Why Almost No Reporting on Family Courts is Accurate

The True Degree of Depravity and Corruption in the Family Courts is Nearly Impossible to Grasp

I could not believe what I was reading when I came across an abominable article by the Free Press. Despite claiming to have “spent more than eight months speaking to dozens of people and reading hundreds of documents,” the reporting made a fundamental, fatal error: to trust Family Court rulings. This is the equivalent of walking into a Nazi concentration camp and believing that everyone there is guilty and deserves to be there, just as the Nazi guards say. There is simply no chance that any “investigation” under this lens will be accurate, and the blindness to the horrors of the Family Courts makes this article appalling. A simple, cursory research of the sheer numbers of children and mothers who are dying in Family Court should have sent alarm bells ringing, rather than reducing everything to a “tempestuous union” or an “ugly domestic dispute.” The article should have begun with how Family Courts have become a “law-free zone” as a result of decades of lack of transparency and no oversight and are the equivalent of organized crime. The fact that 98 percent of abused children are given to their abusive parent in my own experience, and a National Institute of Justice-sponsored study showing that it would be more correct to overturn every custody decision by Family Court, makes clear whom the good parent and victim was: the (as is usual) mother without her children. It is a telling sign that one has fallen into abuser gaslighting — not to mention that the deceased parent had no say for this “investigative” article — when frivolous rhetoric replaces the very real and utterly serious crisis of children being ripped from their primary caregivers to be “sold” to their torture, rape, battery, and murder (one-fifth of child murders by parent may be attributable to Family Courts setting up the conditions). In this egregious context, I was very happy to see that WeSpoke published a rebuttal letter:

An Open Letter to The Free Press on “A Wife’s Revenge from Beyond the Grave”WeSpoke responds to The Free Press article in an Open Letter

July 8, 2024

WeSpoke first heard that The Free Press was working on an article about Catherine Kassenoff’s tragic case in April 2024. Grieving her loss, the WeSpoke community was eager to speak to any national media organization willing to cover the abuses in the U.S. family court system, which has been largely ignored by mainstream media.

The divorce industry is a $50 billion dollar a year business that remains largely unregulated and unscrutinized by the public, with proceedings and processes that are closed to public view, ostensibly ‘for the protection of children and families’ but which far too often seem to act as a cover for delay, dysfunction and profiteering off the backs of vulnerable families. WeSpoke has seen the abuses in the system play out repeatedly, and has spent years and countless hours attending to its victims and pleading with legislators, government agencies, civil rights organizations and the mainstream media to address what is happening to families who naively step into our family and matrimonial courts seeking help, many who seek to escape troubled and abusive marriages, only to find themselves trapped in litigation for years, and decimated, both financially and emotionally.

The article’s author, journalist Francesca Block, approached us (and others who knew Catherine personally) under the pretense of writing about “Catherine Kassenoff’s divorce and the battles she faced in the New York Court System.” WeSpoke agreed to be interviewed not only for the article, but also for The Free Press’ new podcast in production on these issues. After all, Catherine helped to found WeSpoke in 2022, and many members knew Catherine well and followed her case contemporaneously. We witnessed her heartbreak on a daily basis, as the children she raised were taken from her. We knew Catherine as a remarkably intelligent lawyer who practiced at the highest levels of her profession as a former federal prosecutor and special counsel to two New York State governors. We knew her as a mother who fought valiantly to regain custody of her daughters and to reform a system that she found appalling as an attorney.

Yet The Free Press has sought to re-write Catherine’s career and life, presenting her as an unwell and unfit mother, and vindictive spouse, and they largely ignore the issues with the matrimonial system that helped compound her family’s pain. Whilst we recognize there are multiple sides to every contentious divorce story, nothing prepared us for this one-sided piece presenting Catherine’s estranged husband Allan as the ‘true’ victim of abuse and an allegedly baseless social media driven smear campaign.

“A Wife’s Revenge from Beyond the Grave” was released on a Saturday morning in July with the initial tagline “the juiciest read you could have at the beach this weekend.” We are disappointed that The Free Press considered the preventable and premature death of a mother and lawyer, as well as three young girls’ lives irrevocably upheaved, as a “juicy” and “wild” read. They have since revised their tag line at the time of this printing.

The Free Press chose to publish their article the day after a $150 million dollar defamation lawsuit filed by Allan against a blogger (Kassenoff v. Harvey) was settled on July 5, 2024 on confidential terms. The next day, the defendant in that lawsuit, Robbie Harvey, posted a public retraction of his earlier criticism of Allan to his 2 million followers, a remarkably broad mea culpa that presents like a coerced hostage video as he reads from a script, and then goes on to suggest Catherine was the primary perpetrator. Notably, all comments were turned off on Harvey’s posts on TikTok and Instagram.

Although Francesca Block’s theme points to the dangers of one-sided social media vigilantism, ironically her article omits key facts and contains limited details about the role Allan may have shared in driving the intense and expensive conflict with Catherine, and of course Catherine is no longer here to defend herself. Although we can’t know the ins and outs of their combative relationship, we do know that Catherine’s ex, a seasoned lawyer himself, reportedly spent over $3 million dollars on various family court professional fees as their divorce dragged on for over four years, and that Allan and Catherine were in fact still married when she passed away. We also know that the well-paid family court professionals in the Kassenoff case helped the court determine that Catherine, who everyone concedes was the former primary caretaker of the family’s children with no criminal or substance abuse in her past, should no longer play a role in her young children’s lives, and that any future interactions with her own children would be at the court’s behest. The author does not pause to consider how confusing, devastating, painful and humiliating this outcome might have been for Catherine, as it would be for almost any parent. The author also skims past any curiosity over why such eye-popping fees were required to arrive on a custody determination in one single family’s lives, breezily implying the expensive acrimony was simply due to Catherine’s ‘vindictiveness.’

Perhaps most disappointingly, Block brushes aside the outsized role that ‘neutral’ psychological evaluators and their confidential reports played in this case, as they have been in many other acrimonious custody cases in U.S. courts. In 2021, after a 2-year study, NY’s Blue Ribbon Commission suggested a moratorium on the use of these evaluations in New York courts, finding that they were rife with bias and with no proven benefit to children or families. We had hoped this author might highlight the disturbing use of these questionable evaluations in our courts, including letting The Free Press readers know that a select group of mental health professionals are routinely assigned by judges in contested custody cases and paid shocking sums of money by litigants (reports for a single family may garner $50,000 or more in fees, and a family has almost no choice but to pay), and that they make potentially life changing determinations for children based on largely unknown, vague and oblique standards that have been challenged as lacking in scientific validity and based on ‘hearsay upon hearsay.’ We know that some of these court appointed evaluators have come to tragically flawed conclusions, where a child is murdered during a contested custody case, like Kyra Franchetti was. Anecdotally, we have repeatedly found that women’s parenting imperfections are focused on and pathologized in these evaluation reports, while men’s faults are more often whitewashed and forgiven.

Coincidently, Mary Richardson Kennedy, first wife of presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr., died by suicide in 2012 during her divorce in the same Westchester County courts, where custody was switched from Mary to the father. The Kassenoffs had the same court-appointed forensic evaluator as the Kennedys, who determined in both cases that the father should have full custody, even though the mothers were the children’s primary attachment figure.

Despite the concerns about psychological reports used in custody cases like the Kassenoffs, the author quickly pivots to unblinking support of the forensic psychologists’ findings in Catherine’s case, assuring the reader that the confidential reports that determined that the mother of three should not be in her children’s lives were ‘neutral’ and ‘thorough.’

Block omits evidence and facts showing that what occurred in the Kassenoff divorce is far from uncommon; in fact, it is emblematic of a systemic problem, not just about one couple’s “brutal divorce.” What happened to Catherine by the courts during her divorce is happening every day to mothers and children around the country. Family Court is riddled with incompetence and failure to protect, all under the cloak of “in the best interest of the children.” Many women don’t make it out alive (see Mothers Lost.) For the District Attorneys, State Attorney General and the FBI to turn a blind eye to all the complaints and calls for investigations into the operations of these courts is unconscionable. We even called for New York legislators to step in and exert their power to investigate the courts by launching a Moreland Commission, when we testified in the Public State Senate Public Hearing in 2023.

The Free Press claims that their journalist spent 8 months researching this piece. To us, this represents a deeply disappointing missed opportunity. The press is very much needed to assist the public in understanding a basic function of its courts — divorce — and just how poorly that function is performed and how unaccountable the courts are for their abysmal service. The press could do a tremendous service to the public by sunlighting these issues, how our current legal system incites and incentivizes conflict, often rewarding it, and its devastating effect on families.

Our community knew Catherine, and her goal was not revenge as this reporter claims. Her goal was above all — not to lose the children whom she loved deeply. At her death, Catherine stated her hope for the future: to spur investigation and reform of the family courts across the country. Let’s not fail her in death, as she was failed in life.

In closing, we want to speak to all of the women who may be trapped in the family courts who are reading this: The Free Press article does not accurately express the situation in the courts for women. We hear you, we see you. Don’t let their article dishearten you or provoke any sense of hopelessness. Women are gathering, women are speaking, and we will overturn this beast of a system together.

Free Speech Violation Disguised as a Protective Order

My Affidavit Reveals the Lengths to which Family Court Actors will Go to Hide Their Violent Crimes and ‘DARVO’ (Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender)

AFFIDAVIT OF BANDY LEE

I, Bandy Lee, duly sworn upon oath, declare the following statement is true to the best of my knowledge:

1. I am a forensic psychiatrist and expert witness for the courts with twenty-five years of experience. I am also a faculty member of the Harvard Program in Psychiatry and the Law. When I consulted a preeminent constitutional scholar at Harvard Law School with all the evidence I had, he agreed that [Guardian ad Litem, or hitherto “GAL”] and the court of Jane Gallina-Mecca were violating the U.S. Constitution. He even wrote a personal letter to Judge Gallina-Mecca, urging her to make a correction, but she did not, and now she is under federal litigation, along with [GAL].

2. In January 2022, shocked at [GAL’s] and Jane Gallina-Mecca’s lack of due process and contempt for the law, to engage in extreme human rights violations, I informed them that, unless they corrected course, I would go public with their deeds. They merely responded that I am “not a litigant,” and conveyed no concern. Indeed, I would come to discover routine, reckless endangerment of lives under Gallina-Mecca, with at least one death widely publicized. [GAL] herself has boasted “absolute judicial immunity” regarding her deeds.

3. I have worked for the past two and a half years to expose [GAL] as a corrupt court official who endangers the lives of the very children she has been entrusted to protect. Without remorse, she has harassed, falsely arrested, orchestrated false police raids, and co-conspired to intimidate witnesses — and has invariably given custody to physically or sexually abusive parent in virtually all of the cases in which she has participated.

4. The main question is: How is telling the truth harassment? [GAL’s] petition is nothing but a naked attempt to circumvent the First Amendment, through semantical obfuscation, and the rebuke she received from the legal departments of major magazines and news outlets. She and Jane Gallina-Mecca were reprimanded for their “presumptively unconstitutional prior restraint against ongoing publication.” An article in the Washington Post reported Gallina-Mecca’s illegal interference with the press in the past. [GAL’s] goal is clear: to bend the law backwards to try to make my constitutionally-protected speech a threat of physical violence, so that she can continue preying on vulnerable children with impunity.

5. In her certification, [GAL] lies or misleads many times. Most notably, she concocts a connection between me and a third author who advocates the Second Amendment, displays stacks of ammunition, and places her picture between crosshairs. Her dramatic display belies the fact that she already knows there is absolutely no connection between me and this author: when that article was published, she immediately called the state police. After a thorough investigation, the state police concluded that there was no basis whatsoever for her making a connection. At the time, she assumed that I wrote the article. My first article on [GAL], dated February 17, 2023, clearly postdates that article, as I cite the article and denounce any violence (see Exhibit A).

6. [GAL] has refused to accept that multiple agencies and individuals are investigating her and Gallina-Mecca’s crimes, as the above author demonstrates. Instead, she has harassed and intimidated me and my sister for any random information that got out on her case. She used this false attribution to sanction my sister with almost $27,000, when the judge recommended $5000 ([GAL] said that the only way she would accept $5000 is if my sister would stop any future articles from being published — a power my sister clearly did not have). The absurdity of [GAL] taking out a protective order against my sister, when my sister has not posted or said anything negative about [GAL] — her last communication was an email related to her litigation, dated July 23, 2023 — reveals the total lack of any semblance of credibility of these bogus charges.

7. Lest we forget — my sister had her screaming, crying children literally pulled from her arms by a “SWAT team” of five police officers, in a blatant kidnap that was fully orchestrated by [GAL] and her abusive husband. This occurred after [GAL] specifically gave her custody time with her children that weekend, at which time they went to a nearby hotel to access the pool, because they were suicidal after being secretly taken to a faraway resort by their father the weekend before (upon which the children called their maternal grandfather in terror — which was how we found out that the abusive father violated court directives to take them out of state without permission).

8. Instead of protecting these children, [GAL] has not only allowed their abusive father to abduct and isolate them but has harassed, intimidated, assaulted by false police raid, and almost caused the death of the mother. The mother developed post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) only after [GAL’s] raids, when she had not acquired this diagnosis even after suffering thirteen years of domestic violence and coercive control. [GAL] is solely responsible for abducting her previously healthy and happy children from their primary caregiver and devoted mother to isolate them with their abusive father — who almost killed each of them by head injury and was placed on a restraining order shortly before [GAL] transferred them to his sole custody, to their extreme medical decline ever since.

9. Additionally, [GAL’s] violation of my First Amendment rights through a false claim of “threat” constitutes a curtailment of my rights and privileges as a physician. I am a mandated reporter, legally required to report child abuse at any medical suspicion, and to repeatedly report it if the abuse is ongoing. I have encountered obstacles every step of the way because of her and Jane Gallina-Mecca’s interferences with Child Protective Services and the Child Abuse Hotline. Therefore, I am acting on my conscience when I am speaking for the scores of children [GAL] has victimized, all to their verifiable decline.

10. [GAL’s] greatest fear is that the truth will be revealed. She conjures up an implausible false narrative that she is being physically threatened by randomly picking a “tweet” from someone whom I have never met nor contacted. I am a New York Times bestselling author and a public intellectual with an X audience of over 100,000. Of the thousands of posts I make per year, if one erratic response to my articles was all [GAL] could find, then it is only proof that the benefit and protection of life I try to provide far outweigh any unintended harm. Since my articles, judicial reformers have called upon me to testify before seven different State legislatures to help protect children from Family Court abuses. Almost forty other victim litigants of [GAL] have come forward and shared their stories with me, which has familiarized me with [GAL’s] decade-long pattern of transferring thriving children from devoted parents and nurturing homes to hand them to abusers (usually, an abusive father who is paying her to steal the children, whom he would then use to extort “child support” or other, sometimes extreme, money-making schemes). A documentary film is underway with their testimonies.

11. When the Saddle River community, which was protesting her remaining on their Board of Education despite their voting her out (she was voted out in November 2023), invited me to report to the Board my observations, several of the above victim parents offered to testify. We were in the process of arranging these testimonies before the Board when [GAL] filed her protective order.

12. The one who needs a protective order against her is [GAL], not myself or my innocent sister. [GAL] has constantly harassed my sister for my articles, when my sister has never been my source of information and never has prior knowledge of any of my publications. I write about what I have witnessed myself, what independent investigators have told me, and what I read about in articles such as the one [GAL] cited, which often have more information on my sister’s case than I myself knew. Many who are familiar with [GAL’s] and Gallina-Mecca’s gangster-like methods have warned me about my own physical safety. I took down several articles in response to their cautioning that my life could be in danger, and others have told me, in no uncertain terms, that my public presence and free speech were keeping me alive. There is at least one reporter who died while confronting Gallina-Mecca, and [GAL] is known for her violent police raids, which she even perpetrated on the Saddle River community, much to their shock (it had never in its history experienced such violence by a Board of Education member against a parent). One violent raid almost killed my sister, for which the State of New Jersey criminally charged [GAL] as of March 26, 2024 (see Exhibit B). [GAL] lied in her certification that no criminal charges exist. Because of an error in a recent probable cause hearing (where the judge did not hear the amended charges), these charges are being resubmitted. [GAL’s] lies to the police have been submitted to the Bergen County prosecutor, in addition to her more than 350 lies to the court and multiple counts of felony perjury, just in my sister’s case. The rest is being litigated in federal court, including her and Gallina-Mecca’s violations of my First Amendment rights.

13. This is not a protective order against a “threat”. This consists of a “cease and desist” order from publishing or speaking the truth, in a desperate attempt by [GAL], under the tacit approval of Jane Gallina-Mecca, to silence me and my sister so as to deny our First Amendment rights of freedom of expression. They are falsely claiming the need for a protective order to suppress our rightful criticism of their extreme abuses of judicial authority, by which my sister’s two children were illegally and unconstitutionally abducted from her without due process; to negate our federal charges; and to undermine the petition for impeachment against Gallina-Mecca that over thirty of her victim litigants organized, which has gathered almost 600 signatures in just three weeks. This is also why they are using a fellow judge in the Bergen County Family Court system under Gallina-Mecca’s supervision as chief judge, to silence me in my writing and expression — thereby preventing me from bringing their illegal and unconstitutional abuses of authority under public scrutiny. For all these reasons, the protective order against me and my sister should be dropped.

Evelyn Nissirios — Desperate to Avoid Prosecution, Tries Harassment and Retaliation

Evelyn Nissirios — Desperate to Avoid Prosecution, Tries Harassment and Retaliation

When Threats and Intimidation do not Work, Evelyn Nissirios Goes for Harassment and Retaliation, but Her Victims are Determined to Get Justice

There is nothing I would love more than to stop writing about Evelyn Nissirios; yet, there is never a quiet day for anyone forced to engage with her. Her unending acts of harassment now include frivolous restraining orders. She served both myself and my sister — the latter whom she almost killed via violent police raid. How ironic!

Nissirios organized the raid through a false police report, within hours of being notified that my sister was suffering from a life-threatening medical emergency. Nissirios told multiple provable lies in this report, for which a civilian complaint has been filed. Her lies and acts of perjury in court exceed 350 counts over three years, for which another civilian complaint has been filed. Nissirios thus operates through constant lying, as dozens of litigants under her have testified on video record. And now, she has lied again in order to harass with false restraining orders!

Nissirios is charging my sister, a litigant she herself repeatedly assaulted, of “cyber harassment” and “stalking”. This is bizarre if not delusional, since my sister never messaged her outside of formal emails in the course of her litigation, which ended months ago. The State of New Jersey has rather criminally charged Nissirios for harassing my sister, for the episode that landed her in the emergency room. She could have died from life-threatening high blood pressures, as a direct result of Nissirios’ actions, she was told. Two days later, during a second life-threatening episode, soon after she informed the court, Nissirios took that opportunity to maliciously prosecute and to violently assault her, through police raid — in co-conspiracy with her violent husband, who had been plotting and attempting her “medical” demise for months.

Nissirios’ criminal charges were published earlier, at her community’s request (in the context of her ongoing contentious battle while illegitimately remaining on a Board from which her community voted her out). Below are the criminal charges the State has issued against her co-conspirer and my domestic violence-offending brother-in-law:

I also do not understand why I would receive a restraining order, or how I have “cyber harassed” her. If she is referring to my articles, they are well within my First Amendment rights, as the legal department of one of the magazines she helped harass has clarified:

this order requires that the [referenced article] must “be immediately removed, deleted, and unpublished”…. [Magazine] is not a party to this lawsuit, had no notice that such an order was being sought, and almost certainly is not subject to the court’s jurisdiction. In addition, it appears obvious to me that even if the order expressly covered the [Magazine] article, it would functionally be a presumptively unconstitutional prior restraint against ongoing publication.

I, too, was not under any jurisdiction other than my own federal lawsuit against her. Furthermore, my articles are not intended for Nissirios but for the public. How else would her potential victims learn about her deadly deeds, when she hides behind so respectable a title as “officer of the court,” or “member of the Board of Education,” all the while co-conspiring in child kidnapping, child rape, child torture, and attempted child murder on a daily basis, month after month, year after year, with impunity? If she believes I am defaming her, she knows what legal recourses she has; I more than welcome — and am eager to have — any opportunity for discovery!

Finally, I do not understand how I could have “stalked” her. If she is referring to my one appearance before her Board of Education, that was by invitation. On February 7, 2024, her community invited me to attend a public meeting of the Board, which Nissirios refused to leave, despite the community voting her out. The community recently invited me to return — on July 17, 2024 — to confirm that Nissirios has criminal charges (the Board insisted she did not, even after I emailed them multiple times over several months about her charges). No revelation seems sufficient for them to let her go, regardless of the community’s wishes, and recently even the Board member the community had voted in to take her place resigned. Perhaps she was trying to prevent this meeting from happening through her restraining order.

The irony is, if anyone, I should be the one filing for a restraining order against Nissirios and her accomplice, Jane Gallina-Mecca! I am the one harassed and threatened for being a whistleblower and a witness, and given their track record of abuses of power and connections with multiple deaths, including that of a reporter, I should be the one fearing for my life! (indeed, I have notified everyone that, should something happen to me, these two are the culprits — in all my career treating the most violent individuals society produces, and even warning against a dangerous president, I have never felt my life so endangered as under these two).

In the end, I can only conclude that these restraining orders are more evidence of Nissirios’ criminality. In my twenty-five years of specializing in criminal psychology, I have found that desperate criminals always frame their victims with their own crimes. Does Nissirios believe that only nuisances to herself are “harassment”, and that her victims are simply supposed to “roll over” when she steals their children and condemns them to fates worse than death? This is the typical structure of a warped criminal mind, upon reaching the end of her crime spree.

*This is the nineteenth article informing the public of Evelyn Nissirios’ criminal acts of violence against children, which she has covered up through extreme abuses of authority. As long as the child abuse, torture, rape, and battery continue, these articles will not end. Now, Nissirios is trying to stop them through harassment and retaliation. The Saddle River Board of Education, which has been protecting Nissirios by illegitimately keeping her on the Board — shockingly, even after the community voted her out  — has been a co-conspirator in her crimes against children, by shielding her from accountability. However, all this is coming to an end. If Nissirios feels harassed by my meager articles, how is she going to cope with the books, the documentary, and the television series come out, where she will be a principal player and archetype? In the meantime, many are suffering the most unspeakable pain of seeing their children destroyed. Please sign the petition to impeach Nissirios’ accomplice, Judge Jane Gallina-Mecca, which has now exceeded 500 signatures! Several of Nissirios’ victims will participate in presenting it to the New Jersey Senate.

New Amended Federal Lawsuit against Jane Gallina-Mecca, Evelyn Nissirios, and Michael Piacenza

My Sister Joins My Complaint against State Actors who Destroyed Her Family, Just to Coddle One Sick Man

The federal judge in my case gave me leave to amend my lawsuit, and thus I took the opportunity to add Michael Piacenza as defendant and my sister as plaintiff. It now begins:

This is a civil rights action against employees of the state … who conspired to deprive a mother, in violation of her right to the procedures of a fair trial, of custody and of access to her two minor children for the “crime” of trying to pursue justice for them. In the process, the defendants illegally: conspired to have the mother’s sister, a qualified psychiatrist, arrested in order to prevent her from investigating reports of the children’s deteriorating health; conspired to have the mother herself arrested on false charges; threatened the mother‘s sister with prosecution in the hope of deterring her from further investigation; deprived the mother, a self-represented litigant, access to the transcripts of her own state court action, thus preventing her from adequately defending herself; and barred her and her sister from publishing any comments about her case in violation of their rights to free speech.

I will not say more about an active lawsuit in progress. However, what I have learned about Family Courts more generally through my investigations I must write about as a scholar of violence. Family Courts are a destructive and violent, mafia-like enterprise committing the greatest human rights violations on U.S. soil, through extreme abuses of unwarranted, vastly-expanded judicial authority. Human rights authors have been warning against them for years if not decades, and finally last year the United Nations Human Rights Council issued a damning report.

Yet, Family Court abuses are not widely known. I noted before that enclaves of medieval barbarity exist even in civilized society, such as behind the concrete walls of jails and prisons. Gladiator fights, gang rapes, and serial murders happen regularly in prisons, because it is known that there will be no consequences; prisoners, who have no real voice, are fair game for unspeakable brutalities, usually far worse than anything they committed. What has been most shocking for me to discover — in my lifetime of studying violence — is that even worse than what is occurring in prisons is happening to another group without a voice: children. An even more depraved world of savagery exists behind the self-imposed “court seals” and secrecy of the so-called, “Family Courts.” And these innocent children committed no crime.

This is how it usually works: an overwhelming majority of women and children presenting to Family Court are victims of domestic abuse. They never suspect that the abuse will escalate a thousandfold upon entry into Family Court, because they believe it is an actual “court”. By the time they recognize the reality, that they would suffer the greatest injustices ever imagined, they have already been demolished — so that they cannot be witnesses. In any criminal court, an abuser’s lack of remorse would be punished, and his delusion (common in criminal psychology) that his accusers have “mental problems” or are trying to “alienate” the children from him would be nipped in the bud. In Family Court, however, this abuser pathology is precisely what is coddled and used to make “fair game” out of children. Child theft, a crime warranting the death penalty in some states, is routine practice in Family Court, since stealing children from the loving parent and then “selling” them to the abuser is a lucrative, 50+ billion-dollar business of human trafficking and a modern-day slave trade. Whenever objections are raised, Family Courts can hide behind the narrative that it was merely a “contentious divorce” and those who complain are merely “unhappy litigants.” With one in four children subject to severe physical abuse, and one in five to sexual abuse — and over one million of them being processed through the Family Courts every year, pedophilic sex trafficking gangs operate along the lengths of the East and West Coasts (and I recently heard in the Midwest, also), waiting for Family Court-generated fodder.

I clarify that I have not verified the pedophilic sex rings myself, but insiders almost universally know about them: “a trafficking ring known as ‘the barber shops,’ a group that populates the corridor of I-95 across the country.” What I witnessed, however, is that Family Courts have sent 100 percent of abused children to their abuser in the forty or so cases I have engaged in as an expert witness. About half of them, in my experience, are trafficked to others for sexual abuse, photographed, and videotaped, and there is no age limit: four-year-olds, two-year-olds, and even infants. It happens in broad knowledge of the Family Courts, since the loving parents continue to bring evidence — enough for immediate conviction in any criminal court — petitions, and pleas to the Courts, for which only they, and never the perpetrators, are punished. The abuser may rape, batter, and even murder the children they are granted custody of, but even after children die, there are no consequences in Family Court (instead, supervision, fines, and imprisonment are only applied to the loving, innocent parent). Indeed, studies are beginning to show that Family Courts commonly facilitate the murders of former partners or of children — this is almost never reported on, because of threats and even possible death.

My sister’s own distorted divorce apprised me of this warped situation of the Family Courts. At first, she seemed to be undergoing a normal divorce, with her philandering and substance-abusing husband deciding to leave, so that he could live with his girlfriend, since she was no longer “praising me enough.” Then, all of a sudden, he wanted custody of the children he never cared enough to spend five minutes with before (this is common, as the predatory Family Courts spot abusive personalities instantly and entice them into taking the children as their “ticket” to financial windfalls through “child support,” all marital assets, the house, and legal fees — and indeed my brother-in-law has demanded six-figure “child support,” no alimony for his wife, the house, and all his legal fees, despite making a million dollars a year). Sadistic personalities discover that, through Family Court, they can torture, imprison, and maybe even murder their ex-spouse with impunity — and indeed my brother-in-law attempted to “medically” murder my sister six times, three times in collusion with the Family Court. He also nearly killed his son by head injury, the way he did his daughter when she was an infant, and was on a restraining order just before the court negated it and gave him sole custody. He has been duly diagnosed of psychopathy, which is a contraindication to parenting, but in Family Court this is all the more “qualification” to have the children!

In this manner, a domestic violence victim who enters Family Court ceases to have any Constitutional rights, any freedom, any right over her children, or any right over her past, current, and future earnings. Evelyn Nissirios, the “children’s guardian ad litem” is in place to ensure that the sale of children occurs “smoothly” for herself (for the children, it is the most abrupt and brutally traumatic transfer imaginable, by police raid). The “judge”, Jane Gallina-Mecca, is there to force “appointed officers” on litigants and then to order their payment, liquidating assets at the rate of hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars. And to intimidate witnesses, they recruit school “principals” such as Michael Piacenza, who entrapped and then falsely arrested two physicians trying to report child abuse (the abusive father was caught on camera orchestrating the entire arrest behind the scenes at the school, during a mandatory conference from which the Family Court excused him but not the mother), and on another occasion falsely arrested the mother for doing routine volunteer work, without telling her that she was not allowed to do what she had done the previous five years, either when he greeted her in the hallway or when he complimented her for her service (he was caught on camera lying to the police that there was a “second court order,” while there was not, when the officer refused to arrest her based on what he had). However, their plans backfired, when their trumped-up charges us were dropped, but Nissirios and my brother-in-law ended up with criminal charges instead. The three defendants probably also thought my sister would be easy to railroad, having the countenance of a submissive Asian wife. Nevertheless, the collusions are endless, as the Division of Child Protection and Permanency and the Child Abuse Hotline are constantly tampered with, which is why Family Courts are referred to as organized crime, or a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) scheme. Below are my latest correspondences with the court:

July 1, 2024

Judge Gallina-Mecca:

This is an eighth [communication] you are receiving, as a result of your refusal to hold Alan T. Chan accountable in his intent to commit a financial heist by fraud upon the court. I request again: please do your job, and enforce accountability. Your task as judge is not to co-conspire in child abduction and abuse, not to co-conspire in financial theft and fraud, and not to assist in a violent spouse’s attempted murder as his hired hand, but to administer the Law….

Sincerely yours,

Bandy X. Lee, M.D., M.Div.

In response, I received the repetitive and mechanical answer that I am “not a party to this matter.” What is noteworthy is that the response came from the judge’s administrative assistant, and my last several messages bounced back from her clerk, indicating that the clerk has been missing for over two months, until the end of her term. An automatic message states simply that she is “out of the office” and does not state why she would be out for this length of time, to the end of her clerkship. This clerk came across to me earlier as exceptionally conscientious and intelligent, and therefore I strongly suspect that she has joined the many compassionate lawyers and judges who enter Family Court and then are ousted, pressured to leave, or quit their professions altogether, so horrified are they by what they have seen. I have written one last note to the administrative assistant, as below (what will seem very obviously wrong to the average reasonable person, is what is “right” in the upside-down “Family Court):

Ms. Castro:

I am indeed not a litigant, as Ms. Gallina-Mecca seems mistakenly to believe. I am a fact witness whom she has:

- illegally blocked, intimidated, harassed, and arrested by secret order;

- violated the professional rights and privileges of, so that I could not fulfill my medical duties;

- intervened with every agency in every way possible, so that I could not report child abuse;

- violated the First Amendment rights of, by abridging my freedom of speech, interfering with the press, and prohibiting my right peaceably to assemble with my own sister.

[Ms. Gallina-Mecca is the one who] forced me to become a party of her case, in order to exert control over me. Does she really believe there will be no consequences?

It has been seven weeks since the trial. We are waiting for her final order with bated breath.

Thank you very much,

Bandy X. Lee, M.D., M.Div.

My New Amended Federal Lawsuit against Jane Gallina-Mecca, Evelyn Nissirios, and Michael Piacenza

Now, My Sister Joins My Complaint against State Actors who Destroyed Her Entire Family, Just to Coddle One Sick Man

The federal judge in my case gave me leave to amend my lawsuit, and thus I took the opportunity to add Michael Piacenza as defendant and my sister as plaintiff. It now begins:

This is a civil rights action against employees of the state … who conspired to deprive a mother, in violation of her right to the procedures of a fair trial, of custody and of access to her two minor children for the “crime” of trying to pursue justice for them. In the process, the defendants illegally: conspired to have the mother‘s sister, a qualified psychiatrist, arrested in order to prevent her from investigating reports of the children’s deteriorating health; conspired to have the mother herself arrested on false charges; threatened the mother‘s sister with prosecution in the hope of deterring her from further investigation; deprived the mother, a self-represented litigant, access to the transcripts of her own state court action, thus preventing her from adequately defending herself; and barred her and her sister from publishing any comments about her case in violation of their rights to free speech.

I will not say more about an active lawsuit in progress. However, what I have learned about Family Courts more generally through my investigations I must write about as a scholar of violence. Family Courts are committing the greatest human rights violations on U.S. soil and getting away with it, through abuses of vastly-expanded judicial authority.

I noted before that enclaves of medieval barbarity exist even in civilized society, such as behind the concrete walls of jails and prisons. Gladiator fights, gang rapes, and serial murders happen regularly in prisons, because it is known that there will be no consequences; prisoners, who have no real voice, are fair game for unspeakable brutalities, usually far worse than anything they committed. What has been most shocking for me to discover — in my lifetime of studying violence — is that even worse than what is occurring in prisons is happening to another group without a voice: children. An even more depraved world of savagery exists behind the self-imposed “court seals” and secrecy of the so-called “Family Courts.” And these innocent children committed no crime.

This is how it usually works: an overwhelming majority of women and children presenting to Family Court are victims of domestic abuse. They do not suspect that the abuse will escalate a thousandfold upon entry into Family Court, as they do not realize that Family Courts are a predatory enterprise. In any criminal court, an abuser’s lack of remorse would be punished, and his delusion (common in criminal psychology) that his accusers have mental problems or are trying to “alienate” the children from him would be nipped in the bud. In Family Court, however, this abuser pathology is precisely what is coddled, for it creates children who are “fair game.” Child theft, a crime warranting the death penalty in some states, is routine practice in Family Court, since stealing children from the loving parent and then “selling” them to the abuser is a lucrative, 50+ billion-dollar business of human trafficking and a modern-day slave trade. Whenever objections are raised, Family Courts can hide behind the narrative that it was merely a “contentious divorce” and those who complain are merely “unhappy litigants.” With one in four children subject to severe physical abuse, and one in five to sexual abuse — and over one million of them being processed through the Family Courts every year, pedophilic sex trafficking gangs operate along the lengths of the East and West Coasts (and I recently heard in the Midwest, also), waiting for Family Court-generated fodder.

I clarify that I have not verified the pedophilic sex rings myself, but insiders almost universally know about them: “a trafficking ring known as ‘the barber shops,’ a group that populates the corridor of I-95 across the country.” All that I know is that Family Courts have sent 100 percent of abused children to their abuser in the forty or so cases I have engaged in as an expert witness for the courts. About half of them, in my experience, are trafficked to others for sexual abuse, photographed, and videotaped, and there is no age limit: four-year-olds, three-year-olds, and even infants. It happens in broad knowledge of the Family Courts, since the loving parents continue to bring evidence — enough to convict in less than an hour in a criminal court — petitions, and pleas to the Courts, for which only they, and never the perpetrators, are punished. The abuser may rape, batter, and even murder the children they are granted custody of, but even after children die, there are no consequences in Family Court (instead, supervision, fines, and imprisonment are only applied to the loving parent). Indeed, studies now show how commonly Family Courts facilitate the murders of former partners or of children.

My sister’s own distorted divorce apprised me of the warped situation of the Family Courts. At first, she seemed to be undergoing a normal divorce, with her philandering husband deciding to leave to live with his girlfriend, because she was no longer “praising me enough.” Then, all of a sudden, he wanted custody of the children he never cared enough to spend five minutes with before (this is common, as the predatory Family Courts spot abusive personalities instantly and promise them that the children will be their “ticket” to financial windfalls through “child support,” all marital assets, the house, and legal fees — and indeed my brother-in-law has demanded six-figure “child support,” no alimony for his wife, the house, and all his legal fees). Sadistic personalities discover that, through Family Court, they can torture, imprison, and maybe even murder their ex-spouse with impunity — and indeed my brother-in-law attempted to “medically murder” my sister six times, three times in collusion with the Family Court. He also nearly killed his son by head injury, the way he did his daughter when she was an infant, and was on a temporary restraining order just before the court gave him sole custody. He has been duly diagnosed of psychopathy, which is a contraindication to parenting, but in Family Court this is all the more “qualification” to have the children!

A domestic violence victim who enters Family Court ceases having any Constitutional rights, any freedom, any right over her children, or any right over her past, current, and future earnings. Evelyn Nissirios, the “children’s guardian ad litem” is in place to ensure that the transfer of children occurs “smoothly” for herself (for the children, it is the most abrupt and brutally traumatic transfer imaginable, by police raid). The “judge”, Jane Gallina-Mecca, is there to force “appointed officers” on litigants and then to order their payment, liquidating assets at the rate of hundreds of thousands, if not millions. And to intimidate witnesses, they recruit school “principals” such as Michael Piacenza, who entrapped and then falsely arrested two physicians trying to report child abuse (the abusive father was caught on camera orchestrating the entire arrest behind the scenes at the school, during a mandatory conference from which the Family Court excused him but not the mother), and on another occasion falsely arrested the mother for doing routine volunteer work, as she had done the previous five years, without telling her that she was not allowed when he greeted her in the hallway or when he complimented her for her service (he was caught on camera lying to the police that there was a “court order,” when there was not, when the officer was unwilling to arrest her without one). There is also collusion with the Division of Child Protection and Permanency and the Child Abuse Hotline, which is why Family Courts are often referred to as organized crime, or a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) scheme. Below are my latest correspondences with the court:

Evelyn Nissirios — Here are Her Criminal Charges

Evelyn Nissirios — Here are Her Criminal Charges

Since a Shameful Board of Education is Still Sheltering a Serial Child Predator, I am Making Her Criminal Charges Public

I was informed that Saddle River community members confronted its Board of Education at a recent meeting about Evelyn Nissirios’ criminal charges, as explained in my recent article. However, the Board baldly “said nothing was currently happening” with regard to Nissirios and that “there are absolutely no wrongdoings.” This is despite my alerting them that their assertion that “none of the board members have been charged” is simply untrue. Community members therefore have asked me to provide evidence of her criminal charges. Here they are:

Of note, this is a citizen’s complaint for which the State instantly found probable cause — which is very significant, since usually a hearing is required. It means that they had evidence abounding enough to charge her criminally, without requiring the citizen to provide more information. In addition, this is only the first of at least a half-dozen complaints that are in process, soon possibly to be a dozen or more. More than three dozens of her victims have contacted me with very similar stories, and among the new charges being prepared are felonies of a very serious nature. And all this is without going into the lawsuits in process at the federal and state levels, as well as others that are in the planning stages, to be filed one after another.

Victims of Nissirios’ serial child abuse, torture, and pedophilic sex trafficking, as we have uncovered, are finally mobilizing to hold her accountable. Her lucrative “slave trade” of using the Family Courts to traffic children to their abusers — so that the children she abducts and isolates can in turn be passed around to other pedophiles or to be otherwise abused, while she helps shield their abusers from prosecution — will soon come to an end. She will learn that no one is above the law, and the “absolute judicial immunity” she has flaunted does not apply to felony crimes. Also, a campaign has begun to hold accountable Judge Jane Gallina-Mecca, who has been sheltering her from the Family Court side — and in just the first week, the petition gathered 200 signatures for her impeachment! One signer commented: “there is just an abundance of abuse of authority. It needs to STOP NOW.”

The Saddle River Board of Education should take notice. It communicated previously that it would not act unless she is criminally charged, and now she is. Will it keep its word? Criminal charges are often enough to disqualify professionals from renewing their medical or law license. Would a Board of Education insist on standards that are lower?

If institutions that should be screening, investigating allegations against, and holding responsible members who are committing egregious crimes — especially while in charge of the protection of children—are sheltering child predators instead, then the public needs to be alerted. The Saddle River Board, despite receiving numerous communications, reports, and medical evidence of Nissirios’ extreme abuse and harm of children — in ways that portend for them lifelong psychological and physical problems and will shorten their life expectancy by decades — has so far done everything possible only to shield and conceal her wrongdoings and nothing to investigate her. Her offenses are not just minuscule or benign to children, such as financial fraud — although we have uncovered that she engages in this, too — but concern the very endangerment and destruction of children.

Now that the Board is provided with her criminal charges, will it finally do something? Or will it find some other excuse to dodge the issue again?

I also recently learned that the newly-elected Board member, who was supposed to replace Nissirios, recently resigned. Why? What is wrong with this picture, where the candidate who was voted out remains, while the one the community wanted must leave? This fact alone wreaks of something extraordinarily foul. Community members had said before, regarding an out-of-control Board: “At least he will provide a watchful eye.” And now he is gone. If the Board continues to be recalcitrant, then the community should in my opinion prima facie call for the resignation of the entire Board.

*This is the eighteenth article informing of Evelyn Nissirios’ criminal acts of violence against children. As long as the child abuse, torture, rape, and battery continue wherever she goes, these articles will not end. Truth is not defamation, and this is information polite society needs to know, since it will be little prepared for dangerous pretenders in its midst. Nissirios not only needs to be criminally convicted, but her law license be stripped for committing serial felonies and covering up her crimes with misuse of judicial authority. The shameful Saddle River Board of Education, which has been protecting Nissirios by illegitimately keeping her on the Board — shockingly, even after the community voted her out — has now ousted the new member whom the community wanted to replace her. A Board of Education that does not protect children, but instead protects a child predator, could be held criminally responsible alongside her. All this will be part of a dramatic exposé being planned through multiple books, a documentary, and a television series. In the meantime, please also sign the petition to impeach Judge Jane Gallina-Mecca, so that children might be protected. Thank you!

Campaign to Impeach Judge Jane Gallina-Mecca

A Judge who Destroys Lives as a Sport Continues because She Can, and No One Has Held Her Accountable — until Now

What is worse than seeing your child taken to have inflicted against it the worst form of torture possible? Being taunted that this is for “the best interests of the child” — with an immense judicial authority to “fix” the case, so that the whole world not only does not believe you but turns against you. It is the reverse of the usual judicial process, where evidence guides decision making; here, the predetermined decision guides what “evidence” to concoct. The misnomer, “Family Court,” misleads the public into believing it is a court of law, even though it is in truth an Anti-Court and currently the worst crime cartel on U.S. soil. It commits the worst psychological crime against humanity, intended to break loving parents as the lives they gave birth to are destroyed before they can even bud. It comprises the most vicious and sadistic, evil act a human being can conceive of or commit. For the child, almost anything can be endured if a loving parent is by their side, but not only is one being sent to one’s torture, rape, and murder, but the loving parent is taken away. Hence, it kills a child’s soul before killing it physically, and even if one survives, one grows to become the walking dead. This brutality is being committed all across America and being exported to the rest of the world as a formula for human trafficking and a modern-day slave trade. The fact that the abuses of judicial authority and public trust are too extreme for the ordinary mind to grasp actually helps their perpetuation. Those with any heart either resign or are ousted from Family Court, and those who try to expose these atrocities are threatened if not killed. These are the methods of Judge Jane Gallina-Mecca, and now her victimized litigants are bravely rising up. They are determined to get her impeached. Please help their courageous efforts, and sign the below petition, at this link.

Petition to Impeach Judge Jane Gallina-Mecca

Started by M B

We are more than 30 mothers (and one father) who are in enormous pain, as our children have undeservedly become victims of a system that was designed to protect them. Judge Jane Gallina-Mecca of Bergen County, New Jersey, is at the epicenter of our grievance, as she has egregiously mismanaged each of our cases, resulting in our children being trafficked to their abusers. The Judge’s abuses of authority have created unimaginable horrors for many families.

It is said that the judiciary forms the backbone of our society, sworn to uphold justice and protect our rights. The Judge’s repeated failure to conduct thorough investigations, failure to hold violent abusers accountable, but rather rewarding them with sole custody of their victims, child support payments, and no obligations to the parent who raised these children has turned our lives into living nightmares.

The issues are not isolated and reflect a larger, egregious pattern of abuses of authority. We reached out to renowned forensic psychiatrist, Dr. Bandy X. Lee, M.D., who had the following to say:

“As a specialist in dangerous personalities, I must alert against a predatory personality pretending to be a judge and devouring the lives of innocent children and adults. She is running an exploitative operation of stealing children from healthy and successful parents to ‘sell’ them to their abusers, who are often their rapists, batterers, and attempted murderers. She seemingly drags out cases only to maximize harm and to induce ‘trauma bonding’ (separating children from their primary caregiver and isolating them in a life-or-death situation with their abuser, so that they cling helplessly to the latter to stay alive).

“Judicial immunity was never meant to be impunity. As an expert witness for the courts for twenty-five years, I have encountered hundreds of judges — but never have I met a judge so outlandish in treating everyone with disdain, who dehumanizes litigants to dangerous degrees, and who treats clear-cut evidence and qualified witnesses with such contempt. She shows respect for no fact or law that interferes with her ability to ‘fix’ her predetermined rulings and to perform what can only be described as show trials.”

We have been wrongly labeled as “disgruntled litigants,” but the desire to protect our children from destruction is only a natural response of loving parents. With great hope, we call on the New Jersey State Legislature to take immediate action, conduct a transparent investigation, and impeach the Judge if found guilty of these crimes. No judge should continue to preside over cases where she can commit atrocities against children and families and remain unaccountable to the law.

We implore fellow Bergen County residents, those affected by similar judicial negligence, and empathic citizens across the country to support us in our plight. Please sign this petition to help us remove this Judge from her position and to protect our children and families.

Please sign the critical above petition, at this link.

I believe I can speak for the litigants above, as my own sister had a case with the above judge (and Evelyn Nissirios, her principal “foot soldier”). My sister went from being a middle-class parent, lauded throughout the neighborhood and school for being “the best mom,” with her thriving, prodigy children at the pinnacle of health and happiness — to her jealous and murderously violent husband abruptly kidnapping them, under the auspices of a criminal “Family Court,” so that he could hold them hostage while extorting six-figure “child support.” The children immediately ceased to grow and are now six to eight inches shorter than the classmates they used to match, are wearing the same clothes for the last three years, and their hepatitis B-positive grandfather is cooking for them, whenever they get to eat (their father used to starve them, even as he ate). Yet, the model mother cannot gain access to medical, school, or “therapeutic” records and has not seen or heard from her children for three years, lest the father’s horrific maltreatment of them be exposed. He would not have dared to do any of this without the help of “Judge” Jane Gallina-Mecca — and yet her case is still better than most others, whose children get sent to their immediate sex trafficking, battery, and murder. This is why I call Family Court an “abuse industry,” where psychopathic, unfit “judges” continue to do with impunity what would warrant the death penalty in some states, if ever investigated. My sister’s divorce case supposedly ended six weeks ago, but Gallina-Mecca cannot issue an order because she knows that, once she does, she would be stepping on a landmine — as we will not let her get away. How many innocent lives has she condemned to death? Despite her draconian abuse of “court seals,” we already know about a half-dozen. The full number we will find out when she is removed from the bench and enters into discovery for her felony crimes.

Evelyn Nissirios — ‘Preemptive Violence’ is Her Modus Operandi

Evelyn Nissirios — ‘Preemptive Violence’ is Her Modus Operandi

Nissirios Could Not Get through One Occasion without Leaving Her Criminal Fingerprints

I apologize for the delay in giving my readers an update, even as you have been inundating me with inquiries!

First, I will say that the hearing on June 17, 2024, at Franklin Lakes Municipal Court went well, in that the court did not succeed in sabotaging the criminal charges against Evelyn Nissirios (I had concerns, since Family Courts are a criminal organization with judicial authority, which regularly obstruct justice) — and we acquired amazing footage for our documentary!

Second, please allow me to ask you to sign a petition to impeach the judge who has been protecting her: Petition to Impeach Judge Jane Gallina-Mecca. After more than three dozen victim litigants have contacted me, one of them has finally decided to lead the charge. In less than forty-eight hours, the petition garnered a hundred signatures! A large number of the victims have both Gallina-Mecca and Nissirios in common, as these must co-conspire for their felonious crimes — which is also why they cannot have independent, outside experts but must choose from their own (in my sister’s case, once the one psychiatrist Nissirios had recused himself, she could not find a single alternative psychiatrist among almost a thousand psychiatrists in New Jersey for two and a half years!).

Third, I wish to thank all of you who came to the hearing! There was a crowd in the courtroom, even though most did not attend, since Nissirios would recognize them, but quite a few bravely appeared. Most came afterward, and we held our first gathering at a discreet location outside, and then a second gathering at a secret location indoors. All of us told our stories confidentially, without identifying information, but the magnitude, consistency, and pervasiveness of her crimes became very stark. So did Gallina-Mecca’s: we learned that she regularly denies or tampers with transcripts, regularly backdates and inserts nonexistent orders, and regularly traumatizes litigants in the courtroom with her temper tantrums and outbursts. And Nissirios, who always sides with the violent abuser, be they rapists, batterers, or attempted murderers — this is her designated “task” — almost always tells the child she has abducted that their loving parent has abandoned them and no longer loves them. Several more of her victims joined us than I previously knew, raising the toll.

Finally, as many of you know, in my twenty-five years practicing forensic psychiatry, I have worked with dangerous street gangs and the most violent individuals society produces. I often do risk assessments and dangerous personality disorder detection for criminal courts — and Nissirios has all the signature traits of a violent criminal. Indeed, she gets away with what she does, only because her crimes are too heinous for ordinary society to be able to believe, and she does not fit the popular imagination of what a psychopathic predator looks like. However, her countenance is changing (eventually, for the seasoned evaluator, the hideous crimes she is committing will be written all over her face).

Someone has recently asked regarding her deeds: “How can this be happening? Where is the Department of Justice?” Their absence, not wishing to be involved in “complicated” family matters, is one of the reasons the heist has gotten this far; it is about time they get involved, and as an expert witness I can say, these cases are not complicated at all — they are very simple and very uniform. The evidence is as clear-cut as can be, as is their transparent criminal psychology in attempting to dilute evidence so as to reverse victim and offender. Their style of kangaroo courts and show trials are also well-known from totalitarian regimes. Indeed, the moment the Department of Justice, or any other investigative entity free from Family Court meddling gets involved, one look will lay bare their criminality for all to see, as it is so extreme.

Nissirios herself cannot pass even one occasion without leaving her criminal fingerprints. Here is what happened: we had a documentarian sitting in a car, since he would not be allowed in the courthouse without permission. He was a temporary substitute, since our usual documentarian was occupied that day. Nissirios had a friend with a New York license plate abruptly come up to him, take his picture without permission, and report him to the police, as if he were doing something wrong. The police came by and took his name and other identifying information. What was the need for this? It is only the act of a desperately paranoid criminal, trying to incriminate another to deflect from her own crimes. I have witnessed enough of Nissirios to know that this is her modus operandi — she abuses the police to strike, harass, and falsely arrest innocent parents preemptively all the time, to make sure they are intimidated and caught off guard. However, for me, this is more valuable evidence of a guilty, criminal mind. If she threatens the documentarian at all, I will nail her. She did this when victim informants confidentially gave reports about a violent offender — by revealing their confidential identities to the violent offender, so that he could retaliate against them!

The clerk at Franklin Lakes Municipal Court reassured me that she would not tamper with or alter any criminal charges already entered. Hence, we fully expect to have the charges to be heard properly in criminal court, where they could be elevated to the felonies that they are.

*This is the seventeenth of articles informing of criminal acts of violence against children by Evelyn Nissirios. As long as the child abuse, torture, rape, and battery continue under her criminal co-conspiracy with other violent offenders, these articles will not end. She not only needs to be criminally convicted, but her law license be stripped for committing serial felonies and destruction of children. For this, the criminal court must be carefully watched, so that it does not illegally tamper with the charges against her upon Family Court meddling, which is bound to occur. The Saddle River Board of Education, which has been protecting Nissirios, has also been placed on notice, or they will be implicated in her crimes. This shameful Board is criminally neglecting its responsibility to protect children and colluding to shield a child predator, whatever profit she is bringing it. I has already kept her on illegitimately, after the community voted her out. All these incredible realities will be recorded for the dramatic exposé we have planned through three separate books, a documentary, and a television series. In the meantime, please sign the petition to impeach Judge Jane Gallina-Mecca , the judge protecting and co-conspiring in Nissirios’ crimes (and who will without doubt reach out to try to influence the criminal court illegally, as is her own modus operandi!).

My Letter to the Judge on One of 160 Children per Day Sacrificed in Family Court

My Letter to the Judge on One of 160 Children per Day Sacrificed in Family Court — in a Modern-Day Slave Trade

This Judge is Poised to Put the Mother in Jail — for Trying to Protect Her Child from Sexual Abuse

Honorable Judge Jimenez:

I am a forensic psychiatrist and expert on violence with twenty-five years of experience treating violent offenders, in addition to serving as an expert witness in approximately 200 criminal and civil court cases, of which approximately 35 were in family court. I taught at Yale School of Medicine and Yale Law School for seventeen years before transferring to Harvard Medical School, where I am a faculty member of the Harvard Program in Psychiatry and the Law. I am president of the World Mental Health Coalition and cofounder of the Violence Prevention Institute. I have consulted with the World Health Organization (WHO) since 2002 and helped coauthor the United Nations Secretary-General’s chapter on “Violence against Children” in 2007.

I am also a mandated reporter. I am currently writing to you because [a New Jersey child] is in danger of being murdered by her father.

What I am seeing is a repetitive pattern in family court and with Child Protective Services (CPS): there is a clear-cut pattern of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse by one parent — usually the father, as in this case — and custody is taken from the safe and loving parent and given to the abuser. This is why statistics show that up to 20 percent of child murders by parent may be reduced if there were no family court involvement. This is also why there are almost a thousand child murders in just sixteen years, in relation to family court. A Department of Justice-sponsored study showed that, if all family court decisions were reversed, they would be more correct (that is, safer for children). A detailed study in 2017 of 175 child murders by fathers showed that family courts in many cases had given the access or sole custody the fathers needed to murder their children.

No doubt Your Honor is aware of the abysmal CPS records, to the point where there are calls for abolition — not because child protection is not needed, but because errors are overwhelming, and in my experience, whenever family court is involved, they do more harm than if there were no CPS. The Division of Child Protection and Permanency (DCPP) itself had to change its name from CPS in 2012 because of excessive scandals, and my understanding is that statistics have still not improved since.

There are three well-established facts in the research literature:

1. Child abuse is very common, including sexual abuse (1 in 5 children, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).

2. Child abuse is underreported, not overreported (false reporting was found in about 0.1 percent, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and mothers almost never falsely report).

3. Family Courts and CPS working with Family Courts often work to “turn tables” against the reporter of abuse — turning the perpetrator into victim, and the victim into perpetrator — to the point where it has become a global crisis. In 2023, the United Nations Human Rights Council issued a report, warning that grave human rights violations were occurring for women and children who enter family courts, because of this tendency to “reverse victim and offender,” by denying the existence of abuse.

I have outlined my medical findings in the attached, earlier letter. There is little room for uncertainty or doubt in my medical conclusion that [New Jersey child] is being sexually and physically abused by her father — of which there is copious medical documentation — and protected by her mother, who is by all collateral accounts not only a safe mother but an exceptionally loving and talented one. There is also little to no probability that the mother is “alienating” or “coaching” the child, which not only does not work but is a common fantasy associated with delusional abuser psychology, not with scientific evidence-supported reality.

Please save this child’s life. A father who batters her to the point of making marks and lacerations, who sexually abuses her to the point of making her vagina red and painful, and who chokes her to get back at the mother for reporting his abuse, is eminently capable of killing her. When family courts and CPS workers side with and enable abusers, they do not remain the same. They become much more extreme in their violence and more capable of killing their children, their ex-spouses, and themselves. These are dangerous individuals. If they make threats for not getting what they want, they should be referred to criminal court, which are better equipped to deal with violent personalities and do not get caught in “framing” the victim instead.

I and those who care about the imminent safety of this child are relying on Your Honor to make the right decision, based on a child’s human right to live, and to live in safety. Thank you for your concern, and please do not hesitate to contact me for any reason.

Respectfully submitted,

Bandy Lee, M.D., M.Div.
