We Lost Another Mom over the Holidays
Family Court: Stained with the Blood of Women & Children
Sadly, we lost another mom over the holidays. She’d battled unsuccessfully to protect her child in Family Court and the father murdered him.
Now both she and her son are dead. Family Court is stained with the blood of women and their children.
Aubree Robinson was a victim of the Custody Crisis. A judge gave her violent ex custody and then the predictable—and preventable—happened a little over a year ago.
Aubree had been hanging on ever since she lost Little Leo. She had been speaking out about her tragedy in the year since his death in the hope it would make a difference.
I barely survived the family court system. My son did not.
Apparently, the immense pain of having lost her precious little boy took its toll and she lost the struggle to survive just before the New Year. However, the cause and manner of her death have not yet been made public.
Aubree’s voice still matters to our cause to end the Crisis—even in death.
AUBREE’S STORY
Aubree left an abusive relationship just a few weeks after finding out she was pregnant. Leo was born on March 22, 2019.
Aubree entered the Safe at Home Program with Leo, a government program that keeps the victim’s address confidential so the perpetrator does not know where she lives. That is how afraid she was of him.
I was really afraid of him and what he might do if he found out where we lived.
Aubree was in for a rude awakening, like millions of mothers around the world, when she entered Franklin County, Ohio Family Court. The judge ordered not only joint custody but equal parenting time—one week on, one week off. She was ordered to “co-parent” the baby with her abuser.
The judge based the ruling granting the father equal parenting time on the fact that his violence was “in the past”—the abuser-enabler mantra—and it was only against her. Aubree stated her concerns for Leo’s safety, saying he was afraid of his father and was screaming and holding onto her during exchanges. The judge dismissed this by saying “kids act like that sometimes”, and it was because she was the “favored parent” (precursor of parental alienation).
Aubree showed the judge some of the many abusive text messages the father would send, in which he would harass, threaten, and gaslight her. But the judge dismissed this evidence too, asserting that they were not “direct threats”, since he hadn’t said exactly what he was going to do.
Leo was eventually diagnosed with autism. He was not able to say exactly what his father was doing to him. He would return from visits with bruises, rashes, bad ear infections, and sometimes needing medicine to prevent anaphylactic shock. But Aubree was told it had to be worse than that to be considered abuse or medical neglect.
After Leo’s diagnosis, things kept getting worse. Her ex denied Leo was autistic and kept threatening Aubree to stop his treatment.
Thus, she was put in an untenable situation. She had no choice but to notify him of appointments, school events, and therapy, as it was in the parenting plan. She was worried if he didn’t include him, he would use it against her in court to try and take Leo away from her. But the more she tried to include him in the treatment, the angrier he got.
The judge found that the father has the right to choose whether or not to accept his son’s diagnosis or participate in his therapy, even though the pediatrician the father took him to concurred with the diagnosis.
That it wasn’t considered medical neglect, I don’t understand, as autism is a disability.
Meanwhile, the father would refuse to allow Leo to speak or have video chats with Aubree during his parenting time. In February, 2023, he was held in contempt for that, but there were no consequences, of course, because he is the father.
THE FATEFUL VISIT
In September of 2023, when Leo was 4-years-old, Aubree said goodbye and I love you for the last time, as she handed him over to the father at a custody exchange.
On September 6, 2023 my son did not want to go to see his father. Half way to the meet up spot he was screaming and crying.
I decided to stop at a rest area to see if I could help him calm down and to see if he could tell me why he didn’t want to go. He couldn’t tell me. He just would say no and scream if I asked if he wanted to see his daddy. I have a video recording of him not wanting to go.
…I tried to say goodbye and I love you but the father grabbed him and walked away quickly. I hope he heard me as that was the last time I ever saw him again.
On September 13th, the father texted Aubree that he would not be returning Leo to her.
He had taken him to Virginia. Aubree went to Wise County and asked the police to accompany her to retrieve Leo from his father. She produced the custody order he had violated, but the police refused to assist her.
Over the next month Aubree kept trying to get Leo back. She argued her rights under the UCCJEA [Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act], which governs interstate parental abductions. Judges from both counties conferred and she was granted an emergency order for sole custody—and for her ex to hand over Leo to her immediately.
Aubree showed law enforcement all of this. They still they refused to help.
On October 18th, she was finally able to get a “welfare check”. Father and son were discovered deceased. He had murdered Leo and taken his own life.
Leo’s murder was completely preventable. The patriarchal systems enabled the father to commit this terrible crime.
Aubree had fought so hard to protect her baby. The violent father should never have been given unsupervised visits, much less equal custody. But, like so many mothers, she was unable to protect him, as Family Court is designed specifically so mothers do not have the power to protect their precious children.
RIP Aubree & Leo
TAKEAWAYS
Notice that the police would not lift a finger to help Aubree get her young, disabled son back, despite the fact that she produced an emergency custody order. She continuously told them she was very worried for his safety and had evidence to support that fear, them having to be in a Safe at Home program.
But the police dismissed her concerns, enabling the knowingly violent father to keep control of “his” child, even in the face of judges’ orders to return Leo. This shows that there is a multi-systemic agenda to keep men empowered over “their” women and children. Law enforcement not only aids and abets family courts in empowering fathers, as we so often see, it also acts independently to do so. But any domestic violence victim without children can tell you that.
Now, let’s just stop a moment and picture the shoe on the other foot. If Aubree had taken Leo from the father against the court order, even with evidence supporting he was an abuser and she took her child for safety reasons, law enforcement and U.S. Marshals would have broken down the door to get Leo back to his rightful owner. And Aubree would have been indicted for abduction and jailed for having dared challenge male authority.
But not fathers—no sir. They get away with murder, literally as well as figuratively.
A second takeaway is that Aubree’s case is a good example of why women should not accept the equal parenting dogma created by the Old Boys. Leo was harmed greatly by having to go back and forth, a week on and week off, especially being so young and emotionally vulnerable. [Of course, he should not have had to be with his father at all unsupervised, since his father is a DV perpetrator, but that is for another discussion.]
The Old Boys control the custody narrative with two inconsistent arguments. First, they assert men and women are equal under the law and, hence, have a right to equal parenting time. But they also agree that the children’s best interests should prevail. These are contradictory.
Either parent’s rights or best interests prevail, but men butter their bread on both sides. They deliberately conflate equality with parenting and confuse the issue. Although men and women are indisputably equal in the eye of the law as citizens, that is not the standard which is supposed to prevail when it comes to parenting.
The Old Boys cover their bases by claiming that fathers and mothers are equal and the same and, hence, equal parenting is in the best interests of children.
The fact is, mothers and fathers are not the same. Mothers gestate, give birth, nurse, and primarily nurture children. This makes the mother the primary attachment figure, and this bond remains throughout childhood. Hence, mothers are more important than fathers for children’s healthy development. This is a biological and psychological fact. To claim otherwise, as the Old Boys do, is obviously in service of their agenda—to keep men empowered after separation.
Note that men do not fight for equal parenting time within the marriage. In fact, they usually avoid it. It is only when the relationship ends it becomes an issue. That is telling as to the motives of control and financial benefit.
Neither the research, nor common sense support that it is in children’s best interests to be shunted back and forth half-time. It is best they live primarily with their primary attachment figure.
The problem for women is that men control the narrative in judiciaries and legislatures around the world. Their false assertions have been widely adopted—in practice, if not in the black and white letter of the law.
It is a societal consensus that the best interests doctrine overrides the fallacious argument that it equal parenting should prevail. The problem is not the doctrine itself, as so many women believe. It’s that judges have the power to lie—to make false findings that switching custody to the father is in the best interests of children when it clearly is not.
Men are able to control the custody narrative by conditioning women to go along with it. They are winning because they’ve organized as men, as a class, under the auspices of the Old Boy Network, for thousands of years. The only way women will have enough power to take their power back to keep and protect children is for women to also unite as a class.

RIP Aubree & Leo
Aubree’s father just posted this video on Youtube a month before her passing. She shared it on her social media saying, “I love you, my baby.” It makes for a wonderful tribute to her and Leo.
[NOTE: we do not know yet how Aubree died. It may not have to do with Leo’s death, but it is likely that if Leo were still here, she would still be also.]

CHAPTER 28 IS OUT!
CHAPTER 28 of Mother-Fucking: The Saga of One Fucked Mother begins with Act III, Part 4 of “The Opera” from Book 3. The Opera has three Acts with five Parts—one for each of the three Family Court and two Appellate Court trials. Chapter 28 covers all of Act III; Parts 4 and 5: the third Family Court trial and the second Appellate Court trial. [This is a long chapter and will be published in newsletter-sized bites.]
In this first section of Chapter 28, Legion has been deprived of any legal contact with her boys for over a year, but continues to meet with them clandestinely. She is angered about Herry and his new wife not giving them the many gifts she has sent—in their efforts to alienate them and make her “The Invisible Mother”. She ponders if she should have run with her boys.
Legion is horrified when she later comes to realize the boys cannot remember anything about their lives before being taken away from her. Herry had succeeded in his goal of erasing her—all her love and nurturing, as well as all the fun times together—from their minds and hearts.
In the last section, Herry and his new wife do their best to keep the boys from seeing or communicating with Legion, but she continues to meet and talk to them clandestinely. The Appellate Court ruling comes down affirming the fraudulent and sexist Family Court findings and orders. The justices stick it to Legion even more by making her pay Herry’s legal costs. This brought the curtain down on Act II of The Opera.
Dr. Blue’s novel is based on her own experience of the Custody Crisis. It uniquely conveys how Family Court judges are “mother-fucking” women—a form of systemic oppression and violence directed at ex-wives—as protagonist Legion is systematically and methodically deprived of her children and money and reduced to “one fucked mother”.

TEASERS
Pissed‑off and Revenging Edinsmaier’s patriarchal plan has worked out just mightily fine to a colossal extent, … hence Mirzah’s “ ... not before 11 years of age do I remember a thing about my life. And I don’t want to.”
The plan was: you were never going to hear a thing––bad or good because I did not exist to you––immediately and for always after Daddee‑Herry spirited all of you out of and away from 6143 Havencourt and The Teacup on that autumnal Saturday…I ceased to be. And so did you in the sense of your lives before that day, in the sense of your lives … with me.”
The stinging pungency of this Columbus Day weekend stench was still so fresh on my mind as I left the factory and approached Interstate 35 headed for yet another Friday evening of sitting in my cold car trying to find either Jesse or Mirzah or Zane for a few minutes or catching even just a sighting of one of them.

I'm saddened to learn of the unjust deaths of sweet innocent Leo and his mother! This patriarchal system needs to be abolished and the perpetrators need to be held accountable! I too lost the right to care for my daughters full time. In an unfair abuse of power custody grab my young was taken from me. The abusive dad and his new wife continu to abuse me to this day. I am completely cut off from my daughters. My plight is in Chatham Virginia Pittsylvania county Virginia. I too called police to enforce my custody order, the police sided with the abusive dad and arrested me on trumped up charges saying that I interfered with police all because I called the higher ups to inform them on what is happening in the county in which I unfortunately reside in. I've still not seen my daughters ever again since September 29, 2024. Another heartbroken mother!
