NORMAL, Ill., Dec. 16 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Amy Schneider, a mother of five, has spent over three years in Macon County Illinois' probate court trying to regain possession of her two oldest children, Kaela Elizabeth Sliney-Schneider and Joshua Matthew Sliney-Schneider, both Caucasian. Schneider lives in Normal, Illinois with her three younger black children, including eleven year old Hailey.
"Hailey and her two black siblings have been forbidden to see their own brother and sister," said Schneider. "Albert Webber, Rita Garman, Sue Myerscough, Mitchell Shick and others have conspired to subvert the Illinois Court System and maintain a racially motivated de-facto adoption in clear violation of constitutional law," says Schneider.
"It's hard for me to think that it is not their fault when they are mean to us on purpose," Hailey said. "My church teaches that I must pray for those who cast evil deeds against me. That seems really backwards to me but my parents say to trust God and he will keep my heart pure."
According to court records, Schneider is representing herself in both the United States and Illinois courts. "It has been hard for all of us," Hailey said. "I was especially sad at my little brother's seventh birthday this year. We had fun and we had a cake, but his one big wish was to have his brother Josh there with him on his special day."
"When I get sad about this, I look at a book that my black Grandmother gave me when I was three," says Hailey. "It's called 'Thank You, God.' My sad-time prayer reads, 'Dear God, Thank you for forgiving me my sins. Please help me to forgive other people too. In Jesus' name, Amen.' (Mark 11:25) It's not much but it makes me feel better."
Hailey said that she attended court with her mother two times this past summer. "Mr. Webber and Shick were mean to my mom in court but she didn't cry or get mad," she said. "After the first time at court I felt so bad that I began to cry after we got in the car. My mom stopped the car and said, Hailey, save it for when somebody dies or something. We both began laughing, and then we got ice-cream," Hailey smiled. "My sister Kaela is very pretty and nice and I love and miss her and my brother very much," she continued, "Merry Christmas and God Bless."
