Protect children in family court-Require Guardian ad litems to record all conversations

In Texas, as well as in most other states, Guardian ad Ltems (GALs) are persons appointed to represent the best interest of the child. They are allowed to conduct family interviews, speak to collateral witnesses, interview children alone, after which they formulate an opinion and write a subsequent report that they will share in court.
The report has a tremendous amount of weight. They are given unchecked power, kept in line only by their own moral compass if they have one.
They conduct their interviews with little to no oversight and or accountability.. There are NO
recordings or transcripts made of any of their conversations. This is especially damaging for children under 12 who cannot speak out in the court on their own behalf . Therefore, GALs are allowed to use what is catagorized as hearsay as their testimony regarding what children may or may not have said.
In my family's recent custody hearing, the guardian ad litem told numerous lies. However my kids, age 6 and 9, were not allowed to speak for themselves so the lies went unchallenged. . Instead of protecting the children, her testimony, biased both in methodology in gaining information and in her reporting, harmed them greatly. She twisted the truth, she used words and phrases that they would have never used, and she intentionally recommended the abusive other parent as her choice for primary parent.
Most importantly, she had an ethical duty to report guided by their best interests. She didn't not. Because there was no recording, no transcript,
and no witness, no one will ever know what was said. She twisted my words around and I was allowed to speak for myself of course when it was my turn to testify,
Because they have judicial immunity, it is difficult if not impossible to effectively reprimand or punish them if they do what they did to our family to someone else. The body to which you complain about them has no real recourse, and many of them who have complaints against them still are allowed to appointments. Rogue guardian ad litems and the damage that they do both alone, and with the help of unethical forensic psychologists etc,, are one of the single largest problems in family Court.
Divorce court is a web of losing money, and dealing with individuals who are not accountable for their actions.. It is a web of deceptive practices under illusions of protection for families and valuing children's rights. However, after 2 years of experiencing it from the inside out in Travis county, I can tell you it is far from a just syatem.
The the reports of people like the GAL in our case not only st
wasted
Thousands of dollars, but she stole judicial integrity, and took calculated advantage of children's trust, But mainly she stole time. The report she made not only took her year,
even though it was supposed to be about child safety, but her damaging testimony in court has further drawn out our custody battle. Her actions have stolen something from us that can never be repaid, that can never be replenished, and that will leave a deep scar in our family.
If she would have been required to record all conversations on a device that was monitored for any kind of alterations, she would not have been allowed or been able to get away with what she did. The children's words would have been protected. And her interviews of the collateral witnesses would have been cross referenced.
