoned murderer ongoing access to the boy.

Pollock’s litany of horrors made it painfully clear: what happened to Kayden is happening nationwide, in case after case, due to a broken system.

Despite the grim content, Pollock … noted that the United Nations Special Rapporteur on violence against women studied this crisis and “named Kayden’s Law as a best-practice model for nations to emulate”….

By the end of Pollock’s testimony, it was evident that a national movement is afoot — and Arizona finds itself at the forefront. Finchem thanked Pollock for her expertise and vowed the state would not let her down.

Killer Family Courts: Attorney Moore Exposes the Legal Cartel

If Kathy Sherlock and Danielle Pollock provided the heart and vision of the reform movement, Attorney Michael Moore brought the receipts. A veteran trial lawyer of 45 years, Moore has made a career out of suing Arizona’s child welfare agencies on behalf of wronged families.

He stepped up to the microphone with a wry challenge: “I appear here today to attempt to convince you all to put me out of work,” Moore declared….

What followed was a blistering whistleblower account of how the family court/DCS apparatus operates, essentially as a cash machine for professionals. Echoing earlier witnesses, Moore asserted that money is the root of the problem: by his estimate, “it’s a billion-dollar business in this country” — a “cottage industry” of judges, lawyers, custody evaluators, therapists, and others all profiting from high-conflict custody fights.

“People are making billions off of this industry,” he said bluntly, “and if they change it, it hits ’em in the pocket”….

Representative Keshel later dubbed this insidious practice a “legal cartel” that preys on families’ desperation. Moore agreed, describing how even court-ordered “reunification therapy” programs can be a scam — expensive camps that “force children to bond with” an abuser under threat of punishment….

Beyond the financial gouging, Moore exposed a stunning lack of accountability. He testified that Arizona’s DCS (Department of Child Safety) has an Ombudsman’s Office that receives “between 10,000 and 12,000 complaints” each year — and essentially none get remedied…. Meanwhile, when families sue DCS for violating their rights, taxpayers end up footing the bill….

“DCS does not hold those people responsible who are found to have violated constitutional rights,” he emphasized.

In two of his victories, the caseworkers who traumatized families kept their jobs with zero consequences….

Representative Keshel … drove home the bottom line: “The taxpayers are on the hook when there’s a lawsuit against DCS. What are we paying out of our pockets to defend this?”

The answer — millions upon millions — clearly landed with the committee…. The takeaway was unmistakable: Arizona’s family courts and child welfare system have been running as a “billion-dollar racket”, but the jig is up. With candor and concrete data, Moore helped pull back the curtain, giving reformers a roadmap to start cleaning house.

Killer Family Courts: Raw Testimonies

Perhaps the most searing moments came from Arizona parents and grandparents themselves — ordinary families who say they were crushed by the very system meant to protect them. One by one, they stepped forward to recount personal nightmares of abuse, retaliation, and official indifference….

Her voice cracking, [Mary] Betzel said the experience taught her that family court is “not about truth or children’s best interests — it’s about power and money.” Lawmakers shook their heads in dismay at her account of systemic betrayal….

The picture [Dean] Gensco painted was of a rogue agency that rides roughshod over families, with judges rubber-stamping whatever DCS wants. Finchem was visibly alarmed. “There’s a recurring theme here with DCS,” he noted — a theme of no transparency and no accountability”….

Nicole Skinner’s … story highlighted what many other parents at the hearing echoed: family courts don’t just fail to protect children, they actively shield insiders and powerful players while leaving protective parents bankrupt, endangered, and silenced….

Michael Bertrand … lifted his shirt slightly to show scars: “I have two feet of scar. I’m missing one of my internal organs, and three others are permanently damaged,” he said matter-of-factly…. He spoke of uncovering a “third-party gang” — essentially a domestic terrorist group — “operating under the protection of a written legal instrument of the Arizona Superior Court.” In other words, he believes corrupt insiders shielded a criminal outfit to help destroy him…. As wild as parts of his story sounded, no one in the room doubted one thing: this man had been put through hell by a system that lost all semblance of justice.

Killer Family Courts: Final Words

By the hearing’s end, dozens of other citizens had signed up to speak — a testament to the widespread outrage — but there was not enough time.

Rep. Keshel managed to squeeze in one last bombshell on the record: She relayed the case of an Arizona family whose five children were taken by Nevada’s child services. According to evidence Keshel cited, the two youngest (just 3 and 4 years old) were being “raped repeatedly” by foster parents, and the oldest, a 14-year-old girl, had gone missing under state care. “They have no idea where she is right now,” Keshel retorted, highlighting the interstate indifference the family faced….

Finchem adjourned the hearing [with the promise of a] formal report from the committee, [to] be issued within 15–21 days…. “We will not tolerate this any longer…. We’ve got a responsibility to take action”….

What happened in Arizona this week was more than a hearing; it felt like the first tremors of an earthquake that could shake family courts nationwide. For the first time in a long time, these parents and advocates see cracks forming in the once-untouchable system’s fortress…. The people have spoken, the truth is on record, and reform is on the horizon — for Kayden, for all our children.
