This is What Genocide Looks Like

The Way the Greatest Violence Occurs Not in Wars and Mass Shootings but Hidden in Families, the Largest Genocide is Occurring beneath Our Awareness, through Family Courts

How did Family Courts become the global epicenter of human rights abuses, torture, mayhem, and murder? The formula is simple: too much power in the hands of personalities who cannot handle it. We see the abuses occurring in the U.S. Supreme Court, but Family Courts are worse. Family Courts in the U.S., unlike any other court, are given absolute authority over families, unbound by oversight or law. They can incarcerate without due process, bail, or even statement of reason. They operate with total impunity, in the absence of scrutiny or checks and balances. At the same time, they are “the bottom of the totem pole,” “the sewer of the judicial system,” and a “cesspool”, in the words of lawyers and judges themselves. No one wishes to be in the Family Courts or to find out what goes on in them: “Family judges are a tight-knit group [that will not let us in], but we are only happy that somebody is doing the dirty work,” one judge told me. Indeed, for those who do their job correctly, it is a lot of complicated work without gratitude (much like housework) or recognition of how dangerous it can be (much like domestic violence). One in three women will experience rape, battery, and/or stalking by their partner, and one in four children experience child abuse or neglect by at least one parent. Forty to 50 percent of first marriages will end in divorce, and roughly one in two children experience the divorce of their parents. The cases that come before Family Courts are still more complicated, and child custody disputes overwhelmingly involve domestic violence and child abuse. A judge can either choose to do the work correctly at great risk, hardship, and isolation, or join the organized crime cartel that “Family Courts” have become, targeting the “easy victims” of domestic abuse for their lucrative trade of child theft, child sex trafficking, and child pornography production. Given the poor quality of Family Court judges — often more ignorant than the families they preside over and all too contemptuous of human life — the choices they are making are obvious. They are reflected in the sheer body count, not to mention the usurpation of life even in those who survive. As a result, millions of children and loving mothers (and some loving fathers) in the U.S. alone are undergoing their hidden, personal Holocaust. Here is just one firsthand account:

Dear Dr. Bandy Lee,

I write to you with sincere gratitude, tears rolling down my face. Only other Protective Mothers have believed my story. You state the reality that has destroyed my life and that of my daughter. And then there are even those Protective Mothers who fight me. Crab in a bucket. It can not be, you see, that some of us fight back not just for our kids and ourselves — but for others….

[M]y life ended when my daughter was taken from me by a SWAT team and deported to the man who molested her in exchange for food. She testified about this over and over again. She was betrayed over and over again and subsequently so was I, by the very legal institutions who pledged to protect us.

Once she was taken from me (2014), I never saw her again. Her father, his attorney, her “therapist”, his family and friends turned her inside out. She was the sweetest strongest girl. She became as mean as they come. And has learned to blame me for it all. They have turned my daughter in to a weapon. Kamikaze; self-destructing now. And she broadcasts it all every day on her social media. Even paints her face like Clockwork Orange. It is her life’s mission to assist her late father in destroying me. He died, you see. Seven years ago. And this is how she now expresses her loyalty to him in the afterlife.

The betrayal of my own child who begged me to protect her; I cannot explain to you how this is gutting me. More so than the betrayal of her “father” and the “courts”. So many people ask me how she is doing. How do I even begin to explain these dynamics: this ultimate betrayal, this Dr. Mengele style MK ultra trauma-bond mind-controlled soul harvesting?

So I find myself in an upside down reality. It’s like an endless loop-dee-loop train ride in an evil clown world. As I look at my watch, hoping I’m nearing the end of this horrendous journey, trying to rescue as many children and protective mothers as I can with my team along the way, I cannot help but wonder why. Maybe some entities in some other dimension are wringing their hands with glee over the success of their cruel fishbowl experiment. History is paved on such torture after all. Humanity has learned nothing whatsoever.

To be honest I have lost all my faith. No one and nothing intervenes. I am only still here because I know there are others like you, like me, who dare to see it and who get it and who fight back.

You might as well swim upstream in this avalanche of razorbladed sewage to at least try and close the spigot. After all, what is there to lose when you have already been robbed of it all. Every breath is my resistance.

You are appreciated. Thank you for being you.

How Many Children will Jane Gallina-Mecca Sacrifice before She is Held Accountable?

The Trail of Dead Bodies Family Courts Leave behind Call for Limits on ‘Judicial Immunity’

Perhaps the most shocking experience of my twenty-five-year career as a psychiatrist and an expert on violence is the discovery that more than 58,000 children per year are knowingly being sent to their torture and death by the Family Courts. If I and other health professionals spend our lifetimes trying to protect human life, to safeguard each child and to heal adults from childhood trauma, while trying to prevent intergenerational transmissions of trauma, what is all our work for, if just the known Court-facilitated murders are reaching one thousand children? This is without counting suicides, which are just as many, or “soul murders,” which may reach a million in the same period. The anguish does not stop with the children, since they are usually forcibly extracted from their loving parent and stable home, to be given to their abuser. Extended family and other adults who love the children may also be affected by their gruesome sacrifice. Those who have been through Family Court learn that no amount of objections by loving adults matter. No amount of evidence matters. Efforts to stop the violence only backfires, since judges like Jane Gallina-Mecca know exactly what they are doing and what they can get away with.

Since domestic violence means that children and women are at the frontlines against the most violent perpetrators society produces, serving as its conduit means facilitating the most horrific human atrocities conceivable, but also the most lucrative returns. As much as Family Courts try to hide their criminal acts through “court seals,” “gag orders,” and attacks on the press, studies are now showing that the loving parent, usually the mother, all too often commits suicide, dies instantly from “broken heart syndrome,” or more slowly from other stress-related diseases, such as cancer. This is unsurprising, for what is more unbearable than for a loving parent to lose one’s child to an abuser? It is a fate worse than death, of which physical demise is only a natural consequence. Even if they do not die, they are usually rendered destitute, homeless, and incarcerated, for the goal of Family Court is to decimate the credibility, and even the capacity, of victims to become witnesses of their judicial violence.

While criminal courts must abide by the law and strict rules of procedure, Family Courts are not only a secret but a lawless land, where the judge can put anyone in jail without due process, bail, or even cause. Therefore, many have acquired the habit of incarcerating innocent persons, destroying their businesses, and ruining their professional careers, rather than let them be witnesses against the judges’ profit-driven, predetermined verdicts (which, in my experience, is 100 percent to reward the children to the abusive parent, regardless of proof or even criminal conviction of that parent).

Gallina-Mecca arrested me and a world-renowned, elderly physician for trying to report child abuse, based on secret “court orders” that no one has seen — not even the prosecutor — and when the world-renowned physician and I submitted multiple requests to see the orders, she became apoplectic, calling our request “bald” and “insupportable”. She cited “the safety and protection of the minor children” as her reason for refusing to allow us even to see the orders that caused our arrests, but the children’s “safety and protection” does not explain her prohibiting the children from seeing a psychiatrist, as their pediatrician recommended upon confirming abuse; does not explain her closing down three Child Protective Services cases against the abusive father, by allowing him to have full access to their records during their active investigations against him; and does not explain her blocking the mother from having any access to school or medical records, once she learned that her children missed one-half of school and ceased growing since the custody transfer. Her abuses of judicial authority were so apparent to the prosecutor, my charges were promptly thrown out, and the hearing lasted less than ten minutes.

Family Courts are the equivalent of an institution mounting a sign saying it is a hospital, but upon entering one recognizes that it is actually a slaughterhouse. If one discovered a hospital doing this, one could leave, report the horrors, hold the “caregivers” accountable, and — most importantly — survive. Family “Courts” do not allow this; once a litigant enters, one is trapped, cannot report, will be retaliated against if one actually sought justice, and — most tragically — too many die. All this is made possible because the structure of Family Courts is like a dictatorship and proceedings are kept secret, while the judge controls the “evidence”, has no jury, has the power to disbar lawyers who do not please her, oust players who do not go along, and have no accountability whatsoever (the only oversight is other judges, who have been found to protect one another instead).

Thus, Family Courts go far beyond imprisoning “kids for cash” to running a child slave trade that brings in 50 to 175 billion dollars a year for the Courts alone (what abusers make and “pay back” for their custody reward — through child sex trafficking and child pornography production — is harder to quantify, but these activities are rampant enough for me to see them in roughly half the Family Court cases I come to examine in detail as an expert witness). Insiders know how bad it is, and I know of judges who were removed for not going along and family lawyers who quit law altogether, finding the practice too revolting. I recently heard from a therapist who stated of Family Courts: “I can honestly say these were the worst cases I experienced in my therapeutic role, leaving me feeling completely disempowered and helpless.”

The level of depravity and disdain for human life, indeed, is unimaginable. I became acquainted with Family Courts not through my career as a forensic psychiatrist — Family Courts regularly shun real experts — but through my sister’s horrific divorce. Yet, countless others reaching out to me since my articles, three dozen of them under Gallina-Mecca, reveal that my sister’s situation is far from the worst. These reports include multiple murders, child rape, battery requiring hospitalization, and other sacrifices of children and mothers by removing permanent protective orders, refusing to give protective orders until mothers are killed, falsely accusing innocent parents without evidence or due process, and falsely “exonerating” violent perpetrators, all so that children could be “sold” to their abusers — and I have never seen such contempt for the Law as in Family Court.

I do not know what has happened to my niece and nephew, since no adult who previously cared for them has been allowed access to them for almost three years. Gallina-Mecca gave their sole custody to the abusive father, who was on a protective order for almost killing each of them by head injury, and who tried to abscond with them after stealing their passports We only learned of their repeated emergency room visits, orthopedic injuries that went neglected for months, and oral surgeries because of dental neglect. Even this information is from a year ago, since there has been a complete overhaul of providers, and the mother cannot even know whom the children are seeing. Most recently, there were records that he was in Mexico, but she cannot even confirm if he took the children. In this manner, loving mothers who raise their children successfully — in my sister’s case for their first ten happy, healthy, and thriving years — are shut out of the children’s lives altogether, so that the abusive parent Family Court favors can charge child support (in my sister’s case, 100,000 dollars per year), demand his legal fees, keep the house, pay no alimony, and incarcerate the mother if she cannot pay. This near-identical “playbook” is applied to tens of thousands of Family Court cases per year, all across America, regardless of specific circumstances.

Here are the generic players in my sister’s case:

‘Child Therapist’ Barbara Maurer

As the Family Court-mandated children’s “therapist”, she charged the highest rates the mother has ever seen, with barely a non-social work master’s degree. Since the mother is well-versed in psychology and the daughter of a child psychology professor, she recognized that Ms. Maurer was not performing anything remotely resembling therapy. Yet, she could not reach her; she would not return calls, whereas any message from the father was answered within minutes. The children, who were suicidal because of the father’s abuse, became acutely more suicidal following each session. Finally, when the children refused her “therapy”, she locked them in her office and traumatized them. I reported her to her licensing board, which adjudged her guilty and removed her — only for the Family Court to mandate the children to another “therapist” — this time, sealing the identity of the new “therapist”.

‘Guardian ad litem’ Evelyn Nissirios

More brutal than a street gangster, that this “children’s” guardian ad litem from the start worked only for “the best interests” of the monied child predator was apparent from the degree to which she had to lie — almost 350 documented times on the record. When the children asked to talk outside the earshot of their father, who threatened them with police and jail if they said the “wrong” thing, she refused. When the children started vomiting and becoming immobile with panic before visiting, in their words, “the scariest person” with a “black heart,” she increased their time with him. When these children started injuring themselves, and tried to set the house on fire because going to their father was “torture” and “worse than death,” she wholesale helped him kidnap them via violent police raid. Now, he has the children full-time, and the mother has not seen or heard from them in almost three years. In order to achieve this illegal “custody switch,” Nissirios buried suicide notes, attempts to set the house on fire in protest, emergency room visits for suicide attempts, emergency follow-up visits after suicide attempts, and letters to the Court asking to fire her, so as to crush their voices and hand them over to a man who nearly killed each of them on different occasions.

‘Judge’ Jane Gallina-Mecca

That the Family Court “judge” was the orchestrator of these crimes is obvious from her multiple, extrajudicial meddling with providers, Child Protective Services, the school, and even with criminal courts. She also endlessly appointed needless “court actors,” simply to increase the number of people parroting her false narrative. This included a guardian ad litem for the mother, Linda Schofel — despite nine psychiatrists and doctorate psychologists unanimously stating that the mother did not need a guardian ad litem, whereas the father was deemed dangerous and unfit to parent. When two forensic psychiatrists tried to make a legally-mandated report of child abuse, she arrested them, in a form of witness intimidation. She also engaged in attempts to obstruct justice, tampered with physical evidence when she ordered a medical report destroyed, and fabricated false “evidence” when she stonewalled nine psychiatric experts whom she could not strongarm into reporting the way she wanted — instead, she only acknowledged an unqualified, unlicensed “associate counselor,” Tara Devine, who would. Also involved was pediatrician Karen Wu, who retracted her statement that the children are being abused and falsified her medical records to match. When no true psychiatric expert would render an “assessment” to her liking, Gallina-Mecca even suggested that the mother be blindfolded and taken by chaperone to a third, clandestine location to see a no-name “psychiatrist” of Gallina-Mecca’s choice, whose identity and credentials would never be revealed, even to the mother’s lawyer!

The Father

Gallina-Mecca and Nissirios probably recognized immediately that the father of this case has a criminal psychology they could exploit. They enticed him to hire them and to follow their instructions. Thus, he changed from planning to move out of the house immediately to lead a single’s life with his mistress, to kidnapping the children after having been an absentee father all their lives. He was no doubt told that he could have everything, as long as he warehoused the children and concealed the evidence of his abuse, which would allow him to “reverse victim and offender,” making the mother the “abuser” — but this has not worked out entirely well. Their strategy was to break her down, but medical evidence kept piling up of her “excellent mental health” and “exceptional talent” in parenting, while the children were constantly injured under his “care”, and six highly-credentialed psychiatrists and doctorate psychologists declared him a danger to them. What Gallina-Mecca and Nissirios did not tell him was that he would get more and more mired in criminal culpability such that, in order to avoid prosecution, he would have to continue to hemorrhage his funds. Meanwhile, multiple organizations and Constitutional experts are watching this case, simply waiting for a verdict. Gallina-Mecca herself has not been scheduling a trial since July 26, 2023, but unable to move forward to this day. Even this father, a corporate lawyer and student of Alan Dershowitz, who attempted to murder his wife six times, twice with the hired help of the Gallina-Mecca/Nissirios duo, is about to learn that crime does not pay. He may have wiggled himself out of financial fraud schemes (while his former boss was fined 38 million dollars), but this time he will not. Criminal charges are being brought against him, appeals are being prepared, and we will go to the Supreme Court if we must, but most important of all is the court of public opinion. He will soon become the reason there is exposure of the Family Court system as a criminal cartel that disassembles children and women, that not only needs an overhaul but requires an immediate moratorium and the stripping of all illicitly-abused “immunity”.

In the Words of Family Court Victims

As with All Genocides, Victims are Decimated, Obliterated, and Rendered Unable to Speak; a Few, However, Do

Since my speaking out about the violence of the Family Courts, many have written to me that I have helped change the discourse. They say I have elucidated it as an institutional and cultural problem, where honest people are ousted and the most criminally-minded personalities remain (indeed, if we rounded up all Family Court judges, I would not be surprised if the vast majority turned out to be crooks; it is a decades-long selective process). Family Courts as an industry exist to help the violent crooks, rapists, and murderers of society get their way. Hiding beneath the veneer of a legitimate court, Family Courts render innocent victims infinitely more vulnerable than if Family Courts did not exist, for they give the perpetrators “legal” cover, disabling law enforcement, child protection, and every other measure society has put in place to protect against this very kind of violence. That they would meet the modern definition of genocide was astonishing to me, but they also meet the definition of a modern-day slave trade and child sex trafficking, with extensive links to child pornography production. That just about all child abuse cases that come before Family Courts are at risk of this kind of exploitation, knowing how common child abuse is, is not only heinous but perilous for society. I became known as a truth teller throughout my career, whether it is about the immorality of the Iraq War, the dangerousness of Donald Trump, or the organized criminal activity of the Family Courts. I will not stop speaking, and whereas I cannot take all the cases that come to me as an expert witness (I cannot even keep up with writing about all the cases that come to me in connection to just one guardian ad litem), public exposure can be a powerful force of accountability — and perhaps the only means of reforming a rogue branch of the Courts.

Below are just two letters among dozens of similar ones that have recently arrived to me:

Dearest Bandy,

I would really like to reach out and thank you for your incredible article on [the genocide in family courts]. The first of its kind. It’s enormously validating. You are clearly the perfect combination of knowledge and professional skill.

I’m the victim of a psychopath who acted as a vampire of my own life for 20 years — and then he got hold of family court.

I’m alive but barely surviving with CPTSD (complex posttraumatic stress disorder) diagnosed and a list of horrors behind me. His façade nearly came tumbling down when he used arson, and the media caught wind. A forensic psychiatrist I met has told me I’m lucky to be alive. He is a sadistic psychopath. The covert charming, visibly successful type.

Now, back here in New Zealand, he sits pretty with an income of $850K, has got away with all his (many) crimes against me, and I live on $0.

I moved abroad the day I graduated, lived and worked in America where my career was beginning an exciting trajectory for a decade alone — until he, a fellow NZ’er landed on my doorstep. He had nothing, was nothing. I was trusting and naive.

Now, life has reversed into a downward slide. Somehow though my kids — saw through him and the court, and as rare as it is — are in my full-time care. Now teenagers. The family court has nevertheless ensured I am punished forever. I barely function. I’ve been on highest dose of sertraline meds for 6 years (and reacted with bruising/hemorrhagic). I’m on minuscule dose now by need. I can’t afford to see a psychiatrist anymore. I have EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) trauma clinical psychology treatments weekly, but it’s too painful. There is too much to process. What do I do? Can I work in the field with my lived experience?… I want to help others to help me. I believe victims have a chance to change the world as we know it, given the right foundation and opportunities. I want to use my skills and lived experience too.

The validation I feel from your article is the only thing that makes me feel someone understands. Your words are like my life story. But I’m clinging on.

What do I do now? I’d like to be involved as a research subject, anything. To give me reason and meaning to share my story. To help vindicate myself from what has been living hell. To lift myself out of the silence and burden of not being believed. Of course it’s too hard to believe for most people. I live in Auckland, NZ, and in the same industry as my ex. The world has become tiny….

Have you any ideas?… I’m 49 and not getting any younger. My babies only see the shell of me left. It was no easy feat to get to the position I was in with my career. I worked for internationally reputable companies in the field of innovation and design. I was a lone woman in a male-dominated profession….

Please keep sharing publicly what you know of the court system. I have horrendous evidence of how I was treated. I want to use my experience to help others. To bring down the family court. To find ways out of this dark hole where society shuns us as having done something to deserve this fate. Medically speaking, I’d be okay if I had some power and agency back. If I could use my brain again and reconnect the broken pathways. I want him to know he has not annihilated me. But for now I remain in isolation. Severely wounded and unable to recover myself.

Feel free to share my email and contact details if anyone wants to collaborate or connect for professional or clinical support. How I wish there was a global consortium for victims who have access to your skill set and knowledge base. To not only speak about us, but to help us.

Thank you for listening.

Kindest Regards,
M.C.

Good day.

I have been searching the internet, local agencies, resources, and anything I can find to help me and my son in what we are going through and came across your articles about family courts. I am so gaslit by this situation and the sea of cognitive dissonance of our society makes people blind to what is taking place in the court system. I am a mental health therapist, I have never been in legal trouble or struggled with substance abuse, etc. But I had my custody taken away and given to my abusive ex-husband who has testified to abusing both his kids.

There is a lot to it, but there has been exactly what you are reporting on, with CPS (Child Protective Services), with local police involvement. I am trying to write it all out, and I stare sometimes and want to vomit. I see a therapist for CPTSD (complex posttraumatic stress disorder), and I have propranalol for chest pain, but everything you’re saying is so real and I’m witnessing it myself, and I don’t know what I can do.

I have [Judge in Michigan], and she just recused herself for impropriety, and now I have [another Judge in Michigan] whom I have not been in front of, but the things that have happened make my skin crawl. It is an abusive and gaslighting system that supports the same, and I am just looking for some kind of credible information/resources/help in this. It is absolutely wild how criminals instantly get an attorney and victims of violence and abuse get nothing.

Thank you for your articles…. I’ve been reading article after article of what you are writing, and it is exactly what I have experienced and am still experiencing. The feeling I have had in all of this is like they are trying to drive me crazy, but I am refusing to go down. I am representing myself in court [before Judge in Michigan], but now that she’s recused herself after I presented her with evidence and asked her to read it,… there was already an appeal won against [her] in this case by the same appellate attorney that won against her in [another] case, but she retaliated and doubled down.

I have been documenting everything, even the police told me to at one point. I have medical records, I have his dad telling him to shoot himself with a gun, as noted by the [University] staff when my son was already in the hospital for suicide. He was released to his dad’s custody after that, regardless, and he took him gun shopping immediatelly after his discharge.

It is not easy to represent myself in this case but on the other hand, I have nothing to lose. Other attorneys might be scared of their reputation but I’m not afraid to expose the court system. This case was featured in continuing education for lawyers in Michigan, and CPS withheld evidence from the court, evidence I still have and have been introducing since. [My psychologist] recommended I read Truth and Repair by Judith Herman.

I really appreciate you speaking out about this, more than I can put into words. It is the first time I have found anything or anyone that understands exactly what is happening, and it really gave me a lot of hope and willpower to keep fighting this, because I can show what happened, with evidence, step by step. I was a preschool teacher over a decade ago, before I became a therapist, and I feel like this could help kids. I worry constantly that he will kill my son before I am able to fight this more, or that fighting this more will make him kill him, but I know sitting in silence is not the answer, and your articles and efforts have really helped instill hope in me.

Thank you again,

M.B.

Evelyn Nissirios — Child Trafficking, Pedophilic Sex Rings, and Satanic Cults

Evelyn Nissirios — Child Trafficking, Pedophilic Sex Rings, and Satanic Cults

I Had Stopped Writing about Nissirios, Not Because of a Lack of Stories, but Because of Too Many

Here are some other titles I was too overwhelmed to pursue:

Evelyn Nissirios — ‘She and Her Cronies are a Bunch of Thugs’

A Protective Parent Upends Her Life in Order to Save It

A “protective parent” is called such in relation to Family Court because she (and sometimes he) will be the only person trying to protect a child, against a mammoth of a Court system intent on harming and destroying the child — and destroying the protective parent who is in the way. A “resource curse,” we used to call it when I worked in Africa; the “hot commodities” here are the children. “It was like meeting Godfather — with all these backroom deals going on!” said a protective parent who, upon learning what Evelyn Nissirios was about, decided that the only solution for protecting herself was to quit her high-powered profession, leave all family and friends, and move to another, more rural region of the country. One used to hear of families in Mexico doing this after they became targets of drug cartels. Here, the drug cartels are the Family Courts, for which Nissirios is the henchwoman….

Evelyn Nissirios — ‘I Wanted to Ask Her, How do You Live with Yourself?’

I Tried to Explain: ‘She does Not See It that Way — All that Matters is Power and Money’

This mother simply could not understand: “Evelyn Nissirios has a daughter,” she said. “How would she like it if a total stranger came, claimed to know her child better than she [after a fifteen-minute interview], and go all of a sudden from one night a week to 50 percent custody? My daughter was vomiting and considering suicide!” Nissirios knows very well what she is doing — which is why she acts as judge, jury, and executioner, not to mention parenting coordinator, custody evaluator, and surrogate parent — not allowing the real parent a word in edgewise — as she decides the child’s fate as a mere “guardian ad litem.” In one case, she claimed to know better than ten nationally-renowned psychiatrists who reported that the mother was fit and five world-renowned psychiatrists who warned that the father was dangerously unfit and should not parent (she gave the children to the sole custody of the father). In this case, the father had been convicted of sexual assault, and these are the cases, in my experience, that Nissirios must all the more rapidly “reunite”, so that the abuser she is serving does not lose advantage. Inevitably, signs of continued abuse will surface, the child will protest or deteriorate, and the 50–50 custody turns into 100–0 custody for the abuser. Nissirios’ daughter will not go through such a fate — after all, that is the purpose of hoarding power — but her innate emptiness, which leads her to believe that she must harm in order not to be harmed, will of course transmit to her child….

It is therefore not surprising that, one of these days, I would encounter:

Evelyn Nissirios — Child Trafficking, Pedophilic Sex Rings, and Satanic Cults

In the Darkest Recesses of Humanity where Evelyn Nissirios Operates, Anything is Possible

It should not have been so surprising, amid a deluge of reports, that I would eventually learn that Evelyn Nissirios, too, has facilitated or at least overlooked the above.

Highly credible litigants have reported them, and the stories are consistent with other cases I have verified. They are also consistent with the dangerous personality traits I have identified in Nissirios, in that she would be capable of almost any kind of harm and exceptionally derive pleasure from it.

It may be shocking for the reader to learn that I regularly witness child sex trafficking in relation to Family Court: in about half the cases where the Courts have handed children to their abusers, the abusers in turn traffic the children, either to their own circle of pedophilic family and friends, or to pedophilic gangs (these gangs operate along the entire East and West Coasts, I am told, waiting for Family Court-generated “fodder”). It is our modern-day slave trade, and I believe one of the reasons why Family Courts, almost without exception, give custody of children to abusers: it is the difference between loss of profit and making up to 175 billion dollars per year. It makes Family Courts, described by reputable lawyers as “the sewer” of the judicial system, also more lucrative than all the other courts combined.

Whereas the State of New Jersey has accepted criminal charges against her — an amazing feat in itself — I fear that our criminal justice system is yet incapable of dealing with so sprawling and profitable an enterprise of, essentially, organized crime. Nevertheless, it is destroying families and children, responsible for a large portion of the 75 percent of women who are killed by their partners following separation (taking their children is one means by which they maintain access and contact), and helping abusers to murder one child every six days. Public awareness, which Family Courts have aggressively abused their authority to prevent — through “gag orders” and “court seals” — may be the only avenue for reform.

Without witnessing so regularly myself, I would have considered pedophilic sex rings as part of a “conspiracy theory.”

Ever since the term ‘conspiracy theory’ was first popularised by the philosopher Sir Karl Popper in the 1950s, conspiracy theories have had a bad reputation. To call a theory ‘a conspiracy theory’ is to imply that it is false, and that the people who believe it or who would like to investigate it (i.e. ‘conspiracy theorists’) are irrational. Conspiracy theories are widely held to be not only false and the products of irrationality, but also to be particularly harmful; hence they are widely thought of as a problem, which might be solved, or at least mitigated, through the intervention of social scientists, psychologists, and even philosophers. The problem is typically thought of as being of quite recent origin, or at any rate, one which has recently been getting worse, especially in the age of COVID-19 when conspiracy theories are routinely spoken of as a threat to public safety and even to democracy itself.

I think all of this is mistaken. Conspiracy theories are not a new or growing problem. In fact, conspiracy theories, as such, are not a problem at all. Contrary to conventional wisdom we do not have a problem with conspiracy theories; we do, however, have a problem with the term ‘conspiracy theory’, along with related terms, such as ‘conspiracy theorist’, ‘conspiracism’, and ‘conspiracist ideation’, and this problem really is quite new and increasingly widespread. The emergence and spread of a term has been conflated with the emergence and spread of a phenomenon to which that term putatively refers. As a society we have made a use-mention error; the spread of a piece of language has wrongly been taken for the spread of something corresponding to it in the world.

The bad reputation of conspiracy theories is puzzling. After all, people do conspire. That is, they engage in secretive collective behaviour which is illegal or morally questionable. Conspiracies are common in all societies throughout history, and have always been particularly common in politics. Most people conspire some of the time, and some people (e.g. spies) conspire almost all the time. Since people conspire, there can’t be anything wrong with believing they conspire, hence there can’t be anything wrong with believing conspiracy theories. Thinking of conspiracy theories as characteristically false and irrational is like thinking of scientific theories in this way. It is as if we thought of phrenology as a paradigm of a scientific theory. Conspiracy theories, like scientific theories, and virtually any other category of theory, are sometimes true, sometimes false, sometimes believed on rational grounds, sometimes not.

Testimony to the Louisiana Legislature

By Bandy X. Lee, M.D., M.Div., in Support of H.C.R. 395

My name is Bandy Lee, and I would like to express my strong support for H.C.R. 39, which provides for the continuation of the Judicial Structure Task Force as established by House Resolution No. 30 of the 2022 Regular Session. This Resolution is important, because any level of oversight will help mitigate the current deadly crisis in the family courts, where resources are being used for violence against women and children.

I am a forensic psychiatrist and expert on violence who 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 served as director of research for Harvard’s Center for the Study of Violence, as well as co-founded Yale’s Violence and Health Working Group at the MacMillan Center for International Studies. I have consulted with governments on prison reform and community violence prevention, such as New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Alabama, California, Ireland, and France, in addition to the U.S. Senate. I helped author the United Nations Secretary-General’s chapter on “Violence against Children” in 2007 and have led a project group for the World Health Organization (WHO) Violence Prevention Alliance since 2011. I am a past fellow of the National Institute of Mental Health and recipient of the National Research Service Award. I also played a key role in bringing in federal investigators and initiating reforms at Rikers Island, a correctional facility in New York City known for extreme levels of violence. I authored a widely-used, authoritative textbook, Violence (Lee, 2019), 17 edited scholarly books and journal special issues, over 100 scientific articles and chapters, and over 300 opinion articles in outlets such as the Guardian, the New York Times, the Boston Globe, the Independent, and Politico. In addition to the WHO, I have served as an expert consultant for the United Nations, UNESCO, and the World Economic Forum. My clinical practice specializes in treating violent offenders, and I have served as an expert witness for criminal and civil courts in approximately eighty cases and for family court in approximately three dozen cases. I have previously testified on the dangers of family courts for the Colorado, New York, Tennessee, and Washington legislatures.

What is largely unknown, even for those within the judicial system, is that family courts, through excessive discretion and a lack of accountability and transparency, have become the source of a hidden, deadly epidemic. The warning by Yale Law School’s Robert Cover applies here more than anywhere else: “Interpretations in law … constitute justifications for violence” (Cover, 1986).

Family court judges are granted wide “discretion” with the law, initially with good intentions, but the lack of oversight and the power to conduct all proceedings in self-imposed secrecy have — much like the prison system I have studied for decades — led to disastrous results. That a world of brutality and violence flourishes not only in prisons behind concrete walls, but also in courts of law behind sealed records and gag orders, is one of the most disturbing realities I have come to witness in my twenty-five years of forensic practice — especially since innocent children are the primary victims.

We know from scientific research that the trauma and mortality of domestic violence and child abuse are as severe as any war combat. That family courts are failing to recognize domestic abuse, but routinely send children to their abusers and sever contact with their primary caregivers, is currently one of the greatest human rights emergencies on U.S. soil — especially since this has lifelong and intergenerational repercussions. All fifty U.S. states that are affected, and Louisiana is no exception (Associated Press, 2022; Jenkins, 2024; Silva, 2022).

The statistics are stark. Three-quarters of women in the United States who are killed by their abusers are murdered after they leave the abusive relationship. Of the approximately 100,000 contested child custody cases each year in the United States, a vast majority are actually domestic violence cases involving the most dangerous individuals our society produces. Abusive fathers are more than twice as likely to seek sole custody of their children than non-abusive fathers, and family courts award them joint or sole custody almost three-fourths of the time (Resource Center on Domestic Violence: Child Protection and Custody, 2023). Many fathers who are thus granted custody kill their children, such that up to 25 percent of the nation’s child murders by parent are the result of placement by family courts (Center for Judicial Excellence, 2023).

These are massive numbers, since child abuse is very common. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one in five Americans were sexually molested as a child, one in four were beaten by a parent to the point of leaving a mark on the body, and one out of eight witnessed their mother being beaten. Five children die per day from abuse in the United States, and four will have involved a parent. Almost one in three abused and neglected children will later abuse their own children, continuing this horrible cycle of abuse — and family courts may be a contributor to worsening trends (Friedman, 2019).

The Center for Judicial Excellence (2024) has tracked over 980 children murdered by a divorcing or separating parent over a sixteen-year period in the United States. A detailed study of 175 child murders by fathers in relation to contested custody showed that family courts had in many cases given the access they needed to murder their children, over the objections of the mother (Bartlow, 2017). For every murder, there are a greater number of suicides, and for every death, there are hundreds of injuries that require medical attention. Yet, these numbers are an undercount, as near-universal record concealment, sometimes against the litigants themselves, makes it virtually impossible to track the true number of child murders family courts enable.

Deaths are only the extreme end, since the “soul murder” that children endure with the experience of abuse is unseen from the outside. More than 58,000 children a year are ordered into unsupervised custody by their physical or sexual abuser following divorce in the United States (Silberg, 2008). These children are maximally exposed to lifelong psychological and physical illness, substance abuse, relationship problems, vulnerability to future abuse, as well as decades of loss of life, according to the highly-respected, federally-funded nationwide Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) study (Felitti et al., 2002).

In a disproportionate number of family court cases, the “protective parent” loses custody for simply bringing up the abuse — or even when the children bring up the abuse. Thus, they strip children not only of their primary attachment figure and primary support, but the number one mitigating factor that could help them heal from the abuse. The result is that there is no greater tragedy for growing children, no greater loss for loving parents, and studies now show that large numbers of protective parents, usually mothers, die (Dalgarno et al., 2024; Thomas, 2023).

Child abuse not only affects the current levels of violence in society but has measurable impacts on the levels of heart disease, cancer, obesity, high blood pressure, mental illness, substance abuse, crimes, suicides, and life expectancy (Petruccelli et al., 2019). The economic cost of child abuse and neglect in the United States was estimated at 592 billion dollars in 2018 (Klika et al., 2020).

In spite of all this, pervasive practices of family courts knowingly granting the abusive parent primary custody or unprotected parenting time has tragically not only gone undetected — but have become increasingly extreme in their unchecked abuses. Many cases are prolonged for years if not decades, mainly for the purpose of obscuring the picture, appointing unnecessary court actors (Saunders et al., 2011), and hiring antiscientific “parental alienation experts” and “reunification therapists” to fix the results, fabricate false “evidence”, and suppress real evidence. The profits of doing so are estimated to be between 50 and 175 billion dollars per year (Berger, 2014) — more than the revenue of all other courts combined.

Furthermore, biases against women, children, and allegations of abuse endemic in family courts help dangerous individuals, especially men, to weaponize the courts as instruments of their abuse. Additionally, with higher courts reluctant to intervene and appeals seldom successful because of near-unlimited “discretion”, family court judges wield almost absolute power. They have essentially crafted a subculture that sharply deviates from mainstream society, quickly turning perpetrators into “victims” and domestic violence victims into “perpetrators”.

Tactical theories designed to produce this result, such as “parental alienation,” are discredited elsewhere but thrive in the context of family courts. This hypothesis, originally based not on research but on the personal biases of Richard Gardner, has been debunked scientifically and denounced by reputable medical, psychiatric, and psychological associations — as well as, most notably, the United Nations (2023). Yet, this “pseudo-concept” continues to dominate as a strategy abusers use to manipulate family courts and is being exported internationally at alarming rates. It enables the abuser to portray reports of child sexual, physical, and psychological abuse as lies and the children rejecting him as having been “coached” by the primary caregiver to “alienate” him — rather than being a genuine survival mechanism against his harmful acts, as all legitimate scientific, medical, and developmental studies support.

A national study of 4,388 custody cases showed that mothers who report abuse — particularly child sexual abuse — were losing child custody to abusers at alarming rates (Meier, 2021). It found that the family courts were excessively resistant to child abuse reports and frequently transferred custody from their primary caregivers to known abusers, including convicted sex offenders. If the father accused of abuse counter-accused with “parental alienation,” his chances of gaining custody doubled. If the mother accused of abuse counter-accused with “parental alienation,” her chances did not improve. Yet, studies have repeatedly established that not only is deliberate false reporting rare — as little as 0.1 percent (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2010) — but that child abuse is greatly underreported.

The most dangerous abusers use children as pawns to torment their former partner or to gain child support, to seize marital assets, and even to incarcerate protective parents, with shockingly high rates of success. The greatest casualties are the children, who suffer immeasurably and not only lose the opportunity ever to reach their full potential but in large part become the next generation of angry rapists and murderers, if they survive that long.

As a result, whether through ignorance or willful blindness, bad decisions have become the deadly norm for family courts. A major National Institute of Justice-sponsored family court outcomes study came to the astonishing conclusion that if all family court custody decisions were reversed, they would be more correct (George Washington University, 2018). A cottage industry of lawyers, guardians ad litem, and poorly-qualified “experts”, backed by abuser groups (which call themselves “men’s rights” or “fathers’ rights” groups) has developed because in domestic violence cases, the abusers usually control the money, and it is more lucrative to help the abusers. Therefore, going far beyond the notorious “kids for cash” scandal (Chen, 2009), family courts are taking children from their stable homes and protective, primary caregivers to sell them to the highest bidder, which all too often means to their torture, rape, and murder.

For these reasons, oversight is critical and urgent of the family courts, as well as of all other courts that defer to them. H.C.R. 39, through the Judicial Structure Task Force, has the ability to provide some of that oversight and possibly to save innocent lives.

Family Courts as Centers of Industrial Genocide, Part 2

An Industrial Complex Lies behind Family Court Genocide

Industrial Element

A common experience upon entering the genocidal machine of Family Court as an innocent victim is one of disbelief: that judicial authorities could really be aiming for one’s complete destruction; that they would knowingly cause such needless calamity; and that there would not be a way out. There is a frantic attempt to regain control: “What if I responded more ‘reasonably’ [to the destruction of my children]?” “What if I produced more proof of the abuser?” and “What if only behaved with better compliance [to their impossible demands]?” As we know from countless examples of genocides, there is almost nothing one can “do”, once one is identified as a target. The illogical methods of Family Courts make little sense until we recognize that we are dealing with an industrial complex that has its goal set on one outcome: the theft of children for their trafficking and destruction of evidence, including potential witnesses and whistleblowers. The Family Courts have this down as a blueprint: removal of children from the loving parent, isolation of them with the abuser, and decimation of the loving parent through plundering her financial assets, destroying her reputation, and putting her in prison or making her a ward of the state. An industrial genocide thus arises from two components: autocratic methods and pecuniary opportunity. Family Courts offer both.

Financial and business interests are no strangers to genocides: for example, they have played major roles in the Jewish, Kurdish, and Darfurian progroms. Family Court genocide is heavily tied to financial incentives. Family Courts not only effectuate the “sale” of children to their abusers but also the transfer of funds along with them, through child support, seizure of assets, and a variety of back-channel, money-laundered, illegitimately-procured sources of funding. There is also the transfer of federal funds to state coffers via the manipulation of Social Security Act Title IV-D, which allows the Department of Revenue and Child Support to penalize a targeted parent for “withholding” financial support the Family Court’s designated sole custodian of a child. These actions can involve seizure of bank accounts, revocation of driver’s licenses, removal of business licenses, and incarceration, which Family Courts employ with the goal of total destruction of a life.

The industrial element, therefore, is a continuation of the mental element of Family Court genocide that deals with opportunity. According to the United Nations (UN):

Importantly, the victims of genocide are deliberately targeted — not randomly — because of their real or perceived membership of [a group]. This means that the target of destruction must be the group, as such, and not its members as individuals. Genocide can also be committed against only a part of the group, as long as that part is identifiable … and “substantial”.

That the victims of Family Court are deliberately, not randomly, targeted is the basis for my argument of genocide based on social group. Once they are identified not only as “mothers and children who allege abuse in Family Court,” but as “loving family members who are emotionally bonded in ways that the abusive father is not,” Family Courts exploit the abuser’s psychological yearning for “revenge”. Hence, the more the proof there is of the abuse, and the more the loving mother tries to protect her children, the more they will be retaliated against — or imputed to be an “alienator” — and acquire targets on their backs for pursuit until their virtual annihilation. The “loving” quality makes them hated objects for violent perpetrators, for they expose the qualities that they lack. It also identifies them as vulnerable, “easy” prey: their empathy not only keeps them from viciously attacking back, but also may prevent them from suspecting the other side’s predatory motives, thus giving the abuser a strategic advantage. Additionally, they are likely to have been traumatized, intimidated, and psychologically manipulated by their narcissistic and psychopathic partners into defending their abuser or faulting themselves for the problems.

Family Courts as Centers of Industrial Genocide

An Industrial Genocide against Protective Parents and Their Children Begins with Physical and Mental Elements

It will at first no doubt seem excessive to claim that the killing fields of Family Courts warrant a designation of genocide, but the mere assumption that “It can’t happen here!” should not deter accurate observation. This is an elaboration of an earlier article, and I will argue later that what is occurring through the Family Courts is not just genocide but the specific type of industrial genocide.

There are many barriers to seeing the stark reality of the Family Courts, and the first is the name: “Family Court” is self-exonerating. It defies public imagination that an entity called a “Court” would be breaking the law, much less be a criminal enterprise acting in fact as an “alternative court” for “reversing victim and offender,” by essentially eliminating the innocent party (and therefore the evidence). Most would find it inconceivable that an institution bestowed with public trust to protect families would abuse that trust to carry out the most hideous crimes against those it is charged with protecting.

Yet, the inconceivable levels of brutality in the Family Courts actually protect their ability to commit even more brutal acts — since, if anyone were to describe what is actually happening, no one would believe it. And, like most genocides, entire structures exist simply to hide the systematic human rights violations.

However, to define genocide, one need only examine the criteria in greater detail. Here, I will review the physical element and the mental element, as required for the designation, according to the 1948 UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. Then, in Part 2, I will explain how Family Court genocide is a special instance of industrial genocide.

Physical Element

For guilt to be established, there must first be a physical element, which needs to fulfill only one of the following: (a) killing members of the group; (b) causing members of the group serious bodily or mental harm; (c) deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life “calculated to bring about its … destruction”; (d) preventing births within the group; and (e) forcibly transferring children from one group to another.

In relation to Family Courts:

a) Killing members of the group. This action applies, since deaths are certain under given conditions, such as in the removal of a permanent restraining order intended to protect against a violent ex-spouse, or in sending children to their known abusers, while totally negating abuse as a matter that needs investigation. Almost three American women die per day by the hands of their intimate partners, most frequently following separation, and at least one child is killed every six days in relation to Family Court. By refusing to protect women and children from abuse, often stripping their own means of resistance through court orders that send back runaways and incarcerate adults who try to protect, Family Courts are powerful participants in the killings.

b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group. This criterion applies, as above, with an estimate of 58,000 to 361,000 children being sent to their abusers per year in the U.S. For every child murder, there is an even greater number of suicides and hundreds of serious injuries, a large portion of which will be lifelong. The same principle holds for protective mothers, whose often serious, if not lethal, Family Court-caused health harms are increasingly being documented.

c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part. This action applies, since, in addition to seizing children from innocent mothers (and occasionally innocent fathers), physical assets are expropriated, child support extorted, alimony withheld, and legal fees demanded, while “debtors’ prisons” are reinstituted, exceptions to bankruptcy protections made, and professional careers ruined. Protective parents are devastated financially, physically, and emotionally, so that they cannot fight back against unjust rulings, which also ruins their reputation and societal standing. Reports of children thriving with protective parents but deteriorating with abusive ones are aggressively suppressed, as Family Court-sanctioned abuse irreparably harms children, whose lives are beset by psychological and physical debilitation and a life expectancy that is reduced by decades.

d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group. This result may be an unintended consequence. Preventing births entirely is not within the interest of Family Courts, which rely on having children to send to their destruction for their profit. However, new births may fall dramatically, as the trauma of Family Court-exacerbated abuse may render victims incapable of forming families again, or considering having more children.

e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group. This action is the foremost goal of this well-organized genocide. From “alienation” accusations to “reunification” camps, and from judge to “expert” custody evaluator, are all in alignment for the forcible transfer of children from protective parents to abusive ones, or from nurturance to exploitation, for a very lucrative (death) industry, estimated at 50 to 175 billion dollars a year in the U.S. alone.

In this manner, not just one but all criteria of the physical element of genocide are fulfilled.

Mental Element

To satisfy the mental element, there needs to be an “intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a [targeted] group, as such.” According to the United Nations (UN):

The intent is the most difficult element to determine. To constitute genocide, there must be a proven intent on the part of perpetrators to physically destroy a … group. Cultural destruction does not suffice, nor does an intention to simply disperse a group. It is this special intent, or dolus specialis, that makes the crime of genocide so unique. In addition, case law has associated intent with the existence of a State or organizational plan or policy, even if the definition of genocide in international law does not include that element.

First, intent is difficult to establish through direct evidence in genocide, since few perpetrators would be willing to admit in explicit statements, either written or spoken, their intentions to destroy especially innocent women and children. Family Courts, especially, have the unique authority to generate their own narrative, to cover up their violence through extreme secrecy and control, and to hide behind “the law.” Within the courtroom, intent may be inferred from actions that belie the “official” narrative: severe shunning of high-quality evidence; aggressive fabrication of false “evidence”; strict control of investigations; engagement of “experts” only from their pool of known imposters; denial of due process; outright felony crimes; and extreme indifference to the suffering, mental and physical decline, and even death of the targeted groups.

Culpable acts are systematically directed against targeted individuals — singled out as “alienators” — who live through a personal holocaust that does not end with mere character assassination, cultural effacement, or simple dismissal; commonly, the means of all meaningful survival are removed through seizure of assets, financial penalties, imprisonment, and deliberate obliteration of social or professional standing. Isolated from others like them because of “court seals” and “gag orders,” their experience is one of the greatest calamities conceivable, involving the loss of one’s children to often slow, calculated, malevolent torture and “soul murder” — which rather make immediate murder seem merciful. These repetitive experiences stand in stark contrast to the experience of other litigants who are not so targeted.

The unique quality of genocide is the special intent, or dolus specialis, of total eradication. This intent develops in stages, as delineated in detail through close examination across many dozens of cases of cynical corruption, reflected in the unconstitutional procedures of Jane Gallina-Mecca, and of sadistic depravity, indicated in the illicit practices of Evelyn Nissirios, who are unfortunately prototypical examples. These unlawful acts condoned in the Family Courts nurture brutality in individual violent abusers by bestowing on them impunity — and a perpetrator’s pathology is such that it continues to escalate until one achieves total annihilation. Many bring a “scorched earth” approach to begin with, but being encouraged and enabled as never before elsewhere, especially by a “court of law,” tempts them to go to the maximum: the obliteration of the lives, or at the very least the personhood, of their victims. This does not only happen with violent perpetrators who have already entered Family Court. Family Court, by offering “alternative justice,” where violent perpetrators become “victims” and can turn victims into “perpetrators”, serve as a compelling recruitment device for the most violent individuals society produces, who discover that they need only to apply for custody to access an easy path to exoneration and perpetuation of their plan to destroy all those they have a vendetta against, which for abusive personalities are those who have come in closest contact with them. Motives are increased especially when there is not just avoidance of prosecution but financial, reputational, and cultural rewards for doing so. Three out of four of women who are murdered by violent partners are killed after they leave them. These are the very pool of men from which Family Courts “harness” their lethality.

The presence of a State or organizational plan or policy can be seen in the Family Court “playbook”. A consistent, repetitious pattern can establish intent, which other organizations have identified as: “​Tactics Used to Switch Custody to Fathers and Conceal Abuse.” Among the noted patterns are: isolation of children from their mother, causing traumatic bonding with the father; “reunification” of children with fathers who have been convicted of violence; keeping protective mothers from their children for lengthy periods without contact or on costly supervised visits; the appointment of “therapists” to brainwash children into accepting the abuse; the facilitation of abusive fathers’ alienation or estrangement of children from their protective mothers; the use of gag orders and sealing of records to cover up paternal abuse and judicial bias; and threats against protective mothers with jail or loss of custody to extort silence and compliance, to mention just a few. For those who frequent the Family Courts, the extreme divergence in expectations from ordinary civil society; the immediate degradation, dehumanization, and persecution of the targeted group; and the remarkable consistency and efficiency across jurisdictions and even regions of the world make immediately clear that this is highly-organized crime, not coincidence.

In this manner, the detailed and general aspects of the mental element of genocide are fulfilled.

(In Part 2, we will discuss how Family Courts meet the criterion for industrial genocide.)

A Loving Father’s Cry for Help

Family Courts Not Only Destroy Loving Mothers; They Also Destroy Loving Fathers

I have not independently verified the following story, but it is remarkably consistent with many others I have verified. The Family Court “playbook” is so repetitive, there is very little individual variation: one can almost predict and postdict the entire course of a case, without knowing many details. What Family Courts do is clear: they are a predatory organization that destroys families for its private plunder (judges, Court-appointed actors, and Court-connected “experts” from “the bottom of the barrel” who are all interconnected). They are an affront to the values of humanity, to the children and future society we are trying to protect, and to human decency. Their ugliness and brutality rival the maximum-security prisons where I have worked, where gladiator fights, gang rapes, and murder with impunity flourish — only they are worse, as they force innocent children who cannot fight back into situations of violence, sexual slavery, and death. I reproduce a father’s communication here, with permission, since fathers being caught up in the Family Court carnage are rare but significant — revealing that the powerful and well-funded “Fathers’ Rights groups” do not help loving fathers but should be renamed “Abusers’ Rights groups” — as what they actually foster is a culture of abuse, regardless of gender.

Hi,

I read about you online and am desperate looking for help and at least awareness. I was married to an extreme covert narcissistic woman who destroyed my whole life, also financially. We have 2 children together and I have 1 child from a previous marriage. All of these children have been and are still being abused, sexually, physically, and they have been brainwashed and conditioned. My oldest came forward recently that he had been molested by an older son of my ex. We realized that that same person had also molested my younger son who is 10 now, since he was a baby. My younger son doesn’t speak up, though, and my older son is afraid to do anything legally necessary.

I had almost full custody of the 2 minor children after a courageous and not corrupt GAL (guardian ad litem) did a 2 to 3 year investigation and it was very clear that the mother’s environment was completely inappropriate. Within a year she had that turned around, though, with help of a corrupt parenting coordinator who she most likely paid off and has an extremely bad name here. It is impossible to put in a few words how corrupt and biased that lady is — it is like she enjoys destroying lives.

There is a whole clique of corrupt “mental health” professionals that all know each other and the family court people like judges. My ex had way better finances than I and had a very unethical lawyer who is openly being unethical without any repercussions. He knows the judges, these “mental health” professionals, everybody knows each other.

My now 10 year old has severe trauma and is on a path to suicide, but I can not even get him treatment, because each time a counselor suspects anything, they are bullied out of the door. The counselor he is seeing now is completely controlled by mother and her lawyer. I could not even hold onto a restraining order to the molester, resulting that he can now openly, and with the help of mental health and family court mafia, molest my 10 year old. Mother is openly and clearly alienating the children without any repercussions.

I am a pro se litigant and am not getting anywhere in the Courts, the judge has been playing games, he is buddy-buddy with the parenting coordinator (PC) and her lawyer, and he is openly making sure that nothing goes my way, despite overwhelming evidence of abuse, physical [and] sexual. He is openly punishing me for filing a complaint against his PC, which went nowhere, because everybody is connected.

I have a now 22-year-old who is completely traumatized due to sexual and other abuse, a 10-year-old who is traumatized had been proven to be physically abused by my ex’s boyfriend and is sexually abused by her older son since he was a baby, sent back to these same abusers right after a lot of the abuse was proven due to the corrupt PC and corrupt and unethical counselors. I also have a 9-year-old who is permanently anxious. Both of the young kids are having physical problems, but it’s like the courts and counselors are able to put out and sustain a completely different story, labeling me as some kind of crazy parent on behalf of my ex. It is almost like the judge is enjoying it, and in all his actions he is covering himself. It is like dealing with the mafia who is completely siding with my ex, and hand-in-hand they are destroying children. It is just waiting for something to happen with my 10-year-old now, either to himself or to somebody else.

I am trying to obtain services of a lawyer again, because not having one did get me killed in court, but my business was intentionally destroyed, and I am still in deep debt due to actions of my ex, which in fact the courts seemed to find funny. The PC and judge have continuously made all kind of negative remarks about my financial situation and used that against me. Even after I lost everything I had left in a hurricane, they used that against me. I feel like in this county I stand no chance, because I am permanently labeled and everybody knows everybody. This means in reality that my children have no chance.

My 10-year-old is on his way to become just another statistic, and it will probably be blamed on me. My kids have so much potential, but mom is allowed to completely condition them as loyal followers subject to continuous abuse but so conditioned that they do not speak up. Mom works in the school system and has this clan of flying monkeys, she uses school system resources like lawyers to help her, for instance. It is hard to find a more abusive person than her. Her older son, the pedophile, is who he is because the way she raised him. It’s a whole family of completely disgusting people helping each other and attacking me, and my children are being pulled into that environment.

This was made very clear to the court by the GAL but overturned really quickly, with the judge lecturing me and ridiculing me, stating that everything had changed. It was really only because I dared filing a complaint against his PC that turned him into acting completely against me while covering himself, and it hasn’t stopped since. The coward even had another judge decide over a restraining order I had, because he knows all the evidence and it would have been hard for him to deny that order, but now they were able to throw most of the evidence out due to it being “hearsay”, sending a 10-year-old straight back to his molester, who has been molesting him since he was a baby and further making the road for me impossible, because I was labeled as filing a fake complaint. It’s like being permanently gaslighted by a whole clan of people.

I don’t know how to get out of this mess anymore and how I am able to rescue my children that, with the mental health and family court mafia here, are being systematically destroyed. So I desperately need help, and it is hard because my financial resources are bad. My whole life was destroyed intentionally, and then when I was in the process of trying to get back on my feet, I lost everything in a hurricane.

I see my children being destroyed before my eyes, and I feel helpless and hopeless.

Thanks,

Evelyn Nissirios — Needs to be Prosecuted and Disbarred

Evelyn Nissirios — Needs to be Prosecuted and Disbarred

Criminal Charges are being Brought against Her, but a Civilized Society Needs Law Enforcement

It has been rewarding for me to learn that my articles are helping many to navigate the confusing “Twilight Zone” or “Alice in Wonderland” world that loving parents say Evelyn Nissirios has created for them — where down is up, white is black, and abuse is the best thing that ever happened to their child. However, to truly protect our children, we need to do more. As abolitionist of slavery Frederick Douglass has said: “It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.”

There is a double-entendre here: a civilized society should stop serial child predators like Nissirios from destroying its budding members in her attempt to benefit “broken men.” This means that Boards of Education, Ethics Committees, and Family Courts should not serve as hiding places for habitual child predators like she. Child Protective Services, already scandalous in New Jersey for missing too many deaths — and hence in 2012 but changing little of its practices — must do better than simply serve to “rubber stamp” wrong (but lucrative) decisions.

Children should not be sent to their rape, battery, murder, and suicide for the financial profit of child predators.

The case that started me following Nissirios is truly one of the most benign among the two dozen or so I have since received of Nissirios’ stomach-churning crimes against innocent children and their loving parents. However, I have witnessed this case firsthand, without needing the mother to break any “gag order” or court “seal” — the chief means by which Family Courts cover up their organized crime — while it illustrates well Nissirios’ modus operandi.

Every person who is told that this mother has not seen or heard from her children, for even one minute in two and a half years, usually gasps — what could she have done that would cause her such a fate? Even murderers get more parenting time!

What if you were told that her only “crime” was to be a model mother, under whom her prodigy children thrived for the first ten years of their lives, in perfect physical and psychological health? Not only that, her lunches were “the talk of the town” for the care they showed, and her parenting skills were famous throughout the neighborhood. Discerning parents trusted her with their children like themselves, and teachers and counselors sought advice for her “way” with children.

However, loving, nurturing, and capable parents are precisely the ones from whom Nissirios finds it necessary to tear children away — not just forcefully and brutally, but using the most barbaric and violent methods possible. Few will believe what happened — except for those living through almost identical experiences under her.

The absentee father of this case, who was nicknamed “photo op dad” for appearing only for five minutes on special occasions, suddenly wanted a divorce: he was smitten with a new, younger mistress. He could not wait to leave the house and even reserved a single’s room for rent. However, Family Court enticed him to take the children, for then he would not only avoid alimony and child support payments but potentially seize the house, demand his legal fees, and even put his ex-spouse in jail (if she cannot pay the exorbitant penalties). This corrupt proposition is often one that abusive, “broken men” find too tempting to pass up.

But this father, having occupied all his time with singles parties, singing lessons, alcohol abuse, violent “indie” films, and his pornography addiction, did not know how to handle children. From the first day of imposing his “parenting time” on them, cries and screams reverberated through the house. Every additional hour with him turned into more cuts, bruises, bloody shirts, and the biggest injuries they had in their entire lives. Yet, Nissirios, as guardian ad litem, kept increasing his “parenting time.”

Finally, the father almost killed his seven-year-old son, when he slammed his head against a window — the way he previously almost killed his daughter as an infant by head injury — which caused him to be on a temporary restraining order. Nissirios was increasing his custody from zero to half-time when she co-conspired with him to kidnap the children altogether.

On his first full weekend with them, the father stole the children’s passports and fled across state lines with them — in overt violation of Court directives — but was discovered because the terrified children called their maternal grandfather. Nissirios said nothing about this, in the same way she said nothing when she learned of the father’s threatening the children with police, arrests, and jail if they did not do as he said — especially frightening after they had been police-escorted to him for refusing his “parenting time.” Nissirios could not let facts interfere with her agenda: she also buried the children’s suicide notes, attempts to set the house on fire in protest, emergency room visits for suicide attempts, emergency follow-up visits after suicide attempts, and letters to the Court asking to fire her for acting as their “enemy”.

Yet, when the mother, on her legitimate weekend with the children — which Nissirios herself assigned — tried to access a pool at a nearby hotel, which was well within Court directives, Nissirios and the father descended on her with a raid by five police officers and ripped her screaming and clinging children from her arms. They had maliciously accused the mother of “absconding”, but the charges were immediately dropped when their obvious lies were exposed. Nevertheless, having seized the children, the father used the opportunity to conceal them entirely, and Nissirios has ensured that the mother could not get a single message to them, while telling them that their mother abandoned them, no longer loved them, and wished nothing more to do with them.

Nine psychiatric professionals, some of them with world renown, have declared the mother not only fit but with “exceptional talent” in parenting. Six forensic professionals, four of whom diagnosed him with a serious personality disorder, have warned that the father is a danger to his children. Yet, through abuse of authority and almost 350 counts of perjury and lies to the Court, Nissirios suppressed them all. There are objective signs of deterioration: despite every effort to block the mother from accessing school and pediatric records, it was revealed that the daughter missed almost half of school since the abduction (she had perfect attendance before); both children are failing to thrive, as they became the smallest in their classes (they were average height and weight before); an orthopedist noted a bone injury in the daughter that was “neglected for months”; the son had more emergency room visits; and both of them have such serious tooth decay from neglect as to need surgery. Now, these poor children may even have contracted hepatitis B! In the meantime, the emboldened father is indeed demanding six figures in “child support,” his legal fees, the house, and offering no alimony (however much he is paying Nissirios, it is obviously worth it!). In addition, he has attempted five times — and succeeded in four — to co-conspire with Nissirios to get the mother and her affiliates arrested on further false charges.

When criminals are not held accountable, they do not stop but “DARVO” (“Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender”), in order to cover up their own crimes. They are, very simply, terrified of the truth getting out. This is why each and every one of Nissirios’ numerous victims should similarly press criminal charges and not be fooled by her “official” appointments, when she is in truth a vicious gangster who violently preys on the children she is supposed to protect.

*This is the thirteenth of weekly articles, as reports of Evelyn Nissirios’ abhorrent acts against children have grown overwhelming. Now, just days after the filing of criminal charges, Emily Kaufman of the Saddle River Board of Education finally answered my communication from over five weeks ago on March 20, 2024, stating, “none of the board members have been charged with nor convicted of any disqualifying crime,” to which I responded, “your refusal to investigate credible charges does not absolve you from responsibility” — which is especially alarming, given the severity of the charges. Saddle River, above all, has endured Nissirios’ brazenly remaining on the Board of Education, after the community explicitly held an election to remove her and indeed voted her out . If a Board of Education is too busy sheltering “broken women” to protect children, then perhaps it, too — like Child Protective Services and the Family Courts  — needs to be abolished.

Evelyn Nissirios — ‘You Had Better Watch Out for Her!’

Evelyn Nissirios — ‘You Had Better Watch Out for Her!’

‘The Amount of Harm that this Woman has Brought to Children is Despicable’

I am not the only one issuing warnings, I have learned. The above is being said by a grandparent, who has seen what Evelyn Nissirios has done to his grandchildren. As an inspector of schools, he meets with principals and superintendents continuously, and he tells them: “Do you know Evelyn Nissirios on the Saddle River Board of Education? You had better watch out for her! Whenever you have to deal with her, be on guard — she is not who she seems to be!” He is alerting, I am told, anyone and everyone who will listen.

Apparently, Nissirios’ victims are now so numerous, the above grandparent has in the process encountered other grandparents whose children Nissirios has victimized. “She is such a psychotic woman,” the health professional informing me of the above commented, based on her own observations. Again, she posed to me the perennial question: “What is wrong with her?”

In the Middle Ages, individuals with schizophrenia were employed for special tasks, as they were perceived as sensing the spirit world more keenly than ordinary people (there is indeed neuroscientific evidence to support this). In our day, we have the more cynical situation of individuals with psychopathy being employed for the Family Courts, as they are seen as being more efficient than normal individuals in horrific deeds such as sending children to their torture and death for monetary gain (there is ample research on their absence of compassion and conscience). Individuals with psychopathy also wear a “mask of sanity” that makes covering up criminality almost seamless (serial rapists and murderers often have this diagnosis).

Nissirios may or may not be psychotic, but there is considerable evidence that she may be psychopathic. I have begun evaluating her at the request of a litigant who is planning to sue her for fraud. Of note, forensic evaluations can take many forms. Objective data are more reliable in assessing dangerousness and criminal personality patterns than a personal interview, in which affected individuals motivated to mislead through pathological lying. Dangerousness, furthermore, may sometimes invoke a societal duty to warn potential victims, including the public. This duty becomes even more binding when children are involved.

In addition, I have the advantage of receiving information from almost two dozen sources. Therefore, I can speak more generally about the most common descriptor I receive in relation to Nissirios: “sadistic”. What does it mean to be sadistic?

The term sadism derives from the eighteenth-century French novelist Marquis de Sade, whose stories of degradation and graphic sexual acts, along with his own sexual crimes, landed him in prison. It does not always have to be sexual, but always involves enjoyment and pleasure from deliberately inflicting pain to others — be it physically, verbally, or emotionally, and frequently through manipulation and humiliation.

A sadist can have devastating consequences on children, adults, communities, or society. Sadism is thought to derive from adverse childhood experiences, such as physical or sexual abuse, that push an individual toward sadism. Societal endorsement may also encourage recurrent cruel behavior that focuses purely on their own pleasure at the expense of other people.

When sadistic personality disorder appeared as a separately diagnosable psychopathology in 1987, in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Third Edition, Revised (DSM-III-R), the core feature was a pervasive pattern of “cruel, demeaning, and aggressive behavior, for the purpose of amusement or obtaining pleasure from the suffering of others.” Currently, it is conceived not as a separate disorder but as a trait of a personality disorder, psychopathy, the Dark Triad, or social deviance with impulsivity and rule-breaking.

Current research shows that sadism is most strongly related to increased psychopathic features. Psychopathy is characterized by deficits in emotional functioning, irresponsibility, pathological lying and deception, conning behavior and lack of sincerity, superficial charm, manipulation, and lack of empathy. Convicted male prisoner studies confirmed that all psychopathic components — interpersonal exploitation, emotional impoverishment, parasitic lifestyle, and antisocial tendencies — are associated with sadism.

Sadism has also shown to be connected to narcissistic personality disorder, and sexual sadism in male sexual homicide offenders associated with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder.

Sadism is heavily linked to the Dark Triad, which is composed of three socially maladaptive personality traits: Narcissism, Machiavellianism, and Psychopathy. All three concepts are underpinned by callousness, self-promotion, and social deviance. Narcissism implies attention-seeking and fantasizing about unlimited success or power while possessing a grandiose, over-exaggerated sense of self-importance and entitlement. Machiavellianism refers to deception, flattery, and manipulation to promote one’s own interests.

Sadism also has a connection to the basic personality factors in the Big Five and HEXACO models: these are dimensional ways of conceiving personality, through the dimensions of Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness; HEXACO adds Honesty-Humility. Sadistic individuals lack integrity, emotionality, discipline, kindness, and social activity.

American Psychologist Theodore Millon divided sadism into four subtypes in his 2011 book, Disorders of Personality:

1. Enforcing sadism: “bossy” supervisors or deans believing that they have the “right” to be pitiless, merciless, coarse, and barbarous tyrants

2. Explosive sadism: unpredictably precipitous outbursts and fury, uncontrollable rage and fearsome attacks, and feelings of shame that are pent-up and discharged

3. Spineless sadism: venomous dominance and cruelty that are insecure and cowardly, publicly swaggering but selective of powerless scapegoats

4. Tyrannical sadism: relishing of menacing and brutalizing others, forcing them to cower and submit, verbally scathing, destructive, inhumane, and unmerciful

What does all this tell you about Evelyn Nissirios? You decide!

*This is the twelfth of weekly articles, now writing themselves as the horrendous, egregious, loathsome, and lurid actions of Evelyn Nissirios keep coming to light (what can be more monstrous than the torture, maiming, and setting up for murders of countless innocent children?). As long as the child endangerment continues, there is a duty for all onlookers not to remain silent. These pieces are also intended to educate, as reducing today’s victims prevents tomorrow’s perpetrators. More on Nissirios will be revealed in the upcoming book, Judicial Violence: Anatomy of a Family Court Case (the first of two related volumes). Those who have additional information to share can reach me here . Thank you!
