Welcome to CrockettIV.com
This site exists because the family court system is broken—not just for me, but for countless parents and children who have been torn apart by a system that no longer serves justice. I am living proof of this injustice. My relationship with my child has been deliberately eroded through legal corruption, bias, and deception.
But this isn’t just my fight. It’s yours too.
CrockettIV.com is here to expose the truth. It’s here to show the lies, manipulation, and court-sanctioned alienation that countless parents suffer. It’s here to demand accountability for the lawyers, judges, and officials who abuse their power. It’s here to unite families who refuse to be silenced.
This is more than a website—it’s a movement.
If you have been wronged by the family court system, you are not alone. Share your story. Stand with us. Fight back.
Together, we will expose the corruption. Together, we will bring justice.

This page is dedicated to exposing the injustice of the false accusations and charges brought against Lauriston Crockett III during his time with his son, particularly in light of his determined efforts to protect him from child abuse.
A Message to
Lauriston "Logan" Crockett IV
This site is to document the custody issues surrounding this case and false accusations of Lauriston Crockett III.
As with every case, there are immediate concerns regarding the welfare of Lauriston IV. In our view, the lifestyle choices of Nikki Ngo and the unsettling actions of Rob Cottingham necessitate prompt intervention from the community to ensure access to other children is safeguarded.
Nikki and Rob both tried hard to falsely accuse Lauriston of child abuse to multiple police departments and hospitals. They all concluded it was a false allegation even with statements from Lauriston "Logan" IV that he was not hurt by his father and he loved him.
This was Nikki's response:
The following is based on her own words, contradictions, false allegations with no backing or evidence ever provided.
Police Report False Abuse Charges
Nikki filed an “emergency motion” to remove access between the child and the father based on no emergency condition at the time. No emergency Question 1 and Question 2

Stinky PeePee
Cottingham’s deposition consists of the same specific accusations of medical conditions and false events that Nikki’s deposition consists of.
Page 108:
Q. Now, just so we are clear -- apparently you do not like people who lie; is that right, sir?
A. That's correct.
Q. And you think that liars make a very poor parental example.
A. Yes.
Nikki and Rob took Lauriston IV to multiple police departments and hospitals to create false accusation of child abuse because in Nikki's own words:
Q Well, now, Ms. Ngo, that day, on April the
17 23rd, you were trying -- you were trying so hard on that date to document an abuse allegation against Mr. Crockett, weren't you?
A Yes.
Q Why did you want to document an abuse allegation against Mr. Crockett?
A Because it's something that I need to do.
Page 74-78: These pages cover the trip to the hospital and police stations to form a case against Lauriston III. Cottingham repeatedly claims 5 bruises and he has photos contradicting the medical exam and other documentation. Again, to this date no evidence of the 5 bruises have been produced. This also is another example of there was documented evidence, but they keep pushing a false narrative, and conveniently forget the reports and records when it suites them.
Page 19: Q. Now, have you obtained and read the entire file including all of the interviews with Logan from the Plano -- Medical City Plano and the police?
A. I have the file from Highland Park police and from the emergency room doctor that we received that evening.
Q. And you know from reading that that the child said to them he was injured playing hockey. He told them twice, didn't he?
A. I am not aware of that.
Page 20:
Q. And you can see the one where he says he was struck with a hockey puck. You haven't seen that, either?
A. No.
Page 20: ...there's one where he says he was struck by a hockey puck. It's in there? Okay. Yeah.
Q. Have you now read that, Mr. Cottingham?
A. I have never seen this before.
Q. My question was: Have you read it now?
A. I have read it now, uh-huh.
Q. And that report was available to you as you were the one who took the child there and made the report?
A. Uh-huh.
MS. HAYES: Is that a yes?
A. Yes.
Page 79: This section documents the false assertion of rage and anger by Lauriston III. This is now lockstep statements by, Cottingham, Nikki, Hayes, Ritzi etc… with no evidence, proven examples, witnesses other that the accusers and in contradiction to the violence test administer to Mr. Crockett, without his knowledge if it, scored the lowest rank of violence on the testing scale. This also coincides with the lie detector test that Crockett took covering the “Recovered memory”.
Page 79: Q. "Are you physically intimidated by the other party?"
MS. HAYES: Objection.
Q. And you said no.
MS. HAYES: Objection to form.
A. Physically I'm not. I think if I just got in a physical altercation with him I'm not afraid of the outcome of that.
Q. But has he ever attacked you physically?
A. No.
Q. And he's never pulled a gun on you?
A. No.
Q. He's never brandished a broken bottle or a club or anything like that at you?
A. No.
Q. You're not accusing him of drugs or alcohol?
A. No.
Changed from his earlier statements Page 126:
Q. -- indefinitely. You're Mr. Cottingham. You want to see Mr. Crockett supervised indefinitely?
A. Yes, that's correct.
Page 31-34: There is a now a constant continual sleeping in the Lauriston IV’s bed by Nikki, this has now happened for years, even backed up by current documented events. This also with no access to his son blamed on Lauriston III.
Claims he has an MBA Page 26: 1st statement, Page 55: 2nd statement, Page 134: published resume listing MBA, then blames the Page 135: “People in the office” told me to say that.
Page 18:
Q. Well -- and you were playing -- I believe your girlfriend said -- father/son hockey with him?
A. Yes, that's correct.
Page 19:
Q. And you enrolled him, Mr. Crockett's son, in father/son hockey with you; is that right?
A. Yes.
From 35-52: One allegation after another claiming he has the documentation or someone has the documentation on racist action, or homophobic statements. But strangely after accusations of homophobic statements, he then accuses Lauriston III of Page 40: being in a relationship with a married man Kevin Rachael. To this date they have not produced any documentation or examples of evidence supporting these false claims.
Page 95-97: Cottingham acknowledges that Lauriston IV stated he wants to live with Mr. Crockett. He also avoided when asked if Lauriston IV loves his father and attributed him wanting to live with his father because “It was mostly fun and games”. Except he then stated that he was “frequently reprimanded” and was in fear of his father but wants to only live with his father. So, he gets reprimanded and punished all the time therefore he wants to live there?
Page 125: Q. Do you acknowledge, Mr. Cottingham, that Lauriston Crockett IV loves his dad and wants to be with him?
A. I acknowledge he loves his dad.
Q. Well, you're the one that wrote the letter saying I just can't understand why he prefers -- and that was not that long ago -- prefers to be with her -- him instead of us.
Bottom of 140 to end: further asks for proof other than his statements on accusations toward Mr. Crockett and has not produced any evidence to date.
