    988 HOTLINE NIGHTMARE; With Alicia, Morgan and Kelly Patton

    Slam The Gavel podcast welcomes back Kelly Patton and new guests Alicia and Morgan. Alicia is a mom with a Master's in Child Adolescent Development Psychology degree and a Bachelor's in Addiction Counseling. She is also a Certified Peer Support Specialist. Yet she cannot see her son, who has Autism, and it all started with a 988 Hotline call. Alicia and her husband, Morgan, also learned that their son was on the Missing and Exploited Children's list and was never taken off that list. The question is: who put their son on that list to begin with, and why didn't they give him his prescribed medication?  Their son has bounced from three foster homes and is not given proper care when he has a mother with all the abilities to do so.

    Crimes Parents Commit; With Theo Chino

    Slam The Gavel Podcast welcomes back Theo Chino of billingassetrecovery.com. Today we discussed how most of the high earning Family Law attorneys used to work in the Prosecutors Office where they became EXPERTS at separating two suspects and lying to them in order to get them to help prosecute the other party. In Family Law cases, the biggest crime two parents can commit against the attorneys is to NOT be against the other parent. IF every parent didn't use these attorneys to LIE and coach them to LIE, their fees would dwindle to mere pennies.

    Love And Tyranny; With Author, Dean Pappas

    Slam The Gavel Podcast welcomes new guest, author Dean Pappas. Dean Pappas is the author of "Love and Tyranny," found on Amazon. This book is interweaved with family threads, four parts,  and three interludes in the Obsidian bar. We had a great conversation regarding Parental Alienation, Reunification, Child Psychological Abu$se and Kayden's Law.      Dean discussed his activities in his daughter's life as he was the Rugby coach, the PTA dad, and the program-builder. Then when his daughter turned 14, his ex-wife took custody up until the age of 18.  What Dean wants to leave all of us with is to "Do everything right. Love your child more than your own life. It will not be enough."

    To Hell And Back: The Conservatorship; With Rick Lobo

    Slam The Gavel welcomes Rick Lobo to the podcast. Rick has recently published his book, "The Trifecta Code,  When Crisis Becomes the Catalyst for Profound Change," #1 Best Seller on Amazon in August, 2026. This memoir is about making the journey through the hardest seasons of life instead of walking around them.      On 10-4-2019, Rick's father showed up on his doorstep, unannounced. He explained to his son, that his wife, Rick's mother - who has mental illness - had attacked him. Rick was suddenly the one who had to figure out what happened. He was advised to pursue a conservatorship. However no one told Rick how hard that process would be. A Temporary Conservatorship was granted in 2020. Covid hit in March and everything got pushed back in the courts. What followed was three years of a battle Rick had not expected. Not just against the courts, but against his whole family. His mother had passed away on 9-20-23. Rick had seen her four days earlier. Rick is still in the battle to this day.....

    Message To My Son; With Natalia Dalton

    Slam The Gavel welcomes back Natalia Dalton. Natalia, was last on the podcast Season 6, Episode 366. She discussed what it was like to grow up being raised by a Narcissistic parent, then finding herself unknowingly getting involved with a man with those same traits. Now, her son's education is in a precarious position. Natalia dedicated a song to her son: "Rescue," by Laura Daigle.      Discussing how the courts "got it wrong," is an understatement when handing a vulnerable child over to THE WRONG PARENT. However, Natalia went to the courts for help, wanting the father to be involved in their son's life.
