Thank you for exposing the nightmares of family court. It's the same story over and over again, just different names.

This is unspeakable. What recourse do these mothers have, if the courts and the "Child Protective Services" are working together to run a lucrative child trafficking operation? When Senator Nancy Schaefer, back in the early to mid 2000s, stood up to these loathsome monsters, she and her husband were MURDERED. She had a documentary made, about to expose them and they killed her, as well as her husband and the courts ruled it a murder/suicide. How do you fight this monstrous force of evil? John McCain and his wife were involved in the trafficking, and used their foundation to facillitate their horrendous crimes. Joe Biden is involved in trafficking on our southern border, making BILLIONS of dollars, through the cartels. Our government is corrupt to the bone and I see no way out. I'm beyond ashamed and sickened.

It goes so far beyond greed, it's terrifying. They're psychopaths, they're incapable of caring about our children. They deliberately position themselves in these departments and institutions, for the express purpose of taking our children. These people are pedophiles and abusers. There, I said it. It's hard to face, but until we do, we can't stop them.

Exactly. How often does this have to happen before we accept it for what it is? The government is not our friend. They're not even hiding it anymore, bc they think they're untouchable and there's nothing we can do about it. I certainly hope your experience worked out for you.

One of these days I will be able to give all glory to the Creator because I do believe He is going to restore. But I (and many) have a lot to continue learning and a lot of strengthening to do to be equipped to take down all of this. As of this moment, no my babes are still in it. And my experience is quite similar to these other mamas, except I pray that I never have to face the ‘final’ pain they now endure. Do you mind me asking how you also know so much? Have you gone through this nightmare as well?

So sorry to hear you're still entangled in that web. I did go through a very contentious custody fight, but luckily it only cost me nearly $20,000 and no brush with the family courts/CPS. I only know of any of this because of my own research, stemming from child trafficking in the Marshall Islands, where I once lived and delving into the horrible, corrupt democrat party. Mind you, some republicans are equally involved and guilty, but at least some of them are good, decent people and I can't say the same about ANY democrats. Thank you for taking the time to respond to me. I appreciate any and all interactions that add to my knowledge.

You are the abusive parent as the FACTA show. You even abuse the child in death. Shame on you. You did NOT have custody. The child was not transported out of state. You did not see the child even as the father was willing to pay for transportation. Your vile hate is what killed him. Shame shame shame ! At least he had the father who loved him.

Mike Schmidt, whoever you may be, I sincerely hope the money you received to post these comments is worth it to you. Until you have experienced the unimaginable pain of burying your only child at the age of 6, until the last time you saw your child was at his funeral—his small body in a box, his head misshapen from the autopsy—you have no right to post such cruel and heartless remarks here. Until you've endured that sorrow, until your mind is consumed every moment with the image of your child in that box, I ask you, please, do not dare to comment.

You claim to know what happened to my baby, yet in the same breath, you dismiss it as some conspiracy theory. If you truly know, then share the truth. But don’t you dare pretend to understand what it is like to wake up every day knowing your child—your heart, your soul, your entire world—is gone.

Adam was the sweetest, most loving, and kind child, and you never even met him. My son deserves more respect than to be dragged into some baseless nonsense from someone who has no understanding of anything. Take care of your own affairs, and please, don’t speak of my child again.

Everyone has their right to free speech and their own opinions. But, let's please try to employ compassion. Elena's child is dead.

Thank you, Richard, for your compassion and understanding. The death of my son, Adam, is a pain beyond words, and I truly appreciate you recognizing the importance of empathy in these conversations. While differing opinions are inevitable, I hope we can all remember the humanity that should remain at the heart of these discussions.

Unfortunately, it seems that Michael Schmitt’s primary goal is not to engage in meaningful dialogue, but to express his hatred for mothers and women. His comments are not only deeply hurtful, but they also distract from the real issue—the failures of family courts. It’s disheartening to witness his attacks on mothers. It's clear he may be projecting his own bad experiences, which has sadly led to his misplaced hatred.

If you want meaningful dialougue why don't you tell us the cause of death and how exactly his father caused it. That is all I ask. I could be completely wrong. Was he poisined ? Was he shot ? What did the father do to cause the death. Can you answer that?

Your comment is both false and cruel. My love for my child was and always will be unconditional and boundless, and nothing could ever diminish that. To suggest otherwise is an attempt to distort the truth and attack me during an already painful time.

I will not engage in a back-and-forth based on hurtful lies. My priority has always been the well-being of my child, and it remains on seeking justice in the face of this tragedy.

I urge you to consider the harm your words cause and to refrain from making baseless and damaging accusations.

Expand full comment

Your accusation is not only baseless but cruel. What exactly makes you think I am a "deadbeat mother"? What didn’t I do for my child? Your statement doesn’t even make any sense. I fought endlessly for Adam’s safety, well-being, and happiness. I was there for him, providing love, support, and protection, even when the system failed him. To suggest that I hated his father more than I loved my child is not only false, but deeply offensive to the reality of my devotion as a mother.

Every decision I made was driven by the desire to protect my child. It’s easy for you to make reckless accusations without knowing the truth, but I lived through the pain, the sacrifices, and the constant fight to give Adam the life he deserved. The fact that he tragically died because of his father. Nothing can't diminish my endless love for Adam.

Your comment is not only deeply hurtful, but it is also based on false information. The loss of my child is a pain beyond words, a tragedy no parent should ever have to face. To suggest that I would exploit this unimaginable grief for attention is both untrue and profoundly offensive. The fact that you would make such an accusation says more about your character than mine.

You have absolutely no right to spread false accusations about me and my child—whom I gave birth to, loved, and raised. I am devastated to see my child's death being used by you as a weapon against me.

My focus remains on seeking justice for my child and ensuring no other family has to endure this same heartbreak. I strongly urge you to stop making harmful and baseless accusations. This kind of attack is not only unwarranted, but deeply damaging and cruel.

This is another disturbing case where there is a trend of mothers coaching children to make false sexual allegations against fathers to gain custody of their children. This is very clear in that this 4-year-old child repeated verbatim the same story over and over again against a man who has never been accused of anything before. We saw this in the cases of Catherine Kassenoff and Elizabeth Harding Weinstein, two severely mentally ill women who destroyed not only their former spouses but also their children. The "evidence" is always the mother's word. The media is complicit in repeating these stories and never even talking to the fathers in these situations so all we hear is one side. The judges hear both sides and that is why we are "surprised".

I like his point on media complicity and heuristics. We hear stories about 5% of Family Court cases and they get 95% of the oxygen. And they are the "outliers." The most heinous. The ones that get reads and clicks.

The larger question is whether we should be legislating for the 5 or the 95.

Also, I try to reach both sides when I write a story. Many don't.

I think the REAL story here is not that all these men, CPS, AFCs, and judges are involved in some massive pedophile ring and stealing custody from "protective mothers". The real story is that there seems to be a rampant mental issue of women making false allegations against men for custody or out of spite, We see this in this case here, we see it with the Kassenoff case, we see it in the Elizabeth Harding Weinstein case and many many others. And the so-called "Women's Coalition" is a leading proponent of this conspiracy theory. If courts are biased, they are clearly biased in favor of mothers who get sole custody in 75-80% of the cases where it is challenged by the father who, therefore, usually don't even try. So if a mother like the ones here, Kassenoff and Weinstein actually lose custody it must be for good reason. And a common theme I see, is their bizarre false allegations which never have any foundation and backfires against them time again and again. Clearly, a real pedophile would be caught and punished severely as we see many times and usually its women. So this bizarre fetish they have on making false accusations in the realm of custody matters is something we should write about. Too many times, these allegations get publicized but there is no follow up. Look at the Weinstein case. It was ultimately proven she was a whack job, destroyed her husband, children and herself and no one talks about the wreckage she left behind. These women lie, make horrible accusations with zero accountability, That's the scandal. That's the story that needs to be reported.

These fathers do not strike me as wishing the best for their children. Rather, they're vicious and vindictive and use their wealth to inflict as much harm as possible. Where is your proof that these men are innocent? Perhaps you yourself have a stake in this despicable enterprise.

Expand full comment

You know nothing about these men. My proof is that they have not been charged with not to mention convicted of any crime. Or does the US Constitution have no meaning to you? On the other hand, judges, who actually heard all the evidence, found these mothers to be liars, unfit and awarded custody to the fathers. That’s my evidence. You insinuating I have a “stake” in this proves you have zero arguments and zero facts to back up your misandry.

Expand full comment

Your response seems to misunderstand both the nature of the legal system and the perspective that JB808 is presenting. The absence of charges or convictions does not inherently prove innocence, nor does it invalidate the experiences of those who have been harmed. Legal outcomes are not always perfect reflections of justice, and many cases of abuse, manipulation, or coercion go unpunished due to systemic shortcomings. Relying solely on legal decisions as proof overlooks the complexities involved in many family court cases.

Advocating for the rights and well-being of mothers is not the same as hating men. It’s disheartening that you interpret the efforts of these women—who were trying to protect their children—as misandry.

As for your point about the children, their reactions to traumatic situations are often complex, and estrangement can result from many factors beyond what might appear on the surface. It’s important not to oversimplify these dynamics or assume that mothers are always at fault based on court rulings alone.

Finally, I ask that you refrain from personal attacks, as they do nothing to advance a constructive conversation. Our focus should be on addressing the systemic issues in family courts, not resorting to personal insults.

Expand full comment

I hate to break it to you but the absence of convictions DO inherently prove innocence. Have you not heard the expression “innocent until proven guilty”? Legal outcomes at not perfect but your behavior in light of these events prove to me how uncaring, and cruel you are. It’s ironic that you criticize me for personal attacks after attacking me first not to mention destroying your child and his father through personal attacks. The place to decide these issues are in courts. If you don’t like the outcome you can appeal. But publicly trashing a man who was proven in court to be the better parent with no other facts is abhorrent.

Expand full comment

I understand the principle of "innocent until proven guilty," but the absence of convictions does not automatically equate to innocence, especially in cases where the legal system may fail to protect the vulnerable. Not every wrong is fully addressed by a courtroom decision, and many injustices go unpunished due to the limitations within the system.

As for your claim about personal attacks, I’ve consistently focused on the facts and my own lived experiences, not on attacking anyone personally. My priority has always been seeking justice and protecting my child, not engaging in character assassination. It’s deeply painful to see my efforts to protect my child being misconstrued as cruelty.

Speaking out about systemic failures is not "publicly trashing" anyone but advocating for changes that could prevent more families from enduring the same tragedy.

As for your claim that my son't father was "proven" to be the better parent—how can that be true when he failed in the most fundamental duty, which is to protect and care for his own child? The better parent keeps their child alive and safe, and that wasn’t the case here. Your accusations and defense of him suggest a personal bias or involvement, and I can't help but wonder if you were hired by him to write this nonsense.

You are seeking revenge not justice. False allegations and conspiracy theories prove the unfitness of a parent.

Expand full comment

When you say, "You know nothing about these men," it seems like you're speaking about yourself. You don’t know these men like we do. We lived with them, we had children with them, and we endured firsthand what they did to us and our kids. It’s easy to judge from the outside, but living through it is far more complex and painful than you can imagine.

Our experiences are real and valid. Dismissing them won’t erase the harm that was done, nor will it change the truth of what we lived through.

Expand full comment

I am sure you were no picnic either. But independent judges heard both sides and awarded custody to the fathers. That doesn’t give you the right to keep bashing them publicly and damaging the children more. How is hurting fathers with obviously false allegations and conspiracy theories helping the children? You do know they will see their father’s names being trashed and will be picked on by other children. But you don’t give a damn about them after all.

Expand full comment

Your comment is not only insensitive, but it also completely ignores the reality of my situation. My child is dead because of his father —there is no conspiracy theory in that fact. You have no idea what I endured or what my child endured. So, before making assumptions about me, ask yourself what kind of parent allows their own child to die under their watch. That is the reality, not some baseless accusation.

Independent judges may have ruled on custody, but that doesn’t mean the system is infallible. I have every right to speak up about the truth and fight for justice for my child. My speaking out is not about “bashing” fathers, but about shedding light on the failures of a system that left my child dead!

As for your concern about hurting fathers—what about the damage done to the children when those entrusted with their care fail them completely? The idea that I don’t care about my child is not only false, but it’s deeply offensive. I cared about my child more than anything, and that’s why I won’t remain silent about what happened. The real harm here isn’t me speaking the truth, but the tragedy of a child’s death being brushed aside.

99% of mothers win custody of their children. If you are in that small minority; maybe the problem is you, not the system. As a male with sole custody, I saw bias against men and the statistics back me up. Fortunately, I had a very rare, good judge who care about the child rather than automatically giving custody to the mother.

An allegation is not proof. This is one sided to the point of ridiculousness. By all accounts and investigations Jimmy Cerveaux proved himself to be a great father as well as a successful businessman who has been destroyed by a seriously mentally ill mother. This financial destruction extends to the child here.

Because Jimmy has remained mum, the picture is what it is. I wish the fucking guy would reach out with comment. Even if he or his reps said, "This is all bullshit," I would be able to publish something. The problem is that his lawyers probably have him on lockdown. While silence is often the best strategy legally, it makes you look guilty in the public square.

There are ethics rules that prohibit his attorneys from commenting as you should know. This is basically defamation. They couldn’t win in the courtroom, where this belongs, so they go on a public attack destroying the father and the family. If a judge listened to all the facts and gave me a decision I disagreed with, I would take some time to do some self-reflection. Never would I destroy the other parent and my child out of vindictiveness. This woman clearly (to me) has a mental disorder which is supported by the decision. 90% of women get custody so if there is a bias, it is not in favor of men.

Your comment seems less about the facts of the case and more about your underlying bias against women and mothers and your boundless hatred towards them. Your baseless accusations against mothers only highlight your personal agenda, not the truth.

If a judge heard all the evidence and you lost custody, how is that baseless? He was the better parent. Why repeatedly say the child was taken over state lines when his legal primary residence was in Florida? How am I attacking all mothers? I am discussing this case only. There are plenty of fit mothers who have custody. In fact, the vast majority of mothers have custody.

Expand full comment

First, it seems you’re not familiar with the case at all, as your statements are factually incorrect. In 2019, the father’s relocation request to Florida was denied by a previous judge, and I had primary custody of my child. Then, in 2022, a new judge decided to move my child to Florida, despite the earlier ruling. I did not lose custody, but I was forced to travel back and forth to Florida at my own expense just to see my child. During the trial, the father couldn’t even name his own son’s friends, which clearly shows how disconnected he was from Adam’s life.

Your claim that he was the "better parent" is particularly hard to accept given the tragic reality that he is responsible for Adam’s death. Being a parent means more than just having legal custody—it means protecting and caring for your child, and he failed in the most fundamental way.

As for your assertion that you’re not attacking mothers, your broader comments suggest a clear bias against mothers who are fighting for their children. Yes, many mothers do have custody, but that does not invalidate the struggles of those who are unjustly separated from their children due to systemic failures in family courts. This case is not an isolated issue; it reflects those larger failures that continue to impact countless families.
