I am writing today on behalf of Sonja(aka shredded Society) and her daughter, who in 2001 had her daughter taken ito care, case processed by the State of Missouri, St Louis family courts.

The reason for writing to you is laid out below and I believe that a grave mishandling of this case has been made and that her daughter should be returned into her care and reunited as a family as soon as legally possible.

I have read through much of the information supplied by Sonja, who has become so concerned at this loss that she has been campaigning for several years to regain custody of her daughter, my hope is that the legal system realises it has made a mistake, as can happen and returns her daughter to her.

This case was heard by a Judge Melvyn Weissman of the St Louis Family Court, who terminated her parental rights, however that did not occur before a psychologist a Lisa Emmenagger seemingly misled the court into believing that there was no bond existent between her mother and her daughter. This must be an erronious statement as this could never happen. The statement is a blatant untruth and should never have been made let alone accepted. How on earth do you prove that in any court at any time.

There is in this also Firm evidence that the foster parents submitted a false "diary which was clearly made up and contained inaccurate statements to the court. This was wilful perjury and as such should be held in contempt of court. This diary should never have been submitted for Evidence. Also it remains applling that this child remains in a thoroughly abusive adoptive home, whilst the contemptuous State Of Missouri has truned a blind eye to severe emotional neglect of this child in favour of the continuing persecution of the mother.

It is totally unreasonable that any of this should have affected the custodial or parental rights of the mother, in any manner whatsoever as the mother remains completely innocent of any wrongdoing. It is my belief, therefore, at this time, that the Court itself did not act in an appropriate manner, instead it acted on a principle against the mother even though she was completely innocent and remains innocent of any wrong doing. The court not only perjured itself, but remains in contempt, the lies that have been told in this case have been preposterous and an insult to the name of the Law. Margaret Donnelly has much to answer for as she alone allowed this child to undergo tha dreadful abuse which has taken place in the Adoptive home in Bridgeton Missouri.

It also appears that a Margaret Donnelly who is Guardian Ad Litem also pushed for this adoption to take place, even though Sonja already had her other two children SAFE at home with her. This is rather mysterious as anyone who poses a threat to one child surely would also pose a threat to others. Since this absolutely not the case then where is the logic in the judgement. Certainly to any intent and purposes this leads to a conclusion that there has been an incredible and total miscarriage of justice.

What is also equally clear from the start is that Sonja De Vivo fully co-operated with the state in every aspect, during this whole process, therefore could not have done any more to preserve the love and emotion or do any more to demonstrate to the system the love and compassion which she has for her children. It is also observable that those who were involved in the case either did not take notice of this or simply did not want to take notice of this.

I also feel that there has been both elements of purjury and also a fundamental lack of investigation into the case as a whole, this led to the easiest possible outcome by the legal system being taken and this has led ultimately to this serious miscarriage of justice, affecting both the innocent party Sonja and her daughter who is also a victim, as she has been taken into the care system and ostensibly forcibly adopted, even when there was both a clear and apparant reason for not taking that action.

It is with this that I urge you to relook into the case, there is no doubt in my mind whatsoever that Sonja is a cabable and honest person who has at all times undertaken appropriate parenting with her children and there is also no doubt in my mind that she will continue to do so.

I am therefore writing on her behalf as a citizen of the United Kingdom who has become involved with Sonja because I have the sincerest belief that there has been a serious mistake made by the child protection system. This has resulted in a separation which to all intents and purposes could have been avoided by some simple common sense procedures. This has happened in our country, the case of Fran Lyon who was eventually cleared of all potential charges of being a threat after fleeing our country, therefore it is not to conclude that this type of miscarriage of justice could not happen in the US.

With this I also ask that the child be returned to her natural mother as soon as possible, given that the siblings are also in her care, this would enable them to rebuild their relationship and become a family once again. With that I will say this, there is no way any daughter could ever lose a bond that they have with their mother, children who are born into the most povertised area of our world are living examples of that.

I hope you take this matter into your consideration.

Thank you
