Welcome to The Stand With Meg Show — where we defend parents’ rights, protect children, and give a voice to the voiceless. Today, we're pulling back the curtain on a jaw-dropping federal lawsuit that’s shaking the pillars of local government. In Jackson v. Ziccarelli et al., one pro se father, a disabled combat veteran, takes on the entire Westmoreland County legal apparatus. Judges, DAs, police, lawyers, and agencies are all named in a civil RICO complaint alleging conspiracy, fraud, malicious prosecution, and the unlawful seizure of his children. We break down the 50+ page filing and federal docket to unpack the chilling claim at its core: that the family court system itself has been weaponized against the very people it’s sworn to protect. Is this just a custody dispute gone wrong or is it proof that justice has a price tag, and some are paying with their children? This is a masterclass in lawfare, courage, and the cost of speaking truth to power. Grab your notebook. This isn’t just a podcast. It’s a blueprint for every parent fighting back.

Welcome to The Stand With Meg Show — Defending Parents’ Rights. Protecting Children. Giving a Voice to the Voiceless. Today’s episode is a masterclass in grit, grief, and the guts it takes to face down the family court system. We unpack two seismic legal battles: the decades-long civil rights case of Deanna Fogerty and her daughter Presley Hardwick in California, and the ongoing digital-fueled federal litigation of Meg’s story rooted in Missouri and Kansas. One is a war waged over twenty years for accountability. The other is a real-time campaign for visibility and systemic reform. What connects them? A mother’s unyielding love. What divides them? The legal playbook — and whether our courts still answer to the Constitution. From hidden GPS trackers to 30-page judicial findings, from state courts to federal dockets, we follow the legal strategies, the outcomes, and the immunity shields that make justice so elusive for families like yours. Because this isn’t just history — it’s a roadmap for parents who are still in the fire. And we’re here to say: you’re not crazy, you’re not alone, and you can fight back.

On this episode of The Stand With Meg Show, I pull back the curtain on the federal case Meghann R. Miller v. Kansas DCF — and the procedural battle threatening to silence a mother’s fight for justice. You’ll hear two powerful segments: The Deep Dive — A clear, factual unpacking of the arguments I filed in federal court, including allegations of due process violations, retaliation for protected speech, and bureaucratic failures that prolonged my forced separation from my children.The Debate — A sharp legal clash over whether my 3-day late filing — caused by trauma and health issues directly tied to the very case I’m fighting — should be forgiven under the doctrine of excusable neglect.This isn’t just about a missed deadline. It’s about whether the court will weigh strict rules over human rights, or finally hear the truth on its merits. 🎧 Listen now to understand why this case could set a precedent for every parent fighting for their children — especially those forced to do it alone. I’m breaking down what happened when I missed a federal court deadline by 3 days — and why the stakes are so much bigger than just a date on a calendar. 💥 Hear how I turned trauma into evidence.  💥 Understand the legal battle I’m facing — solo.  💥 And ask yourself: If a state lawyer gets 2 weeks’ grace, why can’t a mother get 3 days? 📲 Listen now on The Stand With Meg Show — because justice shouldn't be denied over a technicality. www.StandwithMeg.com Support the show Thank you for listening to The Stand With Meg Show — Defending Parents’ Rights.

What happens when the system takes everything — your business, your voice, your rights — and refuses to give you due process? You fight back. On this episode of The Stand With Meg Show, I sit down with Dr. Teri Ann, a mother, mental health advocate, and now grassroots gubernatorial hopeful from Arizona. After building a behavioral health practice serving thousands, her business was demolished by a broken court system and corrupt agencies that refused to follow the law. She didn’t back down. She filed lawsuits. She filed to run for office. And now she’s fighting for every family who’s been silenced by power and forgotten by government. This is about more than family court. It’s about every court. It’s about all of us. 🔗 Learn more and sign the petition if you’re in Arizona: www.usaadvocate4all.org Support the show Thank you for listening to The Stand With Meg Show — Defending Parents’ Rights.

Welcome to The Stand With Meg Show — Defending Parents’ Rights. Protecting Children. Giving a Voice to the Voiceless.   Today’s episode exposes what too many families know too well: that no family is safe from a system built on hearsay and broken incentives.  Our guest, Alma B, is a mother, survivor, and relentless advocate. After Florida’s DCF took her daughters without cause, she endured two years of trauma, silence, and supervised visits — while her young daughters suffered isolation, self-harm, and unspeakable abuse.   Now, Alma is reclaiming her voice and fighting for others through her work on the Family Justice and Accountability Act of 2025.

Welcome to The Stand With Meg Show — Defending Parents’ Rights. Protecting Children. Giving a Voice to the Voiceless. In today’s powerful episode, Meg is joined by Ben, founder of Menbuse and creator of the AI-powered custody tool "DocketMind." Together, they expose the silent epidemic of father erasure in family court and the cultural biases that pit mothers and fathers against each other — all while the court cashes in on broken homes. Ben opens up about the emotional and financial cost of fighting for 50/50 custody, how it reshaped his view of fatherhood, and why he believes the real audience is the kids. But this isn’t just about what Ben survived — it’s about what he’s building. He now coaches moms and dads behind the scenes, helping families stay out of court and resolve custody with wisdom, peace, and strength. This conversation is different. It’s not about blame — it’s about heart. Meg shares what she sees in Ben’s character and why his mission matters, and Ben reflects on Meg’s courage and how her voice has ignited hope in thousands. It’s a meeting of advocates, a meeting of warriors, and a meeting of hearts. This is not about taking sides. This is about truth. And about fighting for a system that honors both parents — and protects the child. — 🔗 Connect with Ben & Menbuse: 🌐 Website: https://menbuse.org 🎯 Donate: https://givebutter.com/MenbuseDonation 📱 Socials: @MenbuseUsORG — Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Threads 🌐 Website: StandWithMeg.com  📱 Socials: @StandWithMeg  — Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, Threads  🎙️ Podcast: The Stand With Meg Show — available on Spotify, Apple, and YouTube ✉️ Contact: [email protected] Support the show Thank you for listening to The Stand With Meg Show — Defending Parents’ Rights.

Welcome to The Stand With Meg Show — Defending Parents’ Rights. Protecting Children. Giving a Voice to the Voiceless. In today’s explosive episode, we deep dive into the most radical family court reform proposal ever written: the Family Justice & Accountability Act, authored by Francesca Amato. What would it mean if judges, CPS workers, and court appointees lost their legal immunity for knowingly violating constitutional rights? What if wrongful child removals could lead to life in prison? We break down the FJAA's unprecedented provisions — from mandatory minimums for judicial misconduct to abolishing “Parental Alienation Syndrome” in court. You’ll learn why this act could trigger a legal revolution and why some call it a constitutional reckoning decades overdue. The FJAA is more than a proposal — it’s a movement. Support the push to pass this bill in October 2025. Authored by Francesca Amato – Learn more at: www.Punished4BeingAParent.com 👉 Support our trip. Every $10 matters.

What happens when a survivor refuses to stay silent—and runs for office?  FROM SURVIVOR TO STATE REP: Melissa’s Fight Against Systemic Child Trafficking On this episode of The Stand With Meg Show, we rip the mask off a system that hides behind “protection” while families are torn apart. Melissa Steele—mother, survivor, and candidate for Illinois House, District 109 (2026)—shares how a lifetime of institutional failures pushed her from pain to purpose. From DCFS at the hospital within hours of birth, to years of alienation, turnover, and gag-order culture, Melissa names what so many of us have lived: systemic trafficking under color of law. This isn’t politics-as-parade. Melissa’s campaign is boots-on-the-ground: recovery work, community care, and real oversight. She’s partnering with Tiger Lily Resources to combat human trafficking and organizing through We the People for Melissa Steele—because true change takes courage and policy. We talk: Surviving childhood exploitation (without naming details while an investigation is active) and reclaiming the narrativeDCFS/family court churn: 3 judges, 7 caseworkers, 5 supervisors—35 strangers making life-altering decisionsParental alienation, supervised visits, and kids being placed in unsafe conditions (yes, even a closet)“Color of law,” gag orders, and why accountability—not silence—is the cureWhy Melissa’s running: term limits, community oversight boards in every county, and policy that protects bonds—not breaks themIf you’re a parent who’s been called crazy, unfit, or “too loud”—you’re not.

I sit down with Richard, a legal mind and fellow advocate, to talk about the brutal realities of family court, CPS, and the massive financial and emotional toll they take on families fighting to protect their children.  not just talking theory—we’re talking lived experience, federal RICO cases, and the legal walls that keep families trapped while those in power profit. Richard breaks down the Younger Abstention Doctrine and Rockefeller Doctrine, exposing why federal courts often refuse to step in—and what that means for your rights as a parent. This is a wake-up call: even if you think you’re safe, you’re not. The system can target any parent at any moment. 🔥 “It’s not free. It’s not right. It’s not justice.
