I'm a mother of a 9-month old. Every day, I am reminded of the need for safety and security for all children, as I experience the joy and responsibility of caring for my own. Unfortunately, not all mothers are afforded this privilege, and not all children are granted this right. There is a case involving an immigrant’s mother who is working illegally as a nanny in our country and has reportedly committed acts of child abuse. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) needs to look into this situation immediately.

It is essential to note, according to ChildHelp, a report of child abuse is made every ten seconds in the United States and more than 4.1 million child maltreatment referral reports were received in 2017. The prevalence of child abuse is a grave national concern and highlights the severity of the situation we are facing.

While we acknowledge that the USCIS has the critical mandate of processing millions of immigration applications every year, priority must be given to situations where the safety of children is at stake, especially when child abuse is involved. Child safety and welfare should always take precedence.

We are urging USCIS to investigate this particular case and ensure all laws, regulations, and child-protective measures are enforced. Allowing child abuse to go unchecked, especially in an illegal employment situation, undermines the values we hold dear in this country: protection and respect for children, as well as adherence to our laws.

The immigrant, Christina Liu, (Chinese name Sha Liu), has successfully helped her mother, Guitian Liu escaped back to China to avoid any criminal consequences. However, we believe that Christina Liu has conducted criminal by faking her identify as a client of her mother and recommended her mother to other moms who are looking for nannies. Christina Liu not only helped her mother to work illegally but also helped her mother, the criminal, left the country to avoid being arrested for child abuse.

Please sign this petition today to urge USCIS to take action against these horrific acts of child abuse and ensure our children's safety.
