STG37-HOTLINE NIGHTMARE With Alicia Morgan And Kelly Patton - Slam The Gavel

Maryann Petri opens the episode with a fierce indictment of the family‑court system, zeroing in on how CPS and state courts keep a child on the Missing and Exploited Children list while stripping parents of every right. Kelly Patton, a longtime ally and private‑investigator for the family, walks listeners through the tangled web of Kansas and Washington agencies that refuse to share records, block ICPC transfers, and label a six‑year‑old as aggressive after a brief, abusive foster‑care stint. Alicia, a mother with advanced degrees in child development and addiction counseling, recounts the daily nightmare of being denied discovery, facing $2,500 sanctions, and watching her husband’s support evaporate as the system drags her into homelessness. The conversation spirals into a broader expose of systemic abuse: Supreme Court Texas rulings ignored, constitutional rights dismissed, and judges allegedly colluding to terminate parental rights in favor of unqualified foster placements. Both guests describe financial ruin, falsified assessments, and a culture of intimidation that silences evidence, even when a parent passes rigorous parenting assessments. They call out the interconnected network of CPS, Medicaid, CASA, and nonprofit agencies that manipulate funding to keep families apart. Amid the anger, Patton and Alicia cling to hope, urging listeners to document every irregularity in affidavits and to seek federal intervention. The episode ends with a rallying cry for reform, directing survivors to Maryann’s dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.com for resources and legal referrals.
