FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

We are contacting you on behalf of Parents United, a 503 nonprofit advocacy group, to request an immediate investigation into a massive criminal conspiracy involving West Virginia state actors. This is a case of Illegal Judicial Kidnapping—part of a pattern of over 100 documented criminal violations—where state officials have seized a nine-year-old Maryland child without legal authority, bypassing a total Maryland Exoneration of the Father.

THE CORE QUESTION: Why have the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of West Virginia (Martinsburg) and the West Virginia Supreme Court failed to act while Judge Catherine Delligatti and a “closed-loop sisterhood” of local officials act as a racketeering enterprise to overrule the U.S. Constitution?

Why this story demands coverage:

1. 1,180 Days of Stolen Childhood & Retaliatory Seizure: For more than one-third of this nine-year-old child’s entire life, Biju George Thomas—a paralyzed stroke survivor and former federal Executive with top-secret clearances—has been illegally separated from his daughter. In a clear retaliatory conspiracy, West Virginia officials executed a seizure exactly one week after the Mother was cited for criminal contempt in Maryland. The Father has been “digitally gagged” in hearings to prevent a defense of physical impossibility while his daughter is held hostage to shield a felon. By law, these trials are mandated to conclude within 30 days; yet, they have persisted for over 1,180 days.
2. Lethal History of Harm, Psychosis & Deception: The Mother, Allison Thomas, has a documented history of psychotic behavior that prevented her from working for seven years. In 2021, she abandoned the child at a stranger’s house during a mental episode. Her history includes harming the child on several occasions; she has referrals from two courts and the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Department for starvation, sexual abuse, and mental abuse—reports that West Virginia CPS refuses to investigate. In 700 days, they have not spent even five minutes investigating her. Her history also includes fleeing Maryland after a five-year-old student died in Hagerstown from an unreported fractured skull, a result of long-term abuse by the child’s mother, who was friends with Allison. Despite this, West Virginia officials have shielded her as a “sister” in the county employee network.
3. The “Three Kidnappings” & The April 19th Pattern: This child has been kidnapped three times: April 19, 2023; April 19, 2024 (exactly one year to the day); and the September 2024 “Judicial Kidnapping.” The West Virginia petition was only filed after the Mother faced a mandatory one-year prison sentence for her criminal conduct in Maryland.
4. The $1.45 Million Racketeering & Financial Fraud: This case has functioned as a financial extraction machine targeting a disabled victim. The state actors have facilitated a racketeering enterprise consisting of:

• $1.2 Million in “Trial by Exhaustion” legal fees forced upon a disabled victim with no income except disability, exhausting his entire life savings.
• $200,000 in fraudulent child support triggered by void, unauthorized orders.
• $50,000 in Social Security benefits illegally seized through federal data fraud.

1. A 738-Day Sham Investigation & Evidence Suppression: Berkeley County officials have conducted a sham investigation for over 738 days without ever initiating basic communication with the Father. They have refused to interview vital witnesses, including the child’s existing therapist, the doctors who performed the medical examination, and nearby witnesses in Harpers Ferry who observed the child’s final days with her Father. This refusal to investigate proves a predetermined agenda and open bigotry.
2. The Constitutional Violation: Authority to Overrule the Home State: By what authority does West Virginia believe it can overrule another state’s Federally and Constitutionally protected final determination? Maryland, as the Home State, issued a final “Unsubstantiated” finding and a binding “Best Interest” order. Under the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the U.S. Constitution and the PKPA (Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act), West Virginia is legally barred from relitigating these facts. Furthermore, a Berkeley County Family Court judge already dismissed this matter on May 15th, and on July 10th, Berkeley County’s own DOHS declared the child was safe. Yet, agencies chose to conceal this information and conspired to file a fraudulent petition only when the Mother faced contempt and felony abduction charges—crimes carrying mandatory jail time.
3. The Ringleader’s Conflict & Illegal Evidence: Judge Catherine Delligatti is presiding over a fraudulent petition supported by the only “evidence” the state possesses—records obtained illegally from Maryland in flagrant violation of federal law. This evidence was secured by the very Prosecutor’s Office Delligatti recently led as Head Prosecutor, which intentionally blocked the Mother’s kidnapping, sexual abuse, criminal, and fraud investigations. These records were seized out of context and utilized without authorization to manufacture a crisis, creating a “closed-loop” conflict of interest where Judge Delligatti’s husband is the Legal Director for Berkeley County and the Mother is a current County employee.
4. Federal NSANDS Bar to Investigation: Maryland’s “Safe” findings are officially codified in the National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System (NSANDS), the Federal System of Record for all child welfare case outcomes in the United States. As the definitive national database that tracks “Safe” and “Unsubstantiated” findings across all states, the existence of this finalized record in the Home State legally barred West Virginia from even initiating an investigation. West Virginia’s attempt to overwrite these federal records constitutes Federal Data Fraud.
5. Governor’s Lack of Confidence vs. Institutional Neglect: Because the Father was never notified of the secret investigation throughout the 738-day sham process, he was forced to turn to the executive branch for redress. In a sad state of affairs, the Governor of West Virginia has personally given more time to listening to the Father’s evidence than the DOHS, the Court, or the GAL (Guardian ad Litem) ever have. The Governor has seen the evidence the state refuses to touch—witnessing the physical toll on a paralyzed man who has literally fallen back while trying to navigate this corrupt process—and has expressed a profound lack of confidence in Judge Delligatti’s history. However, the Governor is constitutionally barred from overruling the judiciary.
6. Medical Battery & Ecological Transformation (Regression): Under the Mother’s care, the child has undergone a tragic ecological transformation, regressing to a “preborn” state of dependency. The child is no longer even performing basic self-care, such as bathing herself—a milestone she had mastered at age four. The state has committed Medical Battery by subjecting her to 13 forensic interrogations while illegally refusing the 42 court-mandated therapy sessions.

A PLEA FOR RESTORATION: BRING HER HOME

We beg for the immediate return of this child to the only home she has ever known. She is being held in a state of developmental agony, kept from her lifelong friends, her doting grandparents, and 3 new baby cousins she has yet to meet. To continue this illegal separation is an unimaginable insult to the “village” that raised her while the Mother was housebound by her own phobias and disorders.

MEDIA ACTION: QUESTIONS FOR THE U.S. ATTORNEY

We urge your investigative team to contact the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Martinsburg at (304) 267-5459 and ask:

1. “What is the Federal Government doing to protect this child’s constitutional rights and well-being against a state-sanctioned kidnapping?”
2. “By what legal authority is West Virginia allowed to override a final, constitutionally protected order from the State of Maryland?”
3. “Why is a $1.45 million financial fraud against a disabled former federal executive being allowed to persist in a closed-loop judicial system?”
