Rod McCall, author, discusses his own personal experience with Parental Alienation and his book, For the Love of Eryk Feb 25, 2021

Show notes

Rod McCall, author, on Slam the Gavel discusses his personal experience with Parental Alienation, which was so severe that it led to the death of his son Eryk who was killed at the hands of his own mother when she lost her parental rights as the courts finally saw through her alienating behaviors. Rod McCall has also interviewed many other parents as well as professionals in family law as Rod's book is an excellent and powerful resource which can raise awareness, educate and be a catalyst for change. Rod has also testified before the Texas legislature about Parental Alienation which can also be found on YouTube.
Great discussion on how Parental Alienation can be spoken about and to educate others on the behaviors of Parental Alienation. Others label it as "junk science," but that is far from the truth. Amy Baker, Ed Kruk and Attorney Ashish Joshi were discussed at length as well as the film, "Erasing Family," by Ginger Gentile.
Family Court Judges and Attorneys need to be educated in this realm of Parental Alienation for the sake of future generations as we talked about the deceit and corrupt actions of attorneys deciding case outcomes even before a parent walks through the doors of Family Court.
For the Love of Eryk, Surviving Divorce, Parental Alienation, and Life After is found on Amazon

Jodi Peary, JD, PhD discusses divorce and CoParenting and the many ways Family Court can make communication difficult Feb 23, 2021

Show notes

Jodi Peary, JD, PhD is on Slam the Gavel with her expertise of working at the intersection of law and psychology. Dr. Peary is sharing some of the ways Enlightened CoParenting as a holistic approach, can help families to heal and still feel like a family despite divorce. Communication is key but focusing on the details of communication alone often leads to two parents gritting their teeth and being polite for a period of time. When differences arise, the communication rules go out the window.
In Enlightened CoParenting there is a focus on incorporating emotional intelligence in children which ends up influencing the emotional intelligence of parents. It also deepens the relationship between parent and child which can help to lower the level of anxiety parents have when the child is with the other parent. Healing for the parent themselves reinforces their parenting strengths.
Dr. Peary discusses the actionable points for achieving improvement to CoParent, to CoParent relationships, parent-child relationships which is really important for teens but can be scaffolded with younger kids before they are teens, and relationship with self.
Dr. Peary is also running a class and to sign up please go to: course.enlightenedparenting.com

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes Crystal for another educational episode that discusses not only the Office of the Inspector General but also the slavery that inflicts and infests the Foster Care System that has been a global problem.
Crystal's message is clear: Wake Up America, do not put your children's pictures on social media of any kind. Parents must not be afraid, while encouraging parents to study the Sex Trafficking laws and stand together. The message is loud and clear.
Labeled herself for being in the Foster Care System, Crystal tells a little bit about her story. Crystal explains that 90% of the Sex Trafficking involves not only CPS but Foster Care. Much to learn from this podcast as Crystal is concerned for our future generations.

PART THREE: Monica Griego discusses her recent court appearance and wanting her children back home Feb 04, 2021

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes Monica back on the show. Monica walks us through her journey of the death of her parents and now dealing with her children in Foster Care. She explained her one daughter is Autistic and that it would be better for her children to be home with her and doing well in school during this time of Covid. Monica states that Foster Care is not a home as her children don't know when they are coming or going.
Monica encourages parents to read and educate themselves in the law when dealing with CPS. She explains that it is a parent's right to video and take pictures, read the treatment plans thoroughly and call the Governor's Office if parents can't get the ahold of the treatment plan. Don't give up on your children, Monica encourages and that Autistic children need help and a routine, however the courts are treating them as a child with no learning deficits and judges and lawyers need to understand this.
What concerns Monica is that when her children are returned to her from Foster Care there needs to be agencies to help with the transition from being exposed in Foster Care to returning to their forever home with their parents.
