Slam the Gavel welcomes back Joan Kloth-Zanard to the podcast. Joan was last on Season 4; Episodes 6, 52 and 72. Presently, Joan runs and manages a non-profit with over 50 chapters around the world. This 501 (c) (3) is an international non-profit organization for the Prevention, Intervention and Support of Survivors of abuse (www.pasintervention.com). Part of this work includes running online support groups for these SURVIVORS of ABUSE and in particular Psychological Abuse since 1998.     Joan has reached out to the ADA organizations nationally and their words to Joan was that it was an "EPIDEMIC." If you are disabled, THEY DON'T CARE. In cases where the person has ADA accommodations, the judge can/will decide they are incompetent and without an evidentiary hearing and violate the person's rights. They can be allowed to either fire their attorney and self represent, or put on to assist their attorney. This is a FIRST AMENDMENT CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT VIOLATION.     Joan has seen parents so traumatized and their PTSD, stress and anxiety being off the charts because it's their case and being treated horribly in the courts, being attacked from every direction and being yelled at. Most of these cases do not belong in a courtroom. There should be a mediation process.     The courts make an ADA Advocate register who they are in support of that individual. This is a private thing. ADA records are supposed to be sealed with the courts as well as the ADVOCATE. If there is a physical or mental health issue going on and they should be in therapy for all of this so we can have empathy for each other. We need to learn differently. Show the kids by example so they can learn what empathy is.To Reach Joan Kloth-Zanard:  [email protected]                                                                    [email protected] episode of Slam the Gavel is sponsored by CPSprotect Consulting Services.
