Why Won't The Cops Do Anything? The Exact Words That Get A Detective Assigned. | Ep 11
Families ask this more than any other question. I filed a report, so why won't the cops do anything? Criminal trial attorney Shawn Lee answers it by laying out every player in American law enforcement, patrol officer, deputy, detective, SWAT, state police, FBI, task force, and walking a single report from the moment you dial to the desk where it usually stops. He gives the exact escalation he has personally used to get a detective assigned, why there's a shortage of detectives and a surplus of SWAT, and why complex fraud needs a task force rather than one overloaded investigator. Plus the 1922 court record and prison letters of Charles Ponzi, who ran a scheme that had no name until he was convicted, and the Kids for Cash case out of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. 0:00 Cold open. 1:19 Go get a new lawyer. 3:28 Charles Ponzi and the scheme with no name. 6:20 Child labor and why children are a target. 9:05 Why nobody is reporting family court fraud. 10:31 The cast of characters in law enforcement. 13:00 What the patrol officer actually does. 13:53 Getting a detective assigned. 15:39 Why everybody wants to be SWAT. 17:34 Why fraud takes a task force. 22:07 How to file a federal tip that gets read. 24:11 The FBI is hiring lawyers. 26:16 Kids for Cash. 30:49 InfraGard and critical infrastructure. 35:36 What's coming in Episode 4.

Why Shawn Calls Virtual Court a Fraud — Rule 8.2, the Cast of Characters, and the $50,000 Invoice
Open courtrooms forced settlement and kept everyone honest in public view — Shawn's theory on what Zoom court took away.

Family Court Isn’t Justice. It’s a Machine.
You’d be safer walking through a dark alley at midnight than through the doors of an American family courtroom. Let that sink in. Description We’re told family court is where families go for protection. For fairness. For justice. But what if that isn’t true? In this episode, we break down the data behind more than 2,251 submissions from families across all 50 states, and the picture is devastating. This isn’t just about one bad judge. Or one bitter divorce. This is bigger than me. Bigger than one family. Bigger than one state. This is systemic. We expose how family court cases drag on for years. How endless motions, court-appointed professionals, Guardian ad Litems, evaluations, and legal games turn family court into a financial destruction machine. Families aren’t being helped. They’re being processed. Monetized. Broken down until they run out of money, run out of hope, and are forced to fight alone. And then it gets worse. We dig into the patterns survivors keep reporting: false accusations. Weaponized CPS calls. Ex parte orders. Perjury ignored. Protective parents silenced while abusers are rewarded. Read that again. No evidence. No accountability. No due process. And children are the ones paying the price. This episode also exposes the trauma being inflicted on kids when courts force contact with abusive parents in the name of “best interest.” Suicidal ideation. CPTSD. Dissociation. Lifelong scars. This isn’t reform around the edges. This is a full system failure hiding in plain sight. And no one is talking about it loudly enough. If you’ve ever felt like you were the only one, you’re not. If you’ve ever been told your case was “unique,” you need to hear this. Because the data says otherwise. Real stories. Real data. Real proof that what is happening in family court across this country is not isolated. It is happening everywhere. This episode is about exposing the truth, breaking the silence, and showing exactly why campaigns like Stand With Meg are pushing to unlock state reports and build a public record the courts can’t bury. They count on your silence. We are changing that. Visit StandWithMeg.com to learn more and submit your story. Subscribe to the show so you never miss an update.

The Weaponization of American Courts: James O'Keefe Silenced | Stand With Meg
Welcome to the Stand With Meg show! In this explosive episode, we uncover how Miami’s domestic violence court was just weaponized to silence investigative journalist James O'Keefe. After publishing the truth about Matthew Tyrmand, O'Keefe was hit with a restraining order by Judge Marie Elizabeth Mato, forced to surrender his firearms, and placed under an unconstitutional prior restraint order. We break down O'Keefe's emergency appeal citing Near v. Minnesota and how this blatant violation of First and Second Amendment rights exposes a deeply broken judicial system. But this isn't just about James O'Keefe—it's a nationwide epidemic. Whether it is family court and CPS removing children without due process, or probate and civil courts bleeding families dry, unchecked judges are operating behind closed doors with zero transparency, zero oversight, and zero accountability. Have your rights been stripped away by a judge? Your data is our greatest weapon for change. Go to standwithmeg.com to fill out our survey about court corruption and help us expose the system.

America's 50-State Nightmare: The Data Behind the Family Court Engine
Welcome to another episode of the Stand With Meg podcast. In this episode, we are diving into our massive, newly updated 50-state data report. We have now collected testimonies and data from 1,979 families across all 50 states, and the findings expose a coordinated, nationwide crisis. Listen in as we break down the shocking national statistics of America's Family Courts and Child Protective Services (CPS) to reveal the true scope of the damage being done to parents and children. We discuss: The 50-State Scope: How 1,979 documented cases prove this is a systemic, multi-billion dollar industry, not just a series of isolated incidents. The Double Jeopardy: The terrifying reality for the 779 families forced to navigate the conflicting rules of both Family Court and CPS simultaneously. Financial Ruin: How the system bleeds parents dry with an average attorney fee of $61,308, forcing over 52% of parents to fight unrepresented (Pro Se) against an endless machine. Weaponized False Accusations: We expose how malicious reports and false accusations in Family Court and CPS are the primary engines of family separation. This isn't just data; these are stolen childhoods and fractured families.

How Melissa Buescher Proves Kansas Family Courts Are Broken
Welcome to The Stand with Meg . In this powerful episode, we expose the shocking reality of the Kansas family court system through the harrowing custody battle between Petitioner Melissa S. Buescher and Respondent Michael B. Buescher. Melissa breaks down her compelling testimony before the Kansas Judiciary Committee on Child Support and Child Custody Oversight, detailing what she describes as a complete collapse of systemic oversight. We trace her case's troubling transfer from a Pottawatomie County IV-D child-support jurisdiction to a non-IV-D Trustees case in the District Court of Shawnee County, Kansas, Third Judicial District. Listeners will hear exactly how Melissa proves these systemic failures, backed by evidence of unrecorded counsel-only phone conferences, missing court transcripts, and denied due process under the 14th Amendment. This deep-dive examines the documented roles of all the key actors involved in the litigation. We discuss the controversial ex parte filings and alleged ethical violations by opposing counsel Sarah Snyder, the bypassed authority of Court-Appointed Case Manager Julia Butler, the struggles with Petitioner's counsel Rebekah Phelps-Davis and Allison Hibler, and the refusal of the Guardian ad Litem to accept crucial evidence. From filing a Motion to Set Aside or Vacate under K.S.A. 60-260(b) to calling out "fraud upon the court," Melissa details her relentless fight for constitutional rights, immutable audit trails, and judicial accountability in Kansas.

The Engine of Separation: How Family Courts Systematically Break Families
Welcome back to the Stand With Meg podcast. In this episode, we unpack the dark reality of America's family courts, focusing on the "engine of family separation" and the systematic patterns that have turned corruption into standard court procedure. Drawing on groundbreaking data collected from 1,953 families across all 50 states, we reveal how the system traps parents, drains their finances, and fractures families. We take a deep dive into the 9 recurring mechanisms used by the system to break families, including: Weaponized False Accusations: Discover how 37.1% of separations are initiated by malicious false accusations, immediately triggering child removal without due process and placing the burden of proof on the accused parent. Dual-System Entanglement: We explore the "double jeopardy" faced by the 779 families who are forced to battle both Family Court and Child Protective Services (CPS) simultaneously, with conflicting rules and no pathway for appeal. Court Insiders Profiting: We follow the money to show how Guardians ad Litem (GALs), attorneys, and therapists are financially incentivized to delay cases and bill hourly, contributing to an average attorney cost of over $61,000 per family. GAL Conflicts of Interest: We expose how supposed "child advocates" often share the same courthouse networks and personal relationships with the judges they report to, aligning themselves with court interests rather than the children's. Retaliation for Advocacy: Hear how parents and children who speak up about abuse or challenge unfair court orders are punished, silenced, and stripped of custody. This is not a series of isolated incidents; it is a systemic national crisis. Join us as we amplify the voices of the parents who have lived this nightmare and outline the 8 non-negotiable reform demands needed to fix this broken system.

Justice Denied: Judge Keven O’Grady, the Sands Case, and the Cost of Procedure
In this episode, I break down the disturbing allegations surrounding Judge Keven O’Grady , the Nicholas “Nick” Sands case , and how court procedure can be used to block truth.

From missed deadlines and denied testing to the financial stakes tied to legal paternity, this episode exposes why the Sands case has become a powerful example of how family court systems can protect procedure instead of people.

Civil Rights vs. Civil Wrongs: Inside the RICO Case Rocking Pennsylvania’s Family Court
Welcome to The Stand With Meg Show — where we defend parents’ rights, protect children, and give a voice to the voiceless. Today, we're pulling back the curtain on a jaw-dropping federal lawsuit that’s shaking the pillars of local government. In Jackson v. Ziccarelli et al. , one pro se father, a disabled combat veteran, takes on the entire Westmoreland County legal apparatus. Judges, DAs, police, lawyers, and agencies are all named in a civil RICO complaint alleging conspiracy, fraud, malicious prosecution, and the unlawful seizure of his children. We break down the 50+ page filing and federal docket to unpack the chilling claim at its core: that the family court system itself has been weaponized against the very people it’s sworn to protect. Is this just a custody dispute gone wrong or is it proof that justice has a price tag, and some are paying with their children? This is a masterclass in lawfare, courage, and the cost of speaking truth to power. Grab your notebook. This isn’t just a podcast. It’s a blueprint for every parent fighting back.

Blueprints of Justice: Two Mothers, Two Battles, One Broken System
Welcome to The Stand With Meg Show — Defending Parents’ Rights. Protecting Children. Giving a Voice to the Voiceless. Today’s episode is a masterclass in grit, grief, and the guts it takes to face down the family court system. We unpack two seismic legal battles: the decades-long civil rights case of Deanna Fogerty and her daughter Presley Hardwick in California, and the ongoing digital-fueled federal litigation of Meg’s story rooted in Missouri and Kansas. One is a war waged over twenty years for accountability. The other is a real-time campaign for visibility and systemic reform. What connects them? A mother’s unyielding love. What divides them? The legal playbook — and whether our courts still answer to the Constitution. From hidden GPS trackers to 30-page judicial findings, from state courts to federal dockets, we follow the legal strategies, the outcomes, and the immunity shields that make justice so elusive for families like yours. Because this isn’t just history — it’s a roadmap for parents who are still in the fire. And we’re here to say: you’re not crazy, you’re not alone, and you can fight back.

Fighting for Fairness: The 3-Day Deadline Debate in Federal Court

Kansas DCF — and the procedural battle threatening to silence a mother’s fight for justice. You’ll hear two powerful segments: The Deep Dive — A clear, factual unpacking of the arguments I filed in federal court, including allegations of due process violations, retaliation for protected speech, and bureaucratic failures that prolonged my forced separation from my children.

Family Court is Failing Our Kids: One Father’s Fight for Fairness
Welcome to The Stand With Meg Show — Defending Parents’ Rights. Protecting Children. Giving a Voice to the Voiceless. In today’s powerful episode, Meg is joined by Ben, founder of Menbuse and creator of the AI-powered custody tool "DocketMind." Together, they expose the silent epidemic of father erasure in family court and the cultural biases that pit mothers and fathers against each other — all while the court cashes in on broken homes. Ben opens up about the emotional and financial cost of fighting for 50/50 custody, how it reshaped his view of fatherhood, and why he believes the real audience is the kids. But this isn’t just about what Ben survived — it’s about what he’s building. He now coaches moms and dads behind the scenes, helping families stay out of court and resolve custody with wisdom, peace, and strength. This conversation is different. It’s not about blame — it’s about heart. Meg shares what she sees in Ben’s character and why his mission matters, and Ben reflects on Meg’s courage and how her voice has ignited hope in thousands. It’s a meeting of advocates, a meeting of warriors, and a meeting of hearts. This is not about taking sides. This is about truth. And about fighting for a system that honors both parents — and protects the child. — 🔗 Connect with Ben & Menbuse: 🌐 Website: https://menbuse.org 🎯 Donate: https://givebutter.com/MenbuseDonation 📱 Socials: @MenbuseUsORG — Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Threads 🌐 Website: StandWithMeg.com 📱 Socials: @StandWithMeg — Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, Threads 🎙️ Podcast: The Stand With Meg Show — available on Spotify, Apple, and YouTube ✉️ Contact: info@standwithmeg.com Support the show Thank you for listening to The Stand With Meg Show — Defending Parents’ Rights.

Life in Prison for Judges? Breaking down The Family Justice Accountability Act.
Welcome to The Stand With Meg Show — Defending Parents’ Rights. Protecting Children. Giving a Voice to the Voiceless. In today’s explosive episode, we deep dive into the most radical family court reform proposal ever written: the Family Justice & Accountability Act , authored by Francesca Amato .

What happens when a survivor refuses to stay silent—and runs for office? FROM SURVIVOR TO STATE REP: Melissa’s Fight Against Systemic Child Trafficking On this episode of The Stand With Meg Show , we rip the mask off a system that hides behind “protection” while families are torn apart. Melissa Steele—mother, survivor, and candidate for Illinois House, District 109 (2026) —shares how a lifetime of institutional failures pushed her from pain to purpose. From DCFS at the hospital within hours of birth, to years of alienation, turnover, and gag-order culture, Melissa names what so many of us have lived: systemic trafficking under color of law. This isn’t politics-as-parade. Melissa’s campaign is boots-on-the-ground: recovery work, community care, and real oversight. She’s partnering with Tiger Lily Resources to combat human trafficking and organizing through We the People for Melissa Steele —because true change takes courage and policy. We talk: Surviving childhood exploitation (without naming details while an investigation is active) and reclaiming the narrative DCFS/family court churn: 3 judges, 7 caseworkers, 5 supervisors— 35 strangers making life-altering decisions Parental alienation, supervised visits, and kids being placed in unsafe conditions (yes, even a closet ) “Color of law,” gag orders, and why accountability—not silence—is the cure Why Melissa’s running: term limits, community oversight boards in every county, and policy that protects bonds— not breaks them If you’re a parent who’s been called crazy, unfit, or “too loud”—you’re not. You’re not alone, and you’re not powerless. The system feeds on silence. We’re getting louder, smarter, and organized .
