Unmasking Judicial Bias: Protecting Children from Courtroom Harm—The Brian Poe Tragedy
As an activist devoted to ousting biased judges who inflict lasting damage on innocent children, I've spent years exposing how family courts can become arenas of injustice rather than sanctuaries. These judges, cloaked in authority, often prioritize personal prejudices over evidence, leaving kids as collateral damage in custody wars. The case of Brian Poe in Fayette County, Kentucky, is a heartbreaking blueprint of this failure—one where Judges Sheila Isaacs and Libby Messer's decisions have tormented Poe's children for over four years, all stemming from an unfounded 2021 accusation. By referencing Poe's ordeal, we see how judicial bias doesn't just sideline parents; it scars the young lives it's sworn to protect.
Poe's children, now 12 and 9, have endured unimaginable hardship since their mother's claim that Poe slapped the son over wet shoes. The accusation was clearly meant to prevent the children from reaching Poe, following his discovery of the therapy. Despite no evidence, no marks, and denials from all parties—including the kids—CPS ruled it "unfounded," and charges were dismissed in 2022. The therapist hired by the mother for the secret therapy sessions intended to alienate the children from Poe testified against her. Yet, Isaacs issued a Domestic Violence Order on a flimsy, unrelated video, speculating about Poe's character. Messer, taking over, dismissed these clearances, demanding Poe confess fault for access.
Judge Messer chastised and openly punished Poe by continually extending his time away from the children for not taking responsibility for his actions and threatened to remove his co-custody rights unless he changed, stating "if he doesn't change." She seemingly eventually accepted that the accusation may not have been true, stating, "I don't think it matters at this point." The result? Alienation that has robbed these children of a loving father, fostering emotional turmoil no child should face.
The kids' suffering is profound and multifaceted. Confined to supervised visits at an abuse facility—one hour per week, disrupted by their mother's non-compliance—they've missed holidays, family bonds, and normalcy. Barred from Poe's extended family, they've been isolated, amplifying feelings of abandonment. Judge Messer didn’t allow kids visits with the grandparents or other Poe family members for 4 years. Living conditions under their mother, an OnlyFans creator without a diploma, are dire: Sharing a floor mattress since 2019, racking up excessive school absences that jeopardize education and social development. Worse, they've undergone questionable medical interventions—unregulated Central American drugs, unnecessary procedures raising Munchausen-by-proxy alarms.
Therapists noted her coaching against Poe as harmful to the son's health, yet judges ignored it, allowing name changes without consent and even involvement in her subscriber content. Court records show that the mother used the children, as young as 5 and 7 at the time, to communicate via video and photos with the depraved OnlyFans customers to elicit gifts and money for their mom. This exposure to instability and potential exploitation has likely bred anxiety, confusion, and long-term psychological wounds.
By December 2025, limited home visits offer scant relief—two hours twice weekly, eroded by travel—but a relocation motion to Miami, which is intended to help the mother launch her OnlyFans career, threatens total severance. Messer's bias shines: Overlooking bank proofs, letting the ex keep Poe's assets, and charging him contempt for a prayer email. These actions exemplify how judges' anti-father leanings harm children, enabling alienation and neglect while punishing the innocent.
My commitment is clear: We must remove such judges through accountability measures like Judicial Conduct Commission complaints—already filed against Isaacs and Messer—and push for anti-bias training, evidence mandates, and swift enforcement. Poe's kids deserve restoration, not ruin. Join the crusade: Advocate, vote, expose. Biased benches break families; let's dismantle them for every child's sake.
