Yesterday, Christopher Ambrose surrounded a Rockland County home with police officers to force his three teenage children out of their safe haven.
He succeeded.
Mia, 16 years -10 months, Matthew, 16 years – nine months, and Sawyer, 13, lived with their mother’s cousin, John Laurenzi, for the last month.
Police had no order to return the teens to Ambrose.
The restraining order did not allege any wrongdoing by Laurenzi, a respected wrestling coach, martial arts instructor, and contractor, who had merely offered the teens a safe haven when they fled from their last refuge to escape from their father.
Police minced no words when they told Laurenzi that the teens had to left his home because of the restraining order.
Forced out of the cousin’s home, homeless, without money, surrounded by police, their father, and a CPS worker who scolded them, the teens left Laurenzi’s home and entered Ambrose’s car.
Reportedly, they returned to Connecticut with their father, who they claimed abused them.
Shortly before the teens had to leave their haven at their cousin’s home, Mia sent this video to many parties.
In the video, she said:
Mia Says She Is Not Going Back To Her Father –

Second Video Sawyer Makes Disclosures
Mia Ambrose
It’s 532 and I’m with my brother Sawyer. And Sawyer tell them what’s going on.
Sawyer Ambrose
So basically, they got an order to have us go back with Chris. But we were gonna go to the courthouse first. But after that, they didn’t say whether or not we’re going back with Chris, if we go to the courthouse, and there was like, 12 cops here, and they were banging on the door trying to get us to come out.
Mia Ambrose
And I’m not going to be forced to go that I don’t want to go back and I’m not going back to somebody who abused me. So what do you have to say?
Sawyer Ambrose
I’m not going back. He molested me. He touched my penis. I’m not going back to him.
Mia
This is ridiculous that the court is doing less

A month earlier, Ambrose came with Mount Pleasant Police and CPS workers who threatened to remove the teens from their safe haven with a family friend, and place them in Pleasantville Cottage School, a juvenile detention home, where they would be “beaten and raped daily.”
The teens fled to Laurenzi’s home, a refuge that ended tonight for them.
This is not the first time Ambrose used the restraining order tactic to force his children out of the home they preferred to his home.
He forced the teens from their mother’s home in August, when he persuaded CT Judge Thomas J. O’Neill to issue a restraining order against the mother, barring her from contacting her children.

Ambrose persuaded Judge O’Neill that the mother, not he, was coercing the children. His proof was that the children wanted to live with their mother, and that suggested she was brainwashing them.
He then asked the judge to coerce them out of their mother’s home and back to him. The judge issued the restraining order that made the teens homeless.

Please leave a comment: Your opinion is important to us!
She is the angel warrior. A beautiful, loving young woman who stands for truth and justice.
It’s spiritual – these kids know and live their truth. ❤️❤️❤️
You have a beautiful future ahead of you! Prepare for it. 💐
Agreed! So important to remember.
Totally agree and sorry that I’m commenting a little late. Not sure if MMS will see it at this point, but deciding to go ahead with a comment, anyway.
Anon is totally right. There is nothing but a beautiful future ahead for you guys. Especially so, since you’ve been through such pain and hardship.
I can already see you’re developing a deep understanding of the human condition. You’ve experienced more than a lot of people your age what its like to feel vulnerable, seemingly powerless and under great threat and intimidation. Your household was surrounded by a dozen policemen who, in attempting to assert their power? Threatened you with rape and beatings!
And who asked for this? But the guy who pretends to be your loving father. It’s completely insane.
I really hope this whole experience is going to lift your spirits. You children have been made wise. And things are going to work out for you. Don’t let this present circumstance get you down.
Any adult out there that have been threatened by a parent and a cop squad along with CPS– the public servants we pay to protect kids?
These kids have been through hell. They’re amazing. Mexico is coming.
These kids know their rights. The question is, why are their civil rights being violated?
Repeatedly…
Oh, I forgot, wealthy white asshole for a father, brown kids… in CT. Makes sense.
We need the Guatemalan Community and Mexican Community on board here.
Interesting Ambrose is always alone. He is always with paid public servants but not a friend or relative anywhere.
No one goes with him to court. No one goes with him to force his kids to return.
Seems he’s an empty hollow soul. A dark soul.
He probably wants to keep his friends and family safe from psycho whackjobs like you.
Desperate.
He pretends to be a barber online and shaves the heads of Latino boys. But okay. He’s a great dad. 😅
Kids don’t make this stuff up– and run and run– and be inconvenienced and stand up to 15+ cops and threats for nothing.
Fucking pay attention before someone is hurt.
If nothing else this clown is using public resources to torment innocent kids.
They do when mom teaches them to do that.
Sure Chris. The world is alienating you from your children. Projection.
I’ve known this kid since she was in kindergarten.
She’s lovely and tells the truth.
Please help her.
“Our abuser”? A teen would say “that a-hole” or “scumbag” but never would they say abuser unless coached by a legal savvy adult to repeat the word “abuser”.Teens don’t speak like that. No boy would say penis, he’d say “that mother f-er touched my junk”.
Scripted. The grammar gives it away every time.
A mother losing custody is extremely rare. The situation must’ve been quite desperate for that to have happened. Let’s hope she’s getting help and that her family life can turn around.
Nice try Chris. Using those writing skills again. 🤣😂🤣😂
Not rare at all. It’s happening throughout the country everyday. It’s a silent epidemic. Parental alienation is the pedos and abusers weapon of choice. Get your facts straight.
Yep. They’ve also obvs been coached to recite to cops, “We don’t feel safe with him.” While showing literally zero sign of fear at all.
These kids are incredible. Most adults couldn’t withstand half of what they’ve been subjected to.
He’s insane. Utterly insane. Common sense is all you need to see it.
You’re beautiful Mia. Powerful and confident. Your brothers and you are a threat to Ambrose. That’s why he had to contain you.
The truth will lock him up. It’s coming.
Beautiful young woman. Keep speaking out– do not let than animal silence any of you.
Sawyer such a brave young man. You will be heard. Do not let him make you live in fear. Put a bubble around you and stay close to each other. He will try to divide and isolate you. Don’t fall for it. Don’t let his dynamic take hold. Spend time with each other. Stay together. And stay away from his toxic word and voice as much as possible. He’s a master manipulator and it’s incredible you’ve been able to resist and survive as long as you have.
His time is coming to an end.
These kids have had their civil rights violated too many times to count.
The courts need to turn kids over to their mother. DCF needs to wake up and stop protecting their pedo.
What civil rights???
Time for all of Hollywood who signed the gag orders regarding Ambrose’s activities, to leak the truth.
We don’t need three dead kids for the sake of protecting a network.
Which gag orders?
Where are CT leaders? Who will step up for these children?
DCF is busy hunting and innocent mother to support the baseless RO O’Neill put on the mother to force kids from safe harbor.
The system is so corrupt it’s painfully obvious. The kids SOUGHT SAFETY and Ambrose, the abuser, worked the system to force the kids out– and rendered them homeless.
IF anyone looks at the photos of three teens refusing to go with police for hours– because they have screamed of the abuse–and have evidence to prove it– and still they are forced with their fucked up, creepy, disgusting excuse for a human being of a father, Chris Ambrose, it makes anyone sick.
A father who WANTS 15 police for FORCE his kids into his vehicle and greets them with an ALARM system to PREVENT THEM FROM ESCAPING, it’s clear his a psychopath and an abuser– and why are authorities permitting this to occur???
“… VICTIMS of a warped social experiment in Germany where authorities deliberately placed troubled kids with pedophile foster parents are set to win compensation.
Between 1969 to 2003, these homeless boys aged between six and 14 were handed over to pedos — because it was thought the vulnerable kids might benefit from their attention. The twisted logic behind the “Kentler experiment”— named after the leading sexologist Helmut Kentler who spearheaded it — was that pedophilia could have “positive consequences. …”

Mia-
Please don’t be insulted!!
Loose the piercings until your mom wins custody!!!!
The piercings make you seem like a rebellions teenager…
The courts will value your opinion more!!!!! It’s important!
The courts are a bunch of old white people….. They’re shallow and judgmental!
Play the game! Then dress however you want!!!!
Sincerely trying to help!
And I thought you understood the game NiceGuy. They took her mother four years ago. Not one piercing. They’ve abused the fuck out of her for four years– do you honestly think
one piercing or ten is going to make a difference.
The court has yet to hear her speak.
You’re a fool to think it’s a game.
It’s all about money. Nothing to do with appearance, and piercings don’t make someone a rebellious teenager.
Maybe it’s the armour she needs to keep a fucking pedo rapist father away from her.
Or maybe she just likes it.
I think she looks terrific. Given the hell these kids have been through– seriously? We’re commenting on her piercings? Ugh.
I agree. She’s a beautiful young woman and the piercings are a distraction. If they serve a good purpose and if they help her for some reason, help is good. She’s smart and good and will figure it out ❤️
these kids have been clear and consistent for four years–
Their experiences and presentation of facts has never changed.
They’ve been silenced by Ambrose and his ability to manipulate the courts, police and dcf.
He’s got the money, he’s got the connected attorneys, and he’s got no ethics.
He sees kids as property– ownnership to be used and abused by him.
He’s going down.
Alone.
“Connecticut family courts” were manipulated way before Mr. Ambrose arrived on the scene. He’s simply enjoying the perverted rewards of 40-year-old criminal racketeering.
Ambrose set it up ahead of time with his brother, Neil Ambrose. This was no accident. A paid for decision well ahead of time. It was over in Sept. 2019. All sides playing for pedo Ambrose. Evidence is clear. It’s a matter of time. Ambrose will lose. He already has. Millions can’t force kids to love you- or even like you.
Seems like they knew in 2019 that Bruce Freedman was a “go-to” guy to set up the “PAS” flip and switch. Any good AGs office would check their phone records and find out who set up that custody flip. Adelman and Horwitz ran a for-profit “non-profit” on that extortion racket for decades — and the AG office really has no idea? Any good AG office would have investigated Mr. Nusbaum’s crimes and had him arrested already.
It looks like we’re on our own in a very big, very corrupt world and criminals ruin everything.
“Their experiences and presentation of facts has never changed.”
That’s not what the hospital reports say.
These children a screaming for help!
Mia we are all watching this horrific journey and I would like you to know that there are a lot of people that care about you and your brothers. You will be back in your mothers loving arms.
Mia and Sawyer– all three of you are courageous and brave. To have the calm to make a video and get information out to the public is unbelieveable. Please don’t let Chris Ambrose shut you down–even in your captivity. He is a sick person–as you all know.
We will be calling the senate and legislature about your situation. We need to keep screaming until we are heard. Thank you FR for your continued coverage of their lives. This is sinister. Truly sinister. WHEN is the state going to investigate this creep of a captor.
I’ve already contacted numerous foundations and people who unfortunately know who Chris A is. We are going to work together to stop this racist abuse on our adopted children.
Contacted many people. Only the beginning.
Everything is going to be okay, Mia.
Last thing ! Don’t hurt your self kids !!! Then he wins. Don’t .
I’m so upset. I’m literally going to show this to every single human being I come into contact with !!! The post man, my hair dresser, my friends their friends . This is too much. Ambrose is a monster 👹
No one knew or cared who you were before but believe me you NOW people are going to know that name. Pedophile .
He isn’t a pedophile, you whack jobs.
So over it. Done reading about it I’m contacting the news.
I cant believe this bull shit. Chris Ambrose is a pedophile !!!! What good is the law if it doesn’t protect children from being molested abused and traumatized !????!!!!!!!!!!??
I am livid. Takin it on myself to send this to civil rights attorneys.
I’m sending this to everyone everyone everyone I know !!!
The court is demonic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He is not a pedophile.
Why else would an adult male frequent websites such as:
“Latino Boiz” and “Young Hot Latinos”?
Karen probably visited those websites when she stole Chris’ laptop and had it in her possession.
On the remote chance sbe didn’t, maybe he visited the sites for the same reasons someone might click on an image that takes them to a website called “”Latina Girlz” and”Young Hot Latinas”. Most porn websites aren’t called things like “old ugly latinas”
Total nothingburger.
The “total nothingburger” on page 24: “Mr. Ambrose stated that Ms. Riordan had showed the teacher a website called Latino Boiz, which he stated does not include children. He remarked that the Judge spoke to the attorneys and made sure “nothing actionable on it.” …
I guess you missed the part where an ex-cop fired for serious ethics violations who now is a PI called “ black ops investigations” was hired by Karen to help her flip custody… and he just so happened to “find” those sites on Chris’ laptop, which Karen stole and gave to the PI.
Karen is the bad guy here.
… Mr. Ambrose stated that Ms. Riordan had showed the teacher a website called Latino Boiz, which he stated does not include children. He remarked that the Judge spoke to the attorneys and made sure “nothing actionable on it.” …
“… This is a video clip from Connecticut’s mandatory guardian ad litem / AMC training. …
Mona and Howard are married and have three children, Justine, 13 years; Kevin, 6 years; and Amy, 18 months. According to Howard, a lack of intimacy with his wife led him to have an affair with Olive – the babysitter who is “half his age”. He allows his 13-year-old daughter to use her cell phone to send provocative photos of herself to her friends.
Mona is anxious and depressed.
Her psychiatrist ruled out all other possible reasons for her symptoms (such as her husband’s criminal behaviors) and diagnosed her as having postpartum depression. He prescribed medication which caused suicidal thoughts and excessive drowsiness. At some point, she fell asleep on the couch while her 18-month-old daughter sat on the floor chewing on a pill bottle – prompting someone to recommend supervised visitation for her when she is with her children. …”
Connecticut family court “Dr.” Sidney Horowitz wrote the script.

I know I won’t get an answer, but what would you call yourself?
This is the most sick and twisted child custody case I have ever heard of. I realize that through the court’s lens, the children are not old enough to make an adult decision which parent they want to live with. However, they have been vocal about the physical and verbal abuse by their father and yet the courts keep forcing them to go back and live with this sick man. Where is the court’s responsibility to place these children in a safe place and away from a parent that they all say is abusing them. This case needs to bypass Connecticut Family Court and be taken over by a higher court that has the children’s best and safest interest.
Please research the Wilkinson case. Happened several years back. It’s the worst in history to date. Her oldest son looking for his mother. Missing for years presumably dead. Rumored to be murdered. The oldest son committed suicide as a young adult. The oldest son wasn’t Mr. Wilkinson biological or adopted son. Arrest warrant were issued for 4 judges in Hartford. The Hartford police wouldn’t serve the warrants. Senitor Richmond Blumenthal was the Attorney general at the time. He protected the judges. History may point the Richardson Blumenthal D-CT to begin the head of the snake and leader of Connecticut. Research the case. Multiple states just like this case.
Stop exploiting these kids for clicks.
In what way is this exploiting? This article simply is biased towards the kids, due to the circumstances after reading this article. I know that spreading awareness, and getting these suffering young childrens voices heard is of upmost importance. They’re being forced into an abusive predators home. All this article does is get the message out and get these kids justice.
Jack, I agree with your point, but it is important to journalistic integrity to note that there is no “bias” when quoting the Riordan children.
FP’s bringing their written and taped words and videos to the “public square,” as lawyers say, is what prevents biased reporting.
There is zero evidence the father is abusive or a predator. However, there is lots of evidence the mother is guilty of extreme psychological abuse of the children. It’s why she has a new restraining order against her.
Karen knows damn well having the kids run away like this wont get her custody. But she still encourages them to go on the run, trash their educations, and entertain their school frenemies with this online nonsense— all to put on this dog and pony show for her. She is sick. She only cares about sticking it to her ex, with no concern for how much she hurts the children in the process.
I think the kids ran away on their own and will leave again now soon or when they turn 18.
It’s obviously Mr click sick DICK CHRIS himself or one of his whores who wrote this!!! Don’t even react to his idiotic comments. He thrives off of the attention. He has gotten more attention from the courts under the name of his said justice than he ever has in his toxic waste of a life. The only reason why any of his court whores give two winks about him is because he pays. Read that again. Because he pays.
Nobody paid me for my opinion.
So hypocritical of you to say Karen. You write most of the comments here. You need help. You are harming your kids and you’re too hateful to see it or you just don’t care. For you, hurting Chris trumps your children’s well-being. And please stop with the homophobic comments – they’re immature and disgusting. Do better!
WATCH:
“Doctors” working in Connecticut “family court” will try chemical restraints, next.
Chemical restraints are actually what many Connecticut family court psychologists recommend when children refuse to visit/live with identified perpetrators of sexual abuse.
Family court “Kids for Cash” criminals are the most unruly, the most dangerous and among the most privileged class in Connecticut, for some reason.
The worst is that our judicial system created, thanks gross man, and continues the nightmare for the children. this is so bad in many ways!
How long were the kids free before Ambrose coerced them back? This is a crazy story. They used Jennifers Law to take the kids from the mother. If something bad happens to the kids because of Chris they’ll call it Mia or Karens law -after a woman like to protect women then give the kids in the next case to the abuser.
Mothers in the state of Connecticut. Women are being written out of the laws in Connecticut. Over 5 million dollars donated by what appears to be mens rights groups to universities in Connecticut. Billions of dollars of funding for fatherhood running the state. The Joshua Komisarjecky are taking over. Forget about your passing of laws to bring More funding to the state of Connecticut. It’s time for protest. It’s time to demand your civil rights are upheld. Access over the best interest due to federally funded fatherhood initiative welfare reform. Women and children are being lead to slaughter in family court. It’s time to start demanding equity and protect from the hypothetical theories of parental alienation and the gender bias laws and language being written into the state of Connecticut legislation. Time to take to the streets peacefully to stop the gender apartheid in Connecticut!
It looks like Connecticut Attorney General Tong is protecting Gerard Adelman and Robert Horwitz. Adelman and Horwitz are two individuals in the public-private for-profit network who set the stage for that nightmare.
Mr. Adelman was registered as the AFCC, Inc. Director. He was the judge in the Ambrose case who took the children from the mother to place them with the identified perpetrator.
Mr. Horwitz was the AFCC, Inc.Treasurer. He was one of the “therapists” in the Ambrose case. Connecticut AFCC, Inc. was registered to operate their business 2013-2015. They have operated the same businesses in the same for-profit networks since the 1980s.
Attorney General Tong knows all of that.
Why isn’t Attorney General Tong protecting Connecticut from that “kids for cash” racketeering?
The “therapy” they used in the Ambrose case is Richard Gardner’s “Threat Therapy”.
Where is the mainstream news to properly inform Connecticut residents?
Most Connecticut residents still have no idea what the family courts have been doing to children and families for massive profits.
So, who’s to blame? Mainstream news outlets?
State legislators? The Attorney General? The governor?
Wake up, Connecticut. It’s long past time to start governing yourselves.
Impeach William Tong.
AG offices: know about the purposely adversarial Connecticut family court racketeering
AG offices: represent the state of Connecticut
We love you Mia!
You got the worst adoptive father- he’s a ruthless evil POS.
You’re right – 100 percent. Who does this to kids? So proud of you, Sawyer and Matthew. I hope police get involved and lock him up. He’s a pathetic excuse for a human being
Impressive, credible young adults. They should not be out through this.
Someone of power and authority help them!!
It seems the only one with power is Chris. Nobody goes against him even with these children’s future at stake. He is a snake in the grass and will strike at anything he don’t like. I was wondering why he was allowing the kids (please note I do not call them his kids, he don’t deserve them) to stay in New York as long as he did now we know. He was building a prison to bring the kids back to, alarms on the doors, locks on the windows, he has them in prison. All I can say is God have mercy on your soul, Chrisass cause you are gonna need it.
The only one with power is: law enforcement
So far, Connecticut family courts allow crimes against children and families and state law enforcement allows that Kids for Cash racket.
“The only one with power is: law enforcement”
Yes, isn’t it just completely unfair that only people who follow the law have been getting their way in this case? NO FAIR! Karen should be allowed to violate the law any way she wants and have the police back her up.
Not.
“The only one with power is: law enforcement” …
and law enforcement usually defers to the “family court” judges’ orders. 😜
That’s probably one reason Mr. Adelman is so afraid of grand juries in Connecticut.
Let’s see:
Did the same people who got rid of the grand jury trials also get rid of the sheriffs?
