BU received the  following letter about a week ago. After some verification we decided to share (unedited) with the BU family

I am asking for help from any one out there who can hear my cry a mother’s cry and pain and willing to help me and my kids. At the moment I am in the US however I am a Guyanese but I grew up in Barbados I have been a Barbadian citizen since 1988 my son and my daughter was born in Barbados. Like so many Barbadian I left Barbados six years ago and came to the US hoping for a better future for my kids as I was a single mother with three kids and no help from my family member. Five years ago I met someone and got married here in the us and have been lucky for a while I was able to travel back and forth to see my kids and have provide for them while I was away I called every day.

My husband had a car accident and needed to have back surgery in 2005 which left him permanently disable that was just the beginning of the bad news because of that it took us a long time to be able to file for the kids papers because of our financial situation however we have manage to do so a while back.

At the beginning when I left I had left my kids with my son grandparents I send money for them every month and barrels of food as well and anything else that they needed. Then I got a phone call from one of my sisters saying grandma and grand pa only wanted my money and the things I was sending and that she thought that grand pa was abusing my daughter, turns out that was a lie after she took my baby to the doctor and the doctor said the child had an infection which she could have picked up from the toilet at school.

My good for nothing sister decide to take my kids away from grandma and grandpa and say she will keep them I came to find out a few months later she only wanted the money I was sending since she had lost her job and need money she then physically and verbally abuse my kids stole money from my daughter and then told me I needed to come and get my f…..ing kids and wouldn’t let me talk to my kids on the phone.

Sure enough I was on the next plane back to Barbados.

I took my kids and did not speak to her for quite a long time, my husband was upset with me because I had left him and he had just have back surgery a few months later my mother was hospitalize I went to Guyana to see my mother and inform my sisters and brothers about my mother condition and they told me to take her back to Barbados with me I told them I couldn’t because of my financial situation they say don’t worry about it we will pay for everything once again I was screwed by my family god rest my mother soul I did the best I could for her with what little I had.

My sister however when I ask her to help me with our mom she told security at her restaurant to get these fucking people out of here I don’t have a mother my mother is dead this is what she said in front of my nine year old daughter and everyone else that was there.

Today I am back in the US and left my daughter with my eighteen year old son while I am waiting for all of our papers to come through here in the us and once again my family is striking out at me and my kids now they are trying to get the court to take my daughter away from me and the court is believing her lies and the police is not doing anything the child care board told her to return my daughter to my son on more than one occasion and she refuse to do so now I don’t even get to talk to my baby.

My sister however paid for her citizenship in Barbados, she have a son that was deported for selling drugs in school in Barbados, she have a another son that is a child molester that live in the same house that the court in Barbados send my nine year old baby to live, she run’s a restaurant in St. Lawrence gap that is not register with immigration, immigration does not know she is not living with the man she paid to married her and have illegal people working for her and this is who the court want to give my baby to.

My son is a very good and responsible young man he have a job dose not use drugs and have his own apartment I was blessed with three great kids and my sisters have always been jellous of me where is the justice.

What has happen to the legal system in Barbados? or does it only work for those with money. Please help me and my kids hope to hear from you soon my email is ,,,,,
