Nicole McConn/Abuser of Power/Child Trafficker/Abuser
A memorial to the families who were kept apart—and the reality that the dead are together, while the living were denied their children.
This Christmas, Malaika and Xayah are not home.
They are not with their mother.
They are not with their grandparents.
They are not with their family, community, or culture.
They were removed from their family and taken out of the United States to the Dominican Republic while reunification remained part of their case.
That separation is geographic and cultural.
These are American children.
Their language, identity, extended family, and cultural grounding are here—within the Robinson–Lopez family.
Culture is not interchangeable.
Family is not transferable.
In court, while the children’s mother was present, Nicole McConn, a guardian ad litem supervisor, stated that the girls were “better off with their new family.”
Those words were spoken while the mother’s rights remained intact and while reunification efforts continued.
The decisions that led to this outcome involved Norma Olivares, Ronald Rivas Silverio, Nicole McConn, Lisa Haight, Nicole Montzingo-Avila, David Miller, Annel Navarro, Ashlee Purnell, Jesica Nicole Fellman, and Judge Alexander Calero/MONSTERS.
As a result, Malaika and Xayah are spending Christmas in the Dominican Republic, separated from their mother, their family, and the culture that defines who they are.
This family also remembers Amy Marie Brown — Malaika and Xayah’s grandmother—who died at 31 years old on Christmas morning, 2008, after her own involvement with Child Protective Services.
Her absence remains part of this family’s history.
This is not a holiday message.
It is a record of separation.
When guardians act as separators rather than protectors, and when reunification is displaced by replacement, families are fractured and children bear the cost.
The Robinson–Lopez family remains the children’s family.
Malaika and Xayah are not the children of Norma Olivares and Ronald Rivas Silverio.
They never were.
They never will be.
Family is not reassigned by convenience.
Culture is not transferred by authority.
Blood is not erased by paperwork.
This Christmas, these children should be home.
They are not.
