My name is Joshua Scott. I was a missionary with my ex, Julie Peters, for several years in Nicaragua, and in that time, we had two beautiful babies, Nebula Emerald and Cosmos Love. Julie ended up having an affair with the worship leader of our temple, and together they kicked me out of my house and took over my land using emotional abuse, manipulation, and slander. I left the land to get a break from their ongoing affair in my house, not thinking that would be one of the last times I'd see my children.

Since then, she has used copies of my passport to somehow and unfairly flag me and make entering Nicaragua almost impossible.

Last I saw my children was New Year 2022 in LA before their mother took them to Nicaragua and has since refused to return nor let me see or speak with them.

We bought farmland in Nicaragua, so I thought it would be easy and fair to split the land and resources so that we could both be in their lives, but their mother paid a lawyer to remove my name from land titles illegally and has been threatening me if I return while slandering me online. I have filed a case with the police and the FBI for parental alienation and abduction.

I need help. At this point, I really feel I need an international family lawyer to help me see my kids again.

Since this all happened, I have spiraled into a hopeless depression and endless anxiety and desperation to see my children again. Please help me! I am at a total loss for what to do. My spirit is so heavy, and I cry daily for my children.

Their mother has a history of serious mental health issues, including schizophrenia. She kidnapped a child when she was babysitting them at 18 years old. She was hearing voices telling her the parents were unsafe and she needed to rescue them. She later went to a mental hospital for five years. At one point, she went to church and claimed to have a miraculous healing. She became a mission leader for Bethel Church for all their students. That's when I met her, and she invited me to be a leader. She is 16 years older than me, and I respected her as someone older. In the end, she used my trust and manipulated me into an abusive relationship for several years in the name of God, claiming that I was disobedient to God if I didn't marry her. Sadly, I believed her. Not sadly, we had two beautiful children, but now I am utterly destroyed daily by this heartache and inability to fix anything. I am working hard to make a better life now and have a solid job but don't make nearly enough to find even a local lawyer, let alone an international one. I honestly don't even know how much one would cost. I just need help, please.

Really appreciate your prayers and support.
