Upon realizing that the children of this country and abroad are severely
limited in legal representation, I decided to dedicate my legal career to
assisting in the improvement of the lives and welfare of children, whether
that is human rights, international adoption, or any matter that involves the
rights of a child
Children are our future and yet have little voice. Isn't it time that we as
responsible adults make children a priority?

What do I do?
My business is representing the interest of children.
I represent children (and sometimes the families that love them).
That includes adoptive parents seeking their way through the paperwork of international
adoption, a child seeking asylum within the U.S., or a child in the midst of youth or family
court.
A child deserves representation and children deserve to have their voices heard.
Here are some examples of why you may need my services:
1) If you are a planning to adopt internationally. You will need a professional to help protect
your interest and the interest of your soon to be child.
2) If you are a child involved in a court case. A child may be a victim in a case or charged in a
youth court matter.
3) If you have a case involving a child that is an immigration or human rights issue.
4) Of course the list is endless, so remember if a child is involved you can call my office.
Give me a call or email me, I normally return calls within 24 hours.

| LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Two Egyptian nationals who pleaded guilty to enslaving a 10-year-old Egyptian girl at their Southern California home, making her work long hours serving their family of seven, were sentenced on Monday to prison terms. Abdel Nasser Youssef Ibrahim, 57, was sentenced to three years in federal prison and his former wife, Amal Ahmed Ewisabd Motelib, 43, was given 22 months behind bars by a federal judge. Prosecutors said the pair will be deported after serving their sentences. U.S. District Judge James Selna also ordered the defendants to pay their victim more than $76,000 in restitution, which represents the money the girl should have been paid during the two years she worked for their family. "The young victim in this case was subject to inhumane conditions that included both physical and verbal abuse," U.S. Attorney Debra Yang said in a written statement. |
| October 22, 2006 Female genital mutilation in Atlanta It's not "unthinkable" in Khalid Adem's culture, and since it is justified by some Islamic religious authorities, you should expect to see more stories like this in the U.S. in the future. "Dad stands trial over daughter's mutilation," by Lateef Mungin in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, with thanks to Glenn: A father stands accused of the unthinkable: brutally cutting his daughter's genitals. The girl was only 2. Monday, activists from all over the world will be focused on a Gwinnett County courtroom as Khalid Adem, accused of cruelty to a child and aggravated battery for allegedly circumcising his daughter, goes on trial. Adem, 30, was charged with aggravated battery and cruelty to children more than three years ago and, if convicted, could face 40 years in prison. He was born in Ethiopia, where circumcision is a common procedure for young girls. Adem's trial may be a landmark case for health and human rights activists fighting against the African custom they call genital mutilation. But for those close to the victim, this trial is about vindication and healing for a little girl who was forced to endure unbearable pain. "When I saw that child I saw myself. I could see the pain in her eyes," said Soraya Mire, a filmmaker and activist who was circumcised when she was 13 in Somalia. Mire is known for her 1994 documentary "Fire Eyes" in which she chronicled her struggles after having the procedure. Mire, who now lives in Los Angeles, was asked by Gwinnett authorities to counsel the victim in 2003 when it was discovered that she had been circumcised. "She hugged me, and I just burst into tears," Mire said. "Since that day, I've been obsessed with finding out who did this to that child." Police say Adem circumcised his daughter with scissors in his Duluth apartment, while someone else held the girl's legs. Authorities said the circumcision occurred sometime in 2001 but the mother didn't discover it until two years later. The mother told police she learned about it while arguing with Adem about female circumcision. The mother told police that she told Adem she didn't want that to happen to their daughter, but Adem implied the circumcision had already occurred. The mother went to a doctor who confirmed that the girl had been circumcised. The girl then told Gwinnett authorities that her father had done it. He was arrested in March 2003. |

| CHILDREN'S BILL OF RIGHTS It's sad but true that children are not afforded the same rights that adults are granted. Often parents do not fully realize this until they are faced with the unpleasant situation of youth court or family court. There are various ideas for what a bill of rights for children should include. I have included mine here on this website, but here is a link to another one that I think is worth viewing and consideration. Children's Rights . All children should enjoy the following inalienable rights: 1. The right to be treated as an individual human being. 2. The right to be protected from abuse. 3. The right to be in a loving nuturing environment. 4. The right to the same LEGAL due process as an adult when charged with a crime. 5. The right to medical care. 6. The right to receive education. 7. The right to a continuing relationship with both parents. (Perhaps this should include not being placed in the middle during a divorce) |
