Petition for Candace Parker to be disbarred for her illegal abuse against Amanda Acosta
The Issue
Candace Nicole Parker ( Harris ) illegally violated my HIPPA rights in January of 2024, during a prolonged domestic assault on me by her son Tre'Vien Xavier McGuire. On January 24, 2025 I was drugged, transported, and held against my will for 143 hours at SSM hospital, despite begging hospital staff to listen to me after I was away from Tre'Vien, and let me be heard. It is documented by both hospitals that I always denied any form of self harm, and that I vehemently expressed I was not suicidal.
Tre'Vien McGuire wrote an affidavit full of lies and had me institutionalized after I had survived hours of being assaulted while locked in his Aunt's basement. He stole my phone, overpowered me, and physically restrained me in said basement so that I could not call for help or flee. His Aunt was upstairs, heard the commotion in the basement, but failed to come stop the assault, or save or protect me.
When I gained consciousness more than 24 hours after I was drugged, I noticed that my body was littered with bruises that were not previously there, and that I was bleeding profusely from my genitals. It had completely soaked through the scrubs, and the hospital staff noticed and freaked out. The blood was nothing like a typical menstrual cycle. I know I was sexually assaulted while I was being transferred or by SSM hospital while I was unconscious due to them drugging me. During my stay I was verbally abused and constantly antagonized by the hospital staff, and the leading psychiatrists throughout the 143 hours they held me. They tried to force me to take more drugs, and I got in trouble and further abused for refusing. The psychiatrist laughed at me and told me he was going to keep me there as long as physically possible.
During my involuntary stay at SSM hospital, Candace Nicole Parker illegally violated my HIPPA rights. She made calls to SSM hospital and lied to staff members, stating that she was my lawyer. Candace was not my lawyer and did not notify me before she did this. This violation occurred without my knowledge or permission. Through this manipulation, she was able to illegally gain access to confidential documents.
During the 143 hours I was held against my will, my friends all over the country were searching for me. They were terrified that Tre'Vien had ended my life. Multiple friends called every hospital in the St. Louis area, trying to figure out where I was at, if I was alive, and why Tre'Vien had my phone but wouldn't answer any questions or tell them anything. One friend called and filed multiple police reports with the City of St. Louis, and repeated requested wellness checks. She provided the address I lived at to the police, and followed up multiple times, but no police presence was ever observed. Law enforcement did not do their job; nobody stopped by the house or came to save me.
I was so traumatized by this experience that I could not be in a public setting without experiencing great anxiety and panic attacks. In the years leading up to this, I typically worked two full time jobs. The previous month I was employee of the month at Amazon's STL8 Warehouse, during peak season. The week before I was institutionalized, I was informed by my manager that I was in Amazon's top 9% of employees company wide. I lost my job because of all the days I missed, and I have not been able to return to work since then. The only income that I've been able to generate since then has been through self employment.
After I was finally released, Tre'Vien McGuire and Candace Nicole Parker assured me that they were going to take care of my medical bills from this incident, but to this day they never have. SSM hospital is still trying to charge me. When I told Tre'Vien McGuire that I was planning on taking legal action against SSM hospital, and mentioned his mother illegally violating my HIPPA rights, he threatened my life and told me that if I spoke to anyone about this he would drive to my Grandparent's house and slit their throats.
I urge you to read the first pinned post on my instagram @ shmandy222. This was posted one week before they locked me in this hospital, and it clearly states that I was not suicidal. At the time of this assault, I was getting ready to release two music projects, and had plenty of plans and goals for my future. I was using my story to help others. One of my best friends in San Diego passed away in the ICU days before, and I had flown out there to help her mother clean out her apartment, before returning back to St. Louis for work. I missed her funeral and my niece's first birthday due to this unlawful hospitalization. Candace Parker has submitted this post as evidence in my current domestic violence case, and had the nerve to try and use this hospitalization as evidence that I deserved the abuse by Tre'Vien McGuire.
Coercive Control is terrifying, you are in a constant state of fight, flight, or fawn. It's not easy or simple to untangle your life from a dangerous man, especially when you don't have a family or a support system. The constant trauma and manipulation gave me Stockholm syndrome at times, and has greatly increased my CPTSD and anxiety. Along my healing journey, I have been collecting evidence and trying to find a safe way to leave without putting my life, my relatives lives, and my friends lives in danger. As someone who always stands up to injustice, I've known that I could not leave him out to harm or kill another girl, and he has refused to change or see the evil of his ways. Knowing that his family does not hold him accountable, and would not warn the next girl about the horrors he inflicted on me stopped me from leaving until I was ready to take legal actions against him.
On April 25th and 26th 2026 I was assaulted by Tre'Vien McGuire for over six hours outside on the streets of Tower Grove in St. Louis. I had rented a car, and was trying to safely move my belongings out. He stole my phone and glasses from me (broke my glasses) and repeatedly strangled me inside and outside of his vehicle. He force fed me food, sexually assaulted me, and punched me in both of my eyes. He repeatedly forced me to kiss him throughout the assault. He grabbed my leg, put a great deal of pressure on it, and told me he was going to snap it. He hit my wrist so hard, that it swelled and he thought he broke it. He drug me out of the car, pushed my face down into the asphalt, and drug my face on the asphalt, leaving a multiple inch long abrasion over my right eye that is still healing to this day. My elbow also was cut open and had a multiple inch long abrasion. He threatened to kill me by crashing the car multiple times, and then crashed it into a pole. I survived this brutal assault while having a concussion that he had given me earlier in April. Three police reports were made by eyewitness during this assault, and an onlooker captured a two minute long video where he nearly ended my life. However no police officer ever came to save me.
After hours of being assaulted, I calmed him down enough to get him to FaceTime his mother, Candace Parker. When she picked up, he immediately took the phone away and started talking to her. I pleaded "Candace I need help. Candace please help me. Candace please call the police," but was ignored. After a few minutes of pleading, she told him to give me the phone. I showed her my face and open bleeding wounds and told her "Candace I love your son so much, but he is so abusive to me." As I was finishing my sentence he charged at me, knocked me to the ground, and took the phone back. He admitted to Candace that he had chucked my phone somewhere earlier in the night, and that he had taken my glasses from me. Candace Parker instructed him to leave me alone on the street, in the middle of the south side with no phone no glasses. I couldn't even see enough to read the street signs, and my body was battered. Candace did nothing to help me, and left me to die.
After hours of walking I made it to Tre'Vien's Aunt's house, and begged her for help. I used her phone to call Candace Parker, who told me that she had told him to abandon me there. I wasn't even going to make a report, I just wanted to get my belongings and leave the state. His Aunt sent Candace pictures of the condition of my body as soon as I arrived. Candace continued my abuse, disrespected me, and played with my belongings for hours that day (To this day I have not gotten the majority back, and her family destroyed my tooth whitening kit knowing that is my only way to make income). She didn't have the human decency to say my name, and kept calling me "that girl." She and her husband, Mark Anthony Harris tried to bribe me with $10,000. I have two eyewitnesses ready to testify to this. After hours of manipulation and victim blaming, Candace Parker told me to call the police and make a report if I wanted my belongings back. She told me that I wasn't a real domestic violence victim, and that I should listen to her because she is. She bragged that she would bribe anyone she needed to in the system, and would make phone calls to pull favors in the event of Tre'Vien going to jail.
Now Candace Parker has continued my abuse through the St. Louis Courts. This is an obvious conflict of interest, and a gross misjustice. Despite being called on as a witness in this case, she has been allowed to defend him in court alongside his attorney Raphael Morris. She submitted a 14 page document to the courts attacking my character and my mental health, and perjured herself multiple times in said document ( I can prove this ). Tre'Vien was denied bond twice, and then the case was moved to a new judge. Right before the most recent bond hearing started, Judge Craig Kennedy Higgins said that he was friends with Tre'Vien's co-counsel, Raphael Odell Morris. Prosecution stopped me from reading the Victim's Impact Statement that I had prepared for the hearing. The judge refused to watch the video an eyewitness took of Tre'Vien strangling me and nearly ending my life. Tre'Vien was indicted by a Grand Jury and charged with five felonies, including an unclassified felony for sodomy. Somehow, Candace was able to get Tre'Vien out on a personal recognizance bond on June 25, 2026 despite his countless threats on my life.
Due to this, I have been forced to flee St. Louis and move into a safe house, while I seek legal representation and next steps. I was not provided any resources to make this move. The courts have tried to silence me, and told me not to speak on anything happening to me, but I refuse to be silenced. I was outraged to discover that they want to let him off with probation for the vile things he did to me. Prosecution has filed a motion to disqualify Candace Parker, and she filed a 15 page response on July 1st, 2026. The next hearing to disqualify Candace Parker will be on August 6, 2026.
My words cannot begin to describe the horrors this family has inflicted on me, and is continuing to put me through. This is anything but justice. I NEED my community behind me. Please sign my petition, and thank you so much for reading.
