Protective Mom Nashwa was found dead the day after Mother’s Day. It is unknown whether she committed suicide, as the cause of death has not been released. She had told a friend that she could not live in a world where she could not protect her boys, but other friends say she was not suicidal and would never have left her boys alone with their father.
The Women’s Coalition posted about Nashwa’s case last August [linked below]. Despite a tremendous amount of evidence that her ex was sexually abusing her 6 year-old twins, Judge Joan Ryon accused Nashwa of lying and coaching the boys, and gave sole custody to the father. The boys would cry on visits when they had to leave her, not understanding why they could not stay with their mother, who they wanted to live with. Nashwa’s case fits the pattern of thousands, perhaps millions around the world, where Family Court judges disregard evidence of abuse by fathers and falsely accuse mothers of lying. Women and children are suffering immensely as a result of this institutionalized entitling of men and discrimination against women.

Even with everything from medical records, to photographs, to videos, it was decided that it was not enough to take him to [military/criminal] court. Who would believe 2 little boys and a frantic and hysterical mom when the accused is a US war hero? No one. She couldn't even get a day in court. The details of this case is so disturbing and I had a hard time accepting that this is happening in the US. They depicted the mom as delusional and vindictive. That the mom, who a Harvard graduated anesthesiologist, was not reliable. That she was smart enough to brainwash her boys and that she coached them into saying what they did. Last fall the [family] court granted full custody of both boys to the father...even with the boys crying and saying that "daddy" hurts them. They allowed her visitation rights. And each time she saw them...they were thinner...they were wearing dirty clothes. She took pictures. I have heard this mom. I've heard her cry. I've heard her call my husband at all hours of the night, pleading with him to not stop fighting for them. This was the one case that kept him up night after night. The last time I heard her...months ago, I remember hearing her she say that she didn't want to live in a world where she couldn't protect her boys. Yesterday was Mother's Day. My husband texted her to wish her and to tell her that she is an amazing mother and to not give up. But she had lost all hope in our justice system...in humanity itself. We got word a few hours ago that she committed suicide. Like she said, she couldn't live in a world where she couldn't protect her boys. TWC NOTE: It is not because Nashwa's husband is a war hero that he got custody. This is happening to millions of women. It's because he is the father and there is an agenda to keep fathers empowered over women and children after separation or divorce."

Calling attention to abusive court orders involving family, women and children is impossible. You are put in a boxing ring, blind-folded, fighting against an opponent so much larger than you, with your children crawling around at your feet. You have no idea where the boundaries are and no idea when you or your children will get hurt again. Laura Ryan is one such abuser.

My ex who is a narcissist used our daughter like a game in court (everytime I’d take a loss in court he’d go home jumpin up and down sayin that he’s winning) his mother at the time had the funds for a real no good atty. After I put my self through nsg school, I no longer needed a court appointed atty, I hired the previous DA she is small but fierce and after repeated unsuccessful attempts of gainin full custody from he hitchhikin in a snow store towns away so he could get his methadone w her to abusin his mother in front of my dgtr, to her at the age of 8 bringin a crack pipe in her hello kitty purse to my house this same female judge kept sendin her right back to his house (I’m sorry, his mom’s) I even pd child support that he would use for HIS drugs ( and when I fought it in court that my dgtr wasn’t receiving anythin but he was gettin his drugs w my money that female judge would say I don’t care what he’s usin it for you owe him.. wth!!) my dgtr would cry so she could go pick the drugs up w him thinkin she could protect him if somethin happened....and when he would pull up to the drug dealer’s house he’d make her lay in the back of his Jeep Liberty and told her if she makes 1 sound the drug dealer would kill him.... this is all filed at the Beaver Courthouse... I was losin my mind. I only saw her every other wkd for 5 yrs then when we were so close to gettin her she called and said she played too rough w the cat and she started crying sayin the kids at school were tellin her she deserved it cause she must’ve been bein too rough w the cat..... 2 wks later and after excuses from he and his mom why I couldn’t get her I said I’m drivin down no need to meet me halfway (a court order that was seldom folllowed by him.... if I wanted her I had to come get her.) I picked her up at school which was an uppidy school and bc me bein the mother didn’t have custody I was treated like the dirt under their feet, I walked in and asked for her and they said they had to call the father 🤬 when I saw her all I could think was that’s not a cat scratch/ bite hmm maybe ringworm. Later, she came to me and said she can’t go back to his house I said baby we’re too close rn you will be w me soon.... and w big crocodile tears she looked to the floor and said the cat didn’t do this my father bit me...... and it was all bc she told him she told the attys and judge she wants to live w her mother and see her dad on wkds..... She sat on the couch and while he was seethin in her face just CHOMPED down..... it went thru the skin. His mother came home shortly after and looked at my dgtr and said, Stop taunting your father 😭... what 9/10 yr old uses that word?! I cried that’s all I could do. She then smiled at me and said but I put the triple abt on it like u always tell me when I get hurt 😭 I called my atty who said I had to take her back to his house and I said I’ll be sittin in the driveway waitin for him to mess up...... then a wise old man said go to the state troopers, I stopped by there and they said we can’t tell you to keep her BUT you gotta protect your dgtr and that told me everythin I needed to know!! I called her dad said I’d bring her in the morning for school. I had to remain calm or else it would’ve been an issue and he would’ve showed up and WW3 would’ve began. I took her in the mornin an hr and a half towards his house but I rerouted and went to the pediatrician’s office. The head dr was there and wrote Human Bite To Face (I’ll never forget seein those words) we soon found out the father and gma didn’t send her to school that mornin but went to the peds office and rehearsed all the way there what to say when the dr asks questions and since the man was obviously oblivious he wrote on his sheet cat scratch..... I didn’t see her for 2 wks after the initial bite and I thought it was ringworm I spoke to her friend’s mom who said it was horrible it looked like a cold sore got infected so she didn’t want to stare..... I stopped by the school said she won’t be back and the whole office treated me differently (umm who cares yinz saw a child w trauma to the face and didn’t blink.) I then went to the police dept, the guys who shoved me back and forth, ma’am U gotta go to the police station where he buys the drugs then that police station told me no u gotta go to where his residence is but let me bring this bite to light and I have everyone’s attention smh!! I even went to the area he bought the drugs at different times walkin right up to ppl w pics of him and my dgtr then the narcotic officer tried to help before all this but kept runnin into dead ends.... Heck the crack pipe I took to the police station that (female) judge said there wasn’t enough drugs in it for any type of conviction 🤬 So

Wait, so the kids are with the abusing father and mother commit suicide because she couldn't do anything to help her kids? The fact she commit suicide is pretty alarming itself.
