A woman was prosecuted in New Hampshire for false allegations against her ex husband and is now in prison doing serious time. She bought a cell phone in her ex husband's name and sent herself threatening text messages, from that phone, and then had him arrested for violating a protection order. She is already serving years in prison and now she is facing additional charges along with her mother, her boyfriend and her ex-husband's brother.
Falsifying evidence is not uncommon although in DE all you have to do is allege that someone violated a protection order, no evidence is required, so you don't have to bother to make any up.
Here is the heart warming story:

"Ruggiero faces 21 new charges"
Will we ever read a headline like that in Delaware? Doubtful. AG Biden and Patricia Dailey Lewis, who runs the Family Division of the DOJ, will not prosecute for false allegations of domestic abuse made in Family Court and have said that. While I am not aware of anyone in Beau Biden's office ever flat out saying that the DOJ doesn't prosecute people who make false police reports of domestic violence/criminal contempt of protection orders (PFA) I can tell you that they don't. That statement is supported by empirical evidence. Not since the Jim Crow era has there been such widespread abuse of the civil rights of one class of citizens by another class of citizens gone unaddressed by police and prosecutors.
One prosecution, in Delaware, like Ruggiero, would set an example that would reverberate down to the Family Court. False allegations and false police reports of domestic abuse would plummet if people saw that there could be serious negative consequences. Police and court resources could be saved for actual victims of actual crimes, taxpayer dollars could be saved not to mention innocent people and their children would be spared the adverse experience.
Making a false police report is a crime, a misdemeanor, in Delaware. Attorney General Biden took an oath to uphold the Constitution and the laws of the State. Apparently they do in New Hampshire.

Welcome to Worst in the First
"Worst in the First".
What's that mean? What's this blog about?
Well "the First" refers to the State of Delaware. The "First State" is one of a number of nicknames. It is derived from the fact that on December 7, 1787, Delaware was the first state to ratify the United States constitution. (Ironic that in the "worst of the First" constitutional rights are routinely ignored, trampled and subverted...but I'm getting ahead of myself)
Other nicknames are the Blue Hen State, the Diamond State, Small Wonder.
The "worst" refers to the Family Court System of the state.
Delaware is renowned for it's Chancery Court. The Chancery Court is primarily for business litigation and is internationally recognized as a model court. It is a court of equity.
The Family Court and the entire supporting system of the Delaware Family Court is a model also.....of everything wrong, everything inequitable, things that are hard to believe exist anywhere in the United States of America in the 21st century.
That is what this blog is about.
It's a blog to discuss the myriad deficiencies of the Family Court system. To bring the deficiencies to light and to discuss solutions to the issues.
