Heidi Heard Speaks Out About A VICTORY Over A Guardianship Apr 07, 2022

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes Heidi Heard to tell her story involving a victory over a Guardianship that involved her then 18 year-old daughter. Heidi explains how the case evolved over asking for help with her daughter to a distant family member. She had no idea that going to get help from a family member would set in motion a calculated system of betrayal. After Heidi did this, the situation worsened into chaos and confusion which set into motion a Guardianship case. This case revolved around revenge and money.
Heidi states that she never knew such a thing existed and found the case being dragged out as she was representing herself but found she had to hire an attorney, but fortunately he handled her case Pro Bono. The Judge would not let her 19 year old daughter speak.
There is no accountability nor oversight in these courtrooms. Heidi would like to see change happen and to let people know that this can happen to anyone. Coming together collectively to shed the light on this corruption and persevering through this travesty is the only way to help end Guardianships. Heidi also recommends do not stop no matter what.

Sam Sugar, M.D., Discusses THE EQUITY COURT MEAT GRINDER Apr 05, 2022

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes Sam Sugar, M.D back to the show. Dr. Sugar was last on the show season 3, episodes 33 and 39.
The state of Florida has a fund designated for kids born with birth defects and it is funded by doctors in Florida. Doctors pay money every year into this multi billion dollar fund. This led to a discussion on a case of a child born blind, but thrived at school up to graduation. However, he was abducted out of school and put into a guardianship due to the fact he was sitting on a million dollar lawsuit. He was taken away from his friends and his mother. To this day, his mother doesn’t know where he is. Isolating him from his friends and peers is taking a toll on him. This is not “in the best interest.”
Legislation cannot fix this. Profit is what drives the abuse across the country known as professional Guardianships. Dr. Sugar explained that there are no juries in guardianships nor family court. The Title IV Social Security program is generating billions of dollars that punishes people who marry as well as destroy the family unit and this is an unacceptable as well as devaluing the 2 parent home. CPS and Adult Protection Svcs. does more harm than good.
It is best to uncover and educate people unaware of these problems. Do everything you can to avoid equity courts and do not hire lawyers to solve family problems. Dr. Sugar has templates on his website for people making out their wills and Advanced Directives that should be looked at as to help avoid a guardianship.

Todd Bensman, M.A., Journalist And Author, Discusses His Book, "America's Covert Border War," And What's Really Going On Apr 04, 2022

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes Todd Bensman, M.A. and Author to the show. Todd Bensman is a full-time Texas-based Senior National Security Fellow for the Center for Immigration Studies, a D.C. based policy institute examining immigration and he is the author of "America's Covert Border War, The Untold Story Of The Nation's Battle To Prevent Jihadist Infiltration," published February 23rd, 2021.
This book by journalist Todd Bensman, AMERICA’S COVERT BORDER WAR, is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble. His 13-year work of journalism finally settles, for the first time, one of the nation’s most contentious and politically powerful ideas about the southern border: that Islamic jihadists might infiltrate over it and commit terrorist acts.
Perhaps no other idea about the American border has sown more conflict, claims, counter-claims, rebuttals and false narratives on all sides as this one. This book provides a first comprehensive neutral baseline of truth about the threat, goring oxen on both sides of the partisan divide. It reveals, for the first time, that after 9/11 America mounted secret (ongoing) counterterrorism campaigns at the southern border and far beyond – and that they have worked surprisingly well to date, preventing attack on the homeland.
This is the untold story of those hidden American border programs, how they succeeded, why they’re faltering at a time when the risk of border infiltration attack is elevated, and what should be done to repair the enterprise before Americans finally suffer the consequences.
Excellent interview with Todd Bensman and more to come!

Sam Sugar, M.D., Discusses How To Prevent Guardianships, What to Do To Prevent And When You Can't Mar 24, 2022

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes back Sam Sugar, M.D. to the show. we discussed how to prevent a Guardianship/Professional Guardianship from happening and what to do if you cannot. Dr. Sugar recommended having Advance Directives that state that under no circumstances that you want a guardianship. Also make sure a Health Care POA is in place and a Will. Make your wishes well known to family members as well as settling family disputes, as Guardianships can start with a disgruntled family member.
There could be an estimated 3-3.5 million Guardianships in the United States and this creates a negative impact on families affected by a loved one being placed into a Guardianship. Families find their money being thrown away in years to multiple decades of litigation affecting their own health and welfare fighting for their loved one.
We discussed the dark history that goes back to Parens Patriae and how in 1929 Equity Courts joined with civil and criminal courts as well as the history of the Osage Tribe and the book written by David Grann, "Killers of The Flower Moon," that goes into more detail on what really happened to the Osage Tribe and how that evolved into the FBI and J. Edgar Hoover. This history of the Orphan Trains were discussed and how churches and others thought it was a great idea to put homeless children onto trains and ship them off to help farmers farm their land.
Prevention is very important, and Dr. Sugar recommends people be vigilant and aware of their surroundings in order to prevent a Guardianship from happening to their loved one and family.

Advocate Sarah Leyva Pike Speaks Out On TikTok @savejoshandsammie And Child Trafficking Mar 23, 2022

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes Sarah Leyva Pike to the show. Sarah spoke about her sons, Joshua & Samuel Leyva as they were forcefully removed from their home in Virginia through a perjurious "no-knock-warrant" carried out by the Sheriff’s Department.
Since November 2015, their Mother, Sarah Leyva Pike had maintained a Non-Revocable Court Order which protected rightful Virginia jurisdiction and custody of both children. Tarrant County judiciary unlawfully took jurisdiction, in addition to leaning into bias, and committing aggravated perjury, child kidnapping, and child trafficking across state lines.
However, since they were removed, Josh & Sammie have been prevented from every mode of contact with their Mother. For over two years Sarah has received zero evidence of their wellbeing. Tarrant County judiciary have continued to deny both Sarah and her children of their most basic Constitutional rights whilst continuing to target Sarah with multiple hearings without representation or ability to be present.
The result of which has led herto being labeled a “vexatious” litigant, and fined over $20,000 in legal fees to the opposing party and a Habeas Corpus (civil warrant) with to her knowledge contains 39 violations; requesting 6 consecutive months imprisonment for each violation; where she would not be provided a jury due to "non-criminal". Sarah is not looking for justice, she just want to hug her children, know where they are and know they are safe.

Teri Yaki Cahoon Discusses How The Family Court System Affects The LGBTQ Community Mar 19, 2022

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes Teri "Yaki" Cahoon to the show. She is a volunteer teacher and relief worker, Air Force veteran, a foster parent, an adoptive homeschooling Mum, and biological mother after having multiple child losses (biological, adoptive, and foster).
Teri "married" someone of same sex before the supreme court ruling which retroactively put her name on my daughter's birth certificate. She thought I was living a dream until the other party tricked her into signing a document that now allowed her sell the house, move out of state, and demand that Teri follow with the children.
Two months later Teri found herself locked out of her home. Teri began reaching out for my children who were forced into the apartment building by people who posed as "friends". Her oldest adopted son was used to slander Teri in two main court cases that began a journey for her to fight for her own biological daughter and her closest-in-age adopted brother across 3 states in 4 households within 5 years.
Teri discussed how legalizing gay marriage invited a whole new level of marketing children and how Lesbians are at risk of being first world sex slaves. The national crisis of judicial abuse is can be a gender issue, as well as income issues, race issue, preferential/opinion issue. However, none of it is legal. Survivors must stop segregating over these reasons why and start uniting to end immunity without attorney or jury. An antiquated, monarchical system is not democratic.
Survivors of domestic violence by proxy are organizing. We are growing and advocating against parental deprivation/alienation. Accusations are a weapon of mass destruction. The ADA, the constitution, even the Bible cannot protect us from slander. Teri states that our mental health is crucial, and we must be dedicated to surviving and healing as a full-time job. Our parenthood is not contingent on our children's presence, neither is our mental health. Teri encourages parents to stop sitting in your own TRAUMA and start living in your HEALING.
