Petition to Protect [Redacted] and keep her home with her mother where she belongs.

**To: Washington State Judges and Federal Authorities**

**Subject: Urgent Call for Action to Protect [Redacted] and Review Federal Kidnapping Charges Against Aaron Aung**

**Dear Esteemed Judges and Federal Authorities,**

We, the undersigned, are writing to urgently request your intervention to protect [Redacted] from further harm and to review the federal kidnapping charges against her father, Aaron Aung. The actions of Aaron have demonstrated a clear and present danger to[Redacted] well-being, as well as a blatant disregard for legal custody arrangements and the safety of his child.

**Aaron's Danger to [Redacted]**

- **Neglect and Dangerous Conditions:** When [Redacted]was recovered, she was found living in extremely hazardous conditions, exposed to high heat, and lacking basic necessities such as food, water, proper hygiene, and a safe place to sleep. Aaron's failure to provide for her fundamental needs forced them to live out of a car and seek assistance from a food bank. This neglect caused unnecessary suffering for [Redacted] subjecting her to conditions no child should ever endure.
  
- **Medical Neglect:** Upon rescue, [Redacted] had an untreated ear infection that required antibiotics, as well as other pre-existing medical conditions that Aaron failed to address. His neglect of [Redacted] medical needs throughout the kidnapping highlights his inability to care for her properly.

- **Verified Witness Account:** A verified witness reported the child’s neglected state and provided a statement to law enforcement, confirming that she was not being properly cared for while in Aaron's custody.

**Family Alienation Attempts:**

- **Deceptive Actions:** Aaron and his parents deliberately misled authorities with false information, claiming they had gone camping, which was intended to hinder the search efforts. This deception demonstrates a deliberate attempt to alienate [Redacted] from mother and obstruct justice.

- **Psychological Harm:** The trauma[Redacted]experienced during the abduction, including witnessing her father's arrest and being separated from her family, has had a profound psychological impact on her. Aaron's actions have caused significant emotional distress and instability in [Redacted]life.

**Call for Federal Review:**

- **Federal Kidnapping Charges:** Given the severity of Aaron's actions, including crossing international borders with[Redacted] under false pretenses, we urge federal authorities to thoroughly review and pursue federal kidnapping charges against Aaron. His conduct constitutes a violation of both state and federal laws designed to protect children from abduction and harm.

**Conclusion:**

We implore you to take immediate and decisive action to protect [Redacted] from further harm. Aaron Aung has demonstrated through his actions that he is a danger to his child, and his attempts at family alienation have caused significant emotional and psychological damage to Seraya. We respectfully request that you:

1. **Grant Sole Custody:** Ensure [Redacted]remains in the safe and loving custody of her mother by granting her sole legal and physical custody.
2. **Restrict Contact:** Impose strict visitation restrictions on Aaron, including supervised visits only, to prevent further harm [Redacted]
3. **Review Federal Charges:** Thoroughly review and pursue federal kidnapping charges against Aaron to hold him accountable for his actions.

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. Protecting [Redacted] safety and well-being is of paramount importance, and we trust that you will take the necessary steps to ensure her future security.

**Sincerely,**
