We Must Recognize that Many Family Court Judges are Serial Killers

Psychic Genocide in the Family Courts (Made Possible through Impunity)

We must not limit our belief only to what is believable, but be open to what reality reveals. As harsh as it may sound, many Family Court judges seem to believe they are God, so unfit are they for the power the public has bestowed on them. The tragic result, from my direct observation of over fifty cases across the country as an expert witness, is that no Law or principle of human decency binds them. I have come to observe in detail how judges use their authority to “fix” their cases so that they look perfect from without, as loving mothers (and less commonly loving fathers) and innocent children die from within. Sometimes the death is not physical, but studies show that “soul murder” can be even worse — for it is a lifetime of torture for each child, in addition to slow physical death, decades before their time. Even worse is the psychic pain the loving parent must endure, for what loving parent would not give her life for her child? It is a natural, inborn response. This is precisely what psychopathic abusers and, worse, psychopathic judges relish targeting for destruction (the Family Court “slave trade” may begin with the 50 to 175 billion per year in revenue, but I have witnessed many simply relishing it for their sadism — or their sense of unlimited power over those at their “mercy”).

Much has happened recently: My interview with “Slam the Gavel” host Maryann Petri was broadcast, which immediately led to another one, in consultation with a litigant from South Carolina who generously wished to use her case to educate the public.

Prominent Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking victim Virginia Giuffre has died, essentially having been tortured to death by Family Court. I link here my article about singer and songwriter Sinéad O’Connor, another unnecessary, high-profile Family Court-caused death. And then there is the death of Attorney Catherine Kassenoff, which revealed that not even the New York State governor’s powerful prosecutor could escape the Family Court killing machine. These cases are portrayed as involving particularly vicious or clever abusers, but what is omitted is the artificial role of Family Courts amplifying exsting violence or creating violence anew — which dwarfs any violence an individual can perpetrate. These “Anti-Courts” especially target and destroy talented, capable, and courageous women, in part I believe because of jealousy: the judges and the entourage they select are, as a rule, of shockingly poor quality. This is why I say that Family Courts are committing a “psychic genocide”: “genocide” refers to “killing of a kind,” and the kind they are systematically killing are those who are especially highly psychologically developed — and therefore healthy, successful, compassionate, and loving.

There is also a recent glimmer of hope: the Arizona Joint Legislative Ad Hoc Committee launched: “what may become one of the nation’s most significant state-level inquiries into family court failures.” Many of the testimonies echo my words:

This paradigm pits an abusive parent against a protective parent. The psychologist shifts the no-contact order onto the protective parent, forcing the child to live with the abuser. Of course, the protective parent will pay whatever it takes to save their child.

This isn’t justice. This is extortion. This is no different than child trafficking. People are making extreme amounts of money off of this — and the only difference is we have it under the guise of being legal.

Family Courts would not be so aggressive in trying to silence me if they were not terrified of exposure. They could always avail themselves of a defamation lawsuit — but they do not dare, for this would involve discovery. Instead, they twist and turn to concoct falso criteria for “protective orders,” so as to keep the matter within Family Court. I added the judge targeting my own sister, Jane Gallina-Mecca, onto my federal lawsuit against her underlings, Evelyn Nissirios and Michael Antoniewicz, for issuing yet another illegal “protective order.”

In the meantime, there have been many casualties and many actual deaths associated with Gallina-Mecca, and her behavior in my sister’s own case makes it easy to demonstrate how it happens. Recently, I wrote to Assignment Judge Carol V. Novey Catuogno asking for an investigation and an intervention against Gallina-Mecca, who is under her. Here is her response:

I am in receipt of your letter dated April 10, 2025, in which you seek certain relief on behalf of your sister, Patricia Lee. While I understand an impulse to intervene on behalf of one’s family member, in this instance such intervention is inappropriate … as you are not a party to this matter, you have no standing to petition for relief.

As I returned two weeks later, noting an upcoming date when Gallina-Mecca was expected to authorize a police raid to help cause my sister’s “medical” death, she repeated:

As I explained in my letter of April 10, 2025, you lack standing to seek relief on behalf of your sister, and most importantly, your sister is represented by counsel in the matters pending before the court.

I hence responded to her clerk:

Dear Ms. Morley:

My communication to Her Honor regarded issues that cannot be handled by the “appropriate” avenues, because they concern abuse of process and weaponization of the law. Certainly, counsel cannot handle a homicidal judge who is already halfway through with her victim. My issue, again, is that being a judge is not a license to pillage, steal, and murder.

On the books, these things are not supposed to be covered under judicial immunity, but in practice no one will hold a judge accountable — not even the hon. assignment judge. This is why dead bodies keep mounting around this “judge”, and if an assignment judge does not care to investigate it while it is taking place, who would be?

She is incorrect that I do not have standing. I am adding Ms. Gallina-Mecca to my lawsuit. And every month that I am unable to lead my life, because I must care for my previously extremely high-functioning sister, who is now totally incapacitated because a gratuitously sadistic “judge” unmoored from reality loves to partner with violent criminals, then it does indeed become my business.

Bergen County Court would not so be a source of incompetence and harm, had response been “appropriate”. Therefore, I am not surprised at Her Honor’s lack of response, but disappointed. Please be advised of my carbon copy of the press.

Sincerely,

Bandy X. Lee, M.D., M.Div.

In the meantime, below is my letter to the prosecutors who have removed criminal charges against a pediatrician who colluded with Gallina-Mecca to cover up child abuse (she is the third person whose criminal charges Gallina-Mecca removed without a trial!):

Dear Prosecutors DeMarco and Malfitano:

My sister and victim, Patricia Lee (protected class), has decided she would like to resubmit her charges against Dr. Karen Wu, the pediatrician who co-conspired with the kidnapper of her children and attempted murderer. There is new medical evidence, as well as the fact that she was present at the probable cause hearing, waiting to testify, and that the judge did not call on her is not her fault (See Exhibit 1 for her Declaration). As can be noted, the charges levied in her affidavit are serious, and they have not exceeded any statute of limitation.

Whereas I am Patricia Lee’s attorney-in-fact (See Exhibit 2), she was not always disabled. The kidnapping of her children by their violent abuser and her ex-husband, who almost killed each of them and was on a temporary restraining order (TRO) for slamming her 7-year-old son’s head into a window, caused life-threatening, stress-induced high blood pressures that have now hospitalized her eight times, including once in the intensive care unit. Five specialists confirmed that her lethal-level blood pressures and constant risk of death by stroke or heart attack have no physical cause. They are purely a result of the stress of her children being kidnapped by their violent abuser, who is once again on a TRO but continues to imprison her children (See Exhibit 3). There are physical effects: since December 2024, Patricia Lee has been totally physically incapacitated and requires 24-hour care. Brain scans are now showing multiple mini-strokes from all the episodes of high blood pressure and near-death.

There is clear motive: Dr. Wu’s co-conspiracy has helped her violent ex-husband to kidnap and keep two children for the extortion of millions of dollars in “child support,” legal fees, and the entire equity of the house. If not for Dr. Wu, he would have been prosecuted far before he was able to use legal abuse — a crime of coercive control — simply based on his possession of the children. I can also attest, as a medical professional trained in the best programs in the country, Dr. Wu has committed the most egregious instance of medical crime I have witnessed in my 25 years as a forensic expert for the courts (See Exhibit 4 for sample expert reports, of which there are a total of a dozen).

Finally, I am aware that cases are often “punted” back to Family Court, a closed court with one judge and no jury, but this can be a dangerous practice. Heinous human rights abuses are now found to occur regularly against women and children, as the United Nations Human Rights Council documented in 2023 (A/HRC/53/36), and therefore this should not be the standard for dismissing a case (also, the divorce case has concluded). Regardless, Judge Jane Gallina-Mecca, the presiding judge, is not only being federally sued but being referred for impeachment by more than 2000 petitioners, more than 30 witnesses, and the nation’s foremost constitutional lawyer writing the articles of her impeachment.

Sincerely yours,

Bandy Lee, M.D., M.Div.

Gallina-Mecca is a veritable serial killer who acts as a tyrant in the courtroom, treats children like chattel, colludes with violent criminals, and “fixes” her predetermined outcomes through extreme maneuverings in and out of her courtroom. In my sister’s case alone, she has stonewalled experts, manipulated outside providers, shut down Child Protective Services investigations, and financially depleted and tried psychologically to “break” the innocent parent, so that she cannot fight back. When this did not work, she co-conspired with her ex-husband to murder her. Part of this was to send her children to fates worse than death, although she very blatantly savors the power that their torture signifies for her, in its own right. I have outlined her obvious unfitness elsewhere, but this extraordinary specimen of a human is actually common — if not typical — in Family Court!

As will have been revealed in my podcasts, we cannot understand the behavior of Family Court players using ordinary human psychology. We must apply criminal psychology if we are to protect ourselves against serial murder, serial child sex trafficking, and the lucrative industry of child pornography — all staples of the so-called “Family Court.”

*There is now a tremendous push to impeach Judge Jane Gallina-Mecca, and the proceedings are bound to become national! Please sign if you have not done so, contribute your affidavits if you have yet to do so, and help us to turn this into a movement that we will no longer accept genocide in the Family Courts!
