Let’s Talk About Your Guns

Leslie Hu was in a custody dispute with her ex-husband when he took his own life and that of their son, Pierce, in an act of gun violence. Tragically, her story highlights a growing crisis: filicide during custody battles, a lethal combination of conflict and firearm access. Leslie and family law attorney Monica Mazzei share their journey to create Pierce’s Pledge. Their movement encourages family law attorneys to require clients to remove guns from the home during disputes. One simple precaution—removing firearms from the home during emotionally charged times—can prevent tragedy. This episode is about creating safe spaces for children and families and using practical measures to save lives when tensions run high.
