Your client as do all parties legally have 20 days to vet a person.. Ms
Fenyes was submitted months ago. Your client is obstructing the orders of
the courts. Must I file charges?

Dear ACS,
 
No I have not. I have no friends and only former relatives, who do not speak English in China. I have been informed that this documentation to be effective should come through official channels back to the states where I can obtain it.

Could you guide me in how to go about this?
 
Thank You

Dear ACS,

 

below is the info provided in the link. I have CC’ed my congressman’s staff member and Mr Kerr former vice-council.

 

This correspondence began Jan 4, 2013. I am having difficulty in securing these documents. I do not know if it has to do with the type of visa under which I was in the country or other reasons.

 

Would you be so kind as to direct me to an official here in the states who can determine this and provide me with the needed info to resolve this? Luckily I live Brooklyn, NY as there maybe offices where I can appear in person.

 

Thank you.

Mark Sullivan

Police Records

Generally available, reliable. Persons should apply for a certificate of no criminal record at the local Public Security Bureau (PSB) (or certain types of employers such as state owned enterprises), then make application to the notary office for a certificate based on the PSB document. Persons without a criminal record will be able to obtain a certificate to that effect. Certificates for individuals with one or more criminal convictions will list all convictions for which records still exist. The certificates purport to reflect all criminal convictions during residence in China. Police records are generally not available for the period prior to 1949. Certificates are available for those in the J-1, Z, and X categories. The GOC does not issue police records for temporary residents of China in L or F visa categories.

Police records also are not available for those who were in China in diplomatic status including those working for international organizations such as the United Nations. Notarial police certificates are based in part upon records from an individual's employer. If an employer refuses to release records, the notarial office is not able to issue a certificate. This is the case for persons sent abroad for education by the Chinese Government who fail to return to China.

According to a 1957 state council ruling that is still in force, the imposition of a re-education through labor (Lao Dong Jiao Yu) term does not result from a criminal conviction. Administrative organs, rather than courts, impose re-education through labor. It is important to distinguish re-education through labor from labor reform (Lao Dong Gai Zao), which is a sentence meted out for criminal offenses.

Mr. Sullivan,

 

The American Citizen Services section in Guangzhou is in receipt of your email.  I am attaching to this email information on how to obtain a certificate of no criminal record.  Please see the instructions under “Police Records”.  The Consulate cannot directly assist you in applying for this certificate, but you should be able to obtain one if you have lived in China previously. 

 

http://travel.state.gov/visa/fees/fees_5455.html?cid=9015

 

You asked in your email about getting documentation regarding your child’s birth.  Have you applied for a Consular Report of Birth Abroad of a American Citizen?  You could also contact the hospital where you child was born regarding getting records about your child’s birth. 

 

Please let me know if we can be of additional assistance to you.

 

Best regards,

Chris Romans

I departed China and am no longer affiliated with the American Citizen Services section in Chengdu.  However, I noted that you included the GuangzhouACS@state.gov email address in your email to me.  I’m glad you did so – the Guangzhou ACS section should be your point of contact on this.  I expect they will likely get in touch with you.

Dear ACS and Vice Consul Mr Kerr;

I am writing to request and follow up, requests by my Congressman Michael Grimm, New York State.

7308 13th Avenue
Brooklyn, NY 11228
Phone: 718-630-5277
Fax: 718-630-5388

During the period of time from September of 2002 until my final departure with my than wife Ms Binong Xu and our biological daughter, (born in Shenzhen, China Oct 21, 2004) in August 2005 we resided at.

Address in Shenzhen, China

Shortly before our daughters birth we moved to an apartment kitty corner to the Shenzhen Peking University Hospital where Elizabeth was born on October, 21, 2004, the address I am unable to locate.

 

I had contacted the American citizen services on two occasions, once in November 2002 regarding the theft of property and again in August 2004 regarding my than wife and I troubles in moving from the above address.

All other contacts with the embassy were visa related and I requested a congressional inquiry into Ms Xu’s visa in the summer of 2004.

 

Congressman Richard Neil, contact person Mr William Powers

Springfield, MA 01105

(413) 785-0325

(413) 747-0604 fax

 

I am now requesting a “Background Check”  (I believe is the correct term) by the Shenzhen, China public security bureau. Mr Kerr if you could direct me to a specific person / department at the Guangdong Embassy that would handle this and as I would also like to email this request to the person /department best suited in the Chinese government directly as well.

 

Some allegations have been made which are impacting my relationship to my daughter over the last 6 years and are false. An official record of my time in residence in China by their government and by cover of the embassy should set the record straight in short order.

 

As you can see from my signature below I have significant photography from my time living in China and wish to maintain above board relations with all peoples in China as my career is now connected there, yet I do need this negative mark against my character completely and thoroughly addressed.

 

Also could you help me to secure an official birth report / certificate?

 

Elizabeth Mei Xu Sullivan, DOB October 21, 2004 Shenzhen, China

 

Biological mother Binong Xu DOB 3/04/1070

Biological father Mark Joseph Sullivan DOB 01/18/1956

 

Thank You in advance for your time and attention.

 

Sincerely,

 

Mark J. Sullivan

 

P.S.Mr Kerr we have in the past emailed regarding a verified threat of Elizabeth being abducted back to China, last year. I regret to inform you I have been unable to gain any court ordered protections in this matter despite intervention by the staff Attorney for the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the U.S. State Dept. Any suggestions?

New York, NY

Dear Sirs,

False allegations were leveled against me in Aug 2006, Brooklyn, NY with the 62nd prescient and the Family Court by Binong Xu, a Chinese citizen, former wife and mother of our biological daughter Elizabeth. In her sworn statements to both parties she said that while she was pregnant with our daughter I slammed her head against a wall and as a result I was arrested. Our daughter was conceived and born in China.

In Feb 2005, Binong Xu also made false claims of domestic assault to the Springfield, MA police, where upon I was arrested, arraigned the following day, where the case was dismissed. Binong Xu made no mention of the supposed arrest for assault in China.

In Aug 2008 during the protracted litigation begun in Aug 2006, I reviewed, in court, files from Massachusetts social services which stated I was found guilty of neglect to my daughter as a result of the Feb 2005 charges of domestic assault. This is the first time I became aware of such a ruling. Despite this supposed ruling just days after the dismissal, Feb 2005, I asked for family counseling when a woman visited us in my sister’s home and was told that we would be returning to China and there was no time.

In Dec 2005 Binong Xu absconded with our daughter. I had originally contacted police for missing persons and days later I was informed that they were safe in a woman’s shelter somewhere in Springfield, MA. I contacted the U.S. State Dept and the FBI prior to being informed of this by police. No charges were filed nor did the police question me.

A Ms Jackie Rappaport contacted me during this period, she worked for the Children’s Rights Council and was endeavoring to develop contact and supportative services.

In Sept 2006 I contacted the Administration for Children’s Services (ACS) in Brooklyn regarding Binong Xu once again absconding with our daughter. They completed their investigation in Jan / Feb 2007 finding neither parent neglectful yet in a face to face meeting the investigator claimed Binong Xu was fearful.

Whereas Massachusetts found me guilty of neglect based upon domestic assault (DV) which was dismissed, they let our child leave not only the states jurisdiction but the country. New York State investigated and found no neglect, yet found me guilty of DV.

At trial for these charges, Brooklyn Supreme Court, Binong Xu testified that no I was never arrested in China. The court appointed law guardian, Attorney H. Chacker of The Children’s law Center, took no steps to protect her client’s civil rights at that time nor throughout the proceedings and to this date. Attorney Checker suppressed evidence of the dismissal of charges in MA, preferring to engender the impression that there was Domestic Assault in MA and that there is/was an ongoing pattern of such behavior by me. The Children’s Law Center is a registered non-profit solely funded by the New York State Unified Court System.

Binong Xu’s Attorney Norejko from the Sanctuary for Families, at that time, nor since, took no actions nor made any statement upon the record, relating to Binong Xu’s revelation of her perjury, thus violating not only my civil rights but our daughters and violating both ethical and professional standards of Attorney conduct in the State of New York and at the Federal level. At that time and going forward it is my understanding that both Attorneys met the criteria of Title 18, U.S.C., Section 241 & 242, which violated my and my daughters federal civil rights.

Binong Xu has engaged in felony acts by repeatedly and in multiple jurisdictions, filing false criminal complaints, she has even eluded to international criminal behavior by me.

In March / April 2011 a creditable threat of international abduction by Binong Xu was reported to this FBI field office. In following up a case was opened at both the U.S. State Dept and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. I as Pro se filed two motions with the same court seeking standard protections as outlined in both State dept and NCMEC information. On the record at the first motion the law guardian, Attorney Chacker, stated both parents fit the profile of abducting parents and offered NO recommendations. Motion was denied. At the second motion hearing with a letter of affidavit from the staff Attorney of NCMEC, it was dismissed for lack of a cause of action. The Law Guardian offered no recommendations. To this date there are no protections in place to prevent my daughter from being removed from this country back to China, a Non-Hague Signatory Country. The above false allegations in this context can be used by Binong Xu as a Hague Convention defense in removing our daughter back to China, fleeing a domestic abuser, should there even prove a need to do so as China does not subscribe to the governing laws as set out by the Hague Convention treaty.

Furthermore I have had no contact with my daughter since late June 2012, with the exception of 1 hour in Oct, despite court orders. I do not know the whereabouts of my child, nor the school she attends or any state and federal mandated information. After working with some agencies connected with ACS, to enforce visits to no avail I contacted my daughters court appointed law Guardian in Feb 2013 requesting that she provide me with the names of 3 LCSW’s to provide visitation per the order of the courts. She did not responded. I next contacted the Director, Attorney Karen Simmons, of The Children’s Law Center, she did not respond. In the past I have filed complaints against both parties. In March 2013 a non-profit org contacted Attorney Chacker on my behalf offering a number of Child Psychologists and Social Workers to provide these court ordered visits, there has been no response.

Since last fall I have attempted to obtain a “No police record” from Shenzhen, China where I resided with my former wife, Binong Xu from Sept 2002 until our final departure in Aug 2005 to no avail. This document along with others would clearly establish the facts of this matter and prove beyond doubt the criminal behavior she and others have engaged in.

Last spring a motion to include our daughter under the than ongoing order of protection was filed shortly after I had spoken with my daughters Doctor, who reviewed the visit reports which the threat of abduction were based upon. This motion was withdrawn just days before the hearing date and I was subsequently arrested for violating this order of protection due to Binong Xu  receiving an automatic email invitation to join my linkedin network.

It is most egregious that over these many years the State Funded and Court appointed Attorney for my child has engaged in malfeasance, been derelict in her fiduciary duties to my child and by extension me by her violation of a minor child’s civil rights and misrepresentation of her client. This behavior has extended to and been sanctioned by the director of this non-profit Attorney Karen Simons.

As this case involves not only interstate jurisdiction in the commission of a crime, international components, official misconduct, civil rights violations, color of law violations, kidnapping, via custodial interference and certainly other violations which are unknown to me, I am requesting an investigation by your agency and others which are appropriate. I would also ask that our daughter be produced immediately and that regular contact begun which addresses the psychological damage heaped upon this child.

Sincerely,

Mark Sullivan

Subject: Mark Sullivan regarding Elizabeth Sullivan, per Duty Agent call
Date: Saturday, June 15, 2013 1:18 PM

Dear Duty Agent,

Attached are some relevant documents, regarding this case.

In speaking again with my sister Marilyn Sullivan Springfield, MA, she said she has had no phone contact with Elizabeth's mom or Elizabeth in close to a year and is unsure of when she has actually been in her presence. A few months ago she mentioned that our Aunt and mentioned not having heard from the mom or Elizabeth either.

The attached photos of Elizabeth are from March 2011 when I accompanied with Ms Nadine Mass, LCSW had a supervised visit in a public playground near Maiden Lane , NYC. You will note she and Ms. Ashley Young are the authors of the attached visit report.

My client is familiar with the NYCID facilities. She prefers to keep the visits there. If you have documentation indicating that they are unwilling or unable to take you back for more supervised visits, please provide it and I will advise my client accordingly.

Hello All,

Erin is the director of NYCID and as there were no more time slots available visits ended. In point of fact as the director, Erin did NOT actually supervise the visits. One of four different students, not certified social workers, actually did the visits and neither Elizabeth nor myself knew which student it would be week from week. Technically I question if this was in violation of the actual court orders as written since they were not certified.

During the last 57 weeks Elizabeth has only had contact with me her biological father for 1 hour, I am perplexed that the terms stability and continuity are somehow used in this communication as it does not apply.

Please clarify is it you Attorney Norejko or Ms Xu who are implying that I or Ms Hamilton are a threat or danger to Elizabeth?

I have located a certified MSW who is available and will put this in writing to do supervised visits. She has experience in this and I will let her present her professional background. The orders of the court have been met.

All please take the time to address those issue so that visits may commence this coming week.

Thank you for your help in this.

I have discussed this matter with Ms. Xu. She would prefer that the visits remain with Erin at NYCID since Elizabeth knows Erin and was very comfortable with her. She sees no reason to change the agreed-upon supervisor unless Erin is no longer available to supervise visits in the future. Stability and continuity of supervised visitation services as well as a known office location with the safety and security of facilities known to both Ms. Xu and Elizabeth are a priority for Ms. Xu.

Dear Attorneys, Chacker and Norejko,

Kathy Hamilton LCSW of Families Buildings Communities is available to supervise visits with my daughter Elizabeth.

As a pro se litigant in this matter I have attached the courts final orders in this matter and have CCed Ms Hamilton. At this time I would ask Ms Hamilton if she would be so kind as to submit her CV and other relevant information to you both.

Elizabeth’s last contact with me, her biological father was in Oct 2012 some 8 months ago. I direct your attention to:

“Consent to any certified social worker with prior experience conducting supervised visitation shall not be unreasonably with held.”

“If the father is able to identify a certified social worker meeting these qualifications who has stated in writing that be or she will accept the father's medical insurance and no free program is available, consent may be withheld only upon application to the court specifying the reasons that the supervisor in question is not suitable.”

I trust in your timely response to this.

Thank you in advance for your professional co-operation.

Sincerely,

Mark Sullivan
