Welcome to The Stand With Meg Show — where we defend parents’ rights, protect children, and give a voice to the voiceless.

Today, we're pulling back the curtain on a jaw-dropping federal lawsuit that’s shaking the pillars of local government. In Jackson v. Ziccarelli et al., one pro se father, a disabled combat veteran, takes on the entire Westmoreland County legal apparatus. Judges, DAs, police, lawyers, and agencies are all named in a civil RICO complaint alleging conspiracy, fraud, malicious prosecution, and the unlawful seizure of his children.

We break down the 50+ page filing and federal docket to unpack the chilling claim at its core: that the family court system itself has been weaponized against the very people it’s sworn to protect.

Is this just a custody dispute gone wrong or is it proof that justice has a price tag, and some are paying with their children?

This is a masterclass in lawfare, courage, and the cost of speaking truth to power. Grab your notebook. This isn’t just a podcast. It’s a blueprint for every parent fighting back.

Welcome to The Stand With Meg Show — Defending Parents’ Rights. Protecting Children. Giving a Voice to the Voiceless.

Today’s episode is a masterclass in grit, grief, and the guts it takes to face down the family court system. We unpack two seismic legal battles: the decades-long civil rights case of Deanna Fogerty and her daughter Presley Hardwick in California, and the ongoing digital-fueled federal litigation of Meg’s story rooted in Missouri and Kansas.

One is a war waged over twenty years for accountability. The other is a real-time campaign for visibility and systemic reform. What connects them? A mother’s unyielding love. What divides them? The legal playbook — and whether our courts still answer to the Constitution.

From hidden GPS trackers to 30-page judicial findings, from state courts to federal dockets, we follow the legal strategies, the outcomes, and the immunity shields that make justice so elusive for families like yours.

Because this isn’t just history — it’s a roadmap for parents who are still in the fire. And we’re here to say: you’re not crazy, you’re not alone, and you can fight back.

On this episode of The Stand With Meg Show, I pull back the curtain on the federal case Meghann R. Miller v. Kansas DCF — and the procedural battle threatening to silence a mother’s fight for justice.

You’ll hear two powerful segments:

• The Deep Dive — A clear, factual unpacking of the arguments I filed in federal court, including allegations of due process violations, retaliation for protected speech, and bureaucratic failures that prolonged my forced separation from my children.
• The Debate — A sharp legal clash over whether my 3-day late filing — caused by trauma and health issues directly tied to the very case I’m fighting — should be forgiven under the doctrine of excusable neglect.

This isn’t just about a missed deadline. It’s about whether the court will weigh strict rules over human rights, or finally hear the truth on its merits.

🎧 Listen now to understand why this case could set a precedent for every parent fighting for their children — especially those forced to do it alone.

I’m breaking down what happened when I missed a federal court deadline by 3 days — and why the stakes are so much bigger than just a date on a calendar.

💥 Hear how I turned trauma into evidence.
💥 Understand the legal battle I’m facing — solo.
💥 And ask yourself: If a state lawyer gets 2 weeks’ grace, why can’t a mother get 3 days?

📲 Listen now on The Stand With Meg Show — because justice shouldn't be denied over a technicality.
