Investigate Monroe County Removal of Mouna Omar Saleh Ali’s Children & Charges Against Amar Saleh
We, the undersigned, demand an immediate independent investigation into the circumstances surrounding the removal of Mouna Omar Saleh Ali and her children, Halimah Abdulla Kassim Saleh, Hafiz Abdulla Kassim Saleh, and Julie Abdulla Kassim Saleh, along with a full review of the criminal allegations and public narrative surrounding Amar Abdullah Quasim Saleh.
According to publicly shared family claims and available documentation, serious concerns have been raised regarding the actions of Monroe County Department of Human Services, CPS caseworker Haley Stickles, Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, Monroe County Family Court procedures, and publicly alleged involvement by Julie Goldberg.
These concerns include:
• Whether proper legal procedure, court filing, and due process were fully followed
• Whether Mouna Omar Saleh Ali fully understood the documents presented to her
• Whether lawful authority existed for the removal, placement, or relocation of the children
• Whether communication between Mouna Omar Saleh Ali, her children, and immediate family was improperly restricted
• Whether Amar Abdullah Quasim Saleh was responding to direct communication from his younger sibling out of genuine concern for family safety
• Whether the Amber Alert and kidnapping allegations fully reflected the complete circumstances
• Whether false, incomplete, or misleading public narratives caused severe reputational harm before all facts were reviewed
• Whether Mouna Omar Saleh Ali fully understood the documents presented to her
• Whether lawful authority existed for the removal, placement, or relocation of the children
• Whether communication between Mouna Omar Saleh Ali, her children, and immediate family was improperly restricted
• Whether Amar Abdullah Quasim Saleh was responding to direct communication from his younger sibling out of genuine concern for family safety
• Whether the Amber Alert and kidnapping allegations fully reflected the complete circumstances
• Whether false, incomplete, or misleading public narratives caused severe reputational harm before all facts were reviewed
We demand:
- Full verification of all petitions, warrants, filings, and court documentation
- Independent review of CPS, Monroe County DHS, Haley Stickles, Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, and Family Court procedures
- Clarification of the legal basis for child removal, placement, and restricted family contact
- Review of the basis for the Amber Alert and criminal allegations against Amar Abdullah Quasim Saleh
- Protection of the rights, safety, and emotional wellbeing of Mouna Omar Saleh Ali and her children
- Protection against false criminalization, reputational destruction, or misuse of authority without full due process
If all actions were lawful, transparency will confirm that.
If misconduct, procedural failure, or misrepresentation occurred, accountability is necessary.

This petition is not about obstructing law enforcement.
It is about truth, child safety, due process, lawful accountability, and protecting families from potential abuse of power.
Publicly documented reporting confirms that this case involved Monroe County Sheriff’s Office intervention, Child Protective Services involvement, a multi-jurisdictional law enforcement response, Family Court custody context, and conflicting public narratives that have raised serious concerns regarding due process, child welfare procedures, placement decisions, and the need for transparency and independent review.

These publicly available reports do not resolve every allegation, but they clearly establish that this matter involves significant public interest, multiple agencies, disputed narratives, and serious enough documented concerns to warrant transparency, accountability, and independent scrutiny. The purpose of this petition is to call for truth, procedural clarity, and a full review of all relevant actions taken by involved institutions and decision-makers.
Why is this important?
This case matters beyond one family because every parent, sibling, and child deserves protection from unlawful or unclear intervention, false public narratives, and potential misuse of authority.
When children are removed, families separated, or serious criminal allegations are made, the public must be able to trust that every action was lawful, transparent, and accountable.
If due process is ignored, if families are denied clarity, or if public narratives destroy reputations before facts are confirmed, it sets a dangerous precedent for every family.
This petition stands for:
• Child safety
• Family rights
• Due process
• Government accountability
• Protection from false criminalization
• Protection from reputational harm caused by incomplete or misleading public narratives
• Family rights
• Due process
• Government accountability
• Protection from false criminalization
• Protection from reputational harm caused by incomplete or misleading public narratives
Truth matters.
Transparency matters.
Families matter.
Justice must be rooted in facts, not confusion.

How it will be delivered
We will deliver this petition directly to Monroe County DHS, Family Court, Sheriff’s Office, oversight officials, media outlets, and advocacy groups through digital submission, public sharing, and direct outreach. Our goal is to ensure decision-makers, investigators, and the public review the facts, verify procedures, and provide transparency, accountability, and due process.
