Evan Stark, Ph.D., MSW Professor Emeritus, Rutgers University discusses his book, "Coercive Control: The Entrapment of Women in Personal Life Mar 30, 2021

Show notes

Excellent interview with Evan Stark Ph.D, MSW is a sociologist, forensic social worker, widely published author and researcher with an international reputation for his innovative work on the legal, policy and health dimensions of interpersonal violence, including its effects on children.
Dr. Stark's award winning book, Coercive Control: The Entrapment of Women in Personal Life (Oxford 2007) has played a major role in redefining domestic violence internationally and is one basis for new offense of "coercive and controlling behavior," in the England, Scotland, Ireland and Australia and elsewhere.
A co-founder of an early shelter for battered women in New Haven and co-director of the path-breaking Yale Trauma Studies, he has held numerous state and federal appointments related to domestic violence.
Dr. Stark also has served as an expert in more than 100 criminal, family, civil and child welfare cases throughout the US and in Canada as well as providing evidence in the Sally Challen case before the Royal High Court of Appeals in London.
Dr. Stark explains that "domestic violence" is neither primarily domestic nor necessarily violent, but a pattern of controlling behaviors more akin to terrorism and hostage-taking. Dr. Stark draws on court records, interviews and FBI statistics while detailing coercive strategies that men (and women) use to deny women their very personhood from using micromanaging their dress code, speech and sexual activity. This is a livery crime rather than a crime of assault.
Coming out with not only a new addition to Coercive Control, his next book will be focusing on children.

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes Crystal and her friend Zachary on the show with heated discussion on the travesty of the Foster Care System. Zachary (name has been changed) discusses his experience with CPS, Foster Care and as well as being, "thrown away," and how this has impacted his life. Crystal tells us that there are parents that throw their own children out into the streets as a form of "tough love," as their children find places to sleep behind grocery stores and trying to live off the streets.
Crystal strongly advises to parents not to open the door to CPS and also to record their conversations She also explains how these agencies are Government Funded and paid for by the government. From CPS to Foster Care for profit, these children, some have been taken from fit, loving homes. Their lives forever disrupted and destroyed along with parents longing and searching for their children while missing milestones in their children's lives.
The discussion of Guardianships came up as well and how the government interferes in the disabled and elderly's lives as we talked about the Netflix movie, "I Care A lot."
Crystal discussed the Family Court system and how unfair it is and how parents find themselves in situations dealing with CPS and then the Family Court system.

Sheila from Ireland back on the show to discuss loss, grief and how corruption in Family Court perpetuates Parental Alienation....More to Follow Mar 21, 2021

Show notes

Great to have Sheila back on Slam the Gavel as she describes her loss and sorrow over losing her daughter in a corrupt Family Court system and how her feelings affected her life and career. She discusses how these feelings affect men as well, as people suspect and judge a person based on an allegation and come to their own conclusions as to how a mother or father lost their child to the other parent.
Sheila describes what it does to a mother's or father's psyche and it is a nightmare that you cannot wake up from. Parents feel isolated and ashamed as their own children are used as weapons against them.
The Legal system continuously perpetuates the Parental Alienation that destroys Parents and Children. Sheila encourages parents with coping skills and tells us we have nothing to be ashamed of. As more new judges emerge, it may help as they are more open to the knowledge of Parental Alienation. Time will tell. More to come as Sheila will be back on the show in the future.

Show notes

Excellent conversation with Davey from Darby, England as he talks about his life in the UK during this pandemic and raising his daughter as she is entering the teen years.
Trying to entertain a teen is a challenge especially during a pandemic but Dave has great coping skills to ensure they have good communication which is very important as he wasn't able to see her for three months into the pandemic. He tells us she is very interested in music and taking walks.
Discussing how hard this pandemic has been on everyone and how hard it is on everyone's mental health as well as staying indoors most of the year, coping skills are very important.
A lively conversation as we discussed the royal family and running to stay in shape and horror films. It was wonderful to have Davey back on from Darby, UK.

Bjorn Cedervall, Ph.D.,M.Sc., from Sweden talks about Parental Alienation, the problem with Social Services and the Legal System Mar 19, 2021

Show notes

Bjorn Cedervall, Ph.D., M.Sc., is an associate professor in the Faculty of Medicine at the Karolinska Institute , Stockholm, Sweden. Dr. Cedervall has worked as a scientist and an educator in the field of medicine at several universities and also as a specialist in the nuclear power industry,
He became aware of Parental Alienation following the divorce of a relative, which escalated to a nightmare very quickly. This prompted him to study scientific papers on a wide range of topics relating to Parental Alienation as well as aspects of the child protection system.
As Dr. Cedervall is partly retired, he is now committed to increase the awareness of Parental Alienation in Sweden.
Dr. Cedervall discussed manipulation and emotional abuse a child goes through by an alienating parent, gaslighting and its definition and how children are recruited to spy on a Target Parent. Personality Disorders were brought to attention as well, explains the Cluster B Personality Disorders such as Narcissism, Borderline PD, Antisocial PD and Histrionic PD. The alienating parent is an expert in lying and manipulation to everyone around them.
Social Services misses so many red flags because they don't understand what Parental Alienation is and they are not competent to deal with it. Social Services fulfills many roles such as teachers, psychologists and judge though they are not trained in neither. The power that they hold is tremendous and when parents know the laws, Social Services will want to take away the child in revenge.

To be noted: Dr. Amy Baker and Jennifer Jill Harmon Ph.D.

Such a thorough discussion on Slam the Gavel, surely not to be missed.

Deanna Kloostra, Divorce Coach talks about "Revengeful Parent Syndrome" and Torture Techniques used in Family Court to Enhance the Corruption Mar 12, 2021

Show notes

Deanna Kloostra back on Slam the Gavel talks about several topics such as researching Parental Alienation Syndrome 15 years ago from Dr. Gardner who allegedly committed suicide. She talks about PAS and how it affects mothers and fathers.
Revengeful Parent Syndrome Deanna discovered in December, is a Torture Technique used in court to run Mothers down in order to give the children to abusive Fathers.
Along with our topics of discussion were Child Trafficking through the railroad and talked about the YouTube videos by Tim Ballard, who rescues children being trafficked.
The rigors of Family Court were discussed as they quickly diagnose a Mother with Borderline Personality Disorder which then opens the door for the Father to take the children. There is no justice in the courtroom. It is in the best interest of their pockets and not the children. Deanna mentioned a website : https://www.torturetraumatherapy.com/post/michigan-torture-laws
We are frustrated with the court system being rigged as the courts slowly break down the Mother to get custody of the children to hand over to the Father, however the courts will also conceal the children from the Father to get him to fight for custody if he is not trying to take children from the Mother. It's all to make more money for those working in the courts.

Cheryl A. Kennedy returns to talk about Cuomo and National Security Now and Court Corruption Mar 11, 2021

Show notes

Cheryl A. Kennedy discusses cases of corruption under Cuomo in NY and the need for National Security. Being that Kennedy is a Constitutionalist, Rights Activist and Whistleblower, she has been commenting for years on election fraud, fake news and fraud in foreclosures etc. She addressed the impartiality and unfairness of the corruption within the court system.
Also discussed the Bar Association and it being questionably usurped by Britain with attorneys having an allegiance to Britain. Courts however, are making billions of dollars each year along with kickback scams in the legislature. Cheryl agrees the judiciary should be abiding by the Constitution, but it is not and feels it should be shut down. The judiciary is a mockery and so corrupt as there is no accountability. Even in the Thomas Valva case, Cheryl feels National Security should step in due to the corruption.
Much discussion on the sexual impropriety within the political arena but also in the military as well.
Cheryl A. Kennedy is the author of, "And Justice For All, An American Illusion," found on Amazon. A blog she has maintained during the Obama years is: areyouawaremedia.wordpress.com

Michael Volpe back on to talk about the 31 judge recusals, a 14 year-old being sent to live with her abuser while her mother is jailed and the definition of Parental Alienation/Family Court Corruption Mar 08, 2021

Show notes

Michael Volpe is back with a heated topic recently involving a 14 year-old ordered to live with her abuser as her mother is jailed. Soon after the judge recuses herself. No surprise, as on YouTube a video called, "St. Louis Family Court Corruption," shows where numerous Guardian ad Litems (GAL's) gather in a coven to conspire and collude together in a twisted story of court corruption involving another GAL. Another fly in the ointment evolves when 31 judges recuse themselves. All this is explained in this episode on Slam the Gavel.
So much was talked about in reference to his book, "Prosecutor's Gone Wild," and RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act). Heated discussion on the usage and term of Parental Alienation came on to the scene as well with much debate.
