About this episode
This episode investigates the issues within America's family courts through the lens of the Geovanna Holton case, highlighting systemic problems and the impact on families.
Today on Steel News, Ann Vandersteel is joined by Arizona court watcher and disability-rights advocate Malinda Sherwyn for a critical investigation into the machinery of America’s family courts. Using the Geovanna Holton case out of Pima County, Arizona as an illustrative example, this episode examines allegations of denied due process, coerced psychotropic drugging, ADA accommodation violations, denial of kinship placement, and the devastating consequences of court-ordered treatment when parents are labeled “incompetent,” “unstable,” “noncompliant,” or “a danger to themselves or others.” This is not just one family’s story. This is a window into a much larger system involving juvenile courts, CPS, DCF, guardianship courts, court-appointed professionals, NGOs, medical contractors, psychiatric evaluators, foster-care networks, adoption pipelines, and government-funded actors who may profit when families are separated. The question today: Is the family court system broken — or is it operating exactly as designed?
