Dr. Monahan Bought A Kidnapped Child And Won't Give Her Back

"I think you need to do some more reading. There is every reason to believe that the child in Missouri is NOT Loyda's missing daughter.".....This was in response to this post, concerning the black market purchase of a little girl from a shady Guatamalan human trafficking ring.

In 2008, a Missouri doctor named Timothy Monahan, and his wife, Jennifer, bought themselves a little girl in Guatamala from a group of black market thugs. This little girl, Anyeli Rodriguez, had been kidnapped from her biologiacl parents, and the police in Guatamala were looking for her everywhere. Her face was on missing persons posters all over her home country. Then, in 2010, little Anyeli was traced to the Monahans in Missouri, and DNA testing was carried out to confirm her identity. The child that the Monahans were in the process of whitewashing (she is Guatamalan) and calling "Karen", is, indeed, Anyeli. So the courts in Anyeli's country determined that this adoption was not legal, and that Anyeli must be returned to her natural parents. The only problem is........the Monahans are American, rich, and white, and have simply decided to ignore the court order from another country. Yep. Oh...they MUST be better parents......they are white Americans! They can naturally have anything they want, that money can buy; even other peoples' children. They also apparently bought themselves a court decision here in the United States that says they don't have to give the little girl back, because the Hague Convention did not have an agreement with Guatamala at the time Anyeli was kidnapped. That came two years later. And so they contend themselves to hold Anyeli hostage, lying to her about her own mother, while her own mother suffers. Trust me, Jennifer Monahan....it does not matter how much money your prisoner's true mother does or does not have; she loves Anyeli more than you ever will.

The comment also deals with reasons why Anyeli is not Loyda Rodriguez's child. Yet, no reasons are given. And the comment came from the same part of the country where Lisa Irwin disappeared, and where Anyeli is being held hostage by Dr. and Mrs. Monahan. It appears that a "finders keepers losers weepers" modicum has been applied in this case, leaving a tearful mother to pick up the pieces, advised by the good doctor and his wife to just forget about her baby! So I guess that's the biggest reason why Anyeli is not Loyda's baby, since the DNA states otherwise.

DNA matchups. Kidnapped kids. Finders keepers losers weepers. In an interview with the Monahans that took place in 2011 with CBS, after they ignored the court order and were declared in contempt of the court that ordered Anyeli back to her native country and to her parents, this is what Jennifer Monahan had to say to about DNA. Keep in mind, her husband is a doctor; they both know that DNA does not lie:

“We actually believe that DNA testing is a very important part of the process, but unfortunately in Guatemala, it’s the only part of the process that holds preeminence. And because they use property rights arguments to declare Karen, as we understand it, like DNA is sort of viewed as a title, and we strongly feel that Karen isn’t property … it’s very important that we know the whole truth, and not just DNA, and that that be done in a safe context.”

"They", to whom Jennifer refers are the Guatamalan government and court. And "They" have their own ways of wording their own laws, and governing their own citizens. That is not our affair. And Anyeli is one of "Them", not one of us. The Monahans' refusal to give Anyeli back not only robs her natural parents of the right to bring up their own child, but it sets the stage for Guatamala to respond in kind if and when a kidnapped American child is found in Guatamala. Does it sound like the good doctor and his wife care about that? No? Well......they are upper middle class white Americans with plenty of money. Why should they care about the safety of the rest of us? They have what they want; everyone else should just go away, especially Anyeli's natural mother. She played her part in the grand scheme of things......she had a beautiful baby girl, who got stolen from her and sold to the Monahans. It is no longer appropriate to say "adopted by the Monahans" because the Guatamalan court ruled that it was NOT an adoption. Since money exchanged hands, and the transaction was determined not to be an adoption, it is fair to say that Anyeli was bought.....by the very woman who "feels" that Anyeli isn't property. Oh! I keep forgetting; it's KAREN that isn't property. Anyeli, on the other hand, is a stolen, bought, and sold commodity.

Generally, DNA testing is done in a lab, in REALITY, not in a "context". Just what is Jennifer Monahan trying to say? She sounds very much to me like a woman who knows that what she is doing is very, very wrong, yet does not want to face it or admit it. This is one of the many faces of human trafficking, and Jennifer Monahan's latest novelty is a real mother's broken heart.

Open Letter To Dr. And Mrs. Timothy Monahan

Dr. Timothy Monahan and his wife, Jennifer, of Liberty, Missouri, went to Guatemala in 2008 and left that country with a kidnapped child. They did not kidnap the little girl, but they bought her from an organized crime ring that stole her from her mom, while she was taking groceries inside. They left the country as quickly as they could, despite the missing persons posters with little Anyeli's face. Later on, in Missouri, they denied that they had purchased a stolen child, but the DNA testing told a different story.

Dr. Monahan, why won't you just admit that you accidentally got involved with a bunch of dangerous thugs, and give Anyeli back to her mother? You may have noticed that I used the word "purchased" instead of "adopted" in the paragraph above. It was not a typo. You did NOT adopt Anyeli Rodriguez, and she is NOT your daughter. Adoptions happen when all parties are in agreement about the matter, and they go through the court legally, in all countries concerned. The identities of all parties are clear, no fake names, no phony birth certificates. This did not happen in the case of the missing child you brought back to America from Guatemala. What did happen was a kidnapping, followed by false imprisonment, followed by fraud, (falsified birth certificate) followed by abandonment, followed by the act of human trafficking in which you continue to engage. You may not have known what was happening at first, although if you are actually innocent, it seems as if you would have given the victim back to her parents, but now that you know, why do you continue to assert your illicit connection to the victim, albeit not initially your fault, over the legitimate connection of her birth mother? If you had done this in America, that child would be back with her family. Is a middle class Guatemalan mom really that much easier to impugn?

Ya know, Dr. Monahan, if Anyeli were my child, I would do whatever I had to do to bring her home. Your money, your big house, your housekeepers and receptionists.........all those things would not convince me that my child was better off with you. I don't think Anyeli's TRUE mother thinks so, either. Anyeli is simply not your child, that is all there is to it. Anyeli was the victim of a kidnapping, and she was found far away from her home, in a different country. Why do you think you have a right to keep her, now that she has been found? Did you purchase her fair and square, like a couch or a second hand car? Do you really think it's possible that you love Anyeli, even though her mother searched relentlessly for over five years to find her? What were you doing for those five years? Do you think you prayed as hard as Anyeli's family? I don't think it is possible that you experience love, because this situation has called for the reuniting of mother and child ever since you found out who she actually is, yet you resist. You are really a selfish pig, not a dad.

Suppose Kyron Horman, or Lisa Irwin were found? Suppose they were found living with families who have more money than their natural parents? Would those people, no matter how they got these kidnapped children, get to keep them, because they were rich enough to impugn the natural parents? Should it be okay for people with more money to just go out, and have kids stolen, from people with less money? Or would Kyron's parents demand him back, at once? But that's easy.........I have assumed that both children mentioned above are on American soil. Suppose a missing child from America is found in Guatemala? Should we tell the anxiety-ridden natural parents the same thing you are telling your prisoner's parents? Finders keepers, losers weepers? What if authorities in other countries are watching this, and think everyone in America is as creepy and evil as you? What if this sets some sort of a precedent, and other countries decide not to work with the United States in kidnapping cases anymore, because of you? Please give the little girl back.

I do not live too far away from you, Dr. and Mrs. Monahan. That brings me to another reason I really hope that you will do the right thing and let Anyeli's true parents have her back. This has caused a bit of an international fracus. The United States appears to be vested enough in human trafficking, during these dismal economic times, to look the other way while you keep a child who was kidnapped, but what if Anyeli's family decides not to look the other way? Suppose Loyda Rodriguez loves her child more than you can imagine loving anyone? Suppose Anyeli's family is not going to just give up? You obviously imagine that they have forgotten their daughter, but what if they haven't? Anyeli's own country wants her back, and; after all, you ARE holding  a Guatemalan citizen against her will. What if some sort of retaliation against you changes the area for all of us?  Can you see why many people, even if not vested in morals and love of children, would like to see you just do the right thing and give this kidnapping victim back to her Guatemalan family? I know you feel that you bought her fair and square, but human beings are not for sale.
