Thank you for covering a story that should make national headlines- Medical doctors are routinely ignored by family courts while court appointed therapists with no medical degree- create opinion papers based on minimal time with families — where they often diagnose without a license, eliminate findings of medical professionals, and deliver recommendations changing custody upon which the court relies 100 percent It’s a destructive system that awards custody and moves children based on the the parent that finances the court appointed experts-
This mom could not have advocated better or made it more clear and the judge should be removed immediately.
Children are suffering daily from court ordered abuse and trauma -
And many lose and take their own lives as a result
This is truly a horror story on many levels. My heart goes to mum and to the daughters for their loss 💔. There are several questions one could and should ask and that’s not starting/ending with ‘how on earth this could have happened?’ - as one knows very well how crooked and corrupt the FC system is.
However questions such as:
1. Why Judge Cook and Judge Sebens still walk free? Their arrogant negligence caused the death of a vulnerable child which is technically manslaughter. Why the father is not charged with the same?
2. What was the father’s true initiative for fighting ferociously to obtain custody and has anyone looked into that? (Whether he had the right care set up or not at his place is only secondary to why he wanted so desperately sole custody of a severely fragile child with already poor prognosis of survival)?
3. Was this because the father has been controlling over the mum and his child(ren) weaponising his own son (which is a form of child abuse)?
4. Has anyone acted as an advocate/medical professional for this vulnerable boy clearly not being able to express himself?
5. Even if there was a legally binding court order (issued by two judges in two separate states) in place - why those medical professionals caring for a highly dependent on his own needs, requiring specialist care environment to survive underaged boy allowed this child’s interstate transfer?
A medical professional is obliged to act in their patient’s best interest under the principle of ‘nil nocere’/‘do no harm’ so consequently if knows that a decision would cause harm to the patient, they should avoid that - they could have refused this boy’s interstate transfer and should have gone back to the court for an urgent court of protection order (even if the above judges had declared this action of theirs possible contempt).
That would have caused some noise publicly, however this boy might still be alive in the same care facility even if his mother was cut out from his care or contact.
6. On what possible ground the father had the right to ask the court to pull this fragile, non-verbal boy out of a specialist care unit, esp. following a life-threatening event of seizure/aspiration etc?
These all take us back to Q1: how on earth these judges walk free and practice law? How on earth the father (already convicted on previous physical abuse) hasn’t been charged with negligence/abuse resulting in his son’s death?
Maybe another take home message is that doctors should take their oath seriously - even if that means non-compliance with an unsafe court order but saves the life of the vulnerable and dependent. If the professionals at the Ohio facility had said a mutually agreed, well-reasoned robust ‘no’ then the transfer wouldn’t have happened and while Judge Cook and Judge Sebens would have faced public scrutiny yet this boy would probably be still alive.
The problem is that everyone fears FC the most, all for their uncontrolled and unscrutinised powers usually resulting in the most unforgivable and unforgettable, tedious abuse one can only imagine unless they’ve experienced the same on their own skin themselves.
This story should be headlines on every news station in this country yet no one other than you has covered it. It is infuriating that this continues to happen without national attention. My condolences to the family.

My heart breaks for that family. Ryder should still be here.
