What if the Criminals are the Judges and the Court Actors?

When Family Courts Harbor Serial Murderers and Serial Predators

Family Courts are the scourge of current society. They offer a loophole where the most heinous criminals congregate to commit the greatest atrocities. Yet, the public is in the dark because these “anti-courts” concoct their own “facts”, decide what is evidence, eliminate witnesses, and conceal their crimes through “court seals.” No law enforcement can hold them accountable, because they believe they are above the law and have the means to enforce that belief. No press can cover them properly, because they threaten newsrooms and sometimes reporters mysteriously die. The result? Around 100,000 children in the U.S. per year are trafficked to their rape, torture, battery, murder, and suicide. Adults who try to protect them suffer unspeakable persecution, if they are not destroyed financially, emotionally, and physically before being killed or killing themselves. And the scale is such that our whole society now has a trail of traumatized persons who can barely function, affecting our collective state of mental health, and even the ability to maintain a democracy.

As is usually the case, without personal involvement, I myself would not have known anything about this secret world of medieval barbarity and brutality (to which I can only compare the secret world of prison abuse, where gang rapes, gladiator fights, beatings, and murders happen with impunity — and yet Family Courts are worse, since their victims are innocent children!). Even as a family member, I may not have known, without being an expert witness for the courts and getting involved in over forty other Family Court cases, that the pattern of cruelty and violence is horrifically consistent if not identical. Not even other judges or those in the legal profession are aware of the full extent of the abuses that are occurring within Family Court fiefdoms, where judges serve as “judge, jury, expert, and executioner” (I insert “expert” here, because the judge decides the finding and picks the right “expert” to give it, not the other way around).

However, even my sister’s “judge” could not hold onto her case forever. The original trial date was set for November 2022, which she then postponed to July 2023, and then to August, September, October, and November 2023, and then to January 2024, before it finally happened in May 2024. Even then, she did not release her ruling until December 2024. Neither litigant wanted the divorce so prolonged, but stalling time was the only way she could “habituate” an unacceptable arrangement. Indeed, during the four years of litigation, almost nothing else was achieved, other than dragging out time to cement the children’s “traumatic bond” with their abusive father, who had kidnapped them very early in the case without allowing them even one minute — whether in person, by phone, or through the exchange of a single message — with the mother who raised them since birth. In other words, a “temporary” transfer of custody was by default made “permanent” by imposing an inordinate passage of time — and for children, four years is an eternity!

Here is what happened:

‘Child Therapist’ Barbara Maurer

When Family Court mandated the children to “therapy”, Maurer seemed to know “the protocol.” She would take days or weeks to answer the mother’s queries, if at all, but if the father called, she responded within minutes. She had only one task: to make the abusive father “good” and the caring mother “bad”, and to cover up any signs of abuse. The children, who became more suicidal after each session with her, finally refused her “therapy”. In response, she locked them in her office and traumatized them, which caused her licensing board to investigate her, to adjudge her guilty, and to force her to recuse herself. The Family Court’s response was simply to find a replacement, this time without notifying the mother and while concealing the identity of the new “therapist”.

‘Guardian ad litem’ Evelyn Nissirios

As the “children’s” guardian ad litem in Family Court, Nissirios’ one task was to work for “the best interests” of the child predator. In order to do so, she perjured herself a staggering 600 documented times in just this one case! On the father’s first weekend with the children, soon after being on a restraining order for almost crushing the skull of his seven-year-old son and almost having killed his daughter as an infant, he tried to abscond with the children, having stolen their passports and secretly crossing state borders to take them hours away from home. This directly violated court directives, and he was caught only because the terrified children called their maternal grandfather, but none of the above bothered Nissirios

However, when the mother picked up her children slightly early from school, on a day she was specifically authorized to have her children — partly because they were distressed and suicidal from the prior, terrifying weekend with their unstable father — she descended on the mother like a hawk! She immediately coordinated with the father to make a false police report, scheduled an emergency, secret hearing without notice to either the mother or her attorney, and sent in a SWAT team of five police officers, who forcibly tore the crying and clinging children from their mother, accusing her of trying to “abscond” with them. This ambush attack could also be deemed an attempted murder, since just hours earlier the mother had notified the Court, including Nissirios and the father, of a medical emergency: life-threatening, stress-induced high blood pressures that Nissirios and the father themselves caused through hourly harassment and demands for updates. The charges against the mother were instantly dropped when their lies to the police were exposed, but having seized the children, they had no intention of letting them go. Police raids are apparently Nissirios’ specialty, as she has done across dozens of cases, before blocking the children’s contact with the loving parent altogether — and then telling the children the good parent abadoned them, no longer loves them, and wishes to have nothing to do with them.

‘Judge’ Jane Gallina-Mecca

That this Family Court “judge” is the orchestrator of these child theft operations is seen in her relentless control of the narrative. How Gallina-Mecca has aggressively taken down articles, despite the Washington Post shaming her for doing so years earlier — and falsely arrested medical professionals, based on secret orders she could not show anyone — has been written about elsewhere. Her track record is extremely disturbing, with multiple murders under her “belt”, and a petition for impeachment in process, whereby several family members of litigants who were murdered under her hope to testify.

Herself an abusive personality, she “mentors” already-sadistic Nissirios on heaping one human rights violation after another to hide their own, shocking criminality. By going against ten psychiatric reports unanimously confirming the mother’s “excellent mental health” and “exceptional talent in parenting” — one of them 96 pages long with extensive testing and collateral interviews — Gallina-Mecca was practicing medicine without a license.

Because she had no evidence, witnesses, or experts taking her side, Gallina-Mecca simply appointed an endless stream of needless court actors to parrot her preset narrative. This included a guardian ad litem for the mother, Linda Schofel — for the duly-diagnosed psychopathic father’s fantasy fulfillment of labeling the mother “mentally ill” and in need of a “guardian”, instead of himself. It also included an unlicensed student “counselor”, Tara Devine — who was willing to give Gallina-Mecca the “evaluation” that no other, highly-credentialed psychiatrist or psychologist would (and Gallina-Mecca, of course, counted only her opinion!). There was also a designated pediatrician, Karen Wu — who has finally recently been criminally indicted for falsification of medical records, tampering with evidence, retaliating against witnesses, and failing to report child abuse. And, in addition to Child Protective Services and the Child Abuse Hotline, the long tentacles of Gallina-Mecca have also interfered with one assignment judge, one civil court judge, one municipal judge, two appellate judges, and at least one covering judge on this one case — and this is only what I know about!

The Father

That this kind of “court” is where my brother-in-law drags his family into should make clear his serious psychiatric problems, without even knowing his diagnosis (since the most dangerous psychiatric disorders are also the most deceptive). After all, he decided to file for divorce because my sister “stopped praising” him enough. A corporate lawyer and student of Alan Dershowitz, he is the perfect kind Family Courts cater to. They enticed him with full custody, financial rewards, and punishment for a family that dared to have a mind of its own (for example, when he suddenly imposed himself on the children so that he could have an edge in his divorce — after being an absentee father all their lives — they dared to scream and cry every day!). And now, with the Family Court to prop him up, he will show them he is somebody!

Instead of containing his sickness and managing his behavior — indeed, during the five days he was on a restraining order after smashing his son against a window, both children were calm, cheerful, and back to their normal selves — Family Court saw his symptoms as an “opportunity” to entice and enable. His compulsions would find it impossible to resist their offer, and his detachment from reality would keep him from noticing how the Court is draining all his and his wife’s assets. He was busy rejoicing, for the first time, being labeled “the good parent” and being given the license to unleash vengeance against his family for “not loving” him enough, with all the force of the law behind him!

This is the ugly “service” that Family Courts sell, breeding psychopathy and violence, under the guise of being a “court”. Violent men, who like in my brother-in-law’s case almost killed his wife six times, almost killed each of his children on different occasions, kidnapped the children, and continues to neglect, injure, and harm them, can experience being all-powerful and all-righteous, while putting on a perfect public façade — since no one would believe the truth, even if one heard it.

Picking up the ruling:

December 4, 2024, was the date of ruling, available for pickup only two days later. It was obviously timed for maximal inconvenience, so that my sister would have to prepare an appeal, to move residences, and to meet all the demands of the judgment during the holiday season — so that all would be ready for the father by the New Year. I and a friend had accompanied her to the courthouse, in case she needed to go to the emergency room, as she did the last time she was there (she almost died five times from stress-induced hypertensive crises, because of the Court). The experience was interesting: like a mob boss, the judge had her clerk’s office hidden away and inaccessible. Instead, when we inquired a passerby, she had us wait for her to get the judge’s clerk, who directed us to sit on a bench, far out in the rotunda. While we were told the judgment was being printed, not one but two clerks constantly stepped out to surveille us in the sitting area. Finally, when one of them emerged to deliver what seemed like an envelope with half a ream of paper, she was accompanied by a police officer with a gun!

The friend was stunned, but I was not: this judge is fully cognizant that my sister was entering the building for the first time in three years, because her Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accommodation identified the courthouse as a site of trauma. She literally developed post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after the police raid took her children, and has been unable to feel safe near a policeman since. What more maximal way to torment and “break” someone, as is the chief mechanism by which Family Courts carry out their heist? We did not have to take my sister to the emergency room then, but the next day the ambulance transported her there, where she was recommended to be hospitalized.
