Up and Down the State Family Court in the News

IcpS1m9bOj6hU2wFw4BPbrKUuazUjbQXMoI1xQK4L5nvenJDll-fQKq3YQqS7X3Df3edEHbwXHrB8-ekxaYp3owNX6WtLzmMPJslTa1xSznNLfEGw92T0omzQ1KseTwc3kO4osRZmOpH7WOLbH1BfhQ1KziIAfJQ4jm7NVKUJHYgW3dZujS5O27zTnJyiAGe-270Kxg_o3-JQ7LOMM9vtvLGNk=" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;">California Family Courts Helping Pedophiles, Batterers get Child Custody" is what I was referring to. I prior mentioned grant money is how the gov't is steering the cases and grant money coming from various directions. I'm suspicious the courts decisions may also be controlled by the not open for public record Inns of Court. The complaints were so numerous that the CA State Auditor took the top 2 counties with the most complaints and did an audit of the Courts. This group worked hard to get as far as they have come, a State Audit. I copied the Audit Report link below.

Honest courts, honest judges and justice is needed, appears all over the world. Otherwise the crooks go free.

Please take a moment to read these four amazing stories about the crisis in the family courts. Since the Jan. 20 release of the State Auditor's report on the Marin and Sacramento family courts, there has been an onslaught of articles written about the crisis. From L.A. to Sacramento, investigative journalists have been exposing the problems and players that have been plaguing our family courts for decades. This recent swell of press is highlighted by the SF Weekly's in-depth investigative story about California's broken family court system - one of the most comprehensive stories ever written about the family court crisis.

Kathleen Russell sought out SF Weekly's Peter Jamison and worked with him for over four months to make the story a reality. CJE also worked closely to generate the Union and Capitol Weekly articles. We strongly encourage all of our supporters to click on the link, read the article (if you have not done so already) and post a comment in the comments section.
