Attorney Connie Reguli Talks About Where The Social Security Monies Are Going, CPS And Covid Issues In Court Sep 03, 2021

Show notes

Slam the Gavel proudly presents Attorney Connie Reguli from Tennessee on the show. 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 has been very active in educating the Tennessee Legislature on their role in securing a judiciary that's fair, impartial and ACCOUNTABLE. After reviewing years of reports from the "Court of the Judiciary," and summarizing that information for the legislators, it became clear that this legal body does not fulfill its responsibilities in providing oversight for the state court judges.
Speaking at several legislative hearings about the duty of the legislature, as laid out in the Tennessee Constitution, Attorney Reguli has spoken out on the impeachment and removal of judges that abuse their power. You can find her appearances posted and several new stories and hearings on YouTube under, "JudicialReformNow." Attorney Reguli also spoke before the Tennessee Senate in April 2010. She also has her own YouTube Channel, Connie Reguli.
We talked about how important it is for clients to know the facts about their own case and to work with and help your attorney prepare your case. It is pitiful in a courtroom were judges and attorneys try to make your lawyer look stupid in a courtroom, it is a swamp of intellectual fraud.
The Child Welfare system that is based on a perverted financial scheme based on tax dollars and falls by the wayside when Title IV-E/FosterCare money comes in to play, as monies come from the taxpayer's Social Security. The goal is to take your child out of your home. A system that is devastating to the Family that started in 1974 with The Mondale Act and over the next 20 years tax dollars flowed out to the states, giving it away to Foster Care.
We talked about Family Advocates in the Child Welfare System and how a Family Advocate is needed as well as the training that is encompasses becoming a Family Advocate.
Attorney Reguli recommends that the public know who their State Legislatures/Reps and Senators are and put them in your cell phone as a contact, as they work for you, what committees and what bills they have done. Look into the General Assembly and what committee handles Family Court and educate yourself. For parents, get your own personal story written down within one minute, three minutes and ten minute increments for presentation. Also, learn enough basic conversation about CPS and tell your story. Be willing to have that conversation several times a week to educate the public. Lastly, have an internal commitment in your heart that CHANGE must happen.

Mike Aikins, Author, Discusses The Conundrum Of Incentivized Programs, Social Security And Stimulus Checks Sep 02, 2021

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes Mike Aikins, author back on the show. Great conversation in regards to a podcast with Marcus Echols (Season 2, Episode 95) that branched off on to topics regarding the family court system and the treatment of Non-Custodial Parents.
Mike and I talked about how judges handle their cases on Child Support and what really happens if you dare to follow the money trail. Title IV-D and Social Security are intertwined while parents and their families are extorted by the court system that perpetuates Parental Alienation. Mothers and Fathers are shuffled through the court system and there are no winners, just losers and the children suffer the most. The ultimate suffering is when an Alienating parent withholds a child from the good Target parent. Money shouldn't be a factor. Controlling a child by financial means and manipulation is emotional child abuse.
However, just because one parent is granted full custody does not necessarily make them the better parent.
Parents that don't get to see their children should focus on self care while re-inventing themselves, staying busy with new projects and trying something new to them, because when the the children do come back, that parent is the best that they can be.

Steven Wade, Family Law Specialist Discusses Legal Knowledge and Coaching Techniques Aug 31, 2021

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes Steven Wade, Family Law Specialist from Wales, United Kingdom. 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 .
Steven states, "It's a sad reality that sometimes relationships end. Sometimes in bitter, acrimonious divorce." This becomes more complicated when there are children involved.
Law plays a major role in how these situations are resolved. The best result is when people talk to each other, mediate and work things out for the benefit of the children. No one can control what is going on around you, but life becomes easier when you stop thinking you can control everything. The focus should be kindness toward the ex and putting the children first.
We talked about false allegations and Parental Alienation. Parental Alienation is child abuse and it is unacceptable to perpetuate Parental Alienation not only in the courts but outside of the courts as well.
Steven's encouraging advice is that no one is beaten until you give up. There is always a choice, you have the power.

Marcus Echols Questions Where Does The Money Really Go After Child Support And Stimulus Checks Are Collected Aug 28, 2021

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes Marcus Echols. He has over 35 years experience dealing with DHR/Family Court system. He has appeared on TV, newspaper articles and online radio over the years addressing this subject. He has forcefully challenged and shined a bright light on some of the most horrid cases of DHR/CPS abuse against Non Custodial parents in Alabama.
Politicians have to see this from a human perspective and not a financial perspective. Once they see you as a money maker for them, your life and what happens to you does not matter.
The tactics they use, Marcus wishes he should have known because they have caused so much damage to families for years to come through Parental Alienation as well as how terrible they treat the Non Custodial parents.
Marcus encourages parents to understand the tactics DHS uses such as denying information for people to help themselves, not getting visitations in and false accusations so they can justify their treatment of a Non Custodial Parent. These are some of the tactics DHR uses.
DHR uses these tactics and their goal is to drive a parent into the ground financially and emotionally where a parent cannot even begin to fight back.
DHS makes money for the Court House. The discussion went to what really happened to the stimulus checks. When DHR took this money, did they get matching funding? Are the judges receiving money from the incentives on top of their salaries? The taxpayer should be aware that Social Security is being robbed by CPS and Title IV-D.
Marcus explained his journey through debtor's prison and his heart attack that nearly ended his life and how the guards treated him during this episode. Human Rights violations are committed every day in prisons.
Just because a person is granted full custody doesn't make them the better parent. The courts just saw an opportunity. The court profits off of families and is an adversarial system.

Michael Volpe Brings Updates On Judge Gordon Miller, Alleged Witness Tampering And What's Going On In Miami Dade Aug 27, 2021

Show notes

Michael Volpe back on Slam the Gavel with very interesting conversation. Michael talks about Judge Gordon Miller's outburst in his courtroom in Forsyth County, NC where he threatened court watchers with jail, being threatened with witness tampering and the update on the cases in Miami Dade. Very important podcast with Michael Volpe exposing the corruption that so few know about.
Kristen Rash’s testimony, the Davie County social worker/caseworker who Michael Volpe thinks is falsely accusing him of witness tampering (part 1 and part 2).

Ayanna Brown’s testimony, also in Forsyth County, NC, social worker/caseworker (in-home services) and she describes what happened on June 22, approximately 8 minutes in. Also, she got the date wrong which is so very important however, this is the incident she is speaking about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msT1Eb3O5Pc
It seems that CPS has too much power and that they are not only incompetent but inept at best. Will there be a day that CPS is abolished; they are parasites, preying on families only bringing destruction upon the children and breaking up decent, fit families. This will disturb future generations while destroying precious family bonds. And CPS doesn't care.

Mark T. Andrews Talks About Having A Slice Of The PTSD Pie Aug 26, 2021

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes Mark T. Andrews back on the show to talk about the perils of PTSD when trapped in the Family Court System. After going through Family Court system for 19 years and 73 hearings later, Mark explains how he has suffered two heart attacks with a couple of stents and an open heart surgery. Every six years he has had a heart procedure.
Anxiety is a player in all of this when a parent is thinking about what can happen next in the Family Court nightmare. We talked about sleep disturbances affecting our lives. REM sleep is very important to our bodies. Mark states, "we suffer and they make money."
The courts keep creating income, not settling these cases via Legal Abuse Syndrome. The children are the ones that are suffering the most through this. Mark didn't get to see his kids graduate nor get married. "Not knowing about your kids and not knowing if they are safe," Mark states, "adds to the PTSD." Mark hasn't heard from his daughter since 2008 nor his son. He is an erased father. Missing milestones; your child getting taller, graduating from high school and getting married and not being able to be there further the affects of PTSD.
None of us planned to go to law school after we got married. No one counts on spouses changing. Personality Disorders should be addressed prior to marriage. The next generation is going to have to put their foot down to stop the buying and selling of human chattel in a courtroom. Family Court goes on and on and on.
We talked about fraud on the court and how long our own cases have lingered in the courts. The courts have incentive to chase a parent until it gets its money. Child Support for instance, that debt weighs on a person. Debt also furthers PTSD. Everything snowballs into a heartbreaking disaster and the children are the ones that will have permanent emotional scars.
All parents just want their children to be happy and that they don't have to go through this Family Court nightmare in their lives.

Samantha Baldwin, Author, Campaigning To Expose Family Court Corruption, Self Vindication And Making Changes To The Corrupt System Aug 26, 2021

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes Samantha Baldwin, book author from Manchester England. She has written the Book, "Everything is Going to be Okay," available on Amazon and Kindle. This book was written within one year, to not only tell her story, but expose the corruption within the Family Court system. The book had to be fictionalized for legal reasons.
Since losing her sons to their abuser and being accused of the crime of drugging her sons, Samantha has been fighting tirelessly to expose this criminal enterprise and to be vindicated of the crime of drugging her own children. Samantha is focusing on vindicating herself however there has been a 914 Order and she is banned for making applications to the court for four years. Samantha has solid evidence such as passing two polygraph tests that the court will not entertain. There is a great amount of injustice within the court system for people trying desperately to clear their names.
Samantha is now a campaigner intent on exposing the corruption and malpractice within Britain's secretive family court system who are continuing to fail children continuously and costing many children their precious lives.
Child abuse victims are often not believed, with protective parents being vilified and in tragic and frequent cases the children are removed from their protective parent time and time again and are forced by the state to live with their abuser.
She hopes to make changes to the system one day and will fight until her sons are home safe with her. After her ex took custody of her sons, Samantha has not seen them since 2017. This is happening to many mothers throughout the world, decent fit parents as well as decent fathers.
Samantha hopes her book will help many children and their safe, fit parents.

Dorcy Pruter, Founder and CEO Of Conscious Co-Parenting Institute Discusses Reunification And Strategies For Parents To Reconnect And Stay Connected With Their Children During High-Conflict Divorce Aug 24, 2021

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes guest, Dorcy Pruter on to the show! Dorcy is the founder and CEO of Conscious Co-Parenting Institute, a Dorcy Inc. Company. She is recognized as one of the top reunification specialists worldwide, and is also a certified master coach and family mediator.
Through reunification coaching and co-parenting education, Dorcy provides strategies and solutions for parents and children to reconnect, and stay connected, during and after a high-conflict separation/divorce.
Dorcy has created several different coaching programs that meet the family’s needs depending on where they are at in the family court process, ultimately so the children can be free to have a relationship with both parents.
We discussed several topics regarding child custody cases in the Family Court System, especially when there is an emotional and physical cutoff between one parent and the child.
Much ground was covered as we also discussed what happens in a high-conflict family dynamic and a co-parenting dynamic and how that affects the child. Reunification is highly important while overcoming challenges and obstacles to move forward. However, ultimately the issue is how to solve and resolve this type of family dynamic and dysfunction.
The Family Court system and mental health professionals are not helping parents get the services they need in order to repair a situation before it gets much worse. More education is needed within the court system, so families can begin to heal and a child can have both parents in their lives.

Cordell Ellis, Author, Talks About The Future Of His Book That Will Help Todays Troubled Youth Aug 23, 2021

Show notes

Slam the Gavel has Author Cordell Ellis back on the show to discuss his plans for his book, The Forty Mile Journey. He would like to see his book become a tool to be incorporated into a workbook for different stages of youth as well as adults but primarily focusing on the youth.
A workbook that is adapted for all grades; grade school, middle school and high school. The workbooks will be to help young people recognize certain things in their lives they can relate to. The youth need to be able to recognize things that affect them internally but also affect their outward behaviors and to understand the consequences of their behaviors.
This will be a wonderful tool where they can not only write down and share their thoughts but also share what they have written with a teacher or counselor. Then there can be discussion and perhaps intervention which will take place to prevent some of the impulsive actions that are occurring in the acts of our youth.
The evolution from his book into a workbook for at risk youth/youth in general being adapted for all stages of growth will be an essential learning tool.
Early intervention in the stages of growth for at risk youth would be a valuable tool to help solve a problem before it escalates.
