The Hidden ‘Genocide’ of the Family Courts

The Magnitude, Agency, and Actors Must be Correctly Assessed

My twenty-five years of practicing psychiatry and working with violent offenders have taught me that, when dealing with perpetrators of violence, nothing must be taken for their word and everything should be gauged by their actions. About a year into my researching the Family Courts, I came to gauge the activity occurring inside them as a form of genocide: literally, “killing of a kind” — regardless of what they claim with words alone. I will leave it to lawyers to engage in the legal nitpicking, the bizarre vagaries, and the communication blackout that characterize Family Courts, creating the conditions under which the public can be kept in the dark.

As a physician concerned with life and death and as a scholar of violence who has studied genocides, however — not to mention the sheer body count — my task is to describe, as accurately as possible, what I see. Polish lawyer Raphäel Lemkin coined the term through a combination of the Ancient Greek génos, “sort, category,” and the Latin caedere, “to kill,” to “signify a coordinated plan of different actions aimed at the destruction [of groups], with the aim of annihilating the groups.” Which group? We will define it for now, to be refined later, as: “mothers and children who allege abuse in Family Court.”

I diverge slightly from the 1948 United Nations (UN) Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, which omitted the category of targeted social or political groups, in a compromise that was necessary in the negotiating process with the member state Soviet Union, which objected to the inclusion in order to protect its own actions against political dissidents. I am insisting on the inclusion of social or political group here — for the social group of concern is a distinct group of dissidents in Family Court, and the ideological opinion of concern is that children should be protected from abuse. In this manner, the target for elimination is an idea, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, or nationality. This accords better with more contemporary scholarship and with my own experience of teaching asylum law at Yale Law School for seventeen years. Asylees in need of protection from government persecution are defined not only by race, religion, or nationality but by membership of a particular social group or political opinion, whether actual or imputed, consistent with the 1951 UN Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees.

Lemkin’s initial conceptualizations, furthermore, bring up a poignant aspect of genocide that repeats in Family Courts:

I was startled by the description of the destruction of the Christians by Nero. They were thrown to the lions while the emperor sat laughing on the Roman arena…. I realized, vividly, that if a Christian could have called a policeman to help he would not have received any protection. Here was a group of people collectively sentenced to death for no reason except that they believed in Christ. And nobody could help them…. I was fascinated … by the great suffering inflicted on the victims and the hopelessness of their fate, and by the impossibility of repairing the damage.

In the U.S. Family Courts, the most heinous human crimes imaginable — the torture, maiming, and murder of innocent children — are occurring at industrial scale, with hundreds of new cases of children per day, day after day, year after year, over decades, in all fifty U.S. states. Yet, these children are not the primary targets, but their mothers (and occasionally fathers) — who, as they witness the destruction of their children — who are murdered at a rate of one every six days — die from grief, suicide, cancer, heart attack, or “broken heart syndrome.” As happens with systematic genocide, the organizers of these massacres are not punished according to the law with death penalties and life imprisonments but rewarded with promotions and multiple billions of dollars a year.

Several litigants under my sister’s Family Court judge, Jane Gallina-Mecca, have expressed the exact same sentiments as Lemkin’s of Christians being thrown to the lions: “I was crying [as she was handing my children to their abuser], and the judge was laughing.” They are part of a group of people collectively sentenced to metaphorical or literal “death”, for no reason other than that they broached the subject of child abuse in Family Court (or were imputed to broach the subject, in the case of the children reporting or resisting to go to the abusive parent, or actual evidence being found of child abuse). Once branded with broaching the subject of child abuse — or “parental alienation” — like being found to be a Christian in Nero’s time, the victim not only loses her children but all her Constitutional rights, her assets, her home(s), her profession(s), her reputation, her dignity, and her freedom (through incarceration, hospitalization, or guardianship), if not her life. The obvious goal is to render the victim litigant incapable of fighting back or becoming an effective whistleblower.

If any of these terrified mothers called the police for help, they would not have received any protection — not by Child Protective Services, not by school officials or medical professionals, and not by the county prosecutor or sheriff. The usual mechanisms of federal court, most of the time appellate court, and most likely judicial review board are nonexistent, because the “discretion” Family Courts are allowed is almost unlimited, unlike other courts. Even the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) takes a “hands off” approach and joins everyone else who falls in line under the implicit understanding that they are not to interfere. This is how there came to be “No Way Out but One” in the 1990’s, but now even the “One” way out has all but disappeared.

Indeed, six murders have surfaced in connection to Gallina-Mecca at this time, as a result of refusing to issue protective orders, arbitrarily removing permanent protective orders, or otherwise provoking situations to make them more dangerous. In my sister’s case, Gallina-Mecca issued a court order explicitly permitting her violent husband to break into her house against the security alarm — an alarm whose very purpose was to guard against him alone — just weeks after he attempted to murder her for a third time. Previously, when there was a protective order against him for causing head injuries to his children, Gallina-Mecca rendered it useless by ordering the children to visit with him over the protective order, placing them in greater danger than if the protective order did not exist! Reports of Gallina-Mecca laughing at victims of domestic violence, her aggressively shunning evidence — going as far as to order one critical piece destroyed — and her insisting once that my sister place herself in a dangerous situation, despite four medical professionals submitting reports that she could die, showed that these actions were deliberate and sadistic. She would come directly to place my sister’s life at risk three times, not to mention place her children under sole, unsupervised custody of the father who almost killed each of them. However, Gallina-Mecca’s actions are not unusual for Family Court culture, which rewards such behavior — and her promotion to being chief judge of the county’s Family Court is unsurprising.

The recent deaths of Catherine Kassenoff — a former special counsel to the New York State governor — and of Sinéad O’Connor — a highly-successful Irish singer — illustrate that legal competence and talented capabilities make matters worse, not better, for mothers in Family Courts. Indeed, among the more than one thousand cases I have witnessed or heard about, there seems to be a correlation between a woman’s abilities, including parenting abilities, and the draconian measures that rain down on them. This would make sense only if the Courts were functioning as instruments of the violent perpetrators who, enabled and emboldened in Family Court, become far more dangerous and brazen in their drive to bring down the capable women and excellent mothers whom they experienced, in their own personal lives, that they could not match. I believe that this has become the case, and Family Courts become the locus of collusion and cooperation with their extreme violence, as a result of the following characteristics:

1. Family Courts are said to be the bottom rung of all courts (“the sewer” of the judicial system, according to one legal scholar).

2. Incompetence and poor quality, coupled with absolute control by a single judge under total secrecy, has encouraged a lucrative abuse industry.

3. The abusers, upon entering “courts” that reward incompetence and enable abuse, grow maximally dangerous and deadly.

4. The abusers’ primary targets are the ex-spouses who have threatened to leave them, to whom they feel inferior, and whose annihilation would “vindicate” them.

5. The abusers’ secondary targets are the children, whose torture and death are compelling paths to causing the torture and slow death of ex-spouses.

Because Family Courts, by enabling or at best not holding accountable abusive personalities, have the effect of ballooning their entitlement, expectations, delusions of grandeur, and unlimited violence with impunity. These individuals, able to weaponize the legal system to enslave, torture, disfigure, and decimate their victims under “legal protection,” become actors in the larger Family Court carnage for profit that has become an industrial organization of genocide.

Evelyn Nissirios — ‘The Most Horrible, Horrible F*ing GAL!’

Evelyn Nissirios — ‘The Most Horrible, Horrible F*ing GAL!’

‘She is the Worst Person I Have Ever Read About or Met!’

Reports on Evelyn Nissirios are accelerating, not slowing down. The latest is by someone in the mental health field. “I didn’t mean to curse,” the person apologized, “but she just put a child rape victim in a pedophile’s arms — she needs a full psychiatric evaluation!” This is again a variation of the recurrent question I have been receiving about her as a psychiatrist: “What is wrong with Evelyn Nissirios?”

“I am in the caring field, and I get very angry when it comes to abuse of children,” the person kept trying to explain. I responded: “Of course it makes you angry, as it should everybody! This is why I try to publicize what the Family Courts are doing as much as possible — it is so unthinkable and so inhumane, it actually helps them to get away with what they do, because people simply cannot believe that something like this could be happening.”

No one could fathom such a thing for one child, let alone a minimum of one hundred sixty children a day, every day of the year, year after year, in every U.S. state — playing a role in one child murder every six days, and the death of innumerable loving parents from grief, suicide, cancer and other stress-related illnesses, or heart attacks and “broken heart syndrome.” Nevertheless, amid this hidden holocaust, kept secret through “court seals,” “gag orders,” terrorism, coercion, and intimidation of the press, Nissirios is the Adolf Eichmann of the Family Courts.

“You cannot even say it is an iron fist and a velvet glove,” said another observer of her and her protector, Judge Jane Gallina-Mecca. “They are an iron fist and an iron fist!” The venomous hatred that comes out of Nissirios, when she coldly and calculatingly as guardian ad litem (GAL) does everything she can to annihilate the life of each child who comes under her charge, is something to analyze. Why is she so eagerly intent on severing healthy child-parent bonds? The stronger it is, the more she seems to attack it with a vengeance. And what drives her to punish excellent — even superb — mothers so viciously from the very beginning, when they have done nothing to her? What happened in her own childhood that has caused this twisted, aberrant vindictiveness toward total strangers? Family Courts derive obscene profits from corrupt practices, but this alone cannot explain her apparently voracious appetite for sadism.

There is still no report of Nissirios’ appearance before the Judicial Review Board, the New Jersey Supreme Court, or any other disciplinary body. How large, then, is her circle of complicity? First, there is the entire Saddle River Board of Education, including past president Jon Peros, current president Emily Kaufman, superintendent Gina Cinotti, Yasmin Elshami, Kaitlyn Lawler, and Elizabeth Salazer, in addition to Nissirios herself. We know from their absolute stonewalling of any communication that they probably conjecture that what I told them is true (and therefore, “hear no evil, speak no evil”). There are also her firm employers, Lawrence Meyerson, Anne Fox, and John Conte Jr., who themselves are mandated reporters who cannot not know about her “professional” activities.

Then there is the Bergen County North Ethics Committee, which has appointed her, likely without opposition, since they are always in need of volunteers — but do they do no screening? Then there is the Office of Attorney Ethics, which has refused to investigate her, based on her “being under the supervision” of Judge Gallina-Mecca. And then there is the Court of Gallina-Mecca herself, who, far from conducting “ethical supervision,” is a criminal co-conspirator with her in multiple cases.

Here is what one brilliant lawyer has said, in his essay about the need to abolish GAL’s in the Family Courts:

Tedious exploration [of an entire body of legal literature on why GAL’s exist] has finally revealed that the answer is not found in the law of the land, but in the law of the jungle. The truth lies in the symbiotic relationship between the tickbird and the rhinoceros. For those not conversant with life in the wild, the rhino roams about with an ever-present tickbird perched just behind his neck feasting upon the living smorgasbord found there. The rhino (family court judge) is relieved of the annoying and award task of disposing of the irritating insects (child custody cases) by delegating it to an eager member of another species (the GAL). In return, the bird is well fed (fees, collected with the help of the court’s contempt power) and enjoys a free ride (immunity from screw-ups).

In other words, they serve no function other than to scratch each other’s back, while preying off the backs of hapless litigants and their children (as of today, the total estimated casualties of Nissirios’ that I alone know about have exceeded one hundred fifty persons). Symbiosis is the mutual relationship between judge and GAL; the relationship they have with litigants who come before them is parasitism.

Entomologist E.O. Wilson characterized parasites as “predators that eat prey in units of less than one.” And, unlike predators, parasites typically live off of their hosts for an extended period — such as child custody cases that can drag on for a decade or more. And so if you find yourself getting angry about the oppression and exploitation of Nissirios or the Nissirios/Gallina-Mecca duo, it is only natural that you do!

*This is the eleventh of weekly articles, initially intended to be a short series, but now writing themselves as the horrendous, egregious, loathsome, and lurid actions of Evelyn Nissirios keep coming to light (what can be more monstrous than the torture, maiming, and setting up for murders of innocent children?). As long as the child endangerment continues, there is a duty on all respective parties not to remain silent. Already, there are indications that victims are better arming themselves, and I, as an expert on violence, also have a duty to prevent future violence, since a large proportion of today’s victims will be tomorrow’s perpetrators. More on Nissirios will be revealed in the upcoming book, Judicial Violence: Anatomy of a Family Court Case (the first of two related books).

Beware Family Court Doublethink and Newspeak

“Alienation” — “Reunification” — “Best Interests of the Child”

Consider the most unthinkable, heinous human crime: to torture, maim, and murder innocent children. Then consider this happening day after day, year after year, for decades, all across the country. Not in a single state, or a few states, but all fifty U.S. states. This is, without exaggeration, what is happening through the Family Courts, and it is a big, multi-billion-dollar business.

They get away with it through a perversion of legal mechanisms; the abuse of judicial authority; a public that believes, “It can’t happen here!”; and a cottage industry that has sprawled around the Courts to help claim that up is down, black is white, good is bad, and abuse is the best thing for the child. It is a well-oiled, racketeer-influenced corrupt organizational machine, and everyone is in on it: Child Protective Services, law enforcement, lawyers, schools, and hospitals — because if you are not, there is an entire system in place to shut you up and break you down.

Hence, beware when entering the gates of Family Court, noting that this is not a “court” in the usual sense of the word. If you are the innocent party in a domestic abuse situation, you are about to lose all your Constitutional rights, your children, your assets, your home(s), your profession(s), your reputation, and your dignity — no level of exemplary past behavior, successfuly parenting, or prestigious degrees matters. You will come to experience what life is like in a totalitarian state.

George Orwell’s 1984 is Here — and It Actually Arrived around that Year!

Richard Gardner, a proponent of pedophilia and misogyny who killed himself in 2003 by overdosing on multiple medications, slitting his throat, and stabbing himself twenty-three times with a steak knife, was a child psychiatrist “expert” in great demand in Family Court. Since the 1980’s, he provided a useful strategy against sexual abuse awareness campaigns, which he called a “national hysteria,” and claimed that sexual abuse was exceedingly rare, occurring at a rate of one in two million (the actual rate is closer to one in five, according to the most comprehensive epidemiologic study to date by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC]). Unable to publish with reputable peer-reviewed journals or companies, he self-published more than two hundred articles and more than forty books over four decades, while serving as an expert witness in over four hundred cases on child custody and sexual abuse.

His recommendation was almost always to award custody to the parent accused of the abuse, even in cases where the child vehemently resisted seeing that parent — in fact, all the more so in such cases. None of his theories went through any standard scientific method of research, and by his own admission, his work was all based on personal experience and personal bias. Yet, because of his strategic usefulness, ideas and characteristics that would be denounced as despicable in all other sectors, including other courts, were almost deified in Family Court. Through his ideas, Gardner was singlehandedly able to transform Family Courts into a sanctuary for some of the most violent offenders, who can carry out their fantasy denials of culpability and their toxic pseudo-masculine agendas with full support of “the law.”

But even as Family Courts “fix” the evidence and eliminate whistleblowers, the statistics bear witness to the atrocities: one hundred sixty children per day are sent to their abusers by Family Court; one child is murdered every six days under the watch of Family Court; and countless loving mothers (and fathers) die from grief, suicide, cancer, heart attack, or “broken heart syndrome,” who might still be alive if not for Family Court. Probe into any (ex-)spousal murder, child murder by parent, or murder-suicide, and the likelihood of Family Court involvement is high — since they overwhelmingly create the conditions. Below is how they do it.

Call Any Report of Abuse ‘Alienation’

Child abuse, as we now know, is extremely common but vastly underreported and largely societally denied. For Family Courts, this constitutes an “opportunity”. Once a mother receives the Scarlet Letter of “alienation” (there are actually many variations: since “parental alienation syndrome” failed to enter any diagnostic system, modifications have included “parental alienation,” “alienating behavior,” or any equivalent description — but the purpose is the same), she becomes the lynchpin for decimation.

This pseudo-medical labeling is in truth the front of an abuse industry that switches custody from the nonabusive, custodial parent to the abusive, noncustodial parent, by claiming that a child’s fear or rejection of an abusive parent is from the preferred parent’s “malevolent” influence, rather than from abuse. It is, in truth, nothing more than naked perpetrator psychology of “DARVO” (“Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender”).

Then, Force the Children Go through ‘Reunification’ with Their Abuser

Recent investigations into “reunification” camps such as Family Bridges or Turning Points for Families exposed that, since 2000, Family Court judges sent at least six hundred children to reunification programs that enforced temporary exile from trusted (mostly protective) parents, in order to “reunify” them with rejected (mostly abusive) parents. Thug-like transport agents may seize children by force, without an opportunity to say goodbye to loved ones. While the programs suggested a “no-contact period” of ninety days with the trusted parent, this term was routinely extended to years, according to their extensive investigation. As is well-established in the field of child psychiatry, such abrupt separation from the primary caregiving parent, and extraction from their stable home, is inevitably traumatic. Indeed, it is perhaps one of the most traumatic experiences a child could endure — for even when there is abuse, the presence of trusted primary supports can be mitigating. In the context of the trusted parent being removed, the next most essential component for healing is the ability to tell the truth about what happened, and this is taken away, also. Like the rest of the “alienation” industry, “reunification” programs dubiously assert a “scientific” basis for effectiveness, but a critical review did not show that their evaluations met the scientific standards for admission in the courtroom.

Nevertheless, “reunification” camps persist as the latter stage of Family Courts’ judicial strategy for trafficking children from their safe, nurturing, and protective parent to their dangerous, distrusted, and abusive parent.

According to purpose, “reunification” camps are seldom run by qualified professionals. Randy Rand, who founded Family Bridges, had to abandon his psychology license in 2009 after the California licensing board found several ethical violations. Others exploit loopholes by dubbing themselves “educational” institutions under no licensing board. While court-ordered charges are exorbitant — Family Bridges charges a minimum of 25,000 dollars for the first four days — actual settings are often makeshift hotels or motels in rural areas. An Insider investigation interviewed seventeen youths who had been ordered into these camps, which revealed thoroughly antitherapeutic, “crazy-making” methods: youth likely suffering from abuse were torn from their protective, nurturing parent and taught that their memories were false; that their nurturing parent was harmful; and that the parent they feared and rejected was loving and safe. Many were forced to reconcile with the unsafe parent — who is precisely the reason for which courts were granted the authority to separate children from parents in the first place — not the essential, protective parent necessary for normal growth! Using classic “brainwashing” techniques as described in Robert Jay Lifton’s Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism, participants are typically given no choice or voice, are verbally abused and physically deprived, and are threatened with further punishment if they resisted. Unsurprisingly, participants deteriorate acutely, becoming depressed and suicidal, as several former child participants disclosed. One thirteen-year-old girl got so distressed, that she banged on a hotel wall and screamed for help; others calling the police got her to a psychiatric hospital, but the one thing she cried out for — to see her mother — a court order prohibited. Many others were similarly psychiatrically hospitalized, according to Insider investigations.

Declare that All is for the ‘Best Interests of the Child’

The final, most Orwellian step is to declare all this destruction to be in the “best interests of the child.” That Family Courts are largely doing this deliberately is seen from the aggression with which they shun evidence or due process; the proliferation of “alienation” and “reunification” industries, despite proof of harm; the fact that children must “age out” to escape a system that seldom corrects its errors; and the unwillingness to undertake reform, no matter how much “education” is afforded them.

In this manner, while most of the world had been enjoying newfound freedoms over the decades, such as women’s liberation, greater protection for children, and the triumph of science and reason, a dark world of total control, total destruction of parent-child bonds, total asset liquidation, and total destruction of career and reputation have been effectuated, all in the name of Family Court profit. Of course, the violent predators in the name of which all this is done, only grows more emboldened in violence, becomes more destructive, and hence the increase in child murders, murder-suicides, and — when the children are old enough — patricides.

Even a single such case should have been the scandal of the decade, especially committed by court actors under the direction of a judge, but “court seals” and “gag orders” that extend to threatening the press, allow for the atrocities to continue. Even the one judge I have been writing about has at least a half-dozen murders connected to her that I have heard about, hundreds of sacrificed children, and many hundreds more of lives she has ruined forever. Many of these could be capital crimes in some states, but she, instead, is awarded with being chief judge of Family Court! No more needs to be said about this criminal enterprise.

Family Courts are plague upon the land that urgently needs to be exposed and eliminated if we are to safeguard our future.

Evelyn Nissirios — She Cannot Hide Forever from the Law….

Evelyn Nissirios — She Cannot Hide Forever from the Law….

A Required Reckoning for Society

Yet another report has come in that Evelyn Nissirios, true to her form, sided with the perverted, child predator. There has been no exception: with her help, the predator can imprison his victim under his sole custody, so that loving adults cannot have access but he has complete control over his sexual slave until she turns eighteen. In most cases, these children are too damaged to recover themselves when they “escape” — and turn to suicide, extreme rage, lifelong depression, and pedophilia themselves.

In some states, aggravated rape of a minor under twelve carries the death penalty. Under Nissirios, the rapist wins custody of the child, and Nissirios is handsomely rewarded financially, makes herself a favorite of corrupt Family Court judges, and hides within “ethics committees” and a “board of education.” She even gets to whet her appetite for the pleasure she derives from maximizing the torture of innocent children — a characteristic those who have witnessed her in Family Court uniformly report. Rewards reinforce her practices, and impunity emboldens her without limit. The failure to contain her at every level is as much an indictment of society as it is of Nissirios.

As a forensic psychiatrist, I worked in many maximum-security prisons, and it is often striking how prisoners themselves have a hierarchical distinction of crimes. No matter how heinous your murders, and how gory your acts of mutilation, nothing is as depraved as being a pedophile. Indeed, we often have to separate individuals convicted of child sexual assault from other inmates for their own safety, since they could be killed instantly.

My perception is that these prisoners are responding to their own experiences of helplessness. Predatory pedophiles are clever, calculating criminals who enjoy near-immunity in society, because of the widespread unwillingness to recognize the sharks in our midst. They take great care to cover their tracks, working themselves into positions of trust, and then stalk their prey under near-perfect camouflage — such as that which Nissirios provides. Yet, the consequences of their violence are witnessed in our psychiatric wards, our prisons, and our graveyards.

My reason for agreeing to write this column is to become a voice for these victims, and for all the good — often excellent — parents who had their children stripped from them, to be sold to their torture, rape, and battery.

We cannot turn away from these most vulnerable victims of society.

For every child who has been sacrificed, there may be a half-dozen loving adults whose lives are also completely destroyed, or at least remain only as a shell of their former selves. This means, from just the cases I received of Nissirios’ alone, there are approximately one hundred forty lives she needlessly destroyed — and I am sure this is just the tip of the iceberg.

We cannot allow predators to continue to go unprosecuted.

All of the above lives are destroyed to advantage the one predator Nissirios is protecting for each case, who often misuses this “opportunity” for further self-harm, anyway, such as in murder-suicides. These are individuals who are not well to start, and as is the principle when treating violent offenders — my area of specialty — the last thing you wish to do is to give them what they want.

Ignorance, incompetence, and evil manifest in other ways.

Ignorance and incompetence are already a dangerous combination, but a lack of conscience makes things exponentially worse. With the hidden undercurrent that Nissirios brings, it is of no wonder that the Saddle River community is languishing. Indeed, this column began also for them, at the request of a local official.

Members of the community are not only unhappy from being under Nissirios’ unwanted coercion, for her refusal to leave the Board of Education, despite the community voting her out. They are dismayed at the ignorance, incompetence, and corruption she has allowed to prevail, by keeping out truly competent, well-educated, and caring individuals who have been eager to join the Board — in some cases, so that they can stop the destruction.

This is very similar to what Nissirios does to the children placed in her charge in Family Court: even though the parents are more often than not far superior to her in education, professional achievement, and parenting ability, she pretends to know more when enforcing a path that ensures maximal injury and cruelty to the children. We know her ignorance is willful from the number of highly-credentialed medical reports and professional warnings she rejects, in favor of her uneducated, biased (and probably pathological) opinion. “If you picked anyone blindfolded off the street, they would be a better guardian ad litem!” one parent lamented to me.

“The school has suffered terribly,” according to several members of the community who are grieving the descent of their beloved institution. The Board of Education is occupied through illegitimate appointments (like Nissirios) or through family and other connections — by those who “do not do any work.” According to these sources, it has gone through six Board administrators and four assistant bureaus in three years, because “nobody can work with” the current superintendent. “We have lost good teachers…. Terrible!”

A Board of Education that harbors a serial child predator is likely to have problems to start. A lot is revealed in its refusal to hear about a member’s transgressions — regardless of the evidence or the credentials of those bringing charges — its seeming lack of educational or ethical background to understand these charges, and most disturbingly the characteristics it shares with Nissirios.

*This is the tenth of weekly articles, initially intended to be a short series, but now growing more serious as the Saddle River Board of Education willfully ignores the demands of its community. As long as child abuse is continuing, I have a legally-mandated duty to report. More on Evelyn Nissirios will be revealed and corroborated through evidence in the upcoming book, Judicial Violence: Anatomy of a Family Court Case.

A Child Theft Operation: Will Jane Gallina-Mecca Proceed?

What is Unknown about Family Courts is that They Steal Healthy Children and Sell Them to Their Abuse and Death

Family Courts are given the legal auspices to remove children from parents, because society assumes that they are using this authority for good. When we hear of child murders by parent, or murder-suicides, we understandably assume that these cases “fell through the cracks” amid Family Courts and Child Protective Services (CPS) doing their best. This is the how Family Courts and CPS can keep asking for “more judges” and “more resources” for their failures. What we are not considering is the possibility that Family Courts are actually creating these conditions and knowingly causing many of these deaths — and for every murder, a suicide; for every death, hundreds of serious injuries; and for every visible injury, thousands of inwardly shattered lives.

We as a society are unwilling to consider that Family Courts are overwhelmingly abusing their function to remove healthy children from good parents — often excellent ones — to force them into “slavery” with violent abusers. The excuse is that these violent abusers have rights as “parents” (although the hypocrisy is immediately clear — for what about the rights of the good parents they so abruptly, casually, and brutally violate?).

The majority of children who are killed by murder are killed by a parent. Most of the children who are sexually abused are sexually abused by a parent. The vast majority of child pornography is produced and sold by parents of their own children. And the child sex rings in the United States are supplied by the very abusive parents that Family Courts have trafficked children to, away from their loving parents who might have protected them.

Most of the public does not know that we are sending our most precious resources — our children — to what is referred to as “the sewer” of the judicial system. Not all Family Courts are cesspools, and not all Family Court judges are miscreant, but it bears noting that within the court system exists a “Court” that does not follow the law, that harbors organized crime cartels, and that hides its own heinous crimes against humanity.

Children overwhelmingly describe a “life of hell” after Family Courts have trafficked them to their torture, rape, and battery — sometimes after being forced into “reunification camps,” which employ the old, Chinese Communist brainwashing techniques that not even the Chinese use anymore. And this is what these Orwellian Courts claim is in “the best interests of the child.”

It is a system where would-be whistleblowers are persecuted, discredited, and disbarred, where honest judges quit, and where an entrenched culture ousts those who do not “go along to get along.” One can tell who “the worst” judges are by their promotion to chief judge of Family Court — as has happened with Jane Gallina-Mecca. It is no secret who has “sold” the most children, who brings in the biggest revenue, and who is the most corrupt.

Society’s inability and unwillingness to consider that this could be possible within an entity called “Family Court” is the reason it goes on. It is estimated that up to 20 percent of child murders by parent might be eliminated if we abolished Family Courts. A comparable number of child suicides may also be prevented. With one to 1.5 million children experiencing the divorce of their parents each year, and a conservative estimate of 58,000 children being sent to their abusers, we might eradicate a scourge that is almost three times the rate of childhood cancers.

That this was no accident but a well-oiled profiteering machine was evident to me as soon as my brother-in-law filed for divorce. He, the substance-abusing, pornography-addicted, and womanizing absentee father, suddenly became the “fit” parent, and the mother, who once had top security clearance for a government job, suddenly became “mentally ill” — in true Soviet style — and unable to have even one minute with her children. None of this would make any sense, unless it were part of a child theft operation — and it is.

Psychologically “breaking” the good parent is a commonly-pursued goal of the Family Courts, so as to retroactively justify their taking the children. Bringing in gangster-style human rights violations to middle- and upper-class families that never even imagined such violence helps ensure severe enough trauma to incapacitate them from speaking about what happened.

Yet, Gallina-Mecca misjudged my sister to be an easy target. Though mild-mannered and tight-lipped, having served as the New York State governor’s Ground Zero coordinator in the aftermath of the greatest terrorist attack on U.S. soil — 9/11 — she has steely determination. She was giving speeches, after all, before thousands of First Responders on the importance of safeguarding their mental health, when she was just in her twenties.

An alternative is to psychologically “break” the children. Isolating children with their violent abuser, while separating them from all loving adults, is a surefire formula for “Stockholm syndrome” — wherein victims ally themselves with their aggressor, so that they can psychically survive. With vulnerable children, this is only a matter of time, and thus many divorces drag on for more than a decade. This seems to be why Gallina-Mecca periodically interviews her child victims — all at once, assembly-line style — in stark contrast to her extreme suppression of their voices at all other times. She can test if they have been “broken” enough for their words to be used against them — since their saying they “prefer” their abuser is also useful as retroactive justification for having taken them.

The third psychological factor Family Courts evidently rely on and exploit is perpetrator psychology. Abusers are too myopic to notice that they are being “fleeced”, and having eagerly allied themselves with their likeminded, criminal operatives in Family Court, they cannot pull out, either, for then they will face proper prosecution. My brother-in-law is in this position — having sold his soul to Family Court, he is beholden to paying hundreds of thousands of dollars with no end in sight, getting nothing in return but the destruction of his family.

Yet, without a semblance of justification, Gallina-Mecca cannot make a ruling in my sister’s case. To call her “mentally ill” would be ludicrous by any objective standard. A default was entered in August 2022 for my sister’s imputed refusal of a “psychiatric evaluation” (the truth is, Evelyn Nissirios, charged with finding a compromised psychiatrist, in the end could not find one). Yet, ten highly-credentialed psychiatrists and doctorate psychologists submitted their reports, some up to 100 pages long, that the mother did not need another psychiatric evaluation.

A trial date was set for July 2023, already extremely delayed, and then postponed to August, September, October, and November 2023, and then January 2024. It still did not happen — and now the latest schedule is May 2024. The judge seems to be scrambling for some justification — she tried, for example, to accuse my sister of “absconding” with the children after assigning that weekend for her to be with them. She tried to incarcerate my sister for breaking a gag order, but all the information I have on her case is not from her (I even know more than she through independent investigations, not to mention comparison with multiple other, cookie-cutter Gallina-Mecca cases). She tried to incriminate my sister for articles I wrote, but my sister has nothing to do with my articles. Instead, I have direct witness of each of the following players who are involved:

‘Child Therapist’ Barbara Maurer

When Family Court mandated her to be the children’s “therapist”, Maurer knew she could charge exorbitantly without any accountability. Her only task was to make the abusive parent “good” and the good parent “bad”, and to cover up any signs of abuse. Despite not performing anything resembling therapy, which the mother recognized, she would baldly refuse to answer the mother, whereas every message from the father she answered within minutes. The children, who became more suicidal after each visit, finally refused her “therapy”. In response, she locked them in her office and traumatized them, which caused her licensing board to force her to recuse herself — only for Family Court to mandate another children’s “therapist”, this time while concealing the identity of the new “therapist”.

‘Guardian ad litem’ Evelyn Nissirios

As the “children’s” guardian ad litem in Family Court, Nissirios’ one task is to work for “the best interests” of the child predator. In order to do so, she has had to perjure herself 300 documented times. A few months after the father was on a restraining order for almost crushing the skull of his seven-year-old and almost having killed his daughter as an infant, he tried to abscond with the children, having stolen their passports and secretly crossing state lines to take them to a resort hours away from home. This was in direct violation of court directives, and he was caught only because the terrified children called their maternal grandfather. None of this bothered Nissirios, but when the mother picked up her children slightly early on her own assigned weekend — partly because they were distressed and suicidal from the prior, terrifying weekend with their unstable father — she descended on the mother like a hawk, lest she miss a critical “opportunity”. She immediately coordinated with the father to make a false police report, scheduled an emergency ex-parte hearing while keeping both the mother and her attorney in the dark, and orchestrated an ambush raid by five police officers, who would then forcibly tear the crying and clinging children from their mother for her trying to “abscond” with them — when the mother never dreamed of such a thing, was in complete compliance with court directives, on her legitimate weekend with her children, which Nissirios herself scheduled. Nissirios’ plans to arrest the mother foiled when the police immediately dropped the charges upon learning of her lies — but this “error” had always been the plan, proven by the fact that, for two and a half years since, Nissirios has not permitted the mother even one minute with her children.

‘Judge’ Jane Gallina-Mecca

That a Family Court “judge” is the mastermind of this child theft operation is seen from Gallina-Mecca’s extreme control of the narrative. How she has aggressively taken down articles and falsely arrested medical professionals based on secret orders she cannot show anyone has been written about elsewhere. Herself an archetypal sadist, she “mentors” Nissirios on heaping one human rights violation after another to hide their own, staggering criminality. She also endlessly appoints needless court actors to muddy the picture and to parrot her made-up story, while remaining on the payroll. This includes a guardian ad litem for the mother, Linda Schofel — since the psychopathic father’s fantasy fulfillment includes that his wife be “mentally ill.” While throwing out reports from nine psychiatric experts of national and international renown, stating that the mother has “excellent mental health,” Gallina-Mecca incessantly elevated an unlicensed and unqualified “associate counselor,” Tara Devine, because of her willingness to say otherwise. Pediatrician Karen Wu is another player Gallina-Mecca recruited for her willingness to retract her statement about the children’s abuse and to falsify her medical records to match.

The Father

A corporate lawyer and student of Alan Dershowitz, this father has dragged down a healthy, happy, and highly-respected family of multiple generations of successful doctorate professionals to his level of darkness, criminality, and violence through the Family Courts. In the absence of Family Court, he was reasonably contained, despite twelve years of domestic violence, and the children were protected. But the happiness and love everyone shared was incomprehensible to a duly-diagnosed psychopath, and jealousy and revenge (for the childhood he never had) overcame him. Instead of setting limits on such a sick individual, Family Court promised him unlimited power. But holding his children hostage and forcing them to say he is a “good” parent has not made them love him. Attempting to murder his wife six times, twice with the help of Gallina-Mecca and Nissirios (several murders are already connected to Gallina-Mecca), does not erase what makes a “good” parent. By raising unrealistic expectations, Family Courts only worsen the dynamic that can lead to family massacres where a man, because his wife threatened to leave him, kills his children, kills his wife, and then kills himself, thinking: “That’ll show them I am somebody!” In my brother-in-law’s case, it was not even his wife’s threatening to leave him but “stopping to praise” him that unleashed his vengeance against his family.

*The father will be named in my upcoming book, The Dangerous Case of Family Courts, where several other accomplices in child endangerment, such as a school principal and a police officer, will also be named. Additionally, there will be a documentary and a television series to expose the bad actors that Family Court buttressed for its own profit.

Evelyn Nissirios — She Cannot Forever Escape Accountability….

Evelyn Nissirios — She Cannot Forever Escape Accountability….

Will the New Jersey Supreme Court Judicial Review Board Reschedule Her Appearance?

Evelyn Nissirios was required to go before the New Jersey Supreme Court Judicial Review Board on February 13, 2024, I am told, in part because of my articles. However, I am still waiting to be contacted, and still have not presented the evidence. Incidentally, the date of her required appearance happened on a day of court closure because of a snowstorm, and so it would be interesting to see if it is rescheduled. The Supreme Court may have little interest other than to show that it “did something” to address the problem. Judicial review boards overwhelmingly protect their own, often serving as little more than a “rubber stamping” of their colleagues’ abuses. Without citizen scrutiny, they seldom do their job, as seen with the Office of Attorney Ethics.

Professors at Harvard Law School told me that public pressure may be the only way to force Family Courts, the “organized crime” arm of the judiciary, to veer from their profit-driven practice of sending abused children from good parents to their abusers. Nissirios’ exclusive involvement in these Courts, which nationally increase parental murders of children by up to 25 percent, could be a telling sign of her modus operandi.

Having specialized in evaluating and treating the most violent individuals our society produces, I recognized Nissirios from the start. The most dangerous perpetrators are often the last to be caught because of public misconceptions of how criminal offenders look and behave. They are often exceptionally charming or even elicit sympathy — it is a skill they have learned to hone, in order to mask their brutality and to get their way.

One way to detect them is how, far from their self-portrayals as “victims”, they will over-defend themselves. When Nissirios first saw me in at the Saddle River Board of Education meeting on February 7, 2024, she immediately made a phone call, and her husband appeared, others told me, for the first time at these meetings. It recalls of her positioning and posturing with not one but always with two lawyers, when self-represented litigants sue her in court — representing themselves because Nissirios has financially decimated them — and yet she is prepared to “hit back ten times harder,” mobilizing all her force as a lawyer armed with two additional lawyers. In one case, she slapped on a 27,000-dollar fine for even daring to sue her. In this manner, she operates through overpowering and intimidation.

In her “ordinary job” of maximizing harm and trauma to children, to make the parent trying to protect the children appear guilty, Nissirios perjures incessantly in court, files false police reports, orchestrates false arrests, ambushes with police raids, and incarcerates without due process. All these theatrics are to hide her lack of legitimacy.

The Saddle River Board of Education, as it turns out, is similarly guarded. “You don’t get anything out of these people. What are they hiding?” asked one community member. And here is my recent communication, which has equally gone unanswered:

February 12, 2024

Dear Ms. Kaufman:

As the new president of the Board, I am hoping that you will be able to answer the serious and enduring concerns I have expressed regarding my mandated report of child abuse by one of the Saddle River Board of Education members. As you can see below, Mr. Jon Peros never answered the series of communications I attempted since approximately a year ago. However, most of the members currently on the Board, including yourself, Ms. Elizabeth Salazer, Ms. Yasmin Elshami, Ms. Evelyn Nissirios [herself], Ms. Kaitlyn Lawler, and Dr. Gina Cinotti — indeed, everyone but one — were all copied on those emails.

As you know, I asked specifically at the Wednesday, February 7, 2024, meeting: “How would I have to make my request so that there is a response, whether it be an investigation or some kind of intervention? What would I need to do?” This was the only question for which I traveled to Saddle River from New York City, to attend the meeting at the request of several community members. Despite a promise to answer all questions at the end, you offered no answer to my question; in fact, it was completely ignored. This, despite the fact that another physician followed immediately after me, and said: “I have no idea what she is talking about, but as a Board, you are obligated to give answers to that…. I expect an answer, and so does the community.”

I am hoping that you will not continue to ignore my question, since, as I expressed at the meeting, this concerns serious, serial, extreme child abuse of the severest order, of more than a dozen children that I know of in detail. I have over 1000 pages of medical evidence on one case alone. Attached is a report by a world expert on torture, consultant to the United Nations, the International Criminal Court, and the U.S. Supreme Court, who confirmed torture in a case where Ms. Evelyn Nissirios is the principal state actor.

I am hoping finally to receive an answer to the question I posed to you on Wednesday, for child abuse of such magnitude must be a primary concern for a Board of Education, which you cannot simply overlook or delegate to other authorities.

Sincerely,

Bandy X. Lee, M.D., M.Div.

Forensic Psychiatrist and Violence Expert; Co-founder, Violence Prevention Institute; President, World Mental Health Coalition; Author of Textbook, Violence

*This is the ninth of weekly articles, initially intended to be a short series, on the information I have been asked to provide the Saddle River community. As long as child abuse is continuing, I have a legally-mandated duty to report (and as long as there is impunity, perpetrators will continue, if not intensify). More on Evelyn Nissirios will be revealed and corroborated through evidence in the upcoming book, Judicial Violence: Anatomy of a Family Court Case. Those who have additional information to share can reach me here. Thank you!

Evelyn Nissirios — Serial Child Torturer Stays on School Board

Evelyn Nissirios — Serial Child Torturer Stays on School Board

‘Mentally Ill, Incompetent, and Evil’

The Saddle River School Board has still not responded to my legally-mandated report of child abuse by one of its members. I made about a half-dozen attempts at communication, copying both the current Board president and the District superintendent, beginning in February 2023.

First, I qualify that I am a forensic psychiatrist and expert witness for the courts with twenty-five years of experience. I have consulted with the World Health Organization and coauthored the United Nations Secretary-General’s chapter on “Violence against Children.” In addition to specializing in treating violent offenders, I have advised policymakers on prison reform and community violence prevention. But as a physician, I am a mandated reporter of child abuse.

Evelyn Nissirios has a playbook: whenever there is proof of child abuse, she quickly tears the children from their primary, good parent; gives them to their abuser; blocks all contact with the good parent and tells the children that parent “abandoned” them; and then “fixes” the results with Child Protective Services and Family Court, so that the abuser is the “innocent victim,” deserving to have full custody of the children. This is her identical tactic for transferring dozens of healthy children to their abuse. The abuser, who is usually also the moneyed spouse, not only escapes prosecution but profits from this arrangement — even demands exorbitant “child support” — which helps pay Nissirios. Each child, consigned to battery or sexual slavery without the primary supportive parent, is maximally predisposed to lifelong psychological and physical damage and premature death by decades, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Nissirios has threatened to hurt these children further if the good parents spoke up — which is why these parents have contacted me under strict confidentiality. New victims keep reaching out, even today. “Before I read all your articles, I thought it was just me,” they uniformly say. They alternatingly describe her as “mentally ill” and “incompetent”, but almost always “evil”, for her obvious sadistic delight in causing suffering.

What does it mean for sadism and cruelty to come up repeatedly in relation to Nissirios? Finally, one of her former employers has made a request for me to evaluate her, in the context of charging her with financial fraud. I have only begun my investigation, and will need a court order to attempt a personal interview (which most refuse, but a “reasonable effort” must be made). Nevertheless, observations count, as at the Saddle River School Board meeting on February 7, 2024, which I attended at the request of several community members.

A professional assessment is important, since one of the most dangerous and destructive conditions known to psychiatry carries a “mask of sanity,” as psychiatrist Hervey Cleckley dubbed. They can even be exceptionally charismatic and manipulative, able to turn others into their “patrons and pawns,” as psychologist Robert Hare described. Masters at conning, they present as themselves as competent, despite their disorder being more debilitating than almost any other: a lack of conscience is unrestorable. Nevertheless, knowing right from wrong, they are the essence of “evil”.

Nissirios’ command of the School Board was evident that evening, as the Board president looked at her 85 percent of time, even when addressing the public, as if seeking her validation. Nissirios’ obvious affinity with another Board member suggested a loyalty that would supercede the good of the community, anytime. Again, the School Board seemed to reflect her personality, when it added more draconian requirements for the public, such as the need to speak at a podium, even as the Board further eliminated formal obligations for itself. When a community member complained of something not being done, the Board resorted to praising the responsible member as “wearing many hats,” rather than addressing the incompetence.

I voiced my inquiry: “I have expressed very deep concerns about a member on this Board who has engaged in extreme acts of child abuse, both in number as well as in severity, since almost a year ago. It is deeply disturbing to me that this member is still on the Board. My question to you is, how would I have to make my request so that there is a response, whether it be an investigation or some kind of intervention? What would I need to do?” The Board president’s response was: “Is that the end of your question?”

Nissirios did not flinch, even smirked and giggled. The aftermath was even stranger. First, a brave physician stepped up after me and stated: “I have no idea what she is talking about, but as a Board, you are obligated to give answers to that. I can tell you as a physician, I have the same obligations…. I expect an answer, and so does the community.” The Board president’s robotic response was, again: “Next, any questions?”

An obvious friend of the Board then came up, bringing up niceties and compliments, in a surreal attempt to distract from the topic, so that the Board could pretend nothing had happened. In the end, despite the Board president’s promise to answer all questions, my inquiry was disregarded, as if it did not exist.

As community members gathered around me at the end, questioning me about my bombshell announcement, the Board frantically went into conference in a back room. This is not the behavior of a Board serving a community, but one protecting its power against the community — as someone once said of this Board — “like a dictatorship!”

*This is the eighth of weekly articles, initially intended to be a short series, on the information I have been asked to provide the Saddle River community. This material may be difficult to read, but nothing can be worse than the continued destruction of lives — and this article is published for the Board of Education’s continued lack of response for over a week, despite my reaching out again privately. More on Evelyn Nissirios will be revealed and evidentially corroborated in the upcoming book, Judicial Violence: Anatomy of a Family Court Case. Those who have additional information to share can reach me here. Thank you!

Judges Looking to Expand Authority in Washington State

Family Court Judges’ Attempt to Influence Legislation Defeated (for Now)

A couple months ago, I gave the following testimony to the Washington State legislature:

My name is Bandy Lee, and I would like to express my strong opposition to H.B. 2237 and S.B. 5205, which will make the crisis situation in our family courts deadlier…. Giving family courts further legal ammunition could prove catastrophic.

In Washington State, the Superior Court Judges Association (“SCJA”) is proposing significant changes to … the most important statute governing parenting plan decisions in cases involving physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. House Bill 2237 adopts this proposal, and the companion bill, Senate Bill 5205, retains the original version proposed by SCJA that eviscerates the existing statute and case law protections for survivors of domestic violence seeking relief in family court. It does so by creating even more room for judges to remove children from their protective, non-abuser parent, and for the first time in decades, by allowing perpetrators of domestic violence to share decision-making with their victims. It makes it lawful for family court judges to remove children from non-abuser parents with mental health diagnoses such as anxiety or posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which are common consequences of being a victim of violence.

Family Violence Appellate Project,[1] a leader in creating protections in case law for domestic violence survivors in family law, recently published a memo and line-by-line interpretation of the inherent dangers of this abuser-friendly proposal. For the protection of endangered children and their loving parents, and to prevent further family court-related deaths, H.B. 2237 and S.B. 5205 should not pass.

As legislatures are catching onto judicial abuses in the Family Courts, judges are now aggressively lobbying to pass laws that would make their power even more untouchable. Thanks to the heroic efforts of activists, “the Predator Bill” did not pass, against the attorney general, the WA State majority leader, and the Superior Court Judges Association. Unfortunately, like anyone who goes against this 50-billion-dollars-a-year industry that is always looking to expand its racketeering operation, the senators and representatives who opposed the legislation are being targeted in a smear campaign. The sheer aggression with which anyone trying to place limits are targeted, discredited, and attacked gives away the magnitude and degree of criminality that lies behind this “abuse industry.”

Criminal Courts vs. Family Courts

Hidden within the judicial system, few would believe that something presented as a “Court” is not a court of law but one of anti-law, and one that does not counter but commits crimes. Most people imagine something like the criminal courts, which reflect, more or less, our constitutional and democratic protections. However, there are extreme differences:

With all the problems that criminal courts have, usually racism, criminal courts have structured procedure you can hold them to. Violence is a serious offense and treated as such. The defendant is given a defense attorney who does his job of defending the accused, but the prosecutor also plays her role of presenting potentially incriminating evidence, and there is a jury of peers to hear the facts of the case and to serve as an additional check and balance.

Family Courts have an informal process that almost diametrically opposes criminal courts. What largely flourishes in Family Courts is not racism but sexism, which runs so unchecked as to become a massacre of women — and by extension their children — as I have written about. Far from having a structured process, just about “anything goes” in Family Court. Violence, rather than being taken seriously, is treated as nonexistent in a seeming fantasy notion of “ideal family.” Attorneys from both sides hardly have a role outside of facilitating predetermined judgments, and if they veer outside this task — such as truly defend their client — they risk being sanctioned or disbarred. This is because no one goes against the judge, who reigns supreme in her private fiefdom, in which no jury or public is allowed, where everything is kept under tight “seal”, while whistleblowers are persecuted and reporters punished for doing normal reporting.

In criminal courts, expert witnesses such as myself may be hired to do an evaluation of more nuanced areas that can be presented as evidence, which is examined and cross-examined. The better qualified I am, the more likely the court is to admit me for this task. Fact witnesses are also allowed. Defendant are given a trial within a reasonable timeframe if they refuse to settle — not years or decades — and judgments are made on evidence that rise to a standard of “beyond a reasonable doubt.”

In Family Courts, sound evidence is seldom allowed and in many cases blocked, while specious “evidence” that bolsters the judge’s preferred narrative is elevated, including “experts” with questionable qualifications. In Family Court, the better qualified and more independent I am, the less likely the court will admit me as an expert witness, and inconvenient fact witnesses are blocked, also. Instead, hearsay and perjury prevail, as long as the judge likes what he hears, and even the lower burden of proof, “preponderance of the evidence,” is almost never met.

In criminal courts, the judge is more or less a person beholden to impartiality in charge of the trial, who ensures that the process is conducted fairly and who prevents spurious “evidence” from entering into the case. Counter-claims such as “parental alienation” seldom succeed, as prosecutors and judges are well-versed in criminal psychology and in the typical attempts by perpetrators to deflect charges or to “frame” others. And if the process still fails, there are the courtroom observers from the public or the media, and decisions can be appealed.

In Family Courts, the judge is beholden to no impartiality and has often decided in advance which side to favor, typically based on biases for the male gender or the larger purse — and female judges do not deviate from this rule, either, as they had to be “more male than the men” to have gotten to their positions. And pseudo-theories such as “parental alienation,” rejected across scientific communities and in criminal courts, flourish in Family Courts. Also, whereas criminal court cases end when a trial has concluded, Family Court cases persist almost indefinitely, needlessly muddying previously clear-cut cases and complicating already delicate issues, so that an outsider would not be able to decipher the truth — and this seems to be the purpose. Finally, because of the near-unlimited “judicial discretion,” appeals are seldom possible, let alone successful.

Family Courts are not only a travesty of justice, they are places where criminals are made innocent and innocent people are criminalized. They order children to their abuse at over twice the rate of childhood cancers, and child murders by parent might fall by up to 20 percent, should Family Courts be abolished — and that is without counting the death rates of mothers, which are newly, astonishingly coming to light.

Evelyn Nissirios — Are Some Attorney Ethics Violations Too Horrific to Handle?

Evelyn Nissirios — Are Some Attorney Ethics Violations Too Horrific to Handle?

Child Abduction, Child Abuse, and Violations of the United Nations Convention against Torture are Not Issues the Office of Attorney Ethics will Investigate

The Saddle River School Board, in refusing to investigate Evelyn Nissirios’ endangerment of children, may falsely conclude that, since no ethics committee report of violations exists, she must be safe. However, there is another explanation: her violations are too horrific for ethics committees to handle.

The New Jersey Office of Attorney Ethics web site reads like an idyllic fantasyland where the reasons a case “might not be accepted” only include: “[i]f the facts of the case do not constitute unethical conduct”; consist of “fee disputes”; or are being handled through “civil or criminal litigation.”

It does not reflect the reality of how tens of thousands of children are being sent to their torture, rape, and battery every year in the United States, such that Family Courts are involved in a child murder every six days. And “guardians ad litem” with strong stomachs, such as Evelyn Nissirios, play an indispensable role.

These matters are not possible to litigate in civil or criminal court, since the Family Courts perpetrating these atrocities legally “fix” the cases. Nissirios herself has boasted of her “absolute judicial immunity,” for “conduct which is corrupt, malicious or intended to do injury.” Such unbridled absence of ethics has translated into Family Courts becoming “Children’s Auctionhouses,” selling each child to the highest bidder, to rake in revenues that are conservatively estimated at 50 billion dollars per year.

Abusers are the ones willing to pay the most, since the alternative is felony conviction. As an added benefit, loving parents (usually mothers) would give anything to save their children, and therefore the money flows both ways for issuing wrong rulings. Therefore, those who seem to be simultaneously “mentally ill,” “incompetent”, and “evil” — as Nissirios’ victims have described her — are especially suited to the task of allying and collaborating with perpetrators of child abuse. Indeed, Nissirios has been depicted as deriving excessive pleasure from her torture of children.

These are the cases that the Office of Attorney Ethics simply refuses to investigate, giving spurious reasons that have nothing to do with its stated exclusion criteria. This also parallels how odd judicial proceedings in the U.S. have become: some suits with no discernible legal merit get right up to the Supreme Court, while others with merit — especially those that are inconvenient — are disposed of with a wave of the hand.

No doubt, if the Office began to investigate the true extent of the destruction, it would be overwhelmed; the cases connected to Nissirios that are known to me alone already involve dozens of child casualties. And if the Office investigated and then exonerated these cases, what kind of scandal would it be, that such carnage is condoned? Therefore, it simply refuses to look (even if this perpetuates the pillage).

Below is a complaint that has been rejected without an investigation, even though the complainant listed the specific Rules of Professional Conduct Nissirios violated, and had over one thousand pages of medical and other documentary evidence to back up the claim:

[To the Ethics Committee:]

[B]elow are the specific violations I am citing under the New Jersey Rules of Professional Conduct (RPCs) for attorneys:

Ms. Nissirios, as guardian ad litem, has engaged in specific instances of professional misconduct. Below are the specific RPCs that I am accusing her of violating, along with brief reasons for each:

1. Violation of RPC 1.1 (Competence): Ms. Nissirios has engaged in mulitple actions that suggest a lack of competence, as required in her guardian ad litem role. For example, she failed to properly assess and consider significant medical and psychiatric reports, which is essential for making informed decisions in the best interest of the children she was appointed to protect. This includes ignoring or downplaying reports of psychopathy diagnoses, evidence of physical abuse, and signs of the children’s deteriorating mental and physical health.

2. Violation of RPC 1.3 (Diligence): Ms. Nissirios has shown a lack of diligence in pursuing the best interests of the children. For example, she ignored evidence of harm and abuse, including medical reports, psychiatric evaluations, and direct pleas from the children. This lack of action and apparent disregard for the children’s welfare are evidence of a failure to perform her duties with the diligence that the role demands.

3. Violation of RPC 1.4 (Communication): Ms. Nissirios failed to communicate effectively and adequately with her clients — the children. She did not represent the children’s interests and voices accurately and has failed to relay critical information to the court, thereby failing in her duty to ensure that the children’s perspectives and needs were appropriately communicated and considered in the legal process.

4. Violation of RPC 3.3 (Candor Toward the Tribunal): Ms. Nissirios has knowingly made numerous false statements to the court. This is a serious violation of her duty of candor toward the tribunal. She has lied about the children’s well-being, the risk posed by their father, and the nature of evidence such as a suicide note.

5. Violation of RPC 8.4 (Misconduct): Ms. Nissirios’ cumulative violations constitute misconduct under RPC 8.4. This rule prohibits actions that are prejudicial to the administration of justice or that involve dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation. There has been a pattern of behavior that could be seen as prejudicial to the administration of justice, including the suppression of evidence, misrepresentation of facts to the court, and potential collusion with one of the parties involved in the case.

*This is the seventh of weekly articles devoted to the information I have been asked to provide the Saddle River community about a controversial member on its School Board. I acknowledge that this piece may be difficult to read, but each statement is backed up by evidence. Evelyn Nissirios is also a central figure in the upcoming book, Judicial Violence: Anatomy of a Family Court Case — which includes some of the evidence that she suppressed from court records.

‘Mentally Ill, Incompetent, and Evil’

“You were one of the first writers we were able to find who understands family court dynamics as a machine that profits from mass torture. Thank you for your bravery and your service.”

These are extremely concerning traits in a guardian ad litem and a member of a school board. Yet, this is how experts and students of mental health are describing Evelyn Nissirios. I personally describe her as dangerous, and this is why I feel the need to warn the public.

“The more voices are heard against her, the better will be the chances to stop her.”

“Before I read all your articles, I thought it was just me.”

“Every one believes it is just them, but put all the victims together, and there is a consistent pattern. This is what I am recording.”

“It is like an endless loop, and there is no way out.”
