Famed Psychiatrist Dr. Bandy X Lee: The Egregious Case of Christopher Ambrose: How CT Family Court Failed Karen Riordan and Her Children

As a leading authority in psychiatry and violence studies, Dr. Bandy X. Lee has observed many psychopathic individuals..

Dr. Bandy X. Lee, a distinguished American psychiatrist renowned for her expertise in forensic psychiatry and violence studies, delves into the life of Christopher Ambrose, a man she suggests exhibits psychopathic tendencies. Her report aims to uncover how Ambrose allegedly manipulates the Connecticut Family Court system to devastate the lives of his teenage children and their mother. Dr. Lee’s analysis also explores the unsettling enjoyment such individuals derive from these destructive actions.

An ‘Alternative Court’ of Unspeakable Criminality, Violence, and Abuse

Never in my 25 years of practice did I imagine there would be an “alternative court,” that deals in criminal child trafficking, where an alternative “law” reigns, and not even the rules of human decency apply.

Indeed, through family court, Christopher Ambrose, who would have been held accountable in any other setting, was able to devastate the life of a client I evaluated, Karen Riordan, and of her children and emerged as “the innocent one.”

The Loving and Empathic Mother

As a forensic psychiatrist and court expert witness, I usually do not write about clients. However, in this case, three reasons permit but also mandate me to speak up.

  1. The Court refused my testimony for no rational reason,
  2. The client gave me special permission
  3. Her children are actively in danger. 

As a fact finder on medical matters for the courts, I have special privy to what truly happened against the Family Court’s fabricated narratives.

The truth is that Karen Riordan is a psychologically well-developed, admirably accomplished, healthy, humane, and loving mother with absolutely no psychiatric concerns. She successfully and uneventfully adopted and raised her three children for the first thirteen years of their lives, surrounded by friends and extended family members in rustic Connecticut. She loves children, won awards as a special education teacher, and had a stable and secure career.

Karen Riordan won Distinguished Teacher of the Year in the Greenwich School District with more than 700 teachers.  

The absentee father seized the opportunity to marry her in the midst of suddenly losing her mother, in retrospect, as a predatory move to steal her inheritance and hide his homosexuality, among other things.

Karen Riordan and Chris Ambrose

Even though he abruptly stopped being intimate with her as soon as they married, Riordan tolerated his “quirks” — even though he immediately decided to leave for work in Hollywood and was hardly ever around.

Then, five years ago, Christopher Ambrose was fired for plagiarism and returned to Connecticut. He had been fired more than once and also lost his law license. As secretive and as controlling as he was, he was no longer able to keep up the facade after a couple days, and the nightmare began.

In a twisted game of manipulation, Ambrose disrupts the tranquility and joy of his teenage children. Does he take perverse pleasure in the turmoil he instigates?His abusive and exploitative personality emerged, and the children began screaming for help. Riordan initially tried to reconcile everyone, but his actions were outside the bounds of anything she had previously known or even imagined.

A Psychopathic ‘Father’

Being so caught off guard as the afflicted person wreaks havoc in your life is a common experience of those unfortunate enough to deal with a psychopathic personality.

Christopher Ambrose exhibited extremely characteristic patterns, and given that high levels of the disorder are strongly correlated with dangerousness, I interrupted my evaluation of Riordan to perform the Hare Psychopathy Checklist (PCL-R) on him.

As a physician, one of my responsibilities is to protect vulnerable lives, and the children’s lives appear to be in danger.

The highly-regarded and widely-used PCL-R requires doctorate-level education in psychology or psychiatry, forensic training and clinical experience with dangerous personalities, and additional instruction specific to administering the scale. Unlike most other diagnoses, the primary data source is not a personal interview but victim reports, collateral information, objective documentation, and actual behavior patterns. This is because psychopathic individuals’ pathological lying, conning, and superficial charm can “beguile” even the most seasoned clinicians into losing the accuracy of diagnosis during a personal interview.

For Ambrose, I had several victim reports, multiple collateral interviews, about four dozen objective documents, including audio recordings, video recordings, photographic evidence, and professional reports, and his copious writings, including veiled threats directly made to me.

AAlready, from what I had, he reached a full diagnosis of psychopathy — a score of 32/40 (at least 30/40 is required for “caseness”) — which should raise many alarms and possibly be a contraindication to parenting.

Psychopathy is a disorder of empathy and conscience, where an individual is incapable of loving emotions but is driven to harm living beings, including one’s own children. He already showed himself to be racist, taunting these children, the older two who are Guatemalan and the youngest half-Mexican, for their heritage. He also showed himself as a sadist, deliberately causing the family dog’s death and killing the children’s pet crabs.

In a chilling act, Ambrose orchestrated the demise of the children’s beloved dog, Cody. This cruel strategy not only deepened the children’s disdain for him, but also served his ulterior motive of demonstrating parental alienation.

I recommended the Court appoint its own expert with requisite training if it did not wish to heed my warnings, but of course, this never happened.

I also reported to Child Protective Services (CPS), advising that psychopaths are 2.5 times more likely to evade the criminal justice system in criminal courts than those without the diagnosis, despite their crimes being generally more serious and more likely to repeat.

My cautioning fell on deaf ears, confirming my fears (since my experience with Family Courts) that the errors of CPS are not just from incompetence but an intentional subversion of their role.

Christopher Ambrose

Innocent Child Victims

In Family Courts, the first casualty of the war they stoke among adults is children — for they are the voice of truth.

Christopher Ambrose first attempted to cover up his emotional, psychological, physical, and sexual abuse of the children by counter-accusing the mother of abuse. But, when that did not work, he turned to the “parental alienation” theory.

“Parential alienation” is a buzz phrase, or formula, used only in Family Court to turn the tables on abuse victims. No doubt, as a former lawyer, he recognized that this was the key to his ability to continue his abuse with impunity and even to turn it into a money-making enterprise by holding the children hostage — the children Karen Riordan adopted without his help — and demanding child support.

Chris Ambrose won full custody of three very frightened children who missed their mother.

In 2020, Family Court transferred Riordan’s three children, ages 9 to 13, to their father with a “no contact” order against the mother, and what was supposed to be a week’s separation until trial extended into a month, a year, and eventually three years — the typical abuse of process by which Family Courts engage in the predatory alienation of children.

Mia began cutting after she was taken from her mother,

The oldest and youngest immediately started cutting themselves, and the middle child became suicidal and missed almost half a year of school.

Mia was a gymnast in the happy days of her life when she lived with her mother.

The oldest went from being an international gymnast and athlete to becoming morbidly obese. They ceased all activities and were confined in their rooms, if not constantly harassed, without privacy, even in the bathroom.

The father took the doorknobs off the doors to ensure the children could not bar him from their bedrooms.

When the children tried to report their sexual abuse to medical providers, Ambrose took away their phones and Internet access and constantly threatened them.
In my investigation, I heard recordings of Ambrose threatening the daughter with vaginal penetration as punishment for minor misbehavior.

The 12-year-old’s sexual assault was documented in a recording of his screams.

Video Above: In this video captured by Mia, shows her reaction to the chilling screams of a child echoing in the background. Mia identifies the voice as her younger brother, Sawyer, then merely 11 years old, reacting to an undisclosed situation involving their father inside his room.

Audio Below: Listen closely to the ominous undertones in this audio clip. Here, we hear Ambrose threatening Mia, suggesting a harsh punishment for an unacceptable action. His parenting style leans towards aggression, possibly even crossing legal boundaries. The phrase ‘dig it in deep’ leaves us questioning its underlying meaning.

Adult men were invited to sleep in the 16-year-old daughter’s room, bringing drugs and engaging in intercourse with other underage girls.

All three children articulately and reliably reported this abuse to multiple adults, consistently including hospital personnel, school officials, and the police, but all eventually deferred to Family Court.

Several psychiatrists, child psychiatrists, and other medical professionals reported this case to numerous authorities, including the Department of Justice, but no one could touch Family Court “immunity”, buttressed by CPS and a corrupt guardian ad litem, Jocelyn Hurwitz, who is also cited in The Worst Interests of the Child: The Trafficking of Children and Parents through U.S. Family Courts.

 

Jocelyn Hurwitz, the GAL

These children thus had to endure a “living hell,” until the oldest could not take it anymore. She ran away to be with her mother. Still, Ambrose hunted her down over the Connecticut confidential address program Riordan enrolled in and stalked her with a car, almost getting her into a serious accident.

When the 16-year-old son and then the 13-year-old son joined her by running away, the police visited and assessed that the children were safe with their mother.

Sawyer escaped from his father, accused him of abuse, and sought refuge with his mother, enjoying a brief month of happiness. Yet, this joy was short-lived, as Ambrose persuaded Judge O’Neill to issue a restraining order against Sawyer’s mother, the person he wished to live with,

The peace and time for healing barely lasted a month before Ambrose petitioned Family Court again, and they found themselves back in fear and misery.

During a short respite between years of misery with their father, Matthew, 16, and his siblings ran to their mother this year. Their happiness was not to last long. Their father would not allow it.

Overriding the children’s juvenile court petitions for protection against their father and ignoring Connecticut’s statute permitting children of age 16 to choose the parent with whom they wish to live, Family Court Judge Thomas O’Neill — the one who refused to hear my testimony on the mother’s sound mental health — ruled without talking to a single child that they ran away because the mother was “coercively controlling” the children from afar (despite her having almost no contact for three years), and approved a restraining order against her for a year.

In CT, Ambrose tried to use the police to force Mia back to his home. She refused.
In NY, Ambrose threatened the teens with police.

Dr Lee is the same quack who believed Catherine Kassenoff’s bs. Without meeting Allan she felt qualified to label him an abuser and more. Lee has her own bias. Her sister is another Catherine or Karen. Yale even dismissed her from the dept. I wouldn’t put much weight into anything she has to say. She diagnosis without meeting people and then turns around and says u can’t diagnosis without meeting the person. She’s another real winner here on the Fran Report.

What in the world is happening in family courts?!
What in the world is happening in family courts?!

Did judges in the Ambrose case think Biren Caverly did a full forensic evaluation?

Did they not notice something was “off”?

In all their many years as presidents, directors and members of “AFCC, Inc.” working in family courts and for the Judicial Branch’s “Court Support Services Division” (CSSD) — and with so many professional connections — why didn’t Stephen Grant, Joe Ditunno, Gerard Adelman, Robert Horwitz, Marsha Kline-Pruett and Robin Deutsch develop mandatory standards for ‘custody evaluations’ in family courts?

What happened to all the state funds and federal HHS funds for the past few decades? Does the Comptroller know?

What were the standards for guardians ad litem before 2014? Parents (called “disgruntled litigants” in Hartford Courant articles) demanded the 2014 legislation to create standards for GALs.

One petition …

To: The State of Connecticut Judiciary Committee

From: 700 signatories representing parents, grandparents, adult children of divorce, business leaders, progressive family law attorneys, concerned non-family law attorneys, legal and mental health professionals, and other concerned citizens, taxpayers and voters.

Date: 28 March 2014

Dear State of Connecticut Judiciary Committee Members:

We, the undersigned, respectfully request that the State of Connecticut pass meaningful and effective legislation to overhaul, modernize, and reform our state family court’s broken and inherently corrupt Guardian ad Litem system.

The system we currently have is terribly ineffective, abusive, damaging and does not in any way address the best interests of the children and families of this state. Each one of us has been personally impacted and financially and otherwise devastated by the inherent operational and functional failures in the current system.

Each of us has had suffered Guardian ad Litems who have billed outrageous sums of money, and caused our families and our children very real harm. We have had no one to complain to, no one to turn to, no one to file complaints with.

We have been harmed and taken advantage of by Attorneys for Minor Children and Guardian ad Litems who enjoy immunity, are deemed infallible, and who have played God, judge and jury with our families and our children, while trampling our basic rights to due process, our civil rights, and our rights to be parents for our children.

Raised Senate Bill 494 is a start, but none of us believes it goes nearly far enough. It does not and would not offer us the protections required to avoid what each of us have suffered and been subjected to.

Respectfully signed and submitted,

The Connecticut Coalition for Family Court Reform

What happened after 2014? What happened to the 2015 DOJ “Public Corruption Investigation”? Where are the state laws citing mandatory trauma-informed best practices for custody evaluators, guardians ad litem, attorneys for minor children and court-ordered therapists?

Which individual in the Connecticut Department of Public Health allowed Judge Adelman to prescribe a “therapy” that is “more challenging than supportive in nature”.

What kind of training and which credentials give Mr. Adelman the authority to list “challenging therapy” in his family court orders?

Do Mr. Adelmans court orders of 2022 diagnose and prescribe therapeutic interventions or did Dr. Biren Caverly’s report authorize Mr. Adelman to write a diagnosis and prescription in his mandatory orders?

At the height of her career- independent and happy teaching – respected etc, she gives up her 15+ year career so Ambrose can become a writer.

She raises three magnificent kids. Then he implodes his own career by plagiarizing- so he then filed for divorce and uses his writing skills to create a character and legal tactic of parental alienation.

This woman was framed by Ambrose. He’s a family law writer of fiction. He’s experienced in family law and knows the playbook.

This poor woman and kids. They were set up- framed by one of the canals own.

Fathers should always get custody. If the mother really loves the kids she’ll stick around and take care of the kids and do what her husband tells her to do.
It’s pretty clear Karen did not do that so Chris got a divorce. She can’t complain because she is not around the kids. If she wants to be around the kids do what Chirs says.

It’s pretty simple.

As mandated reporters, all family court evaluators who know or strongly suspect that someone is harming child must report that harm to Department of Children and Families. Dr. Biren Caverly, the evaluator in the case, didn’t file a report with DCF.

Why didn’t she?

Is Dr. Biren Caverly not a mandated reporter when she evaluates families in family court cases?

Either there was harm done or there was no harm done … or family court evaluators don’t follow the law.

It’s a complete head scratcher that Ambrose (nor the CT Family Courts) can’t see that none of Ambrose’s actions are in the best interest of these teens. If it were about their happiness and safety, why not let them reside with extended family or their mother ? I am unaware of any actions by the mother or the extended family that would preclude them from providing these teens w a happy healthy stable environment. They weren’t happy or stable for three years in Ambrose care, why would that be any different ongoing. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Thus, forcing these teens back to Ambrose is the textbook definition of insanity

It is nothing short of evil. It’s like what Keith Ranieri did to the family of Cami . To the Bronfmans. To the Salzmans. Controlling family members and using them against each other for his own sadistic pleasure. It is evil.

Psychopaths with all kinds of psychopathies in control of our world do their best to create “order out of chaos”. They create the chaos to then offer the solutions. The political tactic goes back thousands of years. To conquer nations, conquer families. Peasants and pawns in the game must find the instigators at the top of every conflict and every war to hold those instigators accountable.

In family courts, instigators in executive, legislative and judicial offices arranged for dangerous child custody cases to be mismanaged in for-profit purposely adversarial “family courts”.

For-profit “AFCC, Inc.” networks seem to be a big part of that problem. The same cases with different names, dates and details are in the UK, America, Australia and Argentina. Interesting, right?

Guessing the kind of people who orchestrated those nightmarish family court systems for profit are the same kind of people who fooled so many into starting World War III.

In the Biren-Caverly report … Page 12: “Both were informed that the evaluator is a mandated reporter who would be required to report any suspected instances of child abuse or neglect, elder abuse, or abuse of a handicapped person.”

1. Did Biren-Caverly suspect instances of child abuse or neglect?

2. She must have suspected instances of child abuse or neglect because she told the court to take the children from the mother.

3. So, when Biren-Caverly suspected instances of child abuse or neglect, which office did she call immediately — as a mandated reporter who would be required to report any suspected instances of child abuse or neglect?

4. Did she call DCF as soon as she suspected instances of child abuse or neglect?

5. Or, did she call the “guardian ad litem” Attorney Jocelyn Hurwitz?

There was never any danger. There’s no danger now. There’s no mental illness. These kids were trafficked by Caverly and Ambrose.

Kids were thriving in school on home zoom based learning due to Covid.
There’s evidence of this.

Hurwitz never saw the kids aside from first meeting thrm in sept. She charges $200,000 see FR stories.

There was never any danger. There’s no danger now. There’s no mental illness. These kids were trafficked by Caverly and Ambrose.

Caverly and Robert horwitz are mandatory reporters. They reported nothing. No report to dcf or wellness check by police. They both should lose their licenses.

GALs are not mandated reporters. If they were, the grift could not continue

Dr. Biren Caverly, family court evaluator is a mandated reporter, but she didn’t need to call DCF?

And, Attorney Jocelyn Hurwitz, guardian ad litem isn’t a mandated reporter, so she didn’t need to call DCF? Is Dr. Robert Horwitz, Groomer Extraordinaire and Connecticut AFCC, Inc. Treasurer a mandated reporter?

How about the “family court” judges? Are “family court” judges mandated reporters? Or, is their job to simply take the children without calling DCF first?

Ignoring children’s disclosures of abuse is child abuse.
Not letting children contact a great parent for 90 days is child abuse.
Taking children’s college funds is also child abuse.

How many other laws were broken in that case?

Which larger forces are at play in Connecticut “family courts”?

What do GALS do in Connecticut family courts?

How many legislators are for-profit lawyers?

“Family law” in Connecticut is a purposely adversarial for-profit political industry making billions of dollars.

As wars are waged for profit across the world today, unaccountable state government employees and private vendors encourage conflict for profit in family courts and legislators let it happen — and too many higher up the ladder in the governor’s office want everyone to be gay to reduce the world’s population.

Ms. Biren Caverly wrote: “ The Court requested the current evaluation due to concerns about the parents’ individual psychological functioning while in a parenting role with the children. There have been ongoing difficulties with the parents being unable to co-parent and concerns about parenting time.“

Her report then should have simply said: “The parents never consummated the marriage. The mother doesn’t agree with the father’s alternative lifestyle and the children don’t either. The family court system must stop trying to force parents and children to accept alternative lifestyles. Family courts shouldn’t micromanage families to achieve political, cultural and/or religious goals.”

Ms. Biren-Caverly’s $12,000 report plus her charges of $2,500.00 per day promoted the same political and cultural agenda we’ve seen lately in public schools, multinational corporate advertisement and government offices.

That same political and cultural agenda has been pushed in family courts since AFCC Inc. opened shop in Connecticut in 1980s. (At one point, Gerard Adelman was “Director” and Robert Horwitz was “Treasurer”.

In 2002, HHS gave Connecticut AFCC, Inc. $50,000 to work with for-profit, purposely adversarial political and cultural AFCC, Inc. offices in Massachusetts. NOTE: The Connecticut Chapter of AFCC, Inc. wasn’t registered to do business in the state in 2002.

Some say the Connecticut Inspector General can’t investigate what Connecticut AFCC, Inc. did. Some say the Connecticut Inspector General only investigates local police departments.

Is that’s true, which state/federal office(s) can ask Ms. Biren-Caverly why she didn’t do the evaluation for free?

Jocelyn Hurwitz, Thomas O’Neill, Alex Cuda, Gerard Adelman and others actively have a role in this child trafficking crime. They only care about money and power. They must be held accountable. They should be nowhere near children.

Cuda may be the worst one. What a sick puppy. He manipulates Jennifer’s Law, he fabricates stories,, he lies.

New advertisement idea:

“Needle Cuda Child Trafficking Service.

Do you need a child trafficked in the State of Connecticut? Look no further. Our attorneys are sociopaths who have zero concern for the safety of children. Having a conscience can get in the way of a child traffickers job. We carefully screen our attorneys to ensure their lust and greed for money outweighs those pesky scruples some attorneys may get.

How does it work? Simple. You give us money and we manipulate existing laws to gaslight the judge in your case. We carefully venue shop to find the best suited sociopathic judge for your case.

Contact the child trafficking experts at Needle Cuda today for a free evaluation!”

This mother and kids have been tortured by Caverly and Jocelyn Hurwitz.

They’re career criminals.

Thankful Dr. Lee is stepping in to right the wrongs before someone is dead.

Ambrose manipulated the fbi and police- with tax payer money to surround the home where the wife had stayed. There were at least 12 police/fbi vehicles and 25 armed agents. For a loving mom and teacher.

Ambrose is dangerous. He’ll stop at nothing. He must be stopped. People will die.

Chris killed Cody. I know exactly what happened. He set the stage for the dogs death. Put the dog at highest risk possible and intentionally failed to safeguard the dog all three kids loved and adored. I don’t want to give my name because he’s a nasty retaliatory person who has already shown up at our home without warning and remained when he was unwelcome.

These kids are telling the truth. He’s evil and threatening. He puts on a show but he’s no father. He never took the kids out. Never dies anything with them and is creepy and stalkerish.

Oh please. If that was his plan to kill the dog, he is the luckiest man on earth that it worked. Didn’t they live in a rural area? The odds of the dog getting hit by a car was very very low. Did Chris also plan for the child to leave the door open so the dog could get out?

You all are crazy

“You sure know a lot about this stranger.”

Um, because you’ve been writing about this poor family at your blog for about two years now? And sharing the full custody evaluations? you know, the ones that show the wife coached the kids? Like Giving S. a burner phone and telling him to lie and S. admitting he was told to lie by his mother? Those lies he told in the same video that sleazeball moron Robbie Harvey shared like a drooling dunce?

This is frightening. Nothing in this case makes sense except for what Dr Lee is suggesting.
These kids are the sweetest and they’re in pain. No one runs like this if they don’t need to. This is not a game for them.

Thank you FR for staying in this.

It’s telling the court refused to hear Dr Lees testimony.

They don’t want to reconsider who Chris Ambrose is. And how these judges were hoodwinked by s psycho or complicit or both.

Everyone who wants a simple life shouldn’t even try to make sense of any of this.

Complicated ideas are too difficult right now and everyone should just “go with the flow”. 🤫

… Harold Bloom was an American literary critic and the Sterling Professor of Humanities at Yale University.

In 2017, Bloom was called “probably the most famous literary critic in the English-speaking world.” …

MormonVoices, a group associated with Foundation for Apologetic Information & Research, included Bloom on its Top Ten Anti-Mormon Statements of 2011 list for saying, “The current head of the Mormon Church, Thomas S. Monson, known to his followers as ‘prophet, seer and revelator,’ is indistinguishable from the secular plutocratic oligarchs who exercise power in our supposed democracy.” This was despite Bloom’s sympathy for Joseph Smith, the founding prophet of Mormonism, whom he called a “religious genius”. … 👈

… The sermon is notable for its assertion that God was once a mortal man, and that mortal men and women can become gods (a concept commonly called divinization) through salvation and exaltation. These topics were, and are, controversial, and have received varying opinions and interpretations of what Smith meant. Literary critic Harold Bloom called the sermon “one of the truly remarkable sermons ever preached in America.”

… One author (Searle) estimates that the surviving notes of the sermon contain roughly 30% of the words of the actual address, but that together, they are likely nearly topically complete. …

His work has been cited in hundreds of news outlets, like The New York Times, The Daily Mail, VICE News, CBS News, Fox News, New York Post, New York Daily News, Oxygen, Rolling Stone, People Magazine, The Sun, The Times of London, CBS Inside Edition, among many others in all five continents.

His work to expose and take down NXIVM is featured in books like “Captive” by Catherine Oxenberg, “Scarred” by Sarah Edmonson, “The Program” by Toni Natalie, and “NXIVM. La Secta Que Sedujo al Poder en México” by Juan Alberto Vasquez.

Parlato has been prominently featured on HBO’s docuseries “The Vow” and was the lead investigator and coordinating producer for Investigation Discovery’s “The Lost Women of NXIVM.” Parlato was also credited in the Starz docuseries "Seduced" for saving 'slave' women from being branded and escaping the sex-slave cult known as DOS.

Additionally, Parlato’s coverage of the group OneTaste, starting in 2018, helped spark an FBI investigation, which led to indictments of two of its leaders in 2023.

Parlato appeared on the Nancy Grace Show, Beyond the Headlines with Gretchen Carlson, Dr. Oz, American Greed, Dateline NBC, and NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt, where Parlato conducted the first-ever interview with Keith Raniere after his arrest.
