I’m honored to introduce to you today: Father, Marine veteran, author and writer, Family Court victim, whistleblower, and absolute warrior in a battle for his children: Jim Sisco

Jim was referred to me by podcast regular and investigative journalist, Mike Volpe, and has an incredibly harrowing and ongoing family court case he is going to present today. He has been in a 2-year custody battle with his ex-wife who currently has full custody of his 3 children. As you’ve seen many times on this podcast, the proceedings in Family Court take advantage of good parents at the expense of children and rulings oftentimes - and horrifically - go in favor of abusive parents. Mike Volpe’s work on ‘The Imagination’ and in his own time over the past decade has showcased time and time again how the court treats children as human commodities and how the court system as a whole functions as a child trafficking racket and criminal enterprises.

Although there are many answers to ‘how’ children are often trafficked through Family Court and CPS, there is no reason more widely used across the board than a judge ruling ‘parental alienation’ as a means to an end for parental custody. And if you watched the episode I did with Mike on Parental Alienation, you understand how this is essentially a blanket term that has no true quantifiable definition. The scary part about Parental Alienation is how liberally it’s thrown around without any consistency and how everything and the kitchen sink can be labeled as ‘parental alienation’ when it comes to parenting - even a sarcastic comment to an ex as you’ll see in Jim’s case.

The court rulings to strip Jim of access to his children has all but torn apart his life. The last two years he has suffered immeasurably emotionally, financially and physically - including having a stroke as well as having to dish out over $200,000 in legal fees. James was and is a loving and caring father. Every parent that has found the courage to speak out about their custody battles in court is a hero and Jim is no exception. He may be a retired Marine, but he’s a warrior through and through. We are going to be talking about his case today to both educate and ask you for your support. I ask that you please put away everything you are doing and give Jim your full attention.
