How many times have we heard this before? American woman converts to Islam for her Muslim husband. Husband flees America, taking the kids back to Saudi Arabia. “My children are my life. I am reaching out for help. If there is anything you can do, advice you can offer, assistance you can give me, I would be eternally grateful.” —Jessica Socling
Sungazette (h/t Jennifer L) That is the plea of city resident Jessica Socling, whose husband, Majed Sayed, allegedly kidnapped their three young sons – Muhammad Sayed, 8; Ibrahim Sayed, 6; and Elyas Sayed, 4 – on Nov. 24 and took them to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in violation of a Lycoming County Court custody order prohibiting them from being removed from Pennsylvania.
“Majed left the country with the children during one of his regularly scheduled, unsupervised visits with them, using passports he obtained without anyone’s knowledge. He is now claiming he will keep them there,” Socling said in an emailed statement.
………………………….
The youngest child has severe developmental delays due to a congenital brain defect, according to Socling. “He needs constant therapy,” she said.
Sayed likely forged passports for himself and the children, according to Meghan Engelman Young, Socling’s attorney. Majed and the children’s official passports had been seized as part of the June 4, 2012, custody order, according to court documents.
“It’s my understanding the Saudi Embassy would have required Jessica’s signature on the documents. Jessica didn’t sign on the passports, so he would have had to have taken someone to impersonate her or forge the documents,” Young said. (But in Saudi Arabia, custody of children is automatically given to the father)
The couple separated in November 2012 and shared custody of the children, with Socling having primary physical custody, according to court documents. Although the children were dual citizens, Sayed was not permitted to remove them from the United States “until and unless an Islamic custody contract/parenting plan mirroring (the American custody order) is signed and registered with the court and minister of the interior of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” according to the custody order.
Sayed claimed he was in the process of obtaining such a plan, according to Young. “He did his best to do just enough to convince everybody – his own attorney, the courts and Jessica – that he was cooperating and fully intended to comply with U.S. law,” Young said.
Socling’s options for reuniting with her children are relatively limited, as there are no bilateral agreements in force between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia concerning international parental child abduction, according to the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Consular Affairs.
“The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia does not recognize divorce or custody determinations made in the American courts. There is no power here in the U.S. that would sway Saudi courts to return the children to me, as custody laws there state the father has full rights to do whatever he wants with his children,” Socling said.
Islamic law does not recognize American divorce or separation, making Sayed Socling’s legal guardian, according to Socling. If Socling were to travel Saudi Arabia to attempt to see her children, Sayed “(would have) full legal control over me (and) could even choose to never let me leave the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” Socling stated.
Although Sayed claimed to have obtained an irrevocable divorce under Islamic law, effective March 20, “we highly doubt he ever actually filed that irrevocable divorce and it’s really hard to get proof,” Young said. “At this point, we can’t really trust anything.”
Young received unconfirmed communication “that (Sayed) has informed the Saudi Embassy that Jessica and him have worked things out and that Jessica would be returning to the country as his wife. If that’s true, that would make us believe that he intends to keep her there,” Young said.
Socling cannot get an attorney in Saudi Arabia until she’s in Saudi Arabia, according to Young. “I thought we were working together to come to a satisfactory custody agreement that would keep both of us in our children’s lives and allow the children the freedom to move between their two countries without fear of detainment,” Socling said. (That’s the problem, you took a Muslim at his word. Silly girl)
Sayed, a Saudi national who had been studying at Shippensburg University on a green card, “has stated that he doesn’t want (the children) being raised in the United States (because) he did not believe that they would get a proper Muslim education here.”
County Judge Marc F. Lovecchio entered a Dec. 2 order directing Sayed to immediately return the children to the United States and granting Socling sole and full physical custody of the children. Lovecchio also approved a Dec. 2 request by Sayed’s lawyer, Heather Willis Lewis, to be withdrawn as his counsel.
According to Young, Federal Bureau of Investigation Agent Kyle Moore is handling the case but could not be reached for comment at press time. “The FBI is involved and would be the ones prosecuting (Sayed). The likelihood that charges will be filed is pretty high. If the children are returned, most or all of the prosecution would be stopped,” Young said.
Sayed’s only potentially illegal act under Islamic law is passport forgery, according to Young. “I’m not an expert in Islamic law by any means but it’s my understanding that, under Islamic law, the father gets the custody of the children, especially if they’re male, once they turn 7. All the children are male. Muhammad is under complete custody of dad, no questions asked, and Jessica’s chances of getting the younger two are probably slim to none,” Young said.

She dropped those 3 turds in shit hole arabia . They are NOT Americans.
Next time: do your homework before marrying a mozlim….
Everyone asks what was she thinking and I can give you the answer- she WASN’T thinking when she married the Saudi bastard. I have seen so many cases like this and unfortunately she will probably go on to the next “good Muslim husband” oops I meant green card seeker that her mosque will suggest until she is too old and worn out for Muslim men anymore and she is alone and without any kids. Of all the American Muslim women I knew in the early 1990’s all are now divorced except for 2. Bottom line- teach your girls to leave the Muslim men alone.
Just in- guilty verdict in the Lee Rigby case!
Chubee, that’s good. What do you think the sentence will be? 3 years?
Probably time served- although I heard that they are debating life with no parole so it will be after New Years before they are sentenced. In other good news Fox at least is mentioning that the perpetrators are Muslim converts.
Hope so.
They showed the defense lawyer tonight on Sun News, Canada.
Michael Coren’s show.
I think he is a Jew(denrat), and he was FUCKING CRYING, and going on about the verdict…saying how decent and nice these 2 fucks were!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT! — THE! — FUCK!!!
I cannot believe this world is quickly going collectively INSANE!
Sickening. I’m sure I’ll read about it in the Daily Mail.
BNI-B please replace the previous version with this one – adding your reply to this one – thanks!
Cat – Your Comment ….
“…Anybody who gives her (Jessica Socling) money is wasting their money.”
Absolutely 100% agree ….
There is a “possibility” this is a HUGE con and is how they had planned to pay for her ticket to join her family now in Saudi Arabia (with a little windfall)!
If I had donated – I would be considering every thing I could to have it cancelled..
The “Donate Web Site” gives the “opportunity” for anyone donating to keep donating for the rest of their life. The Donor has the opportunity to (Make it a monthly donation? – Yes! Donate each month) by placing a tick in the agree box!
(for Jessica Socling) just like receiving the Welfare payment.
Jessica Socling is STILL a muslim – muslims lie to non-muslims – they are COMMANDED to do so in the Qur’an.
Be aware charity flows ONE-WAY in the Islamic World – to them – NEVER does a muslim donate to a non-muslim! This is a perfect opportunity for muslims to come to one of their OWN’S assistance.
Guarantee 1000% (I do mean – one thousand percent) they DON’T.
Bonni – I was concerned – Good to see BNI back
No sympathy.
Good to see BNI back again, I was getting worried!
I am going to be blunt. My readers need to start helping me. It is getting more and more expensive to stay up and get up again after I am taken down. If every reader donated $1.00 on just one day, I could cover a years expenses.
Donation made! Worth every penny. I really should schedule a monthly amount.
Come on folks and kick in a few bucks.
I get my paycheque with my Christmas bonus next week, so my donation will be coming, just be a little delayed! (Christmas was expensive this year, unfortunately).
I urge everyone who mourned the loss of BNI’s blog, to chip in whatever they can manage. Bonni gives us so much valuable information, and a robust community for us all to share ideas, information, tactics, pick each other up when bad news hits, and celebrate when the rare good news flows in. We all know this blog is a gem and Bonni is one of a kind. Let’s all return the favour and help keep her shining on for years to come.
derK, please don’t donate if it is a hardship. You are still a student so I know your funds are limited. Seriously, if everyone who visits here on any particular day would donate $1 once or twice a year, I’d have more than enough to cover the costs.
It’s not a hardship, Bonni, I can assure you. My funds may be limited but they’re not so stretched that I can’t give a well-deserved donation (good thing I know how to budget my money unlike many university students today). Besides, you give us so much, in your time of need, it’s more than fair to give back for what really is a priceless site. You hardly ever ask much from us, so when you do, it’s imperative we all chip in.
We got your back, Bonni. 🙂
Thank you.
This is where I’m conflicted. On one hand I feel for the woman, on the other hand she did it to herself.
Then there’s the third possibility: this is a money grubbing hoax and the moslem couple are trying to con people out of money, this being the ‘season of giving’.
Boo me all you want, but if it ain’t been tried yet it it will be soon.
Sam, there are so many of these cases, I doubt that it’s a hoax.
BNI
I’m saying one of these times it’s going to be a reality is what I’m saying. Look how fast people have donated money to this and how much has been raised.
Besides, it’s the holidays, there are people predisposed to side with a poor women separated from her children and people on here hate islam and Saudi Arabia.
Plus muslims are dirty liars. For all we know the husband and wife (or just husband) could take the money or send it to Al Quaide.
As for this woman, I’m not accusing her by any means just because I pose the question.
She’s not perfect and just because she makes a mistake doesn’t mean she should pay for it.
But sometimes you do have too. It’s a tragedy, but one she took part in.
Hoax or not: she doesn’t deserve any giving… when are women going to realize that islam (and thus mozlims) are indeed a problem.
But then again: see how that libtard idiot lara logan reacted after being raped by mozlims…. she couldn’t even say or write the words islam or mozlims, blaming it to ‘men’….
Debbie has a good article on her!
She left him and he entreated her to come back..lucky she did not, he shot himself in the head and was planning to kill her when she entered the house.
A Happy ending then. that’s rare.
I was hacked. Please consider donating. These episodes are getting expensive.
silly cunt. degrading her gene pool with some inbred. And she wonder’s why one of her kids has developmental problems. I knew a girl who wanted to go to morroce to her mudslim boyfreind once – don’t know what came about it. The funny thing is the more i warned her the more she excused him. ‘Oh, he’s not like that.” sure,sure.
She is a tard. Who cares about her?
you are wearing a tablecloth on you head, a convert and your kids are 100% muslims and you got the nerve to ask for help, you deserve what is happening to you, you ain’t getting no sympthy from me for sure
Those boys were all born after 9/11/01, which probably means she married the raghead s.o.b. and converted after it as well. I’m willing to give someone a pass if they are truly ignorant of the realities, but she has no excuse. If that bag on her head means she hasn’t renounced Islam, then what is she complaining about? The muz-band is acting according to sharia law. So why isn’t she being a good little baghead wife and submitting to the will of her lord and master?
After what Paul Sperry recently revealed about the Saudi Arabian government’s direct support of the 9/11 savages, we should be informing them that they will return all American citizens who are there in violation of OUR laws or we will turn Mecca and Medina into molten glass. Which is what we should have done on 9/12/01.
Meanwhile, look who the FBIbies finally added to their “most wanted” list, a mere 7 years after the fact. The Boston Globe will probably run a story that he was “hearing voices”…

OT, but welcome back Bonnie.
I lost you here in bonny Scotchland for a few days. I was quite bereft.
I was hacked.
Hi Bonni: I tried sending you an email and it won’t go through. You’ve been down two days here…glad you’re back…and I thought you were pretty secure from the hacking threats…well, I hope it’s better now…
They keep finding new ways.
I’m so exceedingly GLAD to see you back!!! Obviously they’re keeping up all the pressure they possibly can – meaning that you’re well over the target!!!
Once my next pension instalment comes in, I’ll send you a few dollars (as with last year)…
Stupid, *stupid* woman!
No sympathy from me.
No sympathies to the American traitors who spread their legs and convert for Muslim men. Not a dime of taxpayer money should be used to recover them and if she goes there her citizenship should be revoked and she can stay in the hell she has made for herself.
I completely agree with you regarding ANY Western traitresses (be they in the USA, Canada, Australia, the UK or any other part of Europe including Russia, &c.): they deserve what they get, including this kind of heartbreak (especially when they convert to Islam – that in itself is worse than unacceptable)!!!
The sooner ALL recalcitrant Moslems (i.e., those who won’t of their own wills voluntarily renounce and irrevocably blaspheme Islam) are arrested, disenfranchised as necessary AND DEPORTED, the better!!! [Simultaneously, ALL Westerners in Islamic countries ought to RENOUNCE their jobs and flee such nations without so much as a backward glance!!!!]
DEATH TO ISLAM, COMMUNISM and ALL other tyranny and totalitarianism, PERIOD!!!!!
This is reason why every child in school and college need to learn the real islam and sharia law .
Bonnie, what happened ? your website was down for more than 48 hours ?
Hackers again. Please donate. This is getting expensive
I only feel sorry for the kids, they didn’t ask to be born.
A similar case in Australia 20 or so years ago, a female journalist married a Malaysian prince, they separated & he arranged for the kidnapping of their 3 children.
Didn’t matter the to-ing & fro-ing between the 2 governments, the kids were never going to be returned – we’re talking moslems here who do not respect anyone elses laws. There was a 60 Minutes program on it.
Doing anything to raise money for this case is simply a waste of time and money.
There was NO chance with Malaysia – there is even LESS chance with Saudis.
Besides why should anyone help a moslem convert?
You converted simply for moslem dick, now you reap the consequences.
Time to do a reality check up from the neck up – the kids will be staying there forever, doesn’t matter what you try & do here.
Maybe if you renounced pisslam people would be more sympathetic, but you knew full well what you were doing & you understand pisslam very well – you KNOW what would happen to you if you went to Saudi Arabia.
I only feel sorry for the kids, they didn’t have any choice in the matter. Although it does raise another question.
What IF none of this ever happened, what’s to say they would not have grown into home-grown jihadists? There are thousands already & the situation is only going to get worse.
So I say again madam, you know you have no chance of seeing your children, they will NOT be returned, so why are you STILL a moslem?
Islam is what caused the problem, so why are you still adhering to it?
If you still believe in pisslam then don’t expect anyone here to be sympathetic or help you. Your allegiance is to pisslam & not the U.S.
Unfortunately jihad comes in many different forms..here in the US at some mosques young muslim males are encouraed to perform love jihad on infidel women, especially blacks and hispanics so as to increase the no. of muslims in this country of didferrent minority races , so as to get islam entrenched int he society. Is she going to use the donation to go to saudi arabia, if so then she is being suicidal ! I hope not.Many americans are not well read in the religion and culture of another society….the young poeple better start learing about the evils that come along with Islam. Never , Never marry a muslim man — drum that into the head of all those clueless females in the US….look there are so many other more handsome and eligible fishes in the pond, why would any one want to pick a barracuda ? !~…so sad. I personally knew a friend whose sister got engaged to a palsestianian muslim who lied to her that he was a christian and even tried to teach her the koran, the silly girl thought that the koran was th muslim bible except written in arabic..talk about clueless. The muzzie got jealouos and paranoid whenver the girl talks to anyone or another male friend. He threatened her several times. She left him and he entreated her to come back..lucky she did not, he shot himself in the head and was planning to kill her when she entered the house.
More than that: SHUN all Moslem businesses!!! Don’t sell Moslems anything of importance (land {especially!!!!}, housing or anything else precious!!); don’t employ them under ANY circumstances!!!
The ONLY things they really can be sold properly are ONE-WAY transportation tickets (preferably on their own transportation companies {e.g., Kingdom of Saudi-Arabia airlines, Etihad, Emirates} – i.e., let NO Western companies have a thing to do with them!!!) to return there ASAP!!!!
The ONLY exceptions are those who would do ALL of the following steps voluntarily AND submit to a minimum 12-year probation period (better 15):
1) Publicly RENOUNCE AND BLASPHEME Islam – and on video-recordings too!!!
2) Prove that they’re developing skills and talents in fields that are haram (i.e., forbidden) in Islam (art, music, science, Western medicine), with at least 1 career plus 2 hobbies being preferable;
3) Renounce ALL communications by ANY means (letter, telephone, Internet) with their ancestral nations and peoples – unless supervised at ALL times with only their closest relatives AFTER a number of years have passed by…
4) Master languages of their new countries as quickly as possible.
This list likely ought to be a minimum: if others want to add more ideas, they’re welcome to do so!!!
DEATH TO ISLAM!!!!!
Help? Here is your help. Move on dumbass, those kids are now future suicide bombers, or Bachi Boys. Get a life, start by taking the bag off your head. Or give up and take a dirt nap. No excuse for being so stupid. That goes for the fools who gave her money too.
You made your bed now you have to sleep in it. You thought islam was so great and did you really think that he cared for you? Sorry to say but your screwed again. Peace to all non-muslims who say “I told you so” Cold hearted it may be but did anyone say this when the Christian children were killed by muslims?
why would jessica, or anyone else for that matter, ever think that majed sayed would follow the order of a US court?
she has given ample demonstration of her intelligence by marrying this pos and converting to the Islamic cult.
bottom line – who gives a shit. i’d rather the little muzzies stay in saudi; we don’t need the future jihadis to do their damage here.
what is it with these stupid women who marry Muslims. I have no sympathy for her. The children I feel sorry for but they will probably end up as women and American haters just like the rest of the men. God forbid they will end up as terrorists.
Part of me feels sorry for her, the other part says she did this to herself and to her kids. This should be front page news, letting every women in the US know the dangers of marrying a muslim, but that too won’t happen.
Kiss your kids good by women, be thankful that you didn’t go to Saudi Arabia or you to would be his (your husbands), slave.
Find the “Living God” … Jesus Christ, repent, and ask him for help … other than that there is nothing!
I guess she really didn’t learn her lesson if she’s STILL wearing that trashbag on her head. My prayers are with those children.
I have no sympathy for stupid. We have heard this same stupidity trap, over and over again. Therefor no sympathy. All the muslim converted fool can do is to learn from her mistakes of trusting a muslim scum ball and tell her story to every dupe who could be taken in by marrying a muslim lying taqiyya scum ball. Never trust a muslim and never marry a muslim. (Do not hire a muslim either.) Anybody who gives her money is wasting their money.
There was this one girl on forums who claimed she married at muslim at age of 18 despite everything being said about them. She said he accepts her for being a catholic but after she came back ( yeah she did!) from egypt, she changed her faith to islam and started behaving in a total fanatic way, as if this was just not the same person. Muslim man will never treat us equal, they will never change their faith but demand urs to be abandoned…
http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/4081/egypt-women
Egypt’s Women: Covered-up or Locked-up
Need to say more? Is it really so difficult to understand there is NO RESPECT FOR WOMEN in islam…. until it is too late?
What beautiful children and what a shame their mother was so uneducated as to marry and convert to that horrible cult. What the heck was she thinking? These things have been going on for at least 30 years and there has been a ton of publicity about the consequences. These men can charm the birds out of the trees so all women need to beware. I would stay single if my only option was one of these devils. I hope she gets her children back. There are people who will, for a very high price, go into these countries and steal children back, but it is extremely risky. I hate to imagine the price if you are caught. Poor little kids…what a horrible punishment for a stupid mother and a cultish father.
The problem is she NEVER listened to what people tried to tell her, don’t marry a Muslim. Unfortunately she will probably never see her children again until they are adults and only if they choose to see her. But by them I am sure their father will have brainwashed them against her.
Really sad, stupid, desperate, foolish young women thinking they are in love, so they sell their souls for a life time of heartache. I cannot image losing my children this way, such a misery!
i have no sympathy for her. I also believe every young woman must be shown in class the Sally Field movie “Not Without My Daughter”
it should be required viewing before gfraduation
Good idea, but not likely to happen unless some responsible parents get a group viewing of the DVD set up in one of their basements. In strict secrecy, of course. If word got out they’d have the “hate crime” police dragging them to court for “insulting Islam” by telling the truth again.
Despite the fact that this may sound cold hearted, all I can say is that she should have thought about things before she married a muslim.
Just another crop of Ex-pats that will come back in 20 years and try to kill Americans.
Sorry for the mothers loss but yes, you are right in asking what in the hell was she thinking.
Stupid Liberal.
