… And Again, Responses are Flooding in Like No Other Time

The Weekend Show interviewed me on anti-abortion laws, misogyny, sexual abuse, and child abuse in the context of Donald Trump, which led to my broaching the subject of Family Courts in an uncommon venue (Family Courts begin at around 52:00 and end at 60:00):

LIVE: Top Psych DIAGNOSES Trump’s Latest Public COLLAPSE

Never do I receive a flood of messages as when I mention Family Courts; not even my speaking up against Donald Trump, since the start of his presidency, has ever produced such a response — including overwhelming inundations of emails. More immediately, a startled audience commented emotionally with the following:

Incredible discussion Anthony and Dr. Lee, if only those who need to hear this information could listen.

​​OMG!!

Wow.

Thank you Dr Lee for giving a voice to those who don’t have one.

Finally! I love Dr. Lee!

​​WOW Dr. Lee.

​​MONEY TALKS EVERYWHERE!

Follow the money….

They’re HIDING pedophiles because that’s the perfect place to hide.

​​Startling statistic.

Amen. if moms say the children are being abused by the father, the courts say the mother has brainwashed the kids and the kids need to be taken from her and put with the abusive father.

Yes, women and children are dying from this Abuse.

​​WTF! THIS HAS TO STOP!

So sad.

​​Family courts pay pedophiles to abuse children.

​​Children have no rights in family court. That is an understatement.

Exactly right about family courts.

​​10k watching! Get educated!

​​Most judges are men (fact), but women also can be inclined towards allowing pedophilia if they too were groomed into it.

​​Who REALLY is safe?…

Oklahoma has women in prison for their children being abused by other adults.

Yes, they get more time than the abusers sometimes serving life.

That is like the 4th horrible thing about Oklahoma I’ve heard about their laws and courts. Disgusting.

It starts from the top.

QAnon was projecting what they themselves do. Our judiciary system is based on white supremacy, so of course it’s a hidden secret about the court system and children.

​This is chilling. I had a terrible experience in family court while trying to leave my abusive ex.

Those are the real child traffickers, if you ask me.

10k watching and over 9k likes. Excellent!

That’s disturbing AF!

Family Courts aren’t on the side of the kids, they are all about profit, nothing more. If they can keep the high conflict going it equates to money, money, money.

All I can say is WOW!!

​​Hope she presents her evidence for those statistics.

Creepy American Culture.

Have heard of this forced reunion.

​​THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING UP FOR US!!!!!

​​You are absolutely right about Family Courts.

​​Family courts are absolutely the worst with human rights.

Yea, it’s insidious.

Thank you, Dr Lee!!!! My experience of family court is exactly this. The people who are a part of it have twisted so much. Children know that even if they get their own lawyer, they will not be heard.

​​Please Continue to Educate us, Dr. Lee!!!!

Social Workers burn out SO fast! They can’t win no matter what, they battle public perception & assumptions, the courts themselves, and their own nightmares because of the shit they see.

Family courts are killing women and children in unprecedented numbers! End this atrocity!

Where can I learn about this family court problem?

Family courts exploit women and children.

​​Thank you, Dr. Lee, for bringing light to this subject.

Yes, women in OK sometimes get life but way more time than the abuser

WOW. I did not know this about Family Courts.

It Just Happens​​crazy from the top down.

The treadmill boy.

My GOD, unreal your information about family services, making me go out of my mind, MY LORD.

It could have been me…. I was lucky.

​​The judge is an abuser also … allowing it.

This is how you “word weave.” Thank you, Dr. Bandy Lee.

Why? How? How do they get away with it? Project 2025 would make it worse. Old guys would claim a 12 year old by violating and knocking her up, then she would be given as his wife for a life of hell.

What is up with family courts??!! They need to be outlawed!!!

Most family court is custody.

Foster care system is broken.

​​Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere

OMG. I have no words. Horrific.

This is sickening. I worked in Family Court a couple of times and requested not to go there again.

This has happened to me. Family court took my 13 year old daughter away from me. She didn’t want to live with her mother. The court didn’t allow her to choose.

Family court summarized- Judge- he abused you, not the kids. He will have visits/shared custody…. Days, months, years later most of those children are murdered. It’s ridiculous.

It’s all about access to sick f*ks.

Why would they remove a child from a safe situation to a dangerous situation?

For profit Family Courts are like for profit Prisons.

How to heal such a broken heart….

​This is what happened to me when trying to protect my three daughters from their father, a sexual predator. It took 6 yrs to stop him, and it wasn’t the courts. It was intervention from a Senator.

My heart is now broken.

​​So evil.

In the absence of a jury and a licensed mental health practitioner these children are at an increased and significant exposure to adverse childhood events.

It’s a turnover. Victims become predators.

Thank you for speaking out, Dr Lee.

Dr. Lee is right about family court. Look at the drugs and alcohol involved with indigenous people, and look at how many of the women are missing.

​​That’s right, Dr Lee. Childhood trauma takes a lifetime to heal.

Broken, unspoken.

Such a fantastic episode tonight.

It’s not right. I’m glad to hear someone speaking on your platform about this.

Parents have more rights than do the children in family court.

​So tragic to hear about how children are treated by family courts. How can citizens help to change that?

A similar thing is happening, children being seized from a good parent or parents, with seniors, or the disabled, that have assets being seized into the court appointed guardianship racket.

Has happened tooo much!!

And this does not happen in poor families only.

Shady wants mothers to stay with their abusers. Trust me, divorce is never easy especially when you have kids. It’s not like he says. He has no concept of reality, just like Trump does not know.

Grow up to end up with men just like their parents and repeat the cycle…. We sooo need more public education on the matter.

​Totally agree, untrained FC judges couldn’t care less about domestic violence. Corrupt and unethical. Many fraud psychologists or “custody evaluators” in FC who LIE and ignore facts. Impacted my children.

Thank You for being a voice, Dr. Bandy Lee. Keep it going…. Those children and families need a voice.

Dr. Lee you are a courageous person. I appreciate you speaking up about Family Courts tonight. And for continuing to educate the public on DJT.

This Weekend Show is a Beautiful Educational Program. I love it, and I enjoy listening and Learning from Dr. Lee. And Anthony asks some Serious and Critical Questions too. Thank you both!

Evangelicals to catholic abuse of children to family court abuse.

Dr. Lee is spot on. As a mental health nurse in child adolescence for the last 43 years, the insufficient systems in place need be overhauled.

Thank you, Anthony and Dr Bandy Lee!
