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.

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?
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.”
[image error]Family Courts are the New Holocaust
I Cannot Publish All Letters that Come to Me — but This One Illustrates Why, like Germans under Nazism, Average Citizens are Unaware of Family Court Atrocities
Dear [U.K. Member of Parliament],
You may know that the following is an issue in family courts throughout almost all Western countries, where there have been protests, suicides, etc., for a long time with estimated millions of victims (several judges in the U.S. are in prison for taking about $50,000 cash per child custody from abusers, but generally investigations are not allowed regardless of evidence there, either)….
In my case that started 20 years ago after horrific abuse, there were over 100+ pieces of perjury over the years, some done by the judges and many by the CAFCASS [CPS in the U.S.] officer, likely corruption, like my abuser had always threatened he’d do as he had money. The amount of perjury was one of the worst ever seen in family court, many lawyers have told me, even a couple of judges….
I tried for many years to get justice, and all the judges closed ranks and told me to shut up or I may never see my now depressed young child again. It was torture, literally torture. Even Mark Potter, then Family Court President, saw me and admitted serious irregularities but said, “We are human, but you have to accept that we make mistakes and stop trying to expose it, or we can ban all contact with your son,” knowing that my young child was going from hand to hand while the father lived abroad!
I was all alone, terrified, and knew [the] only path forward was to die, as they had destroyed me in every way. I then had two children on my own, as I was too scarred to date but continued to fight for justice and my elder child, and the money I, we, were entitled to and that had been stolen from us while living in poverty.
The main judge who rubberstamped all the criminality told me he’d take my two young children into care, if I didn’t stop trying to expose him!
As for the stolen divorce settlement, many judges serially told me, “It happened, and so what?” Years of my being sadistically abused was again considered to be nothing, and I was told to accept it or would face severe consequences. It was literally like a cartel of criminals.
Then, after being kicked around by so many of them, intimidated, threatened, abused, my children abused, one district judge said he was beyond shocked by the case and the level of improprieties throughout and apologized on “my colleagues’ behalf” (two more lower judges also tried to intervene, saying that it was shocking what was being done to us, but senior judges always overrode them). He sent me to the police with the file, as it was all a criminal matter that warranted prosecution.
A detective read it and was gobsmacked himself, admitted all was a criminal matter, but “senior judges are involved, and they deliberately overlooked tons of perjury and staged so that that devious man win…. The district judge who sent you here is below them, and those senior judges who staged the case are even above the police. So, we will do nothing.” They were too scared, but I think the police failed my children and me by not acting on the action of that amazing judge….
I have never been allowed to even know the name of the barrister who stole my livelihood and forced me to sign off so much that I was entitled to, that used the social security [also Title IV Federal Funds in the U.S.] to basically pay for the abuser’s comfortable lifestyle, which is also illegal, while we suffered and struggled….
Now that my children are older, I have returned the matter to court myself, and a judge has thrown it out of court as it is years out of time. But I’d explained what they did to me when I was “in time,” for many years — threatened me very aggressively. Such nefarious criminality should have no deadline, just like so many historical abuses that we see in the media.
But this judge “accidentally” mentioned [the name of that barrister who] aggressively paced up and down the consulting room shouting at me to accept that I had no right to any of the money my abuser had earned during our marriages (large golden handshake, large bonuses, house sale private pension, etc…), as I had lost child custody,… again I believe due to corruption, though I was praised as a mother to the sky, even by the judge who gave the abuser custody….
I have written to the current Justice minister, who told me to take the matter back to court. But how, when they kicked me about for many years and now everyone is terrified to act, plus it is “out of time”….
Huge numbers of lives have been destroyed, children’s too, children pushed into poverty due to almost certain wide-spread corruption (according to many), domestic abuse victims re-abused and deprived of an education, the worst and the most immoral of parents, mothers and fathers, rewarded and encouraged to keep on abusing/conning more people, perjury treated as a virtue and serially committed by many of them on one case as it is “free for all,” children stolen from, deprived of hobbies, holidays, a lifestyle they are legally entitled to, foreign parents discriminated against and treated worse than animals. The fact that that institution has been on an illegal rampage for decades is truly shocking. I know that there are many lawyers, even judges, who want to have a voice about what they have been witnessing. I have spoken to many myself. Some even left their jobs, as “I believe in God and cannot be part of something like this any more.”
Many of us with older cases have noticed that the lawyers and judges who abused us the most, were dishonest, abusive, who didn’t care about the children, are now top judges, while those few who were shocked and tried to do something to rectify the injustice are still district judges….
This has been going on for over 50 years, and forever will, if something drastic is not done. I still see suicidal people who cannot stop the huge amount of perjury on their cases on the support forum. Life is so cheap. This has been going on as most MP’s [Members of Parliament] keep quiet as they do not seem to care challenge abusers of power despite 120+ MP’s and 80+ family lawyers and Victims commissioners, as well dozens of charities, academics, and journalists over the years demanding an inquiry in an open letter years ago, when Theresa May declined it….
The fact that the police are too scared to act on serious criminality (I have contacted top police chiefs, too, regarding my case and never got a reply) is truly sickening, despite the police in the stations across the country telling us regularly that they are inundated with family court victims bringing them perjury evidence. As you as an MP know, MP’s are also inundated with the same cases and have been for decades, yet the criminality circumnavigating all international laws and those of basic personal decency continue.
I have asked Baroness Falkner, Chair of Human Rights, for an independent inquiry, stating my case and mentioning many others similar ones. Tens of thousands like mine and thousands of resulting suicides. She started to scrape excuses, that her department was short of money…. Then I wrote an open letter/reply to her and sent it to many in the media. Have any of them contacted her? She needs to know that people are watching, albeit scared….
Thank you for caring for us and trying to help us get a breakthrough.
Regards,
[Name Redacted]
Here is my open letter:
Dear Baroness Falkner,
As the Chair of Equality and Human Rights of Britain, what do you think about the denial of an independent inquiry of family courts that was asked for by 123 MPs, 80+ lawyers and academics, a few journalists and hundreds of thousands of victims, including the families of those who have committed suicide as a result within the last 30+ years?
It is an open secret that those “courts” have been sadistically abusing their power over people and habitually and gratuitously breaching human and children’s rights to the point of complete life destruction.
Let me list a few out of many recurrent crimes perpetrated within those quasi courts: total bias towards a chosen party, often a promiscuous and negligent parent, but in some cases a batterer, convicted criminal, or even a paedophile; overt xenophobia and even racism where foreign parents married to British sociopaths are stripped of all dignity, rights, and worth before losing custody of their children, followed by deprivation of all the entitled-to matrimonial assets, likely due to corruption; battered mothers being thrown out on the dole, while the perpetrator gets all the matrimonial money, meaning that the social security is used by some in those so-called courts to fund the lifestyles of abusers and crooks and in some cases allegedly cover for the bribes taken, according to many victims; perjury treated as normal if perpetrated by court staff (fellow judges, CAFCASS officers, social workers, lawyers) and the pet parents — in some cases 30, 50, and over 100 pieces of perjury deliberately ignored, both by the initial set of judges and later in all the consequent tries of the victims to get justice; victims who fiercely seek justice that they are entitled to both according to national and international laws, and try to expose the crimes against them and their children get intimidated, threatened with never seeing their children again, and abused ceaselessly by the judges who obsessively close rank at the cost of all dignity, professionalism, and victims’ lives and livelihoods; corruption by monied abusers who obtain child custody, often by staging dangerous incidents that include young children to win, has been rumoured to be happening for decades; child rapists and fathers who severely abused and neglected their families are given full or 50–50% custody to avoid paying child support to their victims, devaluing marriage, children, and justice as parenthood starts at conception and not in court like fathers’ rights groups demand for their own selfish benefits; children have been ripped away from devoted sole carers and even adopted based on perjury in “expert” reports on a huge scale, with the victims gagged and the traumatised young children scarred for life, which is child abuse by the courts meant to protect them; family life is classed as unimportant in those ironically FAMILY courts, the monogamous are often persecuted, and parental promiscuity and sexual deviancy almost always comes before the children, devastating the lives of family-orientated parents and obliterating the stability of the whole society; the worst fathers imaginable, and even dangerous ones, have been granted contact with their scarred children, who are often dragged screaming to the ordered contact; devoted parents are routinely equalised with the most appalling, sociopathic ones who should never have had any children, the trend that incites sociopaths to serially produce families, cheat, move on, and shatter lives, while those who truly enjoy family life and have moral integrity are too scared to settle down (at all or again); even the most extreme forms of mental abuse of both children and adults is totally ignored and the abusers rewarded for their mental torture of their spouses and children while reaction to mental abuse/torture punished without mentioning the cause of it, which encourages abusers to keep on abusing; while there is an astonishing amount of regulations stifling the victims with deadlines, lack of adequate procedures, rights and Legal Aid lawyers, or lawyers daring to get involved with the most dubious of cases, the court staff seem to be bound by no legislations or duty to act according to the law to start with and at every following juncture; all whistleblowers are sacked; no complaints procedures work but are only decorative, meaning there is total anarchy and unaccountability despite an enormous quantity of documentary evidence for serious abuse of power and even criminality, often in a serial sequence per case; you know that the media are gagged and scared of reporting on these crimes despite thousands regularly writing to them for decades….
It seems to be that most people in power do not understand that with such power there should be basic decency and responsibility; otherwise, it is all fake, insipid, and shameful! That in a democracy civil servants need to be of far higher than average moral probity and not below the average bar, where they turn a blind eye to human suffering, injustice, and serious human rights abuses.
May I know what you are, as a person in charge of human rights in Britain, going to do regarding these horrific crimes against humanity, and if and when you are going to give the victims of the last 3-4 decades a voice that they are legally and democratically entitled to? With your title and in your role, turning a blind eye should never be an option….

Evelyn Nissirios — Extreme Ethics Violator Appointed to an Ethics Committee
Like Child Predators Drawn to School Positions, or Criminals Drawn to Judicial Roles , Extreme Ethics Violators are Drawn to Ethics Committee Memberships
Extreme ethics violators such as Evelyn Nissirios being appointed to positions on ethics committees brings question to their actual role and undermines the credibility of attorney ethics committees everywhere. At a time when investigative reporting across the country has found too many legal oversight agencies to be nothing more than colleagues covering for other colleagues, Nissirios’ appointment is particularly disturbing. Her motives are clear, since she is all these rolled into one: child predator, criminal, and ethics violator.
But what are the motivations of the committee? Nissirios had received at least four ethics complaints by five individuals in just months leading up to her appointment (these are only the ones known to me; for comparison, medical professionals, too, are subject to their own ethics code, and I have spent a twenty-five-year career without a single complaint). The sheer number of complaints should have given the Ethics Committee pause — especially since she cleared none of them, as the Committee did not investigate them — but to appoint such a person to serve on the Committee raises questions about the Committee’s own selection criteria.
The dismissal of these complaints without an investigation is also interesting, since the Office of Attorney Ethics clearly states:
If the facts of the case reveal a violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct, the case will be investigated.
Reasons the case might not be accepted:
· If the facts of the case do not constitute unethical conduct, even if proven. For example, if the facts of the case show that the lawyer simply has been rude or did not pay a bill on time, the secretary will not docket the case.
· Substantial fee disputes will not be investigated by the district ethics committees. Fee disputes should be addressed through the Fee Arbitration Program.
· If the case involves pending civil or criminal litigation filed against the attorney, the secretary will not docket the case.
Yet, all of the above complaints each alleged multiple violations of the Rules of Professional Conduct, and none of them met the exclusion criteria. Instead:
· The facts of each case constituted highly injurious, egregious, and extremely unethical conduct.
· The complaints had nothing to do with fee disputes.
· There were no pending civil or criminal litigation at the time of these complaints.
None of the reasons given for dismissing all of the above complaints were listed on the web site.
A Family Court litigant recently submitted the following letter regarding her concerns about Evelyn Nissirios’ appointment. Revelations of dishonesty and sadism are astonishing. The letter was dismissed by the Ethics Committee in a derogatory manner, in a highly condescending tone — which in itself is revealing to a psychiatrist. Jason Saunders, first assistant ethics counsel of the Ethics Committee, only kept repeating, without explanation, some version of: “We will not be taking any action with regard to your submission.” Nevertheless, the following litigant’s letter with clear ethics violations is noteworthy for the public:
Dear Ethics Committee Chair,
I am writing to express my deep concerns about the recent appointment of Evelyn Nissirios to the Ethics Committee. My surprise stems from her well-documented inappropriate and unethical behavior within her community, which I believe merits careful consideration.
The attached article:
sheds light on her controversial return to the School Board, despite losing an election and resisting community demands for resignation. Additionally, she stirred controversy by orchestrating the cancellation of a school bus line, while conveniently excluding her own neighborhood. A recorded protest from community members further emphasizes the gravity of the situation:
https://youtu.be/2cAUXX5zqz4?si=U_ckOFn-Fs0zB6I1
Beyond these community matters, I am personally affected by Ms. Nissirios’ unethical conduct in the courtroom, as outlined in the attached sworn statement to the police, under prosecutor guidance. Her extensive fabrications and perjury, totaling almost three hundred (300) times, have led to the painful severance of my relationship with my children. They are now under the custody of an individual with a violent history, exposing them to severe danger.
Ms. Nissirios’ involvement in orchestrating the abduction of my children through false police reports, coupled with her psychological manipulation, claiming my abandonment, has exacerbated their suffering. Medical professionals unanimously characterized her behavior as “alarming” and “dangerous,” contributing to a notable decline in my children’s health and academic performance during her three-and-a-half-year tenure as their “guardian ad litem.”
She should not remain on an ethics committee but be subject to ethics committee sanctions for her continuous lying and collusion in child abuse.
To my knowledge, these vital committees are established to uphold the credibility of the courts through the implementation of checks and balances. I trust that this Committee has diligently conducted a comprehensive background check on Evelyn Nissirios and thoroughly assessed her contributions to the community. Her actions within the community suggest anything but ethical behavior.
Would the citizens of Bergen County agree with and respect this Committee’s decision? Ultimately, the test of ethical behavior is not what Ms. Nissirios says of herself, but how the community experiences her conduct. And her words do not match her actions. Why take the risk of tarnishing the hard-earned reputation of the Committee by having such a person of questionable character as a member? I implore the Ethics Committee to reevaluate Ms. Nissirios’ appointment, considering the severity of her actions and potential violations of ethical standards. I am prepared to provide additional evidence as required.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
[Name Redacted]

[image error]‘Mentally Ill, Incompetent, and Evil’
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.

In Family Court, Strong Women and Good Mothers are Targets for Sacrifice
The Mother Below Reached Out to Me in Desperation; Her Story Sounds Unbelievable, but in Family Court It is Typical
BATON ROUGE MOM GOING TO PARISH PRISON SATURDAY FOR FAILING TO PAY HER HUSBAND’S ATTORNEY FEES
By Woody Jenkins, editor, Central City News — BATON ROUGE
Katherine Diamond, a 55-year-old Baton Rouge mother of 13-year-old twins, has been ordered to report to the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison at 8 a.m. Saturday morning to begin serving five days of a 140-day prison sentence.
Her crime? Well, she actually hasn’t been convicted of a crime or even accused of one. The sentence comes from an order by Family Court Judge Erika Green that Ms. Diamond pay nearly $75,000 of her husband’s attorney fees in connection with their custody battle and for other costs.
Three years ago, Family Court Judge Pam Baker found that Ms. Diamond had committed child abuse. That was in a Family Court civil case, not in a criminal trial. However, a review of a video of the alleged child abuse — a video taken and edited by the ex-husband — shows that no abuse occurred. Yet, because of that video clip, which was not substantiated by an investigation, Ms. Diamond has not been allowed to see her children in more than two years.
Baton Rouge attorney Susan Raborn, who is not associated with the case, reviewed the video of the alleged child abuse for the Central City News. She said, “The video by the ex-husband was taken at a parking lot where they were scheduled to exchange the children from his vehicle to hers. The little girl resists getting into the mom’s vehicle for about 10 seconds. At no time does Ms. Diamond hit or hurt the child. She is simply trying to get her into the car. Meanwhile, the husband is in his truck filming and does nothing to get the children to cooperate with the transfer and get in the car with their mother. To call this child abuse is absurd. To convince the court to go along with such a story to destroy a mom and take her children from her is outrageous. After reviewing the video a number of times, I can say with certainty that this is not a case of child abuse.”
The allegation of abuse was made by Ms. Diamond’s ex-husband in their child custody case before Family Court. It was never investigated by the district attorney, law enforcement, or the Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services. No criminal complaint was ever made against Ms. Diamond. It was simply an accusation made by the husband in Family Court.
When Ms. Diamond’s previous attorney, Kathy Benoit, attempted to go into court to argue that Ms. Diamond’s ex-husband had been manipulating their case and keeping their children away from their mother, the ex-husband’s attorney said it was a frivolous allegation and asked the judge to hold both Ms. Diamond and Ms. Benoit in contempt of court, which the court did.
Ms. Raborn decried the weaponization of the courts to criminalize the work of attorneys, put them in fear of representing their clients, and destroy their client’s due process rights.
“Here we have a person being treated as a criminal but who was not afforded a criminal defense attorney,” Ms. Raborn said. “Family Court should not be able to put people in jail without affording them due process and proper criminal representation.”
Under Louisiana law, a party to a suit normally has to pay his own legal bills. However, in the Family Court, when an attorney for one party gets the judge to hold the other party in contempt of court, the person held in contempt can be forced to pay their spouse’s attorney bills and can be put in prison if they fail to do so.
While debtor’s prisons were done away with in the 1800’s, some people are still thrown into prison for nonpayment of fines for contempt of court.
Ironically, Ms. Diamond’s ancestor, Robert Morris, signer of the Declaration of Independence and one of the chief financers of the Revolution, lost his fortune, and was sentenced to debtor’s prison for three years until the passage of the Bankruptcy Act of 1801, which set him free.
Contrary to what was said in court, Ms. Diamond has in fact been out performing trash pickup weekend after weekend with petty criminals and people convicted of DWI and drug charges. All for allegations of child abuse which did not happen.
Ms. Diamond said she has no means to pay the $75,000 being demanded by the judge for her husband’s attorney fees, child support, and other costs.
Ms. Diamond said, “I have never abused my children in any way. This is a complete injustice. They have taken my children and everything I have. Now they expect me to pay my husband’s legal bills. I’m going to prison but I’m not a criminal. Isn’t there anyone who will help me and end this nightmare?”
At present, Ms. Diamond is facing a potential of 140 days in prison, more than 200 hours of community service, and nearly $75,000 in payment for her husband’s legal bills and other costs. She is hopeful a miracle will happen, that these contempt charges will be dropped by her ex-husband, and that he will allow their children to see their mother, so that no more time will pass or memories be lost and they will be reunited soon.

Evelyn Nissirios — World-Renowned Torture Expert Confirms Child Abuse
Medical Report on Child Torture Sent to (and Ignored by) Former Saddle River School Board President and Current Saddle River School District Superintendent
The report below is published, because I would be remiss if I had neglected to inform a school board that it had among its ranks a child predator who regularly engages in child abduction, abuse, and torture. Similarly, a school board would be remiss if it refused to investigate serious alarms concerning its member — especially if it is a member who has clung to her seat despite being voted out, at great discontent to the community. Multiple members have asked that I inform the community if the Saddle River School Board continues to ignore this information regarding Evelyn Nissirios.
The official definition of torture requires that one is acting in a state capacity, as Nissirios has acted through her role as “guardian ad litem.” Also, child predators gravitate toward public positions so as to garner trust with the community, in order to continue or to expand their predatory activities. Nissirios’ extreme actions to hold onto a seat on the School Board, defying an election loss and intense public protest, may fit this characteristic tendency.
I had hoped that the former president of the Saddle River School Board, Jon Peros, and the current superintendent of the Saddle River School, Gina Cinotti, would review the reports when I wrote to them almost a year ago. Far from opening an investigation on Nissirios, they dodged my every attempt at communication, even though I am a legally-mandated reporter of child abuse.
In the case I presented, Nissirios suppressed ten medical reports to unconstitutionally imprison two children with their violent abuser, while severing all their contact with the caregiver and mother who singlehandedly raised them all their lives. Now, for almost two and a half years, Nissirios has blocked all communication, while inculcating in these children that their mother “abandoned” them. What is unthinkable for the average person is near-universal practice for Nissirios: whenever there is proof of child abuse, she suppresses evidence, obstructs investigations, intimidates witnesses, and perjures in court to effectuate a “custody reversal” for a price. And it is a profitable business: what perpetrator would not pay to escape felony prosecution, if he could instead detain the children he abused, continue his abuse, and extort “child support” to make up for his payments to her and more?
Below is one of the reports Nissirios suppressed, so that it could not be entered into court records. The author is a preeminent world authority in forensic psychiatry who has coauthored the United Nations Istanbul Protocol for documenting torture, teaches at Harvard Law School, and organizes amicus briefs for the U.S. Supreme Court. He examined over fifty pieces of medical evidence on the above children before concluding that they were being tortured:
Dear Ms. — ,
[The two Forensic Professionals who diagnosed your children’s father with psychopathy, a dangerous personality disorder that is a contraindication to parenting] have demonstrated the highest level of professionalism, given the application of their extensive knowledge, education, skill, training, and experience; and that the current situation of you and your children being subject to severe mental pain and suffering rises to the level of torture by international standards and is an immediate crisis requiring posthaste attention and remediation by the Family Court, Bergen County, Chancery, New Jersey.
[My recommendations] to the Court are that, on the face of it, the severe pain and suffering you and your children are being subject to by the instigation of or with the consent or acquiescence of [Evelyn Nissirios and others] acting in an official capacity require immediate correction…. the emergency situation arising from the information I have, on the face of it, warrants immediate correction of medically contraindicated and unsupportable behaviors thus far tolerated in that Court.
I have analyzed available and relevant information sources, as they relate specifically to the medical findings of your case [through] more than half century of my knowledge, education, training, and experience….
The Family Court, through acts of omission and acts of commission, including but not limited to process, proceedings, decisions, and orders, has exposed you and your children to torture by way of placing your children with [the dangerously abusive father].
My expert and authoritative opinion that these experiences constitute torture include, but are not limited to … medical findings, as enumerated [in a list of almost sixty statements of findings].
He concludes:
“Torture is a crime of specific intent to shatter human ties, bonds, and connections of shared social contract…. Torture, strictly defined, has caused Profound, severe, pervasive, past, ongoing and increasing, life-threatening physical and psychologic traumas and injuries of massive proportion of a loving mother and her two vulnerable children. It is extreme, potentially beyond remedy at this point.
It is intentional, concerted, and pervasive as perpetrated and perpetuated by known and visible public figures, [including Evelyn Nissirios], diametrically opposite to their sanctioned and authorized roles and behaviors.
When causes and conditions are sufficient, phenomena arise.
Torture has caused the suffering of [the protective mother and children]. The acts of omission and commission of the Family Court and its fellow travelers and Associates are on their face conscious and intentional, and coincide with the benefit and character traits of [the dangerously abusive father].
Basic common decency and the rule of law in a democracy demand halt of the torture, making whole the objects of the torture, and an end to impunity of the perpetrators and the demand of accountability.
B.H.R., M.D.
*This is the fifth of a short series of weekly articles devoted to the information I am providing the Saddle River community about a member on its School Board, begun at the request of a local official. Despite the many articles, this is still the tip of the iceberg, and more will be revealed in the upcoming book, Judicial Violence: Anatomy of a Family Court Case.
