Greyson’s Choice was founded by Ali Kessler in memory of her sweet, vibrant, and fearless 4.5-year-old son, Greyson, who was murdered by his biological father in a murder-suicide during an unsupervised, court-approved visit in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, in 2021. This came just hours after her petition for a domestic violence injunction was denied by a Broward County judge, citing that the “petitioner has failed to allege any overt acts by the respondent which would constitute domestic violence under Florida Statute.” Ali’s advocacy efforts culminated in successfully passing Greyson’s Law during the 2023 legislative session. This bill now requires the court to consider threats against ex-partners or spouses when making child visitation and custody determinations in the court, expanding to include the following factors: evidence of domestic violence, whether a parent in the past or currently has reasonable cause to believe that they or a minor child is, or has been in imminent danger of becoming the victim of domestic/sexual violence by the other parent, even if no other legal action has been brought or is currently pending in court.

   Episode 53: Uncovering the Hidden Truths of Domestic Violence with Amanda Kippert of Domestic Shelters

   This is your go-to Podcast, where we help parents navigate the complexities of family life. Hosted by Ali Kessler of Greyson’s Choice, we’ll cover everything from understanding domestic violence to navigating the legal system, finding the right therapists, life hacks, family law, mental health, custody battles, and how to protect children in dangerous situations. On Grey Minds Think Alike, the host speaks with Amanda Kippert, editor-in-chief of domesticshelters.org, about domestic violence, survivor resources, and the gaps that leave women and children unsafe—especially in family court. Kippert explains how she entered this journalism work, why survivor stories are often minimized or disbelieved, and how abusers can hide behind public personas while manipulating courts and communities. They discuss police and custody-system barriers, post-separation abuse, misconceptions that abuse must be physical, and the importance of listening to gut instincts, documenting incidents, and educating children early about healthy relationships. Kippert highlights concerning trends like “hidden homicides” and parental reunification camps, and outlines how survivors can seek help safely through local advocates and domesticshelters.org tools, including safety planning and resource directories. Amanda Kippert is a representative of DomesticShelters.org, a leading online resource dedicated to helping survivors of domestic violence find safety, support, and critical information. With a background in journalism, Amanda brings a storytelling lens to her work—helping raise awareness, educate the public, and shed light on the realities of abuse that are often misunderstood or overlooked. Through DomesticShelters.org, she helps connect individuals with shelters, safety planning tools, and resources to support them in navigating and escaping dangerous situations. https://www.domesticshelters.org/ (https://www.domesticshelters.org/) https://www.domesticshelters.org/articles/in-the-news/why-didn-t-florida-courts-protect-this-4-year-old (https://www.domesticshelters.org/articles/in-the-news/why-didn-t-florida-courts-protect-this-4-year-old) https://www.amandakippert.com/portfolio (https://www.amandakippert.com/portfolio) About Ali Kessler: Ali Kessler is a writer, marketing professional, passionate parent advocate, and founder of Greyson’s Choice, a 501(c)(3) created to raise awareness about the risk of domestic abuse on children.
