Family Court Failures Are Exposed
In New Investigative Series Fatal Court
The Center for Judicial Excellence has been honored to work with Gillian Friedman of the Deseret News on the ground-breaking, in-depth, investigative story, Fatal Court. Katie Tagle's harrowing journey to try to keep her son Wyatt alive in the face of biased judges in January 2010 launched our child homicide data-gathering efforts.
CJE's Executive Director Kathleen Russell worked closely with Ms. Friedman to explain the depth of the Courts' failures.
Stories like this are crucial to generating public awareness and bringing about system reforms. We thank Katie and all of the protective parents who spoke with Gillian about the failures of family law judges to protect their children.To read the 4,000-word article, click here. The Deseret News followed publication of this groundbreaking article with an opinion piece by their Editorial Board, reiterating the need to hold Family Courts' accountable for children's safety.

"We believe that if family courts across the country were held accountable for operating as they should, with child safety at the forefront of their decision-making, then many of these children would be alive today.”
Kathleen Russell, director, CJE
