AFRICAN OFFICIAL IN MARIN COUNTY TO INVESTIGATE INJUSTICE Senegalese official has been deployed to investigate the concerns of a Senegal immigrant trapped by Marin County Family Court.
WHO- Oumar Kane, an attaché of the Senegal Consulate based in New York, Rama Diop, Senegalese immigrant based in Marin County
WHAT- Kane
has been deployed to investigate the problem Rama Diop is having in
getting permission from the Marin County Family Court to leave with her
four-year old son to go to New York, where the college graduate has
work awaiting and a strong network of family. Diop's story is one of
race and class struggle as the African immigrant faces the formidable
power of the White millionaire father of her child. Her pleas for help
have been lost in the broken system of Family Court and its lack of
professionalism. The Center for Judicial Excellence has been the only
source of moral support as Diop has traveled to Sacramento with the
group to bring lawmakers attention to the statewide travesty of
injustice that people like Diop say they have endured. Diop's Fact
Sheet is below. Here is a link to an article.

WHY-
As news of former President Bill Clinton has helped free the
journalists in North Korea, it is worth noting that it sometimes takes
the action of a foreign diplomat even in the land of the free and the
home of the brave to exact justice when our systems are broken. Rama
Diop is one face of thousands of people in California across the
nation, suffering injustice at the hands of the cash cow "Family
Court" system.
Find out why it takes a foreign diplomat to intervene to try to get
justice in America. Follow the money of "Family Court." Listen to the
stories of people as chronicled by the Center for Judicial Excellence.
Try putting your life's most difficult moments in bullet points as Rama
Diop has in the fact sheet below, inviting strangers to look into your
life in order to get justice. Investigate this story to help Diop and
others overcome grave injustices of "Family Court."

FACT SHEET Rama Diop-Struggling African Immigrant Mother with Son by Affluent White Marin Man, fights classic battle of race and class to protect her child
Father has a diagnosed bipolar disorder for over 15 years exacerbated by years of drug and alcohol abuse. Mother has been a domestic violence victim from father including rape, physical assault and battery. The
DA pressed no charge after a brief arrest. Father's additional
documented crimes in all impunity include forgery, false police
reports, trespassing, burglary, stalking, and petty theft. Father,
engages in uncharacteristic lewd sexual conducts due to his
hypersexuality that alarmed a psychological expert. Father advertises
himself as a male stripper on craigslist, engages in erotic and
pornographic gigs despite being a multimillionaire. The authorities
unlawfully converge to cover up for father's crimes and abuses. The
court continues to deny mother's (Temporary Restraining Order) TRO
requests. This is not surprising as even though the Women's needs
Assessment Report shows that domestic violence is a prominent issue in
Marin, the attorney general reports that Marin has the lowest TRO
issuance after hearing, which is even lower given that criminals get
TRO's
* 8/25/06 Mother files a police report against father's abuses with Mill Valley Police. * 9/15/06 The Mill Valley Police tips father to file a TRO to evict mother. *
9/21/06, Mother calls 911 but Mill Valley Police throws her out of the
house. Mother was oblivious at the time that father falsely accused
her of trying to kill him with a kitchen knife. *
9/26/06 Judge Lynn Duryee signs a Temporary Restraining Order that
allowed father to expel mother and her 16 months old son from the
family residence and restrain her from leaving California. At the time
father's attorney, Alexandra Quam worked for Judge Duryee's husband's
lawfirm Freitas. Judge Duryee only disqualified herself after this
unlawful act. * 10/05/06
Father confesses via e-mail that the knife claim was a lie and
confesses later in a letter that the Mill Valley Police told him to
obtain a TRO against mother. * The DA condoned this false report and perjury and did not press any charge. *
1/27/07 father burglarized mother's apt after leaving court angry that
the babysitter witnessed. An ERO and a TRO are issued. However, judge
Adams dismisses it without a hearing. *
2/08/08 the child complaints about sexual touching and fighting from
his father. Judge refuses to grant a TRO and orders to submit
application via ex-parte so father never had to respond. *
Pending trial, Commissioner Beverly Wood grants an overnight to father
over mother's objections and father proves her wrong through a binary
violation of the court's order to not take the child on the boat and to
not have overnights. *
Mother was forced to be in Pro Per for the first four days of her
custody trial while father's attorney was the co-chair of the Marin
County Bar Association Family Law Division. *
Judge Verna Adams found father mentally ill enough to not have a single
overnight but paradoxically she plans to award him full custody if
mother moves from Marin. Mother must obtain permission for any
overnight outside of Marin County. *
12/09/08 the child reports that his father fought him and gave him a
booboo after a visitation. Mill Valley Police takes a report and the
pediatrician makes cross-complaint to CPS after interviewing the child
who was adamant about how, where, and who perpetrated the injury. *
Subpoenaed CPS social worker brought county counsel and first refused
to testify before opting for either in chambers or closed court
testimony. Commissioner Wood ordered the in chambers interview
wherefore she illegally prevented any cross-examination. * Two subpoenaed officers came in with their captain and city counsel to obtain a gag order. *
Commissioner Wood denied the TRO and threatens to hold mother of
contempt after the child showed distress and vociferously and violently
resisted visitations. * Commissioner Wood refused a 170.6 challenge and holds the case hostage.
Notwithstanding
the failure of the system to protect the child, father uses the denial
of the TRO to seek full custody and five overnights. He has been
abusing ex-parte procedures and tax dollars along the way because he
heard the drumbeat "the abusers tend to get custody." Since father's
mental illness is too blatant, the court's subterfuge is to force
mother to remain in Marin where she faces a financial graveyard unless
father's multiple crimes in all impunity do her and the child in first.
The court, the police and the DA adopt a lethargic stance to prevent
and prosecute crimes against this African-American family. Mother, is a
Magna cum Laude graduate from NYU and the court staled her higher
education ambitions and interferes with her economic advantage. Mother
has job offers in New York while she lives in extreme poverty in
expensive Marin without a car to get around and barely enough money to
get by. Mother hopes that the public at large, the special interest
groups, and the legislative authorities will unveil the judicial
blunder. Judge Duryee started what Judge Adams finished yet they both
claim no wrongdoing in the court's website.
