Augustus Vaughn, Author, Discusses The System Of Child Support, Debtor's Prison And Arranged Marriages Sep 22, 2022

Show notes

Slam the Gavel Podcast welcomes Augustus Vaughn from Beverly Hills California. Augustus was featured at every "open mic" poetry venue he could find until the state of Oklahoma was no longer a task to the young poet. So Augustus was once more drawn back to the state of California where he would do charity work and discover what issues needed close attention in his area. Eventually he realized that these issues were not just in his area, but nationwide, so he decided to write his first book, "The Bad Boy."
Now he runs an organization based on dealing with common issues through literature, features on well-renowned book sites like Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Audible, iTunes. He has also given full access to a free library on his own site.
One may not be superstitious, but considering that Augustus was born on the same day that Caesar Augustus died (August 19th), this might be the continuation of a great empire.
We discussed several topics from the disaster of child support, Debtor's Prison and the effects it has on children, the ACE'S Scores and how money drags children into the system. Fascinating discussion regarding the benefits to arranged marriages and how it is close to impossible to do in this day and age. Great conversation in all avenues of child support, the judiciary and relationships.

James Schoch Speaks Out On Civil Rights, 2A Rights, The TRUTH And DON'T TREAD ON ME Sep 18, 2022

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes James Schoch to the show to discuss updates to his case. He was last on the show Season 3 Episodes, 3 and 37. He freely discussed his court appearance on this past Thursday and Friday and how he was glad that he spoke the TRUTH and had his say in the courtroom via Zoom. James stated, "Silent No More." He had to say what needed to be said in that courtroom on Friday as his attorney Tricia S. Lindsay supported his words fiercely.
A formidable attorney, Attorney Tricia S. Lindsay specializes in Criminal Defense, Civil Litigation, Family and Matrimonial Law, Personal Injury as well as Wills, Trusts and Estate Planning. She has also been on several YouTube videos championing Civil Rights.
James feels Family Court is truly a trap for parents and does a great disservice to the public. He also pointed out there was a false accusation however, not in writing. James was also disappointed in the AFC (Wellness Attorney that speaks on behalf of the child), David Peck who excused himself from the Zoom meeting.
James feels that there is hope and, "when you have gone the distance of 3.5 years, $150,000.00, seven attorneys and multiple states, I am not going to be bullied anymore." Friday was a small victory James feels and it makes him feel empowered to go on and continue to fight for his son's best interests.

EXCLUSIVE: Jay Rosenthal, Of CPSprotect.com Discusses The Future Of Child Welfare And It's Implications For Parental Rights Sep 16, 2022

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes back Jay Rosenthal. He was last on the show Season 3, Episode 87. Mr. Rosenthal is a Child Welfare Consultant and a former Child Protective Services (CPS) Investigator. On our last podcast he explained how he founded CPSprotect Consulting Services, a first of its kind consulting firm designed to help families prepare for and navigate CPS investigations in a strategic manner.
"The Alternative Response," is being pitched as Child Welfare's way of addressing the disparities in the Child Welfare system. On a case by case basis, cases can be assigned to this alternate method of CPS involvement.
The alternative response tends to have no determination of allegations, no court involvement and focuses on putting in place a CPS-contracted in-home prevention services to address safety concerns. When put like that, it sounds like a great idea! The truth however, is that it's not what it seems. The Alternative Response is ALREADY present in MOST states and is expected to become the MOST common type of CPS involvement in America within the NEXT FIVE YEARS. CPS could be visiting a family 2 to 3 times a week, spending several hours at a time, for example.
Excellent conversation that we all should be aware of because in 2019, 4.4 million calls were put into CPS and only 2.2 million met criteria. We discussed the disastrous Arizona DCS case where caseworkers wearing bright pink t-shirts that said on the back, "do you know where your children are?" Removals of children from the home are becoming politically incorrect and VERY serious. Jay Rosenthal has given families a HEADS UP to what is coming in our future and the future of our children.

Angel Law Discusses COURT 101: Recusing Judges And How To Fill Out A Judicial Complaint Sep 16, 2022

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes a new guest, Angel Law. She is a long time, 9 year survivor of Family Court. She is a grateful Mother of three. Angel is a paralegal and assists on cases of extreme corruption, violence and sexual assault.
Having learned from legal greats, she became a paralegal in an effort to help many families across the country being systematically destroyed by these corrupt, illegitimate courts.
Today, we will explore the topic of her journey to successfully file a judicial complaint and a motion to remove a very deranged judge from her own case, where she automatically faced more retaliation.
Angel suggested doing a spread sheet of the Judicial Canons that are applied to your own case while keeping track of the break down of numerous violations in the judge conduct. When a courtroom becomes its own legislative body and negates the codes that exist, then they are not a judge. Discretion within the law; they don't have the right to legislate from the bench. Going into family court you lose all faith in the Judicial system. Use a statement and how it violates a Canon.
Discussing Family Court Law in the state of California, Angel explains that the 730 Custody Evaluations is the biggest sham ever, a racketeering syndicate and they give kickbacks to each other, a referral relationship and give attorneys a specified outcome.
On recusing a judge, you file your complaints to an oversight board. The Commission on Judicial performance cannot take action on a judge who is presently acting on your case and you must show how the presiding judge is derelict of duty and let the CJP know as well.
Angel Law hopes to share her experience and help others advance in their own cases. There will be more to say in the next podcast with Angel Law.

Former Attorney, Talks About Courts Forgetting That The Parent Is Advocating For Their Child And The Taxpayer's Expense Sep 15, 2022

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes a former attorney who was actually a family law attorney from 1999-2003, when she left practice to be a full-time homemaker and mother of two.
Her experience as a litigant from 2017 to present in Georgia has given her a first hand experience from the other side of the "perfect storm" of family court corruption and all the players in government and the legal profession supporting it.
Questioning the bias of some judges who may possibly dislike Family Law Litigants while getting angry at the litigant seeking relief was only one of the topics of discussion. Family Court is supposed to be there to protect families, not destroy the family relationships/bond. However it appears that Family Court is there to defame the to use Guardian Ad Litems at their discretion, only speaking to a child for one hour yet the parent is billed thousands.
Families are destroyed every day through the courts due to the false allegations coming from Personality Disorders that completely run the show.
She discussed that the GAL need to take their job seriously and judges do not take harsh actions on people for lying in Family Court, as the Guardian Ad Litem helps to drag the case out. The judges nor GAL are not held accountable in the best interest of the child.
Target parents are losing their children because the GAL reports are not done correctly and submitted six months late. The problem is that everyone has a right to be heard but there is much to be said about the behaviors in the three-ring family court circus and the taxpayer needs to be aware of where their monies are going.

Marineka Bowman And Her Family Speak Out On Her DFS Complaints/Evidence That Is Ignored By Family Court And The Disaster Of Co-Parenting Sep 13, 2022

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes new guest, Marineka Bowman and her family members to the podcast. She is a wonderful Mother of a five year old daughter. Mother explained that her ex-husband left the house when their daughter was only two months old. However she did not go to the courts looking for child support as she tried to work it out with him. There was barely a response.
Now, when her daughter was a happy three year old, the father came back into their lives and went before the courts saying that he wanted to only see his daughter two hours a week. Judge Natalie Haskins made a comment that, 'it would make it harder for you in the future to get full custody if you do this.' But there really was no problem in obtaining custody.
At present time, the Father has complete custody and when Marineka does see her daughter on a scheduled basis, her child's head is shaved as we'll as an eyebrow. There are alleged reports on child sexual abuse that have gone unnoticed from DFS (CPS). The school system is doing nothing to help her, even though they are mandated reporters.
Now father would like Marineka to visit with their daughter at a visitation center, costing $60.00 a visit and eventually would like to see mother completely erased out of their lives and even calls his child by a different name.
What Marineka has learned is that the opposing counsel has a hand in this abuse of her daughter as Judge Haskins addresses Attorney Laura Brooks as "Laura," while in the courtroom. Very unprofessional. From there they were ordered co-parent counseling which proved disastrous. The counselor yelled and used expletives and didn't care.
Marineka is being watched very closely as she explains in this podcast. Being a Targeted parent and being penalized for protecting her daughter has gone to the extreme so much so that they now are blaming Marineka for the abuse.
Please tune in to a future podcast with Marineka and her family for updates.

Laurie Smith, LMSW, Speaks Out On Getting Clear About The Chaos In The Family Courts, Problems And Solutions Sep 12, 2022

Show notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes Laurie Smith, LMSW back on the show. Laurie Smith has been practicing social work for 18 years and is well versed in multiple modalities, theories and evidence-based practices. Her work has continuously involved working with marginalized populations. Her passion is working with Trauma Survivors (individuals, providers and systems ), through offering self-guided, self-paced journeys that point towards Harnessing the Power of Our Own Internal GPS, Wielding Our Survival Skills and Building Armor Strategically to improve Quality of Life, Effectiveness and Sustainability for all and dig into our Birthright to Our Power and Joy.
What has impacted her work the most is her own Trauma Transformations and Utilization of Universal Laws in everyday life.
We discussed how the family court system impacts parents and how children are treated as property; how this evolved into the system developed in the Colonial Era. This adversarial system is set up to ruin families and it is a system of "pay to play."
It is time to be vocal about how many people this is affecting. It is people that are trying to survive every day or have been diagnosed with mental illness that is now being used against them in the courts. The world will say whatever about us but we always have a choice and we get to decide how we will relate what is happening to us. This pathological system, it is chaos and the most effective way through it is to go inside and gain your own resources in terms of a support system and empowerment.
Live a life that means something to you. Moving forward we are not under such naive illusions that life is fair, it is not. Don't put your faith in what is happening in the outside world and people are not alone. Laurie encourages to enjoy every day, do a gratitude practice, no matter what is happening around you. Focus on positive things, because they can't take that away from you.
