My name is Ibbaanika Bond and my son Noah Levi Bond was stolen from me by Megan and Stuart Taylor, please help.

Hello, my name is Ibbaanika Bond. This site is called Friends of Noah Levi Bond because my son Noah Levi Bond needs all of the friends he can get. Megan and Stuart Taylor are trying to illegally kidnap him through the Jackson County Family court, change his name to Jared Michael Taylor, and make it so that he never sees his family ever again and he never knows where he came from. This will do unspeakable harm to my son for his entire life. He needs to be protected, and the Jackson County Family court apparently is doing everything it can to work against his civil rights. My son Noah Levi Bond was stolen from me by Megan and Stuart Taylor and the world needs to know about what is happening for the sake of, both, our child and other families that are experiencing similar situations.

I was coerced into signing away my parental rights by illegal means and the father of my child Craig Lentz, never signed away his parental rights. He fought from the beginning to get his son back after Megan and Stuart Taylor got a temporary custody order through fraud in the Jackson County Family court. Craig's case went to the Supreme court of Missouri and he won unanimously. Since then, the Jackson County Family court has directly refused to obey the orders of the Supreme Court of Missouri. Video Footage of me talking to Michelle Obama and John McCain about this can be found directly to the right. After the Supreme Court overturned the Taylors adoption, saying that Craig Lentz had done all he needed to do to set up his paternity and that his son was not adoptable, the Jackson County Family court just ignored the findings of the Supreme Court and let the Taylors file for the same adoption again and then, after a year's worth of court hearings, terminated Craig Lentz's parental rights for the same reasons that the Supreme Court of Missouri already overturned. This is completely illegal. We cannot be a civilized society if our courts refuse to obey our laws, when our courts refuse to obey the law there is no hope for justice.

This court case is currently on appeal to the Supreme Court of Missouri for a second time, though Craig unanimously won the first time. This case should not have had to be appealed for a second time, the Jackson County Family court has no legal right to keep Noah Levi Bond from going home.

Since KSHB 41, the local NBC affiliate in Kansas City, aired an investigative story about this on May 8, 2008 many people have come to me with questions about how and why this happened. Hopefully this site can answer many of those questions. Please stand with me against this injustice and help us bring our son home.

UPDATE:

There is an update to our story. On January 27, 2009 the Missouri Western District Appeals Court found unanimously that our child could never be adopted. They reconfirmed the conclusion that the Supreme Court of Missouri had come to in January of 2007. We are incredibly grateful to God that this was the decision that was made.

Now we have to get a court date. The last time this was overturned, that was a problem. The Jackson County Family Court court refused to give us a court date for nine months. Another huge problem is that we don't know where our son is. Megan and Stuart Taylor--the people that have our son, have left the state and their lawyer Cheri Simpkins refuses to reveal where they are. This is illegal. They have not adopted our child and do not have the right to, as is reiterated in this last appellate court finding. Craig Lentz has the legal right to know where his son is at all times. We now have to get a judge to issue an order forcing them to reveal where they are and if they don't then the judge has to issue a warrant for their arrest and there would be an amber alert.

In addition we are being sent back to a court that has never followed the law. Every judgment they have ever made has been reversed by an appellate court. I have little hope that without media coverage (and maybe even with it) that they will be willing to follow the law now.

Noah Levi Bond has parents that love him, want him, and are completely capable of taking care of him. There is no reason whatsoever that he should not be reunited with his parents immediately, and indeed it is unconstitutional and illegal for this not to happen. We have asked you, our fellow citizens, to stand with us against the tyranny of the Jackson County Family Court, right this wrong and bring our son home now for four years. We are still asking you to stand with us. It is truly terrifying that in the United States today children are still considered property under the law and that a child who has parents that love him and want him may be unconstitutionally denied those parents. Our child does not deserve to be sacrificed on the altar of a corrupt court so that all of the adoption lawyers of this state and the lobbies that support them can have their way and steal more children from parents that love them. Please continue to stand with us, and our son. He must come home.
