Cease-and-Desist Letter
Against Mr. Christopher Ambrose — but the Real Problem is the Family Courts
Perpetrators are punished and witnesses are protected in criminal courts, but the reverse is true in Family Courts. The conciliatory-sounding name, “Family Courts,” conceals the horrific fact that these so-called “courts” are centers of serial kidnapping, serial murders, and a modern-day child slave trade — not as accidental mishaps but as a regular, systematic practice and a culture. Judicial “immunity”, practiced as impunity, actually makes them “anti-courts,” where the most violent, sadistic, and dangerous individuals congregate. Family Courts, as the hiding place of the worst criminals in society, do not protect the innocent but are the epicenter of human rights violations, including human trafficking, pedophilic sex rings, and child pornography production — through which an upward of 175 billion dollars flow each year in the U.S. alone. When a senior colleague expert witness once said to me of Family Courts, “They are very corrupt,” I had no idea that he was referring to the coverup, essentially, of psychic genocide (literally, “psychological killing of a kind”; i.e., children and parents who report abuse) — at a rate of 160 children per day, and an unknown number of loving parents, of which the suicides, murders, and suicide-murders are only the tip of the iceberg.
What most people do not know is that child abuse is extremely common (1 in 5 children for sexual abuse and 1 in 4 for physical abuse severe enough to leave a mark, according to the most comprehensive Centers for Disease and Prevention data), and that the vast majority (some say 90 percent) of Family Court cases concern child abuse and domestic violence — of which Family Court has created a veritable industry. By pretending in almost every case (98 percent in my experience) that the abuser is not the abuser and only the reporter of abuse is “the abuser” — and selling this as a “service” — Family Courts pit the most dangerous individuals society produces against the most vulnerable and innocent. Not only that, Family Courts escalate child battery, rape, and murder when they “fix” results to protect predators and issue illegal “court orders” to tip the scales in favor of perpetrators (as well as to hide their and the Court’s own crimes by “sealing” all records). They also have the power to decimate would-be witnesses through near-universal gag orders, which have a uniform progression: finding of “contempt”, incarceration without bail, and then liquidation of assets so that victims cannot fight back. Eventually, the good parent loses not just her children but everything else. Here is the latest update on a case in which I have been retained as expert witness, and I certify that every unbelievable piece of information is correct. The hardest thing in Family Court is to get a real expert admitted; only fraudulent witnesses with a master’s degree and sometimes no license are elevated to “expert” status in Family Court and shielded from oversight bodies, while psychiatrists such as myself are shunned (the worst I have heard of is a non-doctorate “counselor” charging a half-million dollars for her report — around ten to twenty times my fees as a psychiatrst!).
Judge Thomas O’Neill finally agreed to hear from me as a fact witness — not as an expert witness — on September 23, 2024, after I made three trips to the Connecticut Family Court in vain. Yet, when I expressed my fear for my own life and pleaded with him to issue a protective order against Mr. Christopher Ambrose — the violent father who was awarded sole custody of his three children — for stalking and harassing me for almost a year and a half to intimidate me as a witness, it fell on deaf ears. This should not be surprising, since the judge only issued a protective order against the loving mother, when her suicidal and self-harming children risked everything to run away from their violent father to be with her (she was not allowed to contact them by court order for three-and-a-half years, but the judge decided that her “coercive control” extended across all those years of no contact to “coerce” them to run away from their good and rightful parent!). This is one of the more egregious cases for which I have examined the evidence, and more about it can be read here. The 17-year-old daughter is once again hiding from her father, and I testified that she was terrified to go to a clinic, even after being raped for the third time and being traumatized, lest the Court send her back to him, which they inevitably will (all this was conveniently “stricken from the record,” since the judge had not admitted me as an expert witness). The judge had similarly blocked the testimonies of these 17-, 17-, and 13-year-old children even though the U.S. Congress underscored the importance of children, especially those over 12, having a say in their custody placement through the Child and Family Service Improvement Act of 2006. I stated on the record that Judge O’Neill’s manner of: (a) refusing to admit evidence; (b) using existing evidence only as a pointer to concoct false “evidence”; and (c) condoning litigation abuse for the uniform practice of transferring children from the nurturing parent to their abuser, is precisely why there needs to be a moratorium on Family Courts.
Societies would find ways to contain sick, disturbed, and dangerous abusers if Family Courts did not interfere, but these “Courts” do so regularly with the police, the criminal courts, and the Department of Children and Families. Because all limits are lifted, abusers expand and balloon in their pathology and public health threat without concern for prosecution and even being given “legal” cover for whatever violence they wish to commit. Below is the cease-and-desist letter I wrote and will follow up on with a motion for a protective order, with criminal complaints, and with lawsuits if he makes another move (although he will likely be unable to help himself), until some mechanism outside of the dysfunctional Family Court system finally works:
September 29, 2024
Mr. Ambrose:
I demand that you cease and desist contacting, stalking, and/or harassing me or any of my past or present affiliates, be they colleagues, associates, or institutions.
As you are aware, I reported you to multiple police precincts because of your unsolicited contact of me ever since you learned that I was retained as an expert witness in your family court case. Even though I have no obligation to you and was fulfilling my duty as a mandated reporter of child abuse, you harassed me with letters consisting of dozens, if not hundreds, of pages of threatening and coercive content, in order to interfere with my fulfilling my professional duties. Now, you have heard me testify in court that I believe you are attempting to tamper with and intimidate me as a witness, since I have affirmed your extreme violence against your children and ex-spouse, as well as your preliminary diagnosis of a dangerous personality disorder.
Yet, in less than a week since, you have contacted three dozen more of my affiliates, especially in relation to a major national conference I was organizing. I kept the identities of the presenters private, precisely so that you would not have an opportunity to harass them, and yet you managed to find them out anyhow. This would not have been possible without the kind of obsessive, pathological, and intense stalking of which I accused you but which you denied just recently in court on September 23, 2024. Now, you have proven that you are engaging in a campaign of stalking, harassment, spreading of fraudulent information, and targeted character assassination, because I am a witness against you.
This would not be the first time. I am well aware of your extensive history of targeting, intimidating, and retaliating against witnesses by incessantly contacting their employers and getting them fired — which has happened to two people so far — so that they would think twice about testifying against you. Your ex-wife has lost many witnesses and social supports as a result, for you did not stop until you exhausted or frightened every one of them. On one occasion, you manipulated the FBI and orchestrated a false SWAT raid, based on pathological lies. This is the very material I examined for your preliminary diagnosis of psychopathy, which does not necessarily require a personal interview of the perpetrator (instead, studies show that interviews of victims are far preferable, which I have performed).
Against your ex-wife, you filed an astounding sixty motions, all in order to “DARVO” (deny, attack, and reverse victim and offender), so that you might deflect from charges against you — and have succeeded. In my case, I have counted up to almost fifty persons or departments you have contacted in order to harass me. Through these extreme actions, you are only confirming that you are dangerously disturbed, and that my diagnosis of your dangerous disorder is probably correct. Should you contact me or anyone connected to me ever again, I will move for your arrest. Please be guided accordingly.
Sincerely,
Bandy X. Lee, M.D., M.Div.
