Slam the Gavel

Slam the Gavel welcomes back Amanda Story who was last on Season 4, Episode 142, and Crystal Salazar Season 5, Episode 174. 
       Today we discussed the major human rights issue in the United States — the fact that America still does not have a fully independent National Human Rights Institution (NHRI) aligned with the UN Paris Principles, despite international efforts dating back to the 1990s.
       In 2023, the NHRI for USA campaign publicly pushed for the creation of one, and in 2025 the Institute for Advancement of Justice & Human Rights (IAJ) launched as an independent organization working toward human rights investigations, accountability, and advocacy surrounding issues such as family court abuses, CPS misconduct, disability rights, and systemic due process concerns.
       We talked about both the broader national implications and Crystal’s personal experience — including her Texas CPS case, international human rights findings connected to her situation, and her current asylum journey to the UK — as part of a larger conversation about why independent human rights oversight in the U.S. matters.

Slam The Gavel welcomes back Carrie Haight to the podcast. Carrie was last on Season 5, Episodes 185, 221, 266, and 321. We discussed her first podcast as a reference, "No One Would Listen." From there we talked about a solution to the CPS debacle and how it can easily be dissolved. Defund CPS, not law enforcement. Also how false allegations should really be handled by the police.
   Next, we discussed how a judge has a picture of her daughter up on his chamber wall without written consent. Carrie also described her daughter's medical issues that have not been resolved and how she fainted in a department store and had to be rushed to a nearby ER.
    We talked about the video on YouTube, "Hollywood LIED About Michael Jackson & Now They're Lying About Trump, " courtesy of @DDayCobra2.

Slam the Gavel welcomes back Lisa Goodpaster to the podcast. Lisa was last on Season 4, Episode 71 where we discussed her book, "Alienated, When Parents Won't Parent." Her work exposes a major gap in the frameworks used throughout the Parental Alienation space. The frameworks that are used in the courts to decide the child's best interest have never included a child's biology: the nervous system. That's no small oversight, IT IS A MASSIVE MISTAKE. Once parents understand the enormity of this, it becomes impossible not to see it.
Today, we discussed why the biggest disruption in the child's biology has never been included in the courts.
