Rhonda Vicker Speaks Out On the Corruption And Extortion In The Allegheny, PA Family Courts Mar 18, 2023

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes new guest, Rhonda Vicker to the podcast. Rhonda has the unique perspective of having been involved in TWO different custody cases, in TWO different counties, each being on opposite ends of the “alienation” spectrum. Because of this, she has been able to see firsthand the influence of the AFCC (Association Of Family And Conciliation Courts), in establishing “county culture” within the Family Court system. CORRECTION: The Parenting Institute was founded by Dr. Wilson, not Bliss** Bringing awareness to the Family Court issues and banding together with other Family Court victims are key components to ultimately achieving necessary REFORM. GAG ORDERS are the Court’s WEAPON of choice to PREVENT this from happening. Currently, Rhonda is embroiled in a custody dispute in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, where she recently became a Pro Se Litigant. Court sanctioned ALIENATION is a very REAL concept and is a prevalent factor in her case. Throughout the life of her case she has fought hard to make sense of it all and has begun to slowly peel back the LAYERS of Family Court CORRUPTION and wants to bring awareness and help other mothers and fathers also STRUGGLING with a SYSTEM that the general public falsely BELIEVES is inherently GOOD. IT’S NOT! Judge Jessel Costa (son of Senator Jay Costa) is her presiding Judge. Recently Rhonda appeared in court for the first time before him as a Pro Se Litigant and it didn’t take long for Rhonda to become painfully AWARE that justice will not be served in her case. Litigation began in October of 2020 and currently her trial is continued generally. Throughout this time Rhonda has uncovered several instances of CORRUPTION amongst the Family Court PLAYERS involved and fully expects RETALIATION in exchange. Rhonda welcomes other protective parents to reach out to her on Facebook through the following link to her page: https://www.facebook.com/rhonda.vicker.7?__cft__[0]=AZWlI-pTBYWxgI5Ctytqa4_T0RHDH6nvXQbf8hc-4rgU_oKxLR8CE3xKHZfTB_wWqg8V8r7rjr_15LHr_3s3YA9TMs423IkyJwImVLrHmG47qx8b7nAjcHXGJloKKjm3PAtvNCYaj8gqyTCZL-alADycMmRPQkATM4W45ZgzjHVQmw&__tn__=-]K-R Or she can be reached by email at: stopthemadness15219@gmail.com Supportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)https://www.buzzsprout.com/1364944/subscribedismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.com

Lee Granade Discusses Some LOW DOWN On The Low Country , South Carolina Mar 17, 2023

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes back Lee Granade to the podcast. She was last on December 3rd, 2022, Season 3, Episode 168 and Season 3, Episode 178. In the last episode, Lee has her case is out of the 14th Judicial Circuit in South Carolina which has enabled the Murdaughs, the super lawyers and solicitors for nearly 100 years, to prosper since the 1920's. They have been tied to moonshining and interference with juries and most recently insurance fraud and murders.
We discussed a variety of topics intertwined with the Murdaugh Murder's and how or if the culture of the Low Country will change now with Alex Murdaugh behind bars. It appears that the South Carolina Bar has absolutely no interest in any "breath of fresh air" of accountability involving ethics. If accountability ever existed at all. Rules don't apply to a lot of individuals in the Low Country, SC.
NOT A PODCAST TO BE MISSED.

Deborah Craig Discusses Toxicity In Families And Friends And How To Create The Life You Love And What That Means To You Mar 16, 2023

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes Deborah Craig from Glasgow, Scotland. Deborah was last on the podcast February 2, 2023, Season 4, Episode 26. Her focus is on Intuitive Life Mentoring, Hypnotherapy and Personal Development.
We discussed toxicity in families and friends and how to handle toxic behaviors within family dynamics. It's not the people that are TOXIC, it is the behaviors, actions and thought processes that are not helpful. If a person's energy is being expended externally or they are being dragged down by other people and their periphery whether family or friends who are not aligned to how they want to be then that in itself can actually be really impactful in bringing people DOWN and keeping them DOWN, rather than be able to flourish and live the life they really want to live and do it in a happy and healthy way.
Random acts of kindness, a feeling of gratefulness. When people help others it the best feeling in the world. What makes that person feel good in helping others, in turn makes them feel good.
VICTIMHOOD MENTALITY is a difficult area for people to deal with but they have to realize they are in CONTROL. Understand what are they are in control of: their own thoughts, actions and behaviors. They are not in control of what other people are going to do, think or say. If a person can separate and focus on what they can control, it is easier it is to climb their way out of victimhood mentality, but it is a JOURNEY. When you want things to CHANGE, it can CHANGE.
We also talked about MY experience with HYPNOSIS under Deborah that I experienced yesterday as she worked with me to help RELEASE the feelings of things that were troublesome in my life. It was LIFE CHANGING for the better and I actually felt the weight I was carrying around on my back lifted off. This experience literally changed my life SO MUCH for the BETTER.

James Kelly Speaks Out On The System Of Extortion, Fraud And The Necessary NEED For Cameras In The Courtrooms Mar 12, 2023

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes James Kelly to the podcast. James Kelly is a Dad UNLAWFULLY denied access to his children without having been accused or convicted of a crime has embraced his RIGHT to practice law for himself out of necessity. While he is not admitted to practice law for others, he is not bound by fears of disbarment or UNLAWFUL ARREST.
Leading the charge in New York State for the INDEPENDENT use of CAMERAS in the courtroom to preserve EVIDENCE and what transpires in the courtroom James has had some success. He has RECORDED and LIVE STREAMED 7 court proceedings in multiple cases without judicial permission and under threat of arrest.
We discussed DUE PROCESS RIGHTS and SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION as well as 2nd Amendment Rights regarding all recording devices. James also discussed his case in the Appellate Court where it sat there for NINE MONTHS.
We also talked about Court Network, LLC where they brought a case against NY, and made its way into the NY State Court of Appeals in 2000, and NY Civil Rights Law Section 52 was twice found to be unconstitutional, because it was over broad. However, that particular case with respect to the press was found that the fair trial rights of those in the court must take priority over the rights to the freedom of the press. What the Court of Appeals failed to do is look at from the Due Process Right and was never explored. NOT A PODCAST TO BE MISSED WITH SO MUCH INFORMATION ON GETTING CAMERAS IN THE COURTROOMS.
James Kelly will be coming back on the podcast for updates in the near future.

Jim Sisco Calls Out Judge Thomas P. Mann On His Criminal Negligence Which Has Resulted In Child Abuse And Extreme Parental Alienation Mar 11, 2023

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes back Jim Sisco for an update on his efforts to reunite with his children. Previous podcast Season 3, Episode 176.
Jim has not seen his children in over 17 months after RAISING 2 of his 3 children BY HIMSELF for over a YEAR. However, after filing for divorce, Jim’s ex-wife gave him PRIMARY PHYSICAL CUSTODY of the twins, separating them from their younger sister. While she was in her mother’s care, she threatened self-harm. There was an overwhelming amount of evidence of parental alienation and physical and emotional abuse, Jim represent himself in court.
Judge Thomas P. Mann presided over the case and ruled that Mr. Sisco had practiced extreme Parental Alienation that was tantamount to child abuse. The RULING was not based on facts or evidence. There were NEVER any allegations of physical, mental, or emotional abuse by his ex-wife or her lawyer and there were NO expert WITNESSES. The only witnesses in the trial were his ex-wife’s father and best friend.
Judge Mann gave full legal custody of all three children to Jim’s ex-wife and his visitation was limited to 30-MINUTE SKYPE CALLS on Sunday evenings. His decision was based upon his opinion that Jim had practiced extreme Parental Alienation that was equivalent to CHIILD ABUSE. Judge Mann forced Jim to undergo a psychological evaluation, complete a 14-week parenting course and enroll in anger management therapy.
Jim completed the court’s requirements and returned to court to increase visitation and custody. Judge Mann prompted the opposing counsel to file a motion to strike, which he granted stating there was no material change in circumstance and awarded $30,000.00 in LEGAL FEES. Judge Mann’s DECISION was heavily INFLUENCED by the death of his daughter, who was murdered.
Over the past two years, Jim has spent over $250,000.00 in legal fees, contacted CPS on 7 different occasions, spoken with experts in the field of PA, and reached out to numerous veterans organizations and father’s advocacy groups to get help. His EFFORTS continue to FALL UPON DEAF EARS, which is why he launched a social media campaign and wrote a #1 BEST SELLING BOOK to create AWARENESS.

Dr. Adam Lowther, Nuclear Weapons Expert, Speaks out On His Case With CYFD, The Ineptitude Of Caseworkers, Police, Judges And Federal Court Judges Mar 09, 2023

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes Dr. Adam Lowther, Nuclear Weapons Expert in the military, speaks out on his CYFD case that happened in Albuquerque, New Mexico that started August 2017. Everything in life was going smoothly until an inept school teacher working at a private school, Calvary Christian Academy, with a criminal record (fraud and theft), targeted his four-year old daughter. This teacher filed false allegations against Dr. Lowther and his son for sexual abuse.
Within 50 minutes the police were at the door removing the children from the home by an inept policeman who was just writing parking tickets last week and the next week suddenly became a Sex Crime Detective. They took the children to All Faith Receiving Home, which is an interrogation center. Late that night they denied his daughter food and water and abusively interrogated her with 220+ questions....
However, the teacher continued to make false allegations while the four year-old was still in school for the next three months.....
Dr. Lowther gave the advice as well as myself to not let CPS in and do not let the police in without a warrant. His children will forever have a deep-seated mistrust of law enforcement. More advice is given in this podcast.
The state is set up to DESTROY FAMILIES. Also, if you sue the government, you will find it is heavily rigged. Dr. Lowther found out his Federal Case was dismissed and has $800,000.00 invested in his appeal and is unlikely to win because, "you are not able to hold them accountable because of the Federal Court Judges. There is no fear of accountability."
People are calling in false allegations, thus weaponizing CYFD; but they still have to do the investigation at taxpayer's expense. 83% of child abuse allegations are FALSE. Dr. Lowther would like to see a law where it is illegal to make a false accusation. Dr. Lowther recommends that if you come in contact with CPS, get the best lawyer to fight them and do not use a Public Defender or go Pro Se with CYFD. Dr. Lower states, "there is no justice system, it's the legal system and you need someone who knows the legal system." They will drag lawsuits out in civil cases.

Joan Kloth-Zanard Discusses Psychological Abuse That Uses Coercive Control, Alienating Behaviors And Domestic Violence By Proxy Mar 07, 2023

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes back Joan Kloth-Zanard to the podcast. She was last on the podcast January 2nd, 2023 Season 4, Episode 6. Joan has a Masters Magna Cum Laude in Marriage and Family Therapy, a BS in Health and Psychology with a Minor in Business which includes extensive training and certification in Reunification Therapy and work with children. Joan has also been a Guardian Ad Litem and Certified as a Recovery Support Specialist in ABI.
Presently, Joan runs and manages a non-profit with over 50 chapters around the world. This 501 (c) (3) is an international non-profit organization for the Prevention, Intervention and Support of Survivors of abuse (www.pasintervention.com). Part of this work includes running online support groups for these Survivors of Abuse and in particular, Psychological Abuse since 1998.
Joan is an author of numerous articles and publications including two books. Her first book, "Where Did I Go Wrong? How Did I Miss The Signs? Dealing with Hostile Parenting and Parental Alienation," is now in its second edition. This book is a culmination of all her research and studies into the world of high conflict divorce. She is also the co-author of "Broken Family Bonds," which is a book of survivor's stories of alienation.
We discussed how Custodial Interference is a Federal and state Felony, a criminal act and every state has different laws regarding this issue.
An example of Coercive Control is when a parent, agency or relative/friend deliberately impedes the relationship between the child and the other parent, this requires a particular set of behavior patterns such as using excessive psychological Coercive Control. Using behavior patterns that terrorize or create a fear or falsely lull a person in a cult like manner to believe that this other parent is no good. This brings in Parental Alienating Behaviors (PAB).
This is a form of COERCIVE CONTROL, but more specific to behaviors that DIRECTLY IMPEDE the relationship with the other parent. Parental Alienating behaviors create a CULT of fear of hate, anger and rage at another person, much like any cult it WARPS A PERSON'S MIND into this false belief about something. All of this boils down to a form of DOMESTIC VIOLENCE but, that we call DOMESTIC VIOLENCE by PROXY, because the OFFENDING parent or person or agency is not physically touching you, they are not directly necessarily gaslighting you they are PROJECTING it through the children, another person, agency, the courts now making it BY PROXY. With the ADVERSARIAL process, it is growing OUT OF CONTROL.
NOT A PODCAST TO BE MISSED AND A GREAT LEARNING TOOL AS WELL.

Deborah Hunter Gives Updates On Her Son's Case: Jury Selection May 22nd, 2023 And The Abuse Continues Mar 05, 2023

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes Deborah Hunter from Oklahoma to the podcast as she talks about her son's journey with Alicia and their baby Miles, who was born at 32 weeks. Their baby was absconded by CPS shortly after Alicia's passing from a brief illness. Miles was then legally kidnapped, taken away from the Father, and put into Foster Care. On several occasions when the Father has gone for 'visitation,' Miles has had a bruised lip, bronchitis, respiratory infections, swollen feet an extreme diaper rash and then had to have tubes put in his ears as well as on another visit Miles had a cut/wound in his skin after Father removed the diaper. On the next visit on February 9th, 2023 Deborah saw that Miles had bumps on his head a small cut and Deborah is concerned that her grandchild's scars will be permanent. She is getting two different stories from the Foster Care Mother, did Miles hit his head on a dresser, or now it's the coffee table? She has great concern for her grandson Miles and why is he still in Foster Care when he's still getting hurt?
Deborah explained what has happened since our last interview and that now her son has a jury selection on May 22nd. Apparently DHS has only done one-sided interviews and have perjured themselves. This is not unusual behavior for caseworkers unfortunately. They even had the week of birth wrong, Miles was born at week 32, NOT 30.
"Why are these people so mean?" Deborah asked. Apparently Judge Corley put her son Todd in contempt for wearing a head-dress. "The judges have too much power," Deborah stated.
Apparently a GO-Fund me has started for baby Miles by Alicia's brother and his wife way before they think they will ever be handed over custody of Miles, if ever. Deborah has let the proper authorities know about this as well.
Deborah says, "No one told me my family would be going through this."

Karielee Barrere And Attorney Gary Kreep Discuss Updates On Her Case As Well As Fraud Upon The Court Mar 03, 2023

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes back Karielee Barrere back to the podcast and her Attorney, Gary Kreep, retired Superior Court Judge of San Diego, CA and Co-Founder of the California Constitutional Rights Foundation. Attorney Kreep has been an attorney or a judge since 1975, for 47+ years. Before he became a judge, he was head of the United States Justice Foundation, now headed by James V. Lacy.
Karielee was last on the podcast, September 23, 2022, Season 3, Episode 113 with Julie Reeder discussing Karielee's case where a judge sent a fraudulent document to the DA to investigate however, there was radio silence.
It is well documented that there were a lot of things that have been fraudulent. Only one person walked away with a windfall of money and left Karilee penniless as well as her Autistic son. Karilee then slept in her car for the first year as she was penniless, to recover from the financial loss. She was trying to get the courts to look at the fake judgement that was submitted to them that didn't happen.
Attorney Gary Kreep and Karielee discussed why was a fraudulent judgement filed and why was it not looked into. Attorney Kreep is trying to RIGHT a WRONG. However, there is phony wage assignment that was allegedly stamp-signed by a clerk when a judge had to stamp-sign it. This was issued months after it was supposedly issued in which money was taken out of her ex's salary and sent to a PO Box only he has access to. He denies that and never saw the checks and says Karilee took the checks. They subpoenaed the records from the San Diego Police Department to see about obtaining the back of the checks to see who actually signed them.
More to come as Attorney Kreep and Karilee both will be in court March 20th-21st. They will both be back to provide an update at a later date.

Roger DeHart, Bailiff And Human Trafficking Awareness Advocate Discusses Compassion In The Courtroom To Domestic Violence Victims, Juveniles In The Foster Care System And How A Child Trafficker Grooms Mar 02, 2023

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes Roger DeHart, Bailiff in the Broward Sheriff's Office for 25 years and Human Trafficking Awareness Advocate. He has been working in court and seeing the most vulnerable through manipulation being taken advantage of.
Roger has been a Bailiff for fifteen years years and has seen many women being taken advantage of. He wanted to show that he cared and wanted to make a difference so he decided become an advocate for victims and survivors of Human Trafficking. Roger says he has so many friends that have been VICTIMS and SURVIVORS of Human Trafficking. They have shared their stories with him and this means everything to Roger, as they entrust him with a situation that has happened in their life that has left them with pain and scars that will last the rest of their lives. Now, Roger feels he has an obligation to not only be their voice but their ally.
Shocked to find out that Florida is 3rd in the nation for Human Trafficking, Roger was curious as to why we were not seeing cases being prosecuted. However this is a crime that is happening in our own backyards. Foster Children, runaways, immigrant and vulnerable teens are truly vulnerable to predators.
Roger, with this knowledge brought so much awareness to this cause and he started educating by speaking out at schools and churches. "Talk the talk, then walk the walk, Roger states so in 2018 he started walking from Broward County to Washington D.C. He then walked from the Golden Gate Bridge to San Diego for this extremely important cause to bring AWARENESS to HUMAN TRAFFICKING.
What is concerning is that there are 500,000 sexual predators trolling Social Media preying on the vulnerable. It is highly important as Roger gave an example of grooming for Human Trafficking to call the National Human Trafficking Hotline 1(888)373-7888 immediately, alert the authorities and educate ALL parents so they can advocate for themselves. NOT A PODCAST TO BE MISSED and Roger DeHart will be back on Slam the Gavel with UPDATES regarding his ADVOCACY.
