Letter from Jail 12-19-03
12-19-03

Please, help my children.
I have raised my two daughters since two days old till 6 ½ and 13 ½ years old, all without their mom.
We had so little in terms of material goods, but we were the happiest family in the world.
Both of my children were born and raised mostly in NY, PA and NJ.
We would wake up together. We would eat together. We would watch Pokemon together. We would listen to Mozart, Beethoven. Liszt, AC/DC, Boston, ABBA,…, together. We would walk hours together. We would watch sunsets together. We would exercise together. We would visit uncle Steve together. We would read together. We would play games together. We would study together. We would laugh together. We would cry together.
My life last 14 years was all about my children and nothing else. I provided very secure, healthy and happy environment for my children.

One day, in July of 2002, the mother of my children called me up and told us that she would provide us a place with all bills paid. Despite the fact that my children and relatives were against our coming to Sacramento, California, we did.
Within 24 hours of arrival, I saw my wife beating up the children. During the next few weeks, my daughter was molested by my ex-wife’s boyfriend, Val T. Hoang, I’d never met until weeks later.
My daughter’s, Wen’s protest led to her mom’s vicious attack, resulted in receiving bloody nose from her mom.
While Wen was calling 911 for help, the mom pulled the phone plug. However, the Sacramento Police had arrived to help and had the mom arrested.

When Sacramento Family Court was involved, things were turned around by the court employees and appointed people.
When my children and I complained about the creative report from the court mediator, Dana Sarmiento, things became very ugly.
When the judge appointed a child advocate, Judith K. Winn, for the children, the terror was increasing, ruining our loving family.
According to Bijili Abbey, Judith’s chosen supervisor for the supervised visitation between my ex-wife and Yih, Judith had the authority to do anything she wanted regarding my children.
To us, Judith K. Winn was a court appointed child abuser. That was what she precisely was. When my children told her that we did not like what the family court people were doing to us, which included herself, she yelled and screamed at the children.
Afterward, Judith told me my children were rude and out of control. She insisted that we were not to question her authority.
I thought that Judith was rude and out of control.

Judith arranged my ex-wife’s boyfriend, Val T. Hoang, to come to Wen’s college to stalk her.
(Wen was taking Calculus II and Computer Science at the college near home. Wen received the highest math placement test score ever, 60 out of 60, the perfect score, when she was 12.)
As results, my children were crying in HORROR, begging me to move. We were all scared and terrified.
Wen’s final exams were due in 4 weeks. Judith knew it and had to do something real quick to disturb it.
As for me, the safety of my children was always the first concern.
And it will always be that way for me for the rest of my life.

I had never had one violation of any sort in my entire life. Not even one traffic violation ticket. Not even one outstanding parking violation ticket.
Not even one late payment until 9-11-03, the day I was arrested for kidnapping my own children that I’d raised all by myself.
I am a proud law biding citizen.
I have done nothing wrong other than protecting my children. It cannot be against the law. It is my God given duty to protect my children the best I can.

My baby, my Yih was forced away from her home while crying and shaken in terror. That night, she was forced to a foster home in California where it was 3200 miles away from her home totally against her will. It was Judith’s wish.
The family court of Sacramento County supposedly gave the physical custody to my ex-wife who had abandoned and abused her. ( My ex-wife left Yih when she was few days old.)
However, knowing that the mom was violent and unstable, Yih was sent to a foster home. It was Judith’s wish.
For the first time in 75 days in jail, I met my Yih for 15 minutes in jail. She was no longer a happy nor playful girl that she was all her life until 9-11-03.
That 15 minutes is still haunting me. She was never like that before. NEVER! Not once in her life! I was not even allowed to give her a hug that she was so used to all her life. All we could do was sobbing.
My poor baby was never that sad. NEVER!

Wen fought her best to keep away from California.
In September, shortly after I was arrested, Wen was arrested and placed in jail by the request of Sacramento County Family Court. Wen fought so hard while I was in jail to keep her family together. Wen wanted to save her baby sister that she loved so much.
That Great Judge of Fairfax County , Virginia gave the custody to her aunt in NYC.
Now, the Sacramento County Family Court workers and my ex-wife are trying to bring Wen to the Sacramento County for her to be placed in a foster home in California against her will!

I have been incarcerated for 101 days. For those who have committed similar acts are not even charged with a crime.
According to Lesa Knox, the social worker, the only reason why Yih was forced to the foster home away from her home was because I was in jail.
She did not seem to remember why I was in jail to begin with!
Or how I got here!
BECAUSE the creatures of Sacramento County Family Court insisted that I kidnapped my own children I’d raised all by myself!

I am so sad for my children who are being punished by the Sacramento County Family Court workers unjustly.
I cannot understand the reckless behavior of the Sacramento County Family Court workers.
The Sacramento County Family Court wants more than the destruction of our family. It wants the complete destruction of my children.

Our children are the future of this great nation that I love with all my heart.
Every child must be protected and nurtured.
That child must be brought up in a family full of love, trust, care and loyalty. There you will find happy, healthy, and productive children.
It is the only way to insure the Freedom & Security of everyone of us in this great nation.

Please, help my children.
We must be together and stay together as we have always been until 9-11-03.
Few weeks ago, my children had their first Thanksgiving apart from each others. In few days, we will have our very first Christmas away from each others.
Those in Family Court of Sacramento County figured out that how much we loved each others as family.
Breaking us apart would be the worst punishment for us, they figured.
When I close my eyes to rest, my children always show up with ever so sad faces, crying for help.
Can you imagine 101 restless days and nights in jail worrying about your children? Could you think of more severe punishment toward a very loving, caring, and close family than this? According to the Sacramento County Family Court workers, we were not to question their authority nor credibility.

Please, help us by letting others know what has happened to our loving family.
In 1979, I join the US Air Force to protect our constitutions.
I wonder whatever has happened to our constitutional rights.

How do I protect my children?
They were used to safe, happy, and healthy environments for all their lives until 9-11-03, the day I was arrested and placed in jail for kidnapping my own children that I’d raised all by myself since birth!
How do we bring back our family as was before?
How can something like this happen?

Please, help us.
This terror must be stopped. This nightmare must end now.
Any help or donation to reunite our loving family will be deeply appreciated. Thank you very much.

This is the whole problem. There are no charges, except that he got fed up and took his kids back to the East Coast. The children's mother had problems, and that caused the introduction of the Social Workers.

I don't know if he's Korean, but I will pass this link on. Thank you so much!
