The Issue

The Jacqueline Initiative for Judicial Accountability™️ Rebranded  on August 19, 2026.

Our Mission:

I created this petition as a mother, a women’s rights advocate, and a survivor of systemic judicial overreach. My family was targeted by an abusive legal system, resulting in the abduction of one of my children. I was then forced to defend myself and my other child against a malicious, meritless prosecution that was weaponized against me and deliberately filed under fake names to hide the truth. I am fighting to expose court-appointed abuse, stop forced guardianships, and demand real accountability for mothers and women targeted by corrupted systems.

Why I Rebranded to The Jacqueline Initiative™️:

I originally launched this grassroots movement on January 17, 2025, under my original birth name, Wendy’s Law. After we gained significant momentum, NYC Council Member Frank Morano introduced official city legislation using our exact petition name. To protect my independence, prevent public confusion, and ensure city politicians do not hijack my independent voice, I have officially rebranded.

The name "Jacqueline" honors my history of survival and resilience against institutional corruption. While politicians make speeches and take credit for grassroots ideas, everyday mothers like me are suffering the real-world consequences of legal fraud and malicious actions.

What I am Fighting For:

Protection from Malicious Prosecution & Identity Fraud: Eradicating the weaponization of the courts, including cases maliciously brought against women and children under fake names or hidden EDDS filings. (Electronic court document submissions that are hidden from public view).             

Mothers' and Women's Rights: Defending the fundamental rights of mothers to protect their children from unlawful legal abductions and systemic family separation. 

True Judicial Accountability: Establishing strict, independent oversight for prosecutors, court-appointed guardians, and judges to protect vulnerable women from coordinated institutional abuse.

Protection of Witness Rights & Confidentiality: Demanding strict, criminal accountability for state and county actors who violate Address Confidentiality Program (ACP) rules. I am fighting to end institutional retaliation and federal witness tampering used to silence survivors who speak out against court corruption.

Thank you to my 863 supporters. I am reclaiming my narrative, protecting my community, protecting my family, and pushing forward to 1,000 signatures. Please sign and share!  As mentioned in my recent update on here;

I am currently part of a class action lawsuit fighting for women's rights against these exact systemic abuses. You can read the official filings and follow the legal case updates here:

WENDY'S LAW HISTORICAL ARCHIVE (2025-2026)

Original Wendy's Law Bill Intent:

Wendy’s Law was drafted to close the loopholes that allow survivors to be revictimized by the system by prioritizing child safety over abusers' rights, preventing the misuse of DARVO tactics, and holding mandatory reporters accountable for negligence or bias. Read the original draft concept here: https://google.com’sLaw

The original comments below represent the foundational support for this movement when it operated under the original name, Wendy's Law:

Sharon Rabau commented 10 months ago

“I believe criminals and abusers have more rights and protections than do the victims and the abused. We need reform to our justice systems ACROSS THE BOARD, not just with Wendy's Law, but it is a good start.”
 
Kayla Knight commented 1 year ago

“We definitely need more support and protections in place for domestic violence victims and children.”
 
Caty Alderman commented 2 years ago

“I'm a mama bear who's been F@€¥£!  with for too long”
 
Courtney Gaudreau commented 2 years ago

“The voices of survivors are crucial. In order to genuinely encourage victims-survivors to move forward, society must first start with holding abusers accountable. When we unite and advocate for our rights, meaningful change will occur.”
 
Jeanette Turner commented 2years ago

“I am signing because the courts are acting to harm a safe parent, endorse the abusive parent, or to keep parents fighting to pad their pockets. I am no longer putting up with this crap.”
 
Wendy Drews commented 2 years ago

“I care about my life and about the lives of other survivors. The only way for truth, change, justice, and true peace to is to take actions. I am dedicated to make Wendy’s Law under NYS the role model for all other states to follow this lead. We are no longer victims.”

Support Wendy’s Law: Protect Survivors, Their Children, and Ensure Accountability for Systemic Failures

Description
Survivors of abuse and their children are being failed by a broken system. Too often, the very mechanisms meant to protect them, courts, agencies, and mandatory reporters, are weaponized against them through false accusations, malicious prosecution, and systemic biases. DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender) tactics are commonly used by abusers to manipulate the system, turning survivors into the accused while shielding the perpetrators.

My own experience is a tragic example of this failure. As a survivor, I have been maliciously prosecuted for nearly 2 years based on false accusations. Three mandatory reporters lied, and I lost custody of my child. I was denied legal counsel, retraumatized, and left with no recourse. I am not alone. Survivors and their children deserve better protections and accountability.

Wendy’s Law will:

Protect children and survivors by ensuring their safety and well-being are prioritized over abusers’ rights.
Prevent the misuse of the system by requiring accountability for false accusations, malicious prosecution, and DARVO tactics.
Guarantee survivors’ access to competent legal counsel and trauma-informed services, regardless of financial means.
Hold agencies, courts, and mandatory reporters accountable for negligence, bias, or misconduct in handling cases.
We demand that New York State lawmakers pass Wendy’s Law to close the loopholes that allow survivors to be revictimized by the system. Stand with us to ensure survivors and their children are truly protected and that abusers cannot manipulate the system to cause further harm.
