The Hero in My Child's Eyes
Donation protected
Have you looked into the eyes of a child pleading for his hero but unable to know why daddy is missing?
Just imagine two little boys kept from seeing their father except for a few hours per month - - what were they thinking when daddy did not show up as he normally would? What did their little minds tell them about why they couldn't get hugs from daddy, why they couldn't play together or be tucked in by him at night?
Next, envision that when they were allowed to be together for a few hours, they were watched. They were watched by one stranger who seemed nice, but they were also watched by another stranger - - and that strange man was wearing a gun on his hip. What did this say to these little boys about their daddy? When children are exposed to this kind of toxic stress and uncertainty, it does terrible things to their minds and their development. Their health is damaged. I'm asking you to talk with me about how we help them recover from these damages.
These two boys were deprived of their hero father, Ed Paladino of Alpharetta, Georgia, and they have been traumatized by what has been proven to be a series of unnecessary and abusive tactics used by lawyers to harm them and their parents during litigation. The records from this case show that there was no legitimate reason for putting the boys and their father through the supervision scenario. By pulling our community together to help them, we can help them heal and also send a message that we will not tolerate such abuse by professionals - those charged with helping families - any longer.
Will you join us in lifting up Ed and his children? Please give today!
When World Champion wrestler Ed Paladino was introduced to our community by an Atlanta publication, his case was brought to my attention and I started investigating. What I saw being done to this dad and children moved me into action! There is no excuse for undermining the hero in these children's lives - - there is no justification for stealing the smiles from their sweet faces. If you agree with me, please donate today!
Ed's situation is so bizarre and his case so important that I knew you would want to know more. You can read the article about his situation here . What I can tell you from my investigation thus far is that Ed is no ordinary father or athlete -- he is a superstar and he does not give up. It is clear that his story and how he overcomes this situation will help many others, so I am asking you to kick in what you can during this campaign.
Please give -- help us rally around Ed as he helps his children recover from the foul play seen in his divorce case.
As the judge in Atlanta said, family litigation gets rough, "but this was beyond the pale " In spite of two judges citing wrongdoing that harmed Ed in the divorce, there is still no relief and the financial burden is overwhelming. In spite of what the judges said was wrong about how Ed was treated, the family is still not out of the woods and needs our help. I am updating this page and revising my reports based on what I'm learning during the post-divorce litigation.
Navigating Justice is paying attention to their situation because the family is struggling, a problem I now understand even better as I've observed conduct in the courtroom and listened to the evidence. How the family has been treated is making it impossible for the children to have the best of both parents. The problem that can be overcome with our help is how Ed's family has been exploited by professionals who simply make more money by worsening conflict, prolonging litigation or avoiding resolution for them altogether.
What happened during the divorce case set this entire family up to fail for many years.
Instead of getting the best that both parents have to offer them, the children are not getting what they need based on what I am learning during the June 2021 trial. My point in asking for your help is that it does not have to be this way, not if we work together. If we do not look at what they have experienced and take action, the oppression and exploitation of children and loving parents will continue. Will you help us help them?
Why is this happening? The answer is that these boys and children like them are being used , meaning they are being controlled and abused by some of the professionals involved in divorce and child custody cases to extract as much money as possible from the family, but to the detriment of the children.
In some cases, children are deprived of fathers while in other cases it is their mothers who are being erased; either way, the children suffer - - and some do not survive.
I am Deborah Beacham, the voice for these children and parents. As the CEO of Navigating Justice in Atlanta, Georgia, I can show the proof that what is happening to these children is not only wrong, but that this disturbing exploitation can be disrupted. These children can and must be saved.
What happens if we do not intervene and help them?
Children torn from loving, safe parents and tormented while being kept apart from them have "Adverse Childhood Experiences," or "ACE's" as described by the CDC. In short, the trauma of these events can lead to mental health problems, addiction, failure in school and even suicide. I know this because I saw with my own step-son how his embattled parents were treated, what they did to each other, and how this prolonged stress and conflict led him to take his own life. He never recovered from what was done to him at a young age; he was put in a straight-jacket, he was sent away to various programs and schools & he was arrested multiple times, but it was never addressed that what took him down this path was the foul play, the abusive tactics used in litigation that kept him pulled and twisted between his parents. I did not understand it back then, in the early 1990's, the root cause of his trauma. I had no visibility to what the lawyers and the psychologist were doing to his parents, and I felt powerless to do anything other than to try to be there for him. Sadly, it was not enough. Later in life, I was able to view the court records and compare them to others where children were harmed . My step-son's case is not unique, as my work over the last ten years shows us.
But what we've learned from Christopher's fate and from these other cases gives us what we need to save the children who are before us right now.
I ask urgently for your help because we can change the course that these boys are on, and the same goes for their parents. Parents need intervention also, sometimes to save them from diving head first into misconduct they are led to believe will be tolerated by the court. Think about how it will help both the children and their parents if the professional conduct is appropriate, especially in protecting the children, going forward. Can you imagine the positive impact we can have?
We don't need to wait to see what happens and we cannot afford to just "hope for the best" while staying as far away from the conflict as possible. In the past, our willingness as a society to leave the problem to someone else has resulted in so many tragedies, including school shootings. Our response needs to be:
Right here, right now, these children.
This is where we show up and give them a chance to be healthy, for their families to be stable and to make sure parents at least have the opportunity to work together for the benefit of their children. The opportunity for these positive outcomes is out of reach at the moment, but only because the family is under the control of the types of court professionals who put profit over protection, meaning they benefit from the demise of the families they manage. If you need more data and specific examples of manipulative conduct to help understand the need for support, please contact me and we can spend time together.
This is worth your time and it is worth the investment. I can show you where other children like these boys have been spared - removed from danger and allowed to live with safe parents - because of this work, but I need you right now. Please do not wait?
It is going to take being able to spend money to bring awareness and to create transparency around how professionals treat these children. It is about much more than a parent being able to pay legal fees and for things like transcripts, so I invite you to join me in being a part of the solution for these children and parents.

Thank you for taking time to learn and for supporting this mission.
