Michael Volpe, Investigative Journalist Discusses Corrupt Family Court Cases in CT And Writing Up An Act To Remove 3rd Party Appointees Jun 16, 2022

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes back Michael Volpe, Investigative Journalist, to discuss the rampant corruption taking place in the Family Court System in the state of Connecticut. Along with it's corruption, Michael explains several cases that have taken place where Parental Alienation is used against a parent to remove children. There is a common pattern where a mother will go back into court for Child Support and the judge will go along with the opposing side of false allegations and Parental Alienation to remove the children from the mother.
Guardian ad Litems continue to make money out of the conflict, parent's and their children's suffering all in order to get a colleague elected for judge. The extreme lengths and far reach of corruption is immeasurable.
Michael also wrote up an Act to be submitted, called The Elaine Pudlowski Act. This would end the reign of rogue Custody Evaluators, Guardian ad Litems' and other third party appointees. Fast-paced and intriguing podcast not to be missed.

Sandra Speer, Ph.D. Explains Why Parental Alienation Could Be Your Worst Enemy Jun 14, 2022

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes Sandra Speer, Ph.D. to the show. Her experience includes having a Ph.D. in Public Safety and 30+ years of experience in the Domestic Violence and Emergency Management industries with research concentrations in abuse, leadership, narcissism, parental Alienation, and interpersonal communication. I am a published author of the book The Remains of Hurricane Katrina, a chapter in the textbook Terrorism Inside America's Borders, and various articles, coupled with having been a broadcaster for 20+ years
Her specialty is investigating CPS/ high conflict divorce cases for origins of abuse, what types are being committed, and communicating as a consultant or as an expert witness to sources within the system to send children to their safe homes.
She assists through every step of a case and have helped many leave wrongful placements, physically abusive situations, grooming to be trafficked, etc.
Our discussion defined Parental Alienation and talked about why it should be viewed as an abuse and what is Parental Alienation Language. Also we discussed why do so many parents find that they are wrongfully accused of Parental Alienation and why Practitioners misunderstand Parental Alienation. It is important to allow yourself to go through recovery to become strong enough to fight the horrendous legal abuse many Narcissists commit.
In closing, Sandra Speer, Ph.D. wanted to say that she is proving that dreams can come true with what she is doing today. As a Legal Advocate, not an attorney, she works with her clients throughout their cases doing whatever it takes to achieve their goals. Because she is not an attorney, there are no legal limits to whom she can approach for assistance. Sandra also helps her clients emotionally become strong enough to fight their abuser without becoming accused of being a Narcissist or Parent Alienator.

Justice For Betty Hayes: The Family Speaks Out As To What Is Really Going On With Their Mother And Inside The Courtroom Jun 14, 2022

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes Randy Hayes, Cynthia Missed and Holly Hayes to the show to explain what has happened to their mother who has been placed in a Guardianship through a family member. Their niece had absconded with their mother on May 1, 2021 and Cynthia then filed for guardianship not knowing how corrupt it really is. Her Mother's Guardian ad Litem refused to talk to Cynthia or her brothers and never came to see her home where her mother lived for over two years. This niece had her mother sign a revocation of Cynthia's Power of Attorney after having dementia for 5 years.
However, the niece also notarized it. Now they have been isolated from their mother for over a year now, including 27 family members.
The siblings went to New York State Capital on May 23, 2021 to introduce a new bill called Karilyn's Law that would prevent isolation of family in a guardianship. The niece got personal protection order against the family so she could isolate their mother. She even tried to have Cynthia arrested when she was at the hospital with her son who has a brain condition and had just had a seizure. Cynthia has well over $100,000 in legal fees. Probate court took their mothers $275,000 protected trust and are paying the Guardian ad Litem, court appointed attorney Terry Jordan and the guardian Family Option Services attorney Bruce Rice all from the trust.
A very insightful podcast where a family is spreading the word of what happened to their mother and their hopes for visitation with her.

Attorney Connie Reguli Speaks Out On Silencing The Voice Of Child Welfare Reform And How The Government Used A Fake Felony To Prevent Her Reform Efforts Jun 13, 2022

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes back Attorney Connie Reguli. Attorney Reguli was last on the show Season #2, Episode #98.
Attorney Reguli has been an attorney for 27 years. She is the mother of three adopted children and knows first hand how challenging the Family Court can be, both legally and emotionally. Using her personal and professional experience to guide clients through their case, Attorney Reguli cares about what is happening to these families and children inside the courtrooms.
Attorney Reguli came onto the show to explain how far they have gone to silence her. Reguli has built up a reputation for defending parents against this uncontrollable monster, known as DCS (CPS) that other parent's attorneys will not do.

The statute for custodial interference is very specific and written for parents to keep parents from violating parenting plans, visitation and taking a children out of state when there is a custody order and prohibited from doing that. In the indictment they changed the language of the statute as the DA did and the judge did not look this over closely and signed it. The law says 'it's custodial interference to detain a child after the expiration of a lawful period of visitation in violation of a court order,' however it was changed to, 'to detain a child in violation of a court order.' This is a statutory offense There is a lot going on and now Attorney Connie's future is hanging in the balance as her license has been taken away.
Attorney Connie cautions, question everything, the government is taxpayer funded employees and we want to believe in our hearts they will do the right thing. Connie will not be silenced.

Sam Sugar, M.D., Questions: Can America Trust Its Courts? Guardianships From A God's Eye Perspective Jun 08, 2022

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes Dr. Sam Sugar to the show. He was last on the show Season #3, Episodes33 and 39. He is a medical doctor and a founder and president of Americans Against Abusive Probate Guardianship. This is an organization designed to help expose the corruption of this nation's guardianship systems.
Dr. Sugar received his M.D. from the Abraham Lincoln College of Medicine at the University of Illinois, Chicago. He also achieved certification as a specialist in internal medicine from the American Board of Internal Medicine and was distinguished as a fellow of the American College of Physicians.
He has served as the director for managed care at Evanston/Northwestern Healthcare. Dr. Sugar has also taught at both Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine and the Chicago Medical School.
In 2014, after experiencing the horrors of guardianship firsthand, Dr. Sugar teamed up to create the Americans Against Abusive Probate Guardianship.
We talked about the impact and ripple effects of an abusive Guardianship that are emotionally, spiritually, financially and physically devastating to future generations. Guardianships prey on peoples naïveté and we talked about the deception. There are no checks and balances and no oversight nor accountability. Unfortunately the judges and the probate litigators all work together behind the scene; power and money is now woven into the fabric of this nation. Equity courts have been going on since 1939 with no JURY and no RULES OF PROCEDURE. This cannot be fixed, hopefully future generations can replace it with something better, however IT COULD BE YOU NEXT......

Attorney Bobby Chacon: TRIGGER WARNING: Are Psychopaths Born or Made Jun 03, 2022

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes back Attorney Bobby Chacon. Last on the show Season, 2 Episode 102. Attorney Chacon has been a career federal law enforcement professional with over 27 years of experience. With a varied career profile including complex criminal investigation, international deployments as well as underwater forensic training. A proven effective team leader, Attorney Chacon has led teams with missions around the globe including going into Iraq in 2005 and 2006.
Being a Certified Police Instructor and FBI Adjunct Professor Program, Attorney Chacon has helped establish and develop the FBI's underwater forensic program from its beginning to its current state and developed the FBI's Underwater Forensic Training Program.

This was such an interesting podcast on not only cases discussed but how the system evaluates people as to whether they may self harm or harm others and how Mental Health carries a stigma. Perhaps there should be facilities set up to help people prior to tragedies happening; in schools children should be learning meditation and empathy and other ways to deal with trauma. We discussed the "Psychopath Gene," and what that entails as well as harmful Guardianships.

Claire Wirth Discusses: TRIGGER WARNING: Abusive Judge Drives Mother To Snap May 24, 2022

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes back Claire Wirth, former Kentucky Congressional Candidate to discuss a National breaking Story regarding a Stephanie Russell, a Mother and much loved pediatrician who was driven to SNAP due to the corrupt justice system in Jefferson, Louisville, Kentucky.
In Judge Denise Brown's biased courtroom many things have taken place that should never happen to ANY parent. The case with Stephanie Russell is that she had two children in vitro and married a wealthy man. When things did not go well, Stephanie divorced him and off to court they went into a custody battle and family court FAILURE. The judge gave the ex-husband HER children that weren't even HIS. Stephanie Russell also had to pay him child support on her OWN children and she had said that the judge told her to put his name on one of the children's birth certificate. She also feared that the judge would force her to sign over her retirement to her ex. To make matters worse, Stephanie had to pay hundreds of dollars for visitation to see her own children. Threats came as well, notes found on her car. Stephanie has NO family members to lean on. Then the unimaginable happened last week that made the national news.

Steven Wade, Family Law Specialist, Speaks Out On How To Counter False Allegations And How To Succeed May 18, 2022

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes back Steven Wade, Family Law Specialist from Wales, United Kingdom. Last on the show, Season 2, Episode 92, Steven Wade is one of the co-founders of the Family Law Assistance Franchise, a total of five around the UK. The Family Law Assistance Franchise is a growing band of a new breed of legal practitioners who help people represent themselves in the family courts using a mix of legal knowledge and coaching techniques .
We talked about false allegations as well as the current US case involving celebrities and how in the UK the burden of proof is in the balance of probability. We discussed the Order of Finding of Fact Hearings and what that entails for parents. Allegations have become less common and now are titled: "concerns." Great discussion on the reform of family law and how hostility is not in the Child's Best Interest. The family unit has changed throughout the years and we talked about how 'blood is not thicker than water' anymore. When there is a false allegation, a person can lose siblings as well as other close family members.
Steven Wade encourages not to give up as you will regret it, and Parental Alienation is the hardest thing a person can deal with. Steven mentions to write letters and postcards and put them in a box, because one day if the child returns, they will know that you were always thinking of them.
