You can't intervene with an abuser without risk to yourself and children. It's better to film abuse and have proof. Abusers will always deny abuse. Filming is the only hope for justice, otherwise it's he said she said.
We dontnhave video but photos so hopefully it holds up. TY for your suggestion!!❤️❤️
I have videos of all the lies and my public pretender won't allow me to enter my evidence she said " we aren't going in there proving everyone liars". I can't help it if my evidence exposes a teen who lied, a GAL and probation officer! #iamcatherine
THIS IS MY DAUGHTERS STORY! We just found out she's been physically and mentally abused by her husband the past 4 yrs and he has had their girls, 10, 7 and 6 months talken away from her. DFS tested him for drugs he's positive for Meth and HE GETS THE KIDS!! ??? 🤬🤬 Lord help us as we now fight for her and her 3 daughters 🙏 But this story ....😢😢😢😢 My 30 yr old daughter is fighting for the strength to keep going, WHAT DO I DO????😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Prayers for you and your family. God is your greatest allie. I know can sound corny but please pray & I will pray too 🙏🏼
@@heytam7162 TY 🙏
L♡VE & SUPPORT ALL ROUND. 🙏🏻
UNFORTUNATELY, THE COURTS DO WHAT THEY BELIEVE IS BEST FOR THE CHILDREN & IN MOST CASES THAT WILL BE WITH MOM.
I DON'T KNOW THE FULL STORY SO I CAN'T COMMENT FURTHER ON WHY THEY CHOSE DAD. IT'S A REALLY SAD SITUATION & I FEEL FOR YOU.
I JUST HOPE THE KIDS ARE DOING OK, IT'S NOT NICE BEING CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF GROWN-UP PROBLEMS.
@@cheryl5994 not true
Record everything. Keep faith and hope
He ex was a psycho who destroyed her. It was more important he destroy her than let his daughters see their educated, smart, dedicated mother. This is one of the worst stories I have read of late.
I’ve read the court transcripts for this entire case the past week for hours a day. It’s just so amazing the DEPTH of the corruption happening with literally everyone working on the case in support of the monied person and hidden professional ties with one another. It was like reading a manuscript for a movie. Forensic Evaluators, therapists, judge, assigned attorney for children- all these people worked to kick her out of her house and render her homeless twice, remove parental rights and contact, hit her relentlessly with one TOP after the other in which Allan would email her wives employers and inform her boss which resulted in her getting fired (soon after the TOP was dismissed) were ALL dismissed and dropped, however, the damage was already done.
All the charges and TOPs these people made against Catherine - that ultimately ruined her life and render her jobless, homeless, and childless - were ALL eventually dropped when a new Judge was appointed. Everyone who was responsible for Catherine’s legal outcomes and later removed from case:
-the Judge: He has a “bias conflict of interest” and unethical clauses. Dr Abram, the forensic custody evaluator on Catherine’s case, was good friends with the judge who officiated DR Abrams wedding during Catherine’s case. Catherine accused him on bias and reported evidence citing “strong support for his recusal” which soon after Judge Lubell recused himself.
-Carol Most: Catherine went after the court-appointed attorney for the children, Ms Most, alleging unethical conduct. Most was removed from the case for misconduct, is now under investigation, and denied $113,000 of her $270,000 invoice for “services” on behalf of the children. She also hired an assistant to the DA to her firm in transaction to the ADA role supporting Allan’s case while withholding their relationship and thus cause for conflict of interest. Her associated was Dr Marc Abrams
-Dr Abrams: through Catherine’s efforts, Panel of Forensic Custody Evaluators removed Dr Allan due to gross misconduct, unethical practices, and inappropriate sexual questions and sexual harassment from prior custody interviewees. A woman who is suing Dr Allan for sexual harassment was being represented by Allan’s attorney , Gus, who said he’d her stop representing her case or sign detailed contract in things she’d have to agree upon as Dr Abram was critical support Gus used for Allan’s case.
-Most selected Dr Susan Adler and Carolyn McGuffog, both PsyDs, as the children’s new therapists at $600 and $450/hour, respectively. The therapists let Allan sit in on the sessions. Catherine sued Dr. Adler in Westchester County on the grounds of fraudulent inducement.
-Dr Alder :Catherine Kassenoff commenced a professional malpractice action against Dr. Susan Adler in the New York State. This was from Alders treatment of Catherine’s
Kids, failure to disclose
Long standing relationship with Ms Most and Marc Abrams, and plan to “reprogram” her kids
-Catherine Kassenoff commenced a professional malpractice action against Dr. Susan Adler in the New York State.
Catherine went from having a short amount of parental visitation with her kids, to “therapeutic supervision” of a psychiatrist (which cost Catherine $2,500 a week!) chosen by Allen to monitor 30 minute parent visitations with her kids over Zoom, to then eventually providing her with no contact (including via email or text) with the addition of one-mile restraining order from which Catherine had to be from the families house and children’s school. This resulted in her being homeless for a second time. She was given a 30 min notice
She is not the first. I hope things change , cameras and advocates in the courtroom please.
I’ve been there. Had the same experience… lies , corruption and incompetence all the way around the family court system! Switched lawyer’s multiple times, not by choice. Grimy , inconsistent, ethically bankrupt dss workers. It’s a heavy, heartbreaking situation. The whole system needs a renewal. Just as unfair as the prison system, or rehabilitation programs! It’s all shot.
It's in every single county they are all corrupt #iamcatherine
@@BreezybriefswithBrookeme too ..#iamcatherine
Having experienced similar; there is an understanding among people that courts always side with the moms. But they fail to see how many ab*sers and money seeking doctors have made a system where they profit financially from the dismantling of a family. False equivalency of parental alienation where a parent is actually being violent like we see here. So because of this prevalent misconceptions about family court; when things like this happen-people don’t believe or know what to do. It’s awful. Even banfield was like “it’s really hard to lose custody so she must of really done something “ how invalidating
One thing you are not telling your audience is that this woman had terminal cancer, her 4th or 5th time with it, and she was getting pit through this. She was even denied a chance to say goodbye to her children. So are you working for her ex? Seems like it.
thank you they did no homework. they interviewed the man who put the videos up for us all but didnt bother watcing them all and just happen to leave out her cancer and why she couldnt really fight him while he was acting that way smh.
She committed suicide cuz she couldn’t take the abuse anymore. Narcissists are really evil
Do you know what causes of her cancer its him a constant stress for women cause womens body to develop cancer
@@WildAntics13mainly genetics but ok
She was arrested, but it's irresponsible as a lawyer and journalist to omit the fact that all the charges were dropped until AFTER you've already questioned her character.
The ignorance in this is disgusting. The mother was filming because no one believed her, not because she was selfish. How's she supposed to stop an abuser who has control over the situation? The problem is willful ignorance, and it kills. The longer people remain ignorant, the more lives will be lost.
I feel like News nation could have done more investigative work prior to this story because she was not arrested. Allan tried to have her arrested but the police said she wasn’t doing anything wrong.
That happened once however another time he called the police on her, I arrested her outside of her apartment on her way to her car.
Women in abusive situations lose custody ALL THE TIME and are left with nothing. Abusers are good actors and have all the money. People need to look into narcissistic abuse. The information is out there. No excuses.
The media should know what they're talking about and cover stories responsibly before hopping on the wake of trending news for views, this was an embarrassing disaster.
I’m glad this is finally getting some media coverage!!!
That lady on the right. Really should should shut her mouth.
Katherine was a very good mother. THE NARCISSIST MADE UP LIES ON HER!
This poor woman!....I hope this makes a change....
I wish newsnation hadn’t clipped so many different snippets of this story. Please post the entire segment so we can follow it - it seems important. Thank you!
THAT’S JUST WHAT I THINK.
A 30 MINUTE PROGRAM WOULD BE SO MUCH BETTER THAN ALL THESE "PICKED OUT" SEGMENTS,
IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO GET ALL FACTS WITHOUT HAVING TO GO & WATCH IT ON ANOTHER CHANNEL.
I’D LIKE TO KNOW WHY THEY DO IT LIKE THEY DO.
Wow! So many others go thru this and it’s just so sad
Marc Geregos did you really just say that ? When was the last time you saw a family court judge follow the law on leveling the legal playing field. And Ashley is correct that Catherine was not a perfect parent but she did not deserve family court. It is the minors counsel corrupt therapist and minors counsel. And we have the documents. So how can the expert not find them
Jim Shirley in BATTLEMOUNTAIN nevada did this to me. Corrupt family court who handed children over to a documented abuser and ignored my abuse and texts and police reports.
I'm so sorry! 😢
So much left out and sugar coated here. This is why I hate journalism and don't watch news anymore.
Wow, all three are sugar coating the issue.
Rip Catherine Youssef Kassenoff, you will be missed
There is NEVER a financial balance!
Stop believing the narrative HE created … she was NOT arrested … He called Police and she was ‘questioned’ for simply watching the kids playing a Sports game.. He Laughed during this!! So stop repeating this LIE!! He CREATED this False NARRATIVE NEWSNATION … This Mother DIED to get her Truth out.. these Judges Assessors Lawyers are all close tight friends who stitched Her UP.. please have the decency and respect to acknowledge THAT at least ..
These guys are not coercive control experts.
This reporter never really fighting for women to doubt a victim with a clear video of evidence
Well it turns out that Catherine was herself abuse. She went through 18 attorneys and 6 nannies testified against HER. Read the lawsuit complaint
Well if the system would protect people from abusers in the first place, there would be no need for this kind of family court. Abusers should lose all rights to family and have to pay all court fees easy as that. Stop being easy on abusers. That's where it all starts.
I've watched the videos... clearly this "father and husband" was extremely abusive. Funny how this panel is trying to be moderate while Crowder was persecuted in the court of public opinion for a somewhat normal marital fight. JS.
Um I wouldn’t call Crowders case anything close to a ‘normal’ marital argument. It was straight abuse of a 9 months pregnant woman. He’s a sad, weak excuse of a man.
@@lostjohn ummm...you are making a judgement off of 1 fight
💜💜💜
Loosing custody after bringing up or believing your child in issues of abuse happens far too often ❤️🩹🥺
Yes it can happen it happened to me my children are all adults now we went through hell their father use the chords to Friend of Court Social Services with lies and they believe them he is now deceased thank God and we're all still picking up the pieces from what happened to my children
u people not going threw the story and videos b4 u posted this show was wrong. did u even know she didnt fight him back instead of recording because she had surgery for part of it and was suffering from terminal cancer smh. she recorded to show proof he is abusive. do ur homework before u judge for recording.
Battle of the perjuries is right!
Thank you guys for following this story
Sad and eventually those girls ate going to grow bitter and even feel guilt when they learn to understand the case and what actually happened other than whatever their father told them.
We need updates
...and herein lies the problem. Ashley, dear, read a book on coercive control and sociopaths, THEN do this story... SMH. It's no wonder this stuff goes on and on. Everyone is falling all over themselves to be fair to the person who is psychotic and abusive.
Mark Geragos is 100% spot on
Maybe catherine tried intervening for her children long b4 she picked 😂😂up a camera, she was left no choice but to show the TRUTH, how can Ashley say that, what would she do???
Ask Kyra Franchetti’s mom or Thomas Valva’s mom. Please do a deep dive. Please
They are not actually gone I know where to find them
WE ARE WATCHING!
Unfortunately I missed the broadcast but The Rob Harvey is saying you guys have official confirmation that she did go through with the assisted suicide. Is there somewhere online I can watch the whole episode?
She had terminal cancer and did it a couple of weeks ago, confirmed.
@@joan-lisa-smith who confirmed it? There's no official obituary that I can find. I know there's one, Ever Loved, but Ever Loved is a site where anyone can make an obituary without proof. A TH-camr named Truthy Mcgoo used it to make an obituary when he faked his death
How absolutely tragic! Saddest situation I've heard in a long time. Catherine allegedly committed suicide. 😢😢😢😢
Sad divorce makes people hate eachother. Instead them share custody and have a mediator it would not got this way. People need learn co parent. You fell in love one time but you change you have learn how to move on for kids.
JUSTICE SYSTEM SUCKS!! THOSE JUDGE N LAWYER WHO HELPED THAT PCOFSHT GUY ALLAN SHOULD ALL GO TO HELL!!! ALL SHE WANTS IS TO PROTECT HER KIDS.
GOD WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS... THESE BAD PEOPLE WILL GET THEIR KARMA... IN TIME.
My case was 16 mo long w my teenage granddaughter .. I not one time got to speak in court, submit ( absolute undeniable proof of the lies) evidence or say one single word. I went last Monday to close the case and they all went in the courtroom and closed the case without me then when my public pretender came out of the courtroom and saw me she said " what are you doing here?" Duh, I just hang out in court hallways smh . I was deliberately silenced because they wanted to leave that case open they can suck in the funding ps they put in court documents that I didn't appear!! I was there 30-40 mins early!!
Horrible
This is unbelievable. Tone deaf. None of you understand abuse, at all. Shame on you all. Abuse is about an imbalance of power. When abusers are worried about being exposed, they will do WHATEVER it takes with HOW EVER MUCH IT COSTS to take the victim down. What a disservice you have done with your platform. Are you really criticizing her for filming? What would you do if everything you said was minimized and brushed aside? Focusing on her reactions to abuse is exactly what abusers count on. Textbook. Anger and doing things you would not normally do (getting arrested) are normal REACTIONS to abuse. My heart honestly skipped a beat when I listened to this. We have a long way to go. Her legacy? You aren't equipped.
There is only one truth
Correct, and we only got 50% of the story
# iamcatherine
Who follows their husband around with a camera in his own home?!?!? I'd go crazy too. Catherine allegedly had several restraining orders against her and 4 judges who presided over the custody battles and the courts gave sole custody to the father while she was still alive. There's a reason women lose custody over their children. I dated a mentally ill person for over 10 years, they send you crazy, they break you! We saw Allen at his worst, broken and exhausted. I wish Allen and his kids well.
😂
If your hudsband is abusive you follow him with camera.... you wouldnt know till you actually in same situation. Easy for some fkng people to say, but its hard on the indivudual who is being abused.
You dont go around no matter how exhausted you are to call your sig other names, only ignorant self centerd, manipulative and abusive person does that. PERIOD
I have been a lawyer for 25 years and I will never set foot inside Family Court again. There were threats to my life and the opposing parent was mentally deranged. It’s not the courts, it’s the people, who are going through a traumatic event called divorce.
Same as saying "It's the guns that kill people, not the people". Of course, it's the people, but we expect a justice system (Not just a system) to be operating within these courts.
@@Kari-8xtqm you meant to say it people that kill people, not guns. The anecdote does not work here. Divorce and separation are traumatic events that bring out the worse in people. Most murders in the US stems from domestic issues. It’s the people!
This is so sad. #iamcatherine 😢😢😢
I'm sorry. 😢 Please don't give up.
lol men ruining things as always ☕️
These women say the feel for the mother? Who feels for the fathers . Nobody !
the court system.
In this particular case, the mother was the victim!
@@donnabowman9059 a victim of what?
Was she killed by someone else
I think she had issues hence why she lost custody. There's vids of him snapping at her and saying he hates her but its far from abuse, just a frustrated man stuck living in a house with a wife he'd grown to hate while the divorce is going on and him showing that frustration. She's one of these borderline personality types that claims all sorts of things are abuse in what I have seen so far, he's no saint, but she had issues.
