The Stand with Meg Show

👩‍⚕️ She spent her days saving other families' children. Family court still took hers.

I sit down with Dr. Adwoafuaa Nwokocha, Houston family medicine physician, first generation Ghanaian American, mother of five, and author of Custody MD: Fighting for the Woo. In her words: homeless with a newborn and a Northwestern degree, medical school as a single mom, then a custody battle where she describes a full year without her children, three nannies whose courtroom stories contradicted each other, and Physician of the Year won in the middle of the worst season of her life. We talk faith, rebuilding, the guilt of moving on, and what she tells every parent still in the fight: the system is banking on your shame keeping you silent.

Criminal trial attorney Shawn Lee lays five prescriptions on the table, a sedative hypnotic, an opioid, a benzo, an amphetamine, and an antidepressant, and reads the FDA's black box warnings out loud: warnings that apply even when a drug is prescribed, supervised, and taken exactly as directed. He walks through the FDA's warnings on substance-induced disorders, his theory of pseudo-addiction and how patients end up on medication cocktails, the Lindsay Clancy case, and the fraud half: negative drug test certificates for sale online, and why he argues a bought result filed in a virtual custody hearing could be evidence tampering and conspiracy to commit telehealth fraud. Plus the full law enforcement ladder for escalating a stalled fraud complaint, and Connecticut's child welfare telework audit.

Criminal attorney Shawn Lee walks Meg through the conviction of Ohio family court judge Leslie Ann Celebrezze, who pleaded guilty to felony tampering with records and got 60 days in jail, and the legal concept underneath it: willful ignorance and deliberate indifference. Plus a live walkie-talkie experiment that shows how court-ordered co-parenting apps turn a five minute miscommunication into a $120 bill, the real conspiracy statutes, and the DOJ's Ferguson report on courts that ran on revenue. Shawn's theory, not legal advice.

Handing a lawyer a false document that gets filed in court is a felony charge in criminal court. So why do families say the same conduct gets called "a civil issue" in family court?

In Episode 5 of The Shawn Lee Report, criminal trial attorney Shawn Lee walks through a real Kansas felony charge for exactly that conduct and explains why he argues the criminal code does not stop applying just because the filing happened in a family case. His framework, his analysis, taught at a kitchen-table level.

In this episode:
• A real Kansas felony charge: a false document, handed to a lawyer, filed in court
• Why Shawn argues "that's a civil issue" is the wrong answer to a criminal act
• The Martha Mitchell Effect: the 50-year-old playbook of calling a truthful witness crazy, and the 2022 Netflix documentary that named it
• Complaint versus indictment in plain English, walked through on a real federal indictment of a sitting judge
• The newspaper investigation that brought down a sitting Missouri attorney general when no prosecutor would touch him, and why the media is a front in the fight against corruption

Episode 6 premieres LIVE Sunday, August 23 at 4 PM CT with a public Q&A with Meg and Shawn right after the episode, inside the same broadcast. Subscribers on Facebook and Instagram get their questions answered first.

Is a court-ordered parenting app just an app? Shawn's argument: it is social media, with profiles, messaging, monitoring, and mandated costs, and once you call it what it is, the legal questions change completely.

In Episode 4 of The Shawn Lee Report, criminal trial attorney Shawn Lee walks through what is actually in the parenting app's terms of service, who profits from the professional contracts around these platforms, what the Meta lawsuits could mean as precedent, and why he reads mandated digital communication through the lens of "scheme or artifice to defraud." His framework, his analysis, taught at a kitchen-table level.

In this episode:
• The 'Scoundrel' experiment and the high cost of digital communication (0:00)
• Scheme and artifice to defraud, and why parenting portals are social media (2:58)
• Professional contracts, AI "high conflict" flags, and sponsorship conflicts (7:22)
• The new generation of lawyers and the Meta precedent (12:41)
• The 'Cash for Kids' analogy and auditing legal bills (19:45)
• Debtors' prison, due process, and the right to trial (28:21)
