The Heartbreaking Tragedy Of The Foster Care System With Leslie Carrington

Slam the Gavel

Show Notes

Slam the Gavel welcomes Leslie Carrington to the podcast. Leslie came onto the podcast to share her story, a story shaped by the often-overlooked trauma within the FOSTER CARE system. Foster care taught Leslie to ADAPT, but it also subjected her to an underlying current of TRAUMA that has left lasting imprints on her journey. Moving through different homes, each adjustment brought not just change but a layer of emotional TURMOIL that only those who've experienced it can truly comprehend. ACCOUNTABILITY wasn't just about actions; it also meant navigating the emotional fallout of an unstable upbringing. Beyond Leslie's personal journey, her passion is fueled by a profound empathy for the trauma suffered by children within this CORRUPT system. Leslie has witnessed the anguish of those who've endured SA, and it's disheartening that PROTECTIVE MEASURES aren't always in place. The pressing question remains—WHY do judges sometimes allow this to persist? In conclusion, Leslie's path through Foster Care has etched a deep belief in the power of change. It's a journey marked by trauma, but it has also propelled her to encourage others to share their stories. By advocating for accountability, addressing the systemic issues, and offering a space for healing, she aims to shed light on the profound importance of support for those who have faced the darkest aspects of adversity. Leslie encourages all to speak out of their own experiences in the Foster Care system in order to bring empowerment, and to aspire to create a brighter future for all our children.

Slam the Gavel welcomes filmmaker, Ginger Gentile to the podcast. Ginger is a filmmaker, speaker and coach. Ginger is passionate about using her skills to help people and make a difference in this world. Educating, raising awareness, Ginger has used story telling to inspire others. Committed to helping families heal through and after divorce and trauma, Ginger has appeared on Red Table Talk, Bravo, SXSW, NBC and other podcasts.

Her first film, "Erasing Dad," in 2014 was censored in Argentina, making front page news as well as forcing her to leave the country. Fathers suddenly came out of nowhere to talk about how they couldn't see their kids. At that time, in Argentina, mothers primarily had full custody. After her film came out, Argentina has since changed the law, allowing joint custody and no more gender bias in the law. Ginger came back to the U.S. and found that a lot of mothers couldn't see their kids and that's it's more about money. The kids themselves, as young as seven were on social media talking about how they couldn't see a parent or a sibling. This is when Ginger made the film, "Erasing Families." It is a powerful film that does show happy endings. Since "Erasing Family," came out in 2020 (can be found free on YouTube). Parents started contacting Ginger asking for help. Ginger began transitioning out of filming and has trained with Bill Eddy at the High Conflict Institute and is working with the worse cases of divorce and Parental Alienation. Ginger has dealt with and is helping parents who are suffering through high conflict divorce, trauma and Parental Alienation. Ginger explains her how her coaching is helping others and offers the advice that it's never too early to get help and changing the communication style with the co-parent is helpful. Ginger also offered how she has reunited parents with their children.

Brian was last on the podcast Season 4, Episodes 69, 99 and 119 and Season 5, Episodes 13, 37, 44 and 74. Brian is representing himself and is battling lawyers from 3 DIFFERENT STATES (New York, Chicago and Indiana) in the case. Recently, there was a hearing in the federal court and Brian tried to get the judge to take JUDICIAL NOTICE of a PERJURED AFFIDAVIT that the New York lawyer, Justin M. Ellis, signed under penalty of perjury. The judge, after rethinking things over DECIDED TO ADMIT THE DOCUMENT into the record, and that's when it hit the fan: when the New York Lawyer started to WHINE and BACKPEDAL, trying to cover the perjury. HOWEVER, magistrate judge, Joshua Kolar, has been accepted to be a federal court of appeals judge at the U.S. Court of Appeals in Chicago, the SAME COURT that Posner was at. Brian gave us updates on his case and now that the case is back in Judge Theresa L. Springmann's hands. Brian is hoping she will do the right thing and allow not only Discovery, but a FAIR TRIAL. We discussed the letter Attorney Justin M. Ellis has written to the judge to "help bring the case to a swift end......" God is watching.

Slam the Gavel podcast welcomes Danielle Sather Miller back to the Podcast, Season 5; Episode 69. So glad to have met her on TikTok. Danielle has been a victim of Parental Alienation and hasn't seen her boys in the last 8 years and that was when they were 4, 6 and 8. They are now at the ages of 13, 15 and 17 years of age and Danielle misses them and wonders if they think of her. What happened to Danielle can happen to ANYONE. Apparently some people were irritated that Danielle was on the last podcast. She spoke about how they told her she was an embarrassment and one of her children told her that he didn't want to see her again. Anything about Danielle enrages them. The infliction of psychological child abuse and coercive control on the children is so destructive to their mindset and will affect them for the rest of their lives, as well as they are being taught to fear and hate their own mother. Frederick Douglas stated, "It's easier to build strong children than to repair broken men." Anything about Danielle enrages them. Danielle talked about being in a group, South Carolina Corrupt Courts and how everyone supports each other. We discussed keeping busy and how to channel your energy into "court watching" and other positive hobbies such as "canning."
