Mom Captured After 7 Years in Hiding

Being Held on $2 Million Bond

A Georgia mom was recently captured in Colorado.

She had been in hiding for over seven years with her son, who is now 14 years-old, and her new husband. She is sitting in Douglas County jail on a $2 million dollar bond.

This is another Before & After case, with a picture of a mother starting out happy and well-adjusted before entering Family Court—but ending up incarcerated with a mug shot afterwards. Last month we profiled a similar before and after case, coincidentally on the exact day that this mother was found and arrested.

This case has gotten a lot of national and international media attention. It was even featured on the Netflix series Unsolved Mysteries a few years ago.

But not one MSM outlet has mentioned the fact that this mother had gone into hiding to protect her child from the father—even though a minimal search would have shown he had been criminally charged with child molestation and aggravated sodomy of his son, i.e. child rape. He had been prohibited from contact with any child, including his son, for a lengthy period of time.

There is not even speculation that perhaps there was a reason she gave up everything to go into hiding. No, they are all portraying it as a “kidnapping” and are making her look like a vindictive ex-wife, a criminal, the villain of the story. There are a ton of comments denouncing her and congratulating the father.

In fact, Rabia is the true hero of this story and should be commended for her efforts to protect her son—for giving up a normal life and risking a long prison sentence—which she is now facing. Women’s Coalition News & Views seems to be the only media getting the truth out about her story, so please share, like and comment!

RABIA’S STORY

Rabia was born and raised in Georgia. She met her husband while they were in college in Alabama. They were married in 2010. She became an epidemiologist and her husband a pulmonologist. They had a son, Aziz, and moved to Louisiana where he did his residency and had family.

There were a lot of “fights” [DV?], and Rabia finally left him in 2014. She moved back to Georgia with Aziz to be near her family, who helped care for him while she worked. Her husband agreed to this, as he was hoping for a reconciliation after some time apart.

But that was not to be. Instead, just a year later, Rabia filed for divorce and was in a relationship with an old friend from college. This did not sit well with him, and he fought for custody of Aziz. Rabia went through three or four lawyers fighting to maintain custody and ended up going pro se, as happens with so many mothers failed by their attorneys.

In early 2016, Rabia filed for a Protective Order after Aziz disclosed that his father had been sexually abusing him. Children often disclose abuse after being away from their abuser, when they feel safe.

Police investigated and the Fulton County D.A. charged the father with 7 felony counts of child molestation and aggravated sodomy. A condition of his bail was that he was prohibited from being around any child under 16, including Aziz.

Rabia married her new love, Elliot. He has a doctorate in biomedical engineering and has done a post-doc with Harvard University. So both are high up in the academic world.

Elliot

The most important thing, though, was that Aziz was safe.

DISMISSAL OF CHARGES

Unfortunately, in October of 2017, a year and a half after the father was criminally charged with continuous child sexual abuse and rape of Aziz, the D.A. dropped the charges. This is not uncommon, especially when the victim is a young child.

This dismissal did not mean the sexual assaults did not occur, just that the D.A. did not think there was enough evidence to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. That is an incredibly high burden and it’s common for prosecutors to not want to take these cases to trial, especially when the father is upper middle class with money for skilled defense attorneys.

In Family Court, though, the burden of proof is much lower—just preponderance of evidence. Instead of needing about 95% certainty, it is only 51%. That is a huge difference.

Yet.

And yet. The male-entitling Family Court judge in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana didn’t waste any time in using the dismissal of criminal charges as a pretext to switch custody to the credibly accused molester father—without a trial. A mere month later, at a perfunctory hearing the father was granted “temporary” sole custody and Rabia was to be restricted to supervised visitation. The judge actually said that the “temporary” order would soon become permanent.

Rabia was ordered to hand over Aziz to his father at a hearing on November 28, 2017 in Atlanta. But she didn’t make it. She could not, would not, hand Aziz over for a childhood of sexual abuse.

Like so many mothers in this situation, she ran, and in doing so, gave up family and friends and everything she had worked so hard for. And Elliot went with her. She was so lucky to have him. Most moms in this situation are on their own.

Nothing is known yet about Rabia’s and Elliot’s journey into hiding, except that at some point, they ended up in Colorado. And sometime along the way, they had a child of their own.

The father got an arrest warrant issued for Rabia in Louisiana, despite the “abductions” occurring in Georgia, which is suspicious. He got the US Marshals involved in 2020. He also went public with the sob story of a vindictive ex kidnapping his son.

He put out lots of pictures of Aziz and Rabia asking the public for help. And he got Netflix to cover his side of the story in an Unsolved Mysteries episode.

THE CAPTURE

Apparently, Rabia and Elliot got involved in real estate sales, and a few weeks ago they were checking out a house on the market in Highland Ranch, 25 miles from where they were living in Aurora. The house was unoccupied so they took the liberty of looking around while Aziz and his little sibling waited in their van in the driveway.

The owner had a ring doorbell that alerted the owner. They were there without an appointment, so he called the police. After questioning, the police identified Rabia and Elliot as “wanted” criminals for the abduction of Aziz.

They were both arrested. The children were placed in protective custody and the father was alerted by law enforcement as to the “good news”. Sheriff Weekly tooted his horn loudly in a press conference for having discovered the wanted criminals. Never once a mention of the reason they were in hiding.

Both Rabia and Aziz were charged with second degree kidnapping, trespassing, forgery, and using false identities, and placed on a $1 million bond. Rabia was also charged with “fugitive from justice” which added an extra $1M to her bond.

NETFLIX KNEW

Netflix aired a two-part “Unsolved Mysteries” episode in which the first part involved a true kidnapping. The father had abducted the children to Egypt, and the loving mother, who had no accusations of abuse against her, had no way to get them back. It was truly devastating for her.

But this true abduction story led into the second half of the episode, Rabia’s story, which made for a false equivalency. They did their best to portray what she did as a true kidnapping. This was achieved by leaving out the fact that the father had been criminally charged with sexually abusing Aziz and she was trying to protect him.

And Netflix knew about it—because a document that was in the background of a quote they pulled from it and highlighted (supporting the father’s side of the story) was legible—barely. It was blurred and only on screen for a fraction of a second, so nobody would ever notice it.

Unless you were looking for it…

TAKEAWAYS

There is absolutely no legitimate reason for a loving mother like Rabia to have such a high bond. She has incontrovertible evidence of the father’s horrific abuse so should be free until a jury decides whether she maliciously took Aziz or had good cause. Besides, high bonds are supposed to be to keep dangerous criminals off the streets, not loving mothers.

But the powers-that-be keeping Rabia behind bars serves many purposes. It keeps her from mounting a stronger defense; from working and earning money; makes her look bad to the public; breaks down her will to get the truth out about the sexual abuse, etc. This is done in collusion with Family Court’s agenda to get Aziz under the control of his father. It is part of the agenda to punish, silence, intimidate, and disempower an ex-wife who is speaking out about abuse.

It is no accident that legacy media is not reporting objectively or accurately on Rabia’s case. The OBN [Old Boy Network] has great sway over MSM.

The Netflix segment is a good example of the deliberateness of the cover up by the media. They used the first segment of the real kidnapping to prime the audience to perceive Rabia as a true kidnapper; and they even had the document in hand that confirmed the horrific criminal charges against the father.

This ongoing cover up is obviously the Old Boys at work, helping to keep alive the “vindictive ex-wife” label in public discourse. This is one of the many false narratives discussed at our Sisters forum yesterday.

The main takeaway is that the Family Court judge did not hold a proper hearing before switching custody to the father. Judges get away with this by having a perfunctory hearing at which the custody switch is supposedly only temporary.

These pre-trial switches are supposed to be reserved for emergencies. Barring some sort of danger the children are in, there must be a trial in which parties are afforded due process. But Family Court judges can get around that pesky rule because, well, because they can do anything they want. That is how the system is designed. [See our last column: Creation of Rigged Family Courts: Facilitated Switching Custody to Fathers.]

Having said that, even when there is a trial, judges can and still do switch custody based on false findings (lies). But at least all the evidence will be on the record. That is what the Louisiana judge was obviously avoiding; but this move also, more importantly, serves to get the child under the father’s control before a trial.

The father can then threaten or brainwash the child into recanting or shutting up about the abuse. By the time the trial comes around the child has “forgotten” or recanted. It’s all part of the agenda to cover up and enable men’s control and abuse of their own children: a core patriarchal perk that the Old Boys continue to facilitate.

This tactic of switching custody to men without a proper hearing is #1 (a) in our Discrimination against Women in Family Court lawsuit. If you haven’t signed up for it, see below.

WHAT’S NEXT

Rabia has a review hearing on Friday, March 21st at 8:30 for the “fugitive from justice” charge. It is at Douglas County, CO Superior Court—Division 4. This is when it will be decided whether she will be extradited to Louisiana on the kidnapping charge. It is unclear why Louisiana issued the warrant when the abduction took place in Georgia, but this will likely give the father an advantage as it is his home turf.

Both Elliot and she face other charges. Trespassing is a misdemeanor. The providing of false ID to police should be a misdemeanor but they found some way to make it a felony, punishable by 12 to 18 months. Forgery is a class 5 felony punishable for 1 to 3 years in prison.

They are also being charged with second degree kidnapping in Colorado which is a class 4 felony punishable by 2 to 6 years. So they face over 10 years in prison—for protecting Aziz. A preliminary hearing for those charges is Monday, March 27th at 1:30.

That will be the first time Rabia and Elliot see each other since being arrested on February 23rd. And they will likely be in shackles and kept apart from each other. How awful. Hopefully they can give each other a loving look—knowing that they did everything they could to protect Aziz.

Hopefully their child will be released to family members, but Aziz may already have been forced back into the custody of his father. He will likely be subjected to “reunification therapy” where they will attempt to “coercively persuaded” (brainwash) him into “forgetting” the abuse, or at least putting it in the past and agreeing to live with his owner, oops, father.

Here is the information if anyone wants to contact Rabia in the Douglas County jail to give her support.

We will keep you updated. If anyone gets in touch with her, plz let us know at womenscoalitionintl@gmail.com.

CHAPTER 28 NEXT SECTION IS OUT!

In this section of Chapter 28, Legion gets to sneakily see her oldest son Zane every weekend for a month when he comes to Iowa for a visit, staying with her mother—but only because he did not give his grandmother Herry’s note directing her to keep him away from Legion. She is so pleased to have that little bit of time with one of her children. She has not seen or heard from the others.

Legion is busy pro se for the third Family Court trial, along with her multiple jobs. She is doing discovery, organizing witnesses, and filing all necessary documents timely and properly, including subpoenas. She is miffed that Herry’s shiesty attorney unscrupulously obtained her therapy records without giving her time to object to the subpoena.

And Legion has taken her first attorney’s advice: no men. She has had not one date, not even a rendezvous, since the separation for fear it will be used against her by the male judge. All along, she is well aware that men dating or remarrying, as Herry did, is never used against them.

In the last section of Chapter 28, Legion decides to go pro se, and realizes she does a much better job representing herself than either of her lawyers had—not that that would make any difference in the end. She is also beginning to fear that even if she gets all the truth to the court, including about Herry’s sex addiction and abuse, she may not get justice.

CHAPTER 28 of Mother-Fucking: The Saga of One Fucked Mother begins with Act III, Part 4 of “The Opera” from Book 3. The Opera has three Acts with five Parts—one for each of the three Family Court and two Appellate Court trials. Chapter 28 covers all of Act III: Part 4: the third Family Court trial and Part 5: the second Appellate trial. This is a long chapter and will be published in newsletter-sized bites.

Dr. Blue’s novel is based on her own experience of the Custody Crisis. It uniquely conveys how Family Court judges are “mother-fucking” women—a form of systemic oppression—as protagonist Legion is systematically and methodically deprived of her children and money and reduced to “one fucked mother”.

TEASERS

A letter to Mehitable from Herry detailed how she, my mother, was to prohibit all contact between Zane and his own mama. Zane whispered that he had not given it to her and that he was not going to. He never did.

So. I began. With my organization for the Big Issues, I began: i) witnesses, ii) exhibits and iii) necessary documents for the issues.

…Fifteen of them total then––the witnesses––and none of them, not a one of them a man with whom I was rendezvousing and trysting as a profligate caballero of any flavor in my life. Because there were none! Still. Still two trials later and initiating number three, I soooo took to heart Mr. Jazzy Jinx’s admonition: NO men! Not even the hinting, drifting waft of one! None whatsoever!
