Civil Rights vs. Civil Wrongs: Inside the RICO Case Rocking Pennsylvania’s Family Court

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.
