How Does Leaving A Man Turn Into Gang Stalking? Part One
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we sit down with “Monroe Mom,” who shares her personal story of leaving a military relationship—and the devastating consequences that followed.
She opens up about what she experienced in Monroe County, Florida, including patterns she describes as coordinated harassment and intimidation, often referred to as “gang stalking.”
We explore her claims about connections between local officials, court systems, and individuals involved in her case—and how those relationships may have influenced the outcome.
Whether you agree or not, this is a powerful firsthand account that raises serious questions about accountability, transparency, and what can happen when someone feels the system is working against them.
Welcome to the dark side of family court. This is DK, your host, and also the creator of the editable app dot com. That way you can rate your own motion on your own phone. All right. Today we have Anonymous with us, and she's going to share her story. So go ahead, let's hear what happened in your family court case.
SPEAKER_01Thank you so much for having me. Um, my name is Anonymous, and my case did not begin in court. It actually began in early 2022 when I met a man who was a Marine. Over the course of more than a year, I experienced ongoing harm and instability connected to that relationship. During that time, there were various incidents that led to the involvement of law enforcement, at which point I had contacted them for assistance in preventing further harm from occurring with me and my children. However, what followed were charges brought against me after he, after the Marine made a threat against me. I maintained that those were fabricated or misrepresented charges. And those charges created a record and a narrative that did not reflect what actually happened. The narrative stayed attached to me whenever he was actually the perpetrator. In June 2023, that criminal matter was dropped with a null prosecchi with the statement from the prosecutor stating that it would not survive a motion to suppress, which would only be relevant to assume that those charges were obtained through misconduct of law enforcement. That indicates issues in how the case was built in the first place. Despite that, the same narrative continued to follow me into the family court system.
SPEAKER_00Did you know if he had any friends that were in law enforcement?
SPEAKER_01There were several occurrences that we had conversations where he one at one point threatened me that he would have my house raided right before that um unlawful stop occurred, which brought those criminal charges, um, which was later dropped because they didn't have probable cause or uh whatever to search my car where they found planted evidence. But he did have uh he had made rather statements to me that uh involved him having favorite treatment or leniency in previous uh uh criminal matters against him because of his military affiliation. And when I did some digging, I found out that he was actually what do you call it? It was called a he was actually discharged from the military for acts of pre-militia, which is essentially what he did to us. And that would have involved other parties such as conspirers or co-conspirators.
SPEAKER_00Now, you're not allowed to take that information into court, because that would be kind of interesting for I would think a judge should know.
SPEAKER_01Well, yeah, but the problem is is getting into the courtroom with a judge who's actually not part of the whole corrupt government side of things. Right. So I've already filed a federal case and I'm waiting on that, you know, to move forward at this point. And we'll see. We'll see what happens since you know Trump's been in office and all of this is kind of turning things around uh with the State of the Union and whatnot. Um I'm I have high hopes that things will move forward in my favor pretty soon, pretty quickly.
SPEAKER_00Every day it seems like we're getting closer and closer.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. So despite that uh same narrative that you know continued to follow me into my family court case on October 18th, 2023, my children were removed. Um, and then the next day there was a shelter hearing held. However, I was not served at all any kind of notice about that hearing. And I actually have video footage of the Department of Children and Families uh that same day on the 18th when they took the children. I have video footage stating that I asked, I said, so what am I supposed to know do now? You know, why did why are you doing this? Why aren't you talking to me about it? You know, what's the reason that you took my children for? And the lady from DCF actually stated specifically, you will know, but not today. Um, and in law, that is considered a um or post hoc rather, a post hoc, basically meaning that they hadn't yet determined what the reason was, but they acted before they actually had a lawful basis for taking my children. And what I realized from that whole situation was that I didn't respond the way that they expected me to respond, the way that most mothers would, and that they would freak out and you know, go off the chain and uh cause themselves to be um arrested. And so, whenever the police officers, four of men showed up that day to provoke me and I kept my cool, um, they had no probable cause to arrest me. And therefore the case did not unfold the way that it was intended to unfold. And so the conversation that I had on video with DCF was that day, and it was after the officers has had already left, deciding that there was no reason for them to arrest me. And so I ask, you know, why did you take my children? Why isn't why aren't you explaining this to me? What's going on? And she said, you will know, but not today. And so I still have that video footage, and that has become part of my um federal case.
SPEAKER_00Now, one of the things that's interesting is we've been like a moms have been waiting for these kids to show up. And these kids are showing up amazingly. They're just it's amazing how they're showing up after they've been in this, you know, uh system. And I have worked in that system um with children who are taken from CPS and in that whole system. So it's been crazy. I it's crazy to work in it. So where is your case at right now?
SPEAKER_01My case is closed out with your kids and my my son was adopted, um and his name was changed. But I I do know that once that whole situation is rectified and remedied, then all of that will, you know, be overturned, basically, because uh what I determined was that they didn't even have jurisdiction over my case, which is the only reason that I've found so far to be able to uh overcome the uh the uh what is it called? It's called uh immunity, it's um judicial immunity. So absolute immunity is what it is. So the only way that you can overcome absolute immunity against a judge um is by showing that they had no jurisdiction to act. I I've determined that through my studies, and and it's all wrapped up in the case that I filed.
SPEAKER_00Okay, so you've already filed?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, it's already filed. I'm just waiting for a little bit of movement.
SPEAKER_00Right, so I have some of that case law on my editable um website um that talks about the immunity, and I think I've got case law about it as well. So if other parents are interested in something like that, they can get it off from there. And if you happen to win, I would love it if you could share your case. Another thing I do for people is if you want me to just hold your case, you can send it to me. I'll put it in a like a file on a thumb drive and I will hold it. So um, a lot of people will get gag orders. So if you send it to me and I can hold it, then I have it. If you get a gag order and I already have it, I mean, I don't think there's much they can do if I decide to share it or if you tell me to share it. Um, but that's one of the things that I offer to people is like, I'll put it on a thumb drive and just save your stuff and just let it sit there until you tell me what to do with it.
SPEAKER_01So I've I've been working on it for you know the better part of six months now, and I've got the exhibits and all of the evidence. Um, the problem that I'm having right now is being safe to go somewhere to upload them so that I can get it all together in one file, um, as far as the evidence is concerned. And so once I do that, then I don't I don't mind sharing it with you. Um, as far as the case, there are you know things that I wouldn't want to jeopardize my case by sharing too much of it publicly right now. Um but yeah, whenever it's all said and done, there's there's not going to be anything that they can say to me or offer me or any kind of you know, you know, non-disclosure agreement. It's going fully public, like everyone and everything. And if you know, if you've looked at any of my social media, then you probably have already recognized that I've put pictures, names, crimes, um, and the only thing I'm not sharing publicly is the actual evidence because then that's just gonna give them ammo to cover up to show what I have as insignificant.
SPEAKER_00So um Right. So I don't know if you've seen, and you've mentioned this too. So a lot of times people don't even know where you're supposed to go because what'll happen is if they think they're gonna lose, they will have you sign a non-disclosure form saying that you won't talk about the case and how much money you got before they'll let you have the before they'll even give you the money and whatever. So that's why people don't know where it is they're supposed to go because nobody can talk about the case that they want or how they won or anything like that. So that's why I'm telling people if you want to send it to me and I have it, if you get a gig or whatever on you and you ask me, Hey, can you send this out? I mean, I got it, you know. So I can just say, you know, I was given permission, I can do this. I got it, I got the whole thing. Um, so, anyways, I just give that to an option people if they want to, and I personally don't have the time to read all this stuff. Um, but if you have like a case that wins, um, and you're able to share that, we would love that because we need more cases out there of people who have won and being able to share um their cases.
SPEAKER_01So yeah, and my goal is to help people to, you know, to figure out their own cases. And while I couldn't stop what was happening in the case with my children at the time, um, after the fact, the aftermath is, you know, the documents are very clear. I was very clear. I notified them, I sent them evidence to refute the whatever the allegations would have been. I sent them information that was that I was threatened. I told them that I was never served with the documents. None of my requests, uh, my motions were none of them were ever ruled on. Um I've even asked for evidence preservation, uh, compelling them to release the evidence and notifying them that this was, you know, fraud upon the court, asking them to vacate the order, all of this stuff. None of it has ever been ruled on. Um, there was no possible outcome for me to even appeal the case because of those actions that they never ruled on my motion. So there was nothing to appeal. And there was just a huge overarching theme leading up to my children's case and following my children's case, that they were trying to push the narrative of mental instability. But what they failed to um disclose or recognize or, you know, even give attention to was the fact that anyone who had mental health instability would not have been able to, you know, come up with or to produce documents that were as on point as my motions were. And so while I was going through hell, you could say, uh, spiritually, emotionally, and physically without my children, I was still able to produce, you know, profession, I uh to the point to where I had family members and even other attorneys were saying, Well, who's your attorney? And I said, Well, I don't have one. I'm representing myself. And they would say, Well, who's preparing your documents? Who's drafting these documents? I said, I am. And I had an attorney tell me, Wow, that's impressive. Like after everything you've been through, you're able to muster up this kind of drafted document. And so the motions in my case speak for themselves, that there was no mental instability, that they were trying to silence me. And that was one of the tactics that they were trying to use, along with malicious prosecution, also, because there was two false criminal cases brought against me, both of which I was able to get them the charges dropped. And so there was never any kind of conviction or even moving forward with the case, because they never had the evidence to support an arrest, let alone a conviction. And so those amount to malicious prosecution because of the fact that there was no probable cause and it ended in my favor.
SPEAKER_00Now, do you think he has something to do with all this? Like it was all created from him and who he knows. Absolutely.
SPEAKER_01Absolutely. Yes.
SPEAKER_00Now, are your children also well behaved? Yes.
SPEAKER_01Yes.
SPEAKER_00Because they tend to take those, they tend to take those children that are um well behaved because they're easier to adopt out as well.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah. They're easier to torture too.
SPEAKER_00Right, right. You know, the just being in those systems and the way they work and the things that happen is just it's absolutely amazing. And even the systems are uh accounted for. And you know, it was interesting because I had a client and I was reporting to her casework or what was going on with the staff and the other children in the home. And then later I ended up after I was off the case and I got some training by CPS. One of the things I learned is that if the courts have custody of the child or or whatever, that if if something happens, you have to go to the state police. You do not go to the case worker, you have to file report the state police. By then it was too late. Um, but if I would have known that, I would have been reporting to the CPS worker, I would have been reporting to them.
SPEAKER_01No, they don't do anything about it, anyways. They're all fake avenues for relief. There is no relief. And every time you go to the next level, you get more retaliation.
SPEAKER_00Right, right. Now, do you also have a dead switch in place?
SPEAKER_01Um, yeah, I've got, yeah, my my documents are in various places with you know multiple people that has access to them.
SPEAKER_00No, it's called it's well, it's called the dead man switch. And so what happens is usually you do like a video. I had a video and a press release with mine, is what I did. And I had it on a thumb drive, and I personally went and gave this thumb drive to several people. And then as my case got more dangerous, the more things I put in place, and then I did an autoresponder. So if I didn't get to the autoresponder and stop it, it would go out to people. Um, and it had a video and then it had like a press release on it as well. And I think I mean I had a list of press release people that it would be going out to and other people. Um, so that's something to think about. You know, just put people's names and emails on there, throw mine on there as well. And if something happens and that goes out and something happens to you, everybody will know. I mean, they like to hide the stuff and make it look like you tried to commit suicide, is what they try to do. But this has happened so many times, people know that it's not suicide.
SPEAKER_01So, um, like I was saying, I was not properly served notice before that uh hearing was held, and uh the normal procedures outlined in the DCF materials were not followed. Uh, there was no meaningful effort made to maintain my family unit. Uh, and no opportunity was even attempted to keep my children with me under less restrictive measures. Decisions about my children were made without me having a real opportunity to respond. From my perspective, my children were taken without cause or due process, using false or outdated uh malicious narratives. Uh, by the time I entered the courtroom, the narrative had already been established. After that hearing, I filed motions stating clearly that I had not been served and that my rights were violated. Those motions were never ruled on, like I mentioned, not denied, not addressed at all, like just nothing. The case continued forward as if those issues did not exist. And at the time, at the same time, records appeared in the case that raised serious concerns. Information such as school and system records appeared to have been accessed and used before any court order existed to authorize them or act or authorize access to them. And that information was then used to support the same narrative. The timing did not align with what due process requires. In court, information was presented in ways that did not reflect the actual what actually happened. So it, you know, they they twitched things around, they used outdated uh closed cases like that old case that was already null prosecchi in June. They used that as if it was an ongoing imminent danger issue, but it was already settled that um they had dropped the case against me due to law enforcement misconduct and obtaining the evidence. Uh, and but once something is entered into the record, it becomes the version that is relied on moving forward, even when it's inaccurate. So there was no meaningful opportunity to correct that despite multiple emails and notifications that I sent to all of the entities, agencies, individuals, attorneys, and even the judge. Um, the combination of no notice, no rulings on motions, failure to follow standard procedures, and questionable use of information created a situation where the case moved forward quickly on an uncorrected foundation. The impact of that is immediate when children are involved. You can, you know, relate to that. And this was a this was not a mistake. This was a concerted effort to obtain control over me and to gain federal funding, which incentivizes children's removal from their parents. Um, you're not just dealing with legal issues at that point, you're dealing with the loss of your children while those issues go unaddressed. And the courtroom experience itself adds another layer. Um, decisions are made quickly. I was pro se. They gave me no opportunity to um, you know, argue my case or be heard. They locked me out of courtroom hearings, especially the pertinent ones. Uh, despite my repeated attempts to show the truth about the falsifications, the proceedings pushed forward in an expedited fashion with zero regard for the needs or well-being of my children, and certainly not the way the process was intended. Um, you're expected to respond in real time to situations you were not properly prepared for or even notified of, and the allegations were never even clear. I was told you will know, but not today. And this isn't the time to discuss that, even in open court. I I was trying to so did they ever tell you what they used? They they never actually told me that what the allegations were. Um, they tried to make it around drug abuse, but I had no history of drug use, and they had two clean urine samples from me. Um, and then they tried to make it about um me being evicted from my home, but they coerced me into going to their office under the false pretense that they were going to get me some hotel money, where they tried to push me into a drug rehab for 90 days. Um And I said, why would I do that? I told you we're leaving tomorrow. You said you were going to give us hotel money. And not to mention the fact that we were evicted from two places on the same day. So we were moving out of one place and into another and had actually access to both of them for an entire week at the same time. And that whole situation was part of the organized crime group that this Marine was part of. I call him a mission critical member of an organized crime group. And essentially they fall, they wrongfully evicted us from one place where due process was not involved, and they ignored motions that I filed on that as well. And they denied access to us on the new apartment so that it would look as though I was destabilized. So they set up the entire orchestrated event. Like it was all orchestrated. Wow.
SPEAKER_00That is just amazing.
SPEAKER_01And it's all documented. And the the strange thing is that there's a powerful family down there. And um okay, so they controlled the property management office of the wrongful eviction place. They owned the property that I was denied access, the second property, and the judge who wrongfully evicted me was part of that family. So you tell me. Oh wow. I mean, they're they're they're all over the place. Not not to mention those three things, but also the fact that they are the head of the organization that handles the um the case management for the children after they're followed, uh, after they're removed from the home by DCF, there's a case management company that steps in. And that same family, a powerful family, runs and operates that entity as well, among others, like the like the ones that they were trying to send me to in order to put me in that drug rehab program for 90 days that they had no reason to push me into. Um, that family also owned and operated that business as well.
SPEAKER_00You've definitely done your research.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, and and this is all public record. So this is all just because whenever I try to request any information about that family, I'm immediately met with, you know, shutting it down and more retaliation. Like I notice an uptick in in the retaliation around where I'm at um on several occasions, whenever I'm simply trying to obtain public records, because um they know what I'm doing and they know that what I'm gonna do with the information whenever I receive it. So um it's essentially it's called a uh an a closed ecosystem where they pretty much control everything and everyone within their whole realm of business. So anything from the prosecutor's office to the sheriff's department to the real estate to the uh government funded entities, all the way into the uh Department of Children and Families and the Catholic Charities, which is like a charitable organization. They they they deal with this company is, I'm sorry, this family is also involved with companies like the only water and the only electric company that's down there, which was another thing that they used to make me appear uh unstable for the children. Um, but even if we were homeless, even if we were uh in hard times, and even if we were rightfully evicted from our property, there's absolutely no excuse for those people to have taken my children instead of keeping us together because there's funding out there and there's you know processes that we would have, you know, that I did apply for some of the assistance that we should have qualified for, that would have, you know, aided us in some kind of shelter, even if it's just temporary, um, some kind of move-in process. But yeah, it that there's no excuse for what they did because they they had no reason to do what they did. It was an organized um group of people committing acts of conspiracy to deprive us of our rights and our liberties.
SPEAKER_00Now, if you could go in front of these people, if they were, I don't know, like in, you know, gonna go to jail or whatever and you're in a court, what would you want to say to these people?
SPEAKER_01They should have taken my warning. They should have listened to the kindness and the love and the truth that was being spoken in front of them on the multiple occasions that I told them that whatever they thought that I was going to do was wrong. And that I would make sure that this would be heard and that they would be stopped. And I gave them ample opportunity to recognize that what they were doing was wrong and take corrective actions. I pled with them like you know, like any mother would, trying to protect my children and stop the heinous, you know, acts that they were taking against us. And at every turn of events, they pushed harder and you know, issued another statement or pushed for another compliance. Um, but you know, even the attorney that was appointed to me was involved in it because he I told him to file a contempt motion and he dropped my case, leaving me without an attorney at a critical stage. And if he had done what he was supposed to do, I would have had my children back within 10 days of their removal. But because he was involved in it, um, he took actions that I at the time was not aware of, was waiving my rights without my knowledge or consent, but he knew it.
SPEAKER_00Right. They do, they they don't work for you, they work for the court system, actually. Yeah, all right. Um, so we are out of time. Thank you so much for coming on. This is the dark side of family court, and uh we wish and hope you the very best, anonymous. And hopefully you can give us an update on your case and give us some good news.
SPEAKER_01Thank you so much for having me.
