Here is a woman who deserves support.
Brentwood, Tennessee – On June 24, 2022, attorney Connie Reguli was sentenced to 30 days in jail and two years probation by Judge Bill Acree. This sentencing results from Reguli’s battle with the Tennessee Department of Children’s Services (DCS), which involved securing the return of two children for her client, Wendy Hancock, in June 2019.
Reguli and Hancock were charged with felony custodial interference.
Dismissal of Testimonies
Despite testimonies in support of Reguli, Judge Acree dismissed them, emphasizing that the DCS was not on trial.
Due to the conviction, Reguli’s law license was suspended.
Reguli, who maintained her innocence, pledged to continue her advocacy to end funding under Title IV-E of the Social Security Act. The program, administered by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), provides financial assistance to states to support the removal of children from their parents for placement into foster care.
Defending Families for Over Two Decades:
Reguli spent over 20 years defending parents, families, and children against government intrusion.
Reguli’s work includes the case of Andrews v. Hickman County, frequently cited by the Sixth Circuit, and affirmed that social workers are subject to the Fourth Amendment.
Or in short, CPS, DCS workers can’t merely come in your house and take you children.
Reguli represented children in Tennessee’s first case against parents for damages resulting from years of abuse.
Reguli created a social media network called the Family Forward Project on Facebook, which has over 5,000 members.
This platform is a hub for sharing news, legislative updates, personal stories, and legal training, highlighting the widespread public concern about child welfare issues.
Reguli’s awareness of the legislative history, including the Mondale Act of 1974, underscores her criticism of the federal funding system, which incentivizes the ‘re-homing’ of children in America.
She explains how the system financially encourages child removals for “neglect,” rather than providing the necessary services to support struggling families.
Labeling this practice as “generational genocide,” she points out that 85% of child removals from parents are for “neglect,” not “abuse.”
The custodial interference case where Reguli was convicted had all the legal hopping of a kangaroo court.
The prosecutor and judge manipulated the custodial interference statute to fit their case by leaving out certain parts and misrepresenting the law.
If the judge and court officials were any more biased in favor of the Department of Child Services (DCS), they would have called the DCS officials and had them sit on their laps before the jury
.
The animosity was palpable. Anyone who knows how the family court RICO enterprise operates might guess this was in retaliation for Reguli successfully challenging the DCS in previous cases.
They needed to get rid of her; this prosecution was the low road. Her license was suspended, causing her to lose her career. But Reguli is not yet finished.
Her ongoing advocacy shows the need for a thorough investigation into the practices of the DCS and its impact on the welfare of children and families in the state.

Oral Argument
… the court of appeals will hear the arguments on the fake felony. Watch it live. …
She’s a great attorney.
When and how was the judge all the way to the right invited to hear the case?
Who is he and why did he keep interrupting the six minutes requested and allowed?
The judge introduced was Judge Wedemeyer, to the left …

Family courts often deal with domestic violence.
In such cases, terms like “parental alienation” and “coercive control” are frequently used, to hide abuse and perpetuate violence. Parental alienation is often prioritized over domestic violence allegations, providing a defense for the accused and undermining victims’ credibility.
Financial incentives play a role in how these cases end. There’s a disparity in funding between organizations supporting domestic violence victims and those focusing on parental alienation. This has led to a system that prioritizes preserving relationships with abusive parents.
Coercive control, another term often used, is a euphemism for psychological abuse. By using softer language, the courts sidestep recognizing the criminal nature of such acts, further manipulating the discourse in favor of parental alienation.
Unfortunately, many parents have lost faith in the family court system due to perceived corruption and lack of transparency.
Family courts must prioritize children’s well-being and consider caregiver concerns. It’s time for a thorough review of the family court system, particularly in Connecticut.
Connecticut family court administrators definitions in the best interests of the children:
Coercive Control = Parental Alienation
#NoSuchThingAsPerpetrators #LoveIsLove
evil intent = horrible government
We need soooo many more decent people in government to create a good government.
As a family court lawyer I should tell you that family court and child welfare practices are complex and often difficult to navigate. While some parents may feel that the court and DCS are overreaching, I know these entities are tasked with ensuring the safety and well-being of children.
Foster care parents certainly are excellent caregivers, and it is important to acknowledge the valuable role they play in providing children with safe and stable homes.
At the same time, it is important to recognize the impact of removing children from their biological families but DCS and CPS workers know the needs of children since they are trained in this field. .
Regarding Connie Reguli’s case, it is essential to recognize that there are always two sides to every story, and the judge is a exellent judge who I assume knows that DCS was right. While everyone wants reform and improvement in the child welfare system and for the rights of families and children but 9 times out of 10 they get it right.
Have you seen the facilities they are placing children in? A significant amount of children go missing from CPS/DPS. They leave children in homes unfit. Reported by different people over the years. Your entitled to your opinion.
“Attorney who knows” – what color is the sky in your world. I have been trapped in the family courtel for 4 years. While I am sure there are some great people out there doing a great job in the family court system, the lack of oversight and lack of accountability for those who abuse the family court system speaks for itself. Most don’t or can’t report on it and thanks to the Frank Report for reporting on it. For you to sugar coat the broken system shows your true colors. People that don’t call it like I just did are either naive or lying to themselves and others. I used to be naive to this system and I wish I could still be because now that I know, I have to make a difference and make the world a bit better place before I leave it. And, I know that is a difficult task given the money behind the divorce industry and the money it brings in by raping the American people.
Thank you Connie Reguli!! We need an army of people like you.
Thank you
Title IV incentivizes the destruction of families.
The courts are rewarded by using title IV bc it’s more money for the state.
That’s true.
Child support services is constructed as a business. It’s not designed to be a state operated department for the financial assistance to raise children. Just like Maximus inc. Corporation. How are they discriminating and giving money to one gender in Tennessee?
Child traffickers hate when they’re exposed.
DCF does and says whatever they want. They hate it when you exercise your rights.
Their literature says you have the right not to allow them into your home but that can be used against you! Criminality is all over their written documentation.
It’s important to find the good and smart contacts at DCF. Keep insisting on talking with supervisors until you find good smart people who know how to help.
This is what they do. They eliminate any threat. That’s why courts criminalize parents and vilify those who advocate to protect our children.
Thank you Frank, for your continued determination of bringing the truth to light.
Exposure of court criminals is the only way.
“Labeling this practice as “generational genocide,” she points out that 85% of child removals from parents are for “neglect,” not “abuse.”
Sorry, but neglecting a child IS abuse. And an extremely damaging form of abuse at that.
If only everything were so simple.
Ask a few people at the Connecticut Department of Children and Families (DCF) why they use the term “neglect” to label cases in which mothers protect children from sexual abuse.
Ask them if this is one way it happens in family court cases:
If the people you ask at DCF are honest and if they’ve been working there for a few years, they will tell you: It happens all the time.
They substantiated me for neglect, refused to tell me what I did or what I failed to do, how to bring remedy, and then said I was safe to be with children.
It was used to degrade me in family court. Playbook.
Sorry, but the fact is more children are abused by neglect than by beatings or molestation. And it is a horrible form of abuse that is both physical and psychological. A child can’t change their own dirty diaper.
The only way to get custody in USA is having more money for lawyers than your counterpart. No matter how great a parent you are, If you don’t have money for a high powered attorney, you lose everytime. Money wins. Kids lose.
Precisely.
If there were more Connie Reguli’s, the “officers” of the family courts may think twice before acting like common thugs. However, there is not enough, so the one’s that whistle-blow on this sanctioned criminal enterprise get hammered to show the rest of us what will happen to them if they don’t shut up about this national issue which could shut down this cash cow for the divorce industry.
The insanity of apparent Court sponsored child trafficking is becoming more evident with each of Mr. Parlato’s Reports. I pray that the sunlight he is focusing on this criminal epidemic wakes the American people. This is evil I never imagined in the U.S. The truth always comes out at some point.
Yes, you are correct, this is a Criminal epidemic. In the Bryce Emert story that the Frank Report did, the protective dad was thrown in jail for 90 days for whistleblowing on this type of criminal behavior. The Commissioner, Patti Ratekin, tried to child traffic Bryce Emert into a facility. When the dad made a lot of noise, he was maliciously retaliated against. On the day Ratekin recused from the case, she ordered supervised visitation for the dad because he had exposed the criminal RICO enterprise. All the lawyers involved lied and said Ratekin never talked about putting Bryce Emert in a facility ( child traffic) but then looked like the corrupt thugs they are when a recording emerged proving otherwise. The criminal thugs just tripple downed on the dad until he almost died of a massive heart attack. This happened in San Diego California and the criminal thugs are attorneys Dave Schulman, Matt Cord, Catie Young and of course, Patti Ratekin who quit at the Superior Court to private judge at Signature Resolution. This “private” judging is even a bigger scam in some cases.
Since the 1980s, how many child custody cases all over America — and “developed” countries — were forced (under penalty of law) through for-profit mandatory public-private “family courts” in which “family court” employees and vendors eliminated parental rights with government overreach?
Study any “family court” in “developed” nations around the world. Ask the “family court” lawyers and judges (who have judicial authority and immunity) if they’ve ever heard of “Dr. Richard Gardner” and/or “AFCC, Inc.”
Forty years of no oversight and no accountability for the exact same patterns of state and federally-funded extortion and racketeering in purposely adversarial for-profit “family courts” must mean something. 🤔
Much respect Connie Reguli
