A Question from Ms. Rose ‘Mo’ Ruan
Dear Frank:
“Listen you blowhard. You wrote about my very good friend Chris Ambrose as follows:
You wrote: “The SNAP fraud — collecting benefits in his daughter’s name using her Social Security number while knowing she was not in his household — is a federal crime under 7 U.S.C. § 2024, carrying up to 20 years. Using her Social Security number to obtain those benefits is aggravated identity theft under 18 U.S.C. § 1028A — a mandatory two years that no judge can waive.”
Let me tell you this, sweetheart: The SNAP thing is a non-issue: He did not need to report Mia left if:
He was on simplified reporting (most people are), and Mia was temporarily gone (this loving father expected her to return any day). Given that situation, Mr. Ambrose had every right to wait until his next recertification or scheduled report.
Frank Answers
Dear Mo Raun
Under simplified reporting, you’re right that households don’t report every mid-period change. But federal SNAP rules (7 CFR 273.12) are clear that even simplified reporting households must report changes in household composition when a member is no longer part of the household.
The “temporarily gone” carve-out covers things like a brief hospitalization, a short work trip, or a college student who maintains the home as their primary residence and returns regularly. It does not cover Mia, who relocated to another state.
That’s not “temporarily gone.” That’s a change in household membership. SNAP eligibility is based on who actually lives in the household and shares meals and expenses.
Mia was living in Florida. She was not a member of Ambrose’s Connecticut household.
Claiming her to receive a higher benefit allotment isn’t a reporting timing question. It’s enrolling a non-member, which is fraud at the point of application or recertification, not merely a missed mid-period report.
The “non-issue” framing fails:
The temporary-absence doctrine doesn’t apply to someone who has established residence elsewhere. Even if reporting timing were the only issue, the underlying claim — that she was a household member — was false.
Mia left the Ambrose home in August 2024. Ambrose applied for SNAP in December 2024. She had been gone for 4 months. She turned 18 in January 2025. Ambrose said in his sworn court filing in March 2025 that she was residing with him and going to school full-time.
She never returned to school for her senior year, which began in September 2024. He has received SNAP benefits since at least Dec. 2024.
Mia collected her own SNAP benefits in Florida in July and August 2025.
This was flagged when Mia reapplied for benefits in March 2026 in Florida.
So Ambrose was collecting benefits a full year after she left in August 2024.
Mia never entered his new beachfront 2.4 million dollar rental, where the lease began in Sept. 2024.
Yet Ambrose claimed in federal court that Mia resided with him full-time, attended school, and that he financially supported her (Pauperis affidavit, March 2025).
The school year ended in June 2025. Mia never attended a single day.
He enrolled a non-member of his household from day one.
The court affidavit is a separate problem. Swearing in a federal court filing that Mia was residing with him and attending school full-time, when she had not returned for her senior year beginning in September 2024, is not a SNAP technicality — that’s perjury.
He was actively asserting it under oath in litigation while simultaneously collecting benefits based on it.
The Florida flag is the forensic link. When Mia applied in Florida in March 2026, the system detected the conflict — meaning that Connecticut records still listed her as an enrolled beneficiary at that time.
She had been out of the household for 19 months, and he was still collecting on her.
TIMELINE
August 2024 — Mia leaves.
September 2024 — He signs a new lease on a home she never enters.
December 2024 — He applies for SNAP listing her as a household member.
March 2025 — He swears in federal court she lives with him, attends school full time, is fully provided for.
June 2025 — The school year ends. She never attended.
July–August 2025 — He is still collecting benefits on her.
March 2026 — Florida flags the conflict when Mia applies for benefits there.
Every point on that timeline works against him. There is no innocent explanation.
The upside is that he won’t have to worry about food stamps or how poor he is or how much rent he says he is paying versus what he is really paying.
I am told that where he is going, all food and housing costs are covered fully – at least for the next few years. Thanks for writing.

The welfare reform act and criminal reform .
1980s Richard Gardner parental alienation theory. Malicious Mommy syndrome
994 Dr. Pine working in Connecticut Family court published article appeared on Parental alienation. Clare Collins Later years, Dr. Pine was convicted of fraud in other matters.
1996 The welfare reform act began. Signed into law by Bill Clinton appearing in the Epstein files and Adulterer. Connecticut Lunching its jobs first program before the welfare reform act was signed. Emphasizing term limits on cash assistance. 1997 the safety net legislation, including food, clothing and intense case management for people who exhausted the 21 months.
1998 fathers and families, now known as the National Parenting Organization, was started in neighboring Massachusetts.
1999 Connecticut passed it’s first legislation for Fatherhood
1999 Sarah Allen and Alen Hawkins coined the term Maternal gatekeeper claims. Fatherhood.org Mothers as a barrier to fatherhood.
The criminal justice reform early roots in the 700 % increase since 1980s . Fatherless epidemic and increase in child support not getting paid. 2004-2021. Connecticut the leader significant reduction of males incarcerated.
INCREASE 600 PERCENT OF INCARCERATION OF WOMEN SINCE THE 1980s. Women are the fastest growing population in prison. The majority minority and coming from backgrounds of poverty. 58 to 60 mothers in prison. 80 percent are mothers in local jails. majority nonviolent crimes.
All states have decreased TANF block grant funding. Fathers 75 % increase to 20-22 %of custodial parents. The larger wage earners. shared parenting doubled in the past 30 years. Equal standards gender neutral treating fathers as equals in the court of equity. Using parental alienation and best interest standards.
Now the move is to eliminate child support and toss mothers into jail when children do not comply. Further driving them into poverty and toss them in jail.
The Entire State of Connecticut’s court system is partnered with the fatherhood imitative. The head of family services, head of violent offender programs, once on the board of Connecticut collision on Domestic Violence Joesph Ditunno married to Dianna Dittuno head of the fatherhood initiative for Connecticut. Winner of equity award. A court of equity. Exceeds $115 billion. OVER 90 % TOTAL REMAINS UNCOLLECTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Women further driven into poverty, jailed and childless. A court of equity.
Connecticut the leader in coursive control of women filing for divorce. Patterns, projects. Over 60 percent of the state of Connecticut work force are women. Single mothers household are twice as likely to live in poverty. Especially since child support obligations are not meet. Articles are now surfacing that the majority of female inmates come from DCF Care. Working hard to unsubstate, often attacked by criminal defense attorney for fathers. Perhaps motivated to bring claims against mothers. Parental alienation industry center on child psychological abuse as a diagnostic weapon against mothers predimiry. Issues brought to the United nations. The largest resources for making parental alienation claims are in Connecticut. With the ” expert” long history of claiming women are lying about neglect and abuse presented about fathers. The promotion of women being the larger perpetrators. Promotion that men are just engaging in reactive abuse. According to court records on Divorce records has a degree in government prior to obtaing degrees in psychology. Claim to be former patient of Richard Gardner. The promotion of 50/50 legislation and removel of child support. Husband of expert previously in child support arrarages. Connected to the study group. The Alienation industry expert presented a version of the three strikes bill in 2014. Absolutely no documentation or proof of Robert Garza claims to his case in the public. Connecticut is home to some of the wealthiest men in the nation. Spending millions on court cases. Senitor Gary Winfield presents legislation to take people off the sex offender registry . A list that resemble mostly people who look like the same people in the Epstein files. Absolutely no one has been arrested since the release of the Epstein files. Maxwell a woman the only one sitting in prison. Michelle Troconis the only one in jail for Jennifer murder. Mawahinny goes free. William Tong president of the United States Attorney generals. What does Mr. Griffin know about the Connecticut branch of the Department of Justice? Equity and opportunity or ambush on the gender most likely to live in poverty. It’s election time. Perhaps we the people need to clean house in the Judiciary and other elected politicians.

The Abuse of the Welfare Reform Act.
Current acting Attorney General. Doesn’t want anything more to happen with the Epstein files. What is happening in Washington is a disgrace. William Tong is no different when it comes to family court. Men hidding abuse, sexual assault and turning funding streams to protect men. With the help of women. Pam Bondi warned that the Epstein files would calapse the United States. The exposing of Connecticut family court system would calapse the state of Connecticut. Our country is never going to step up to the plate, neither will the state of Connecticut. Until women can get their shit together and stop being led by the mysogonist and rape is okay culture we are never going to get anywhere. Besides jail and a homeless shelter.
Almost 50 million dollars to community renewal. Helping fathers. While women lead the pack in poverty and incarceration. Does the program help wealthy white fathers become better parents? Did the family court system make any referrals? The kids were locked up for running away several times. Does this organization just teach fathers how to apply for state benefits after they have the taken away children from their mothers? Does the program teach co parenting skills or direct these fathers on various funding to assist them with custody battles? On line reviews and glass door whistle blowers. Responsible fatherhood.
The United States government already knows women are being driven into poverty and incarceration because of the welfare reform. The same rich powerful politicians that are covering up the Epstein files.

This content came at exactly the right time when I needed it most when I thought Frank was insane. Now I know fomr this georgous content that he probably is.
This does not seem complex. If she didn’t live there, it’s fraud. An absence of a few weeks is understandable with late teens, but a whole year? Ambrose knew what he was doing.
But it’s even weirder someone feels the need to write that preposterous note.
The Frank Report is flailing like a wet noodle, losing ground faster than a toupee in a hurricane. Six days of this “show” and we’ve got nothing but a mountain of grade-A fertilizer; it’s all talk, no walk, and frankly, it’s getting hard to stay up for it. Put your money where your mouth is, chump

Whoever wrote …
looks as willfully complicit as the judges, lawyers and magistrates who know who did what in that “family court” case. Ms Grossman, Mr Adelman, Ms Aldrich, Mr Horwitz, Ms Hurwitz, Ms Caverly and how many others should have predicted disaster would follow deliberate mishandling of the case? Where’s the accounting for public funds they took to deliberately mishandle other equally disastrous and equally lucrative child custody cases?
Evidence-based practices in family courts need data for review. Where’s that data from Connecticut cases? Which office collects family court data for analysis and public oversight?
The late Senator Rob Kane worked as a Connecticut state auditor from 2017 until his death in 2021.
What did he notice about the family courts? How did he die?
Is Keith Harmon Snow’s 2016 book the only known text documenting financial, physical, immediate and exponential costs of the deliberate destruction of families in “family courts”?

“Dr.” Kenneth Robson trained attorneys for minor children and guardians ad litem out of Connecticut’s Public Defenders’ office. Back then, Paul Boyne objected to that perverse “training”. Years later, that same office was tasked with defending Paul Boyne’s advocacy for family court investigations and reform. Instead of defending Mr. Boyne, that office seems to have colluded with state prosecutors to send Paul Boyne to jail — without 24/7/365 access to his attorney. How fair is that?
Also not fair:
Mr. Lothstein’s “The Institute of Living” and the late Kenneth Robson’s role in the Weigand case coverup:
Years later …
… Mr. Lothstein excused Simon Hessler …
… Someone let Kent Mawhinney share a prison cell with Simon Hessler …
… Someone let Mr. Mawhinney walk free …
He still gone free. Young Bride and all. Any connection to the century 21 cult? There is definitely something going on in the Prosucuter office.
Why did Biden give clemency to the man from Bridgeport that killed a mother and son? Why would the former president of the United States give clemency to a Connecticut resident who killed a young mother and her young son. A double homicide in what was once known as the murder capital?
This article rocks for gaming ambrose. He’s a villain.
Methinks Ambrose has no remorse and would do it again for gain.
What an engaging read! You kept me hooked from start to finish. When does Ambrose go to prison.
Relations is beautiful. When l was young l used to always have relations. Evey night, ifa nice gentleman bring me flowers and candy, take me to a movie, show me a lovelyevenin’, then l would take him home and give him hot, lovely relations. Relations is a beautiful thing. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. Especially twoyoung people
You’ve been exposing Ambrose as the liar that he is and now Judge Nagala joins Judge Wilson in finding Ambrose to be a liar who lacks credibility.
His federal case against Dr Lee was dismissed!
He’s definitely dialed the intensity up lately. That specific rant against Ms Rose Mo Ruan is a classic example of his scorched-earth style—he’s clearly not holding anything back. lol

Hollywood won’t touch Ambrose. That’s how vile a creature he is
The mask of off. Ambrose is a conman. And an abusive one. Even after his teen finally escaped him and was legally an adult, he stole her ID so her could steal her benefits all under the false pretense that he’s a victim
His financial decline, failed parenting and failed career are the results of his unethical, criminal conduct –
He is a fraud in every aspect of his life. He does not qualify for snap- not only for his daughter but for his entire family.
Choosing to live in a $3750/mo rental and them crying poverty to get CT taxpayers to pay for your food and health insurance is fraud He’s been doing it for years His time has come
LUTHMANN NOTE: This is where the mask slips. Ambrose didn’t just walk into court—he walked in under oath, claiming poverty while allegedly sitting on assets he’s now scrambling to explain away. That’s not a paperwork issue. That’s a credibility collapse. Federal judges don’t tolerate games with affidavits, and the deeper this goes, the worse it looks. If the records show what the filings already suggest, this isn’t just dismissal—it’s referral territory. The system runs on truth. And when you fake it, the consequences don’t just follow—they accelerate. The Ambrose clock isn’t just ticking. It’s about to strike
More AI slop from the talentless Luthmann

“… retired Judge Lynda B. Munro previously served as the Chief Administrative Judge for Family Matters for five years in Connecticut. She developed the training process for GALs and was the Presiding Judge for the Family Division of the New Haven Superior Court.
She was also a founding board member of the Connecticut chapter of the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts (AFCC), a national trade association that provides services-for-hire to family courts through its members, which include judges, lawyers, mediators and custody evaluators.
They also provide training for judicial employees, including in Connecticut.
AFCC has been instrumental in the push toward courts recognizing parental alienation and pushing for reunification therapy. The Connecticut chapter subsequently went defunct after it was revealed they had never registered as a business or nonprofit in the state and hadn’t made any tax filings. …”

It could have happened to me. Until I fired the piece of shit attorney and blew up everyones email with evidence and facts. Suddenly the GaL gave her death grip when she was confronted with her fudgery. The court system is absolutely going to blind side you. So you go bananas. See look, she was crazy all along. The poor rich father. We saved him from paying child support and alimony. Criminal charges in several cases.
Albino Ambrose appears to be the Connecticut equivalent of a Minnesota Somali welfare fraudster, albeit on a smaller scale. Nick Shirley should investigate.
About 67 out of 100 attorneys for minor children and guardians ad litem no longer “eligible to serve” after 2014.
Did Hartford Courant editors/reporters tell us what happened in 2014?
Perhaps Chris Ambrose suffers from the Cinderella effect. Adopted children. Perhaps he didn’t bond with them like Karen did considering his absence in the early years. While Maddy, Taylor Rea, lunatic Linda go after Karen and attempt to rewrite The children’s stories. Some of us see patterns such as using children for financial leverage in divorce procedures and now financial assistance. Ad long as we toss around clinical hypothesis. Now we can add another one to the mix. Patterns are important.
Allegedly, New Britain 12 year old killed, step father discards the body. His biological children still alive. 30 plus year old man nearly burns down the house to escape years of torture from the step mother. The father didn’t seem to notice while he was alive. 12 year old in Enfield sexually assaulted, rumors she may have been pimped out. Dead with the laptop open on the internet. Behind a locked door. Excuse me your honor. The largest resources for parental alienation has a group just for stepmothers. The ladies claiming Karen is suffering from a hypothetical mental illness. May have their own. Perhaps they are engaging in abuse of biological mothers, the Linda effect.
No matter how one slices and dices it, it’s still an “intentional program violation” under 7 CFR Part 273 Subpart F, and therefore most certainly 𝘯𝘰𝘵 a “non-issue.” Even if the Court elects not to make a criminal referral, Connecticut is still required to investigate the matter and afford Mr. Ambrose due process by means of an administrative hearing. He may not get kicked off of SNAP altogether for a first offense, but he would have to repay Connecticut for benefits wrongfully received.
