Let's get the facts on this double DUI that occurred in the early morning of 8/18/11. My 4 year old granddaughter was the child involved. Here is the link for Maryland Case Search. http://casesearch.courts.state.md.us/inquiry/inquiry-index.jsp Agree to the terms and search to your heart content. Abullin aka Joann Marie Fields. A quick search will bear the fruits of her existance. Among the charges you will find an assault on a "stet". She tried to stab my son with a butcher knife in front of my 4 year old granddaughter. Assault, dismissed, closed because my son would not testify. theft under $100, Salisbury University/Cool Beans, stole the money from a kid's wallet on video. You can see Ms. Abdullin makes her parents proud.
To the night in question, Abdullin was caught driving 76 mph, with my granddaughter in the back seat, in a booster seat, not a Maryland Law required car seat in Worcester County by Trooper Fort. Trooper Fort feeling kind of sick of paperwork, decided in his own kingly way, that he would not adhere to Maryland Annotated Code,Md. FAMILY LAW Code Ann. § 5-704 and he would not notify DSS/CPS as required under Maryland law. http://www.lexisnexis.com/hottopics/mdcode/ here you go the Maryland Annotated Code online for free. Look it up... Trooper Fort was required by Maryland law to call DSS/CPS to report this abuse/endangerment/drunk mother going 76 mph with a 4 year old child. Now let's really think. Maryland law, passed by the state to protect the minor child. Maryland State Police motto, to serve and protect. Here is a 4 year old child, bearly able to communicate, awake at 1:30 in the morning with a drunk mother and the MSP don't protect her.
My son, the baby's father gets a call from one of Ms. Abdullin's "friends". Joey, as we fondly call her, before her muslim transformation, was under arrest for DUI, go get the baby. My son, drives to Berlin from Salisbury at 2:00 a.m. to get his child. (recorded in the notes of the MSP as verified by Wicomico County DSS today via telephone) The MSP said, no....no the baby goes with her drunk mother and sober driver aka her green card marriage husband of 4 months. My son drives home and Ms. Abdullin drives away with her Pakistan husband who takes her to her car where she gets in a drives to somewhere for an hour or so before proceeding to her home in Salisbury, MD. Here we go...at approximately 4:00 a.m. I get up for work. My son calls me downstairs to tell me what happened with my granddaughter. My son, beside himself with fear, gets a cell phone call from the famous Ms. Abdullin. She is as he describes to me "drunker than he has ever heard her". My son and Ms. Abdullin were partners since 2005 and the baby is 4. Do the math, they were together for a long time. My son, calls the MSP and tells them that Ms. Abdullin is driving drunk on Route 90 getting onto Route 50 west bound.
He gives a description of the car and the MSP arrest her again for DUI. My son is on the phone, can I get my daughter. No, no, Ms. Abdullin has called someone to come get her. Be advised that there is not a custody order in place. For all purpose after a 6 year relationship, they just broke up. Look at the case law for Joann Marie Fields and you will see no civil matter regarding the baby. Ms. Abdullin in her wisdom assaults the arresting officer and goes off to jail and my granddaughter went off with only God knows.....Again the MSP ignore the laws of Maryland and fail to call DSS/CPS who are on duty 24/7. Where is the justice? Where is the protection and upholding of the law? MSP has no regard for the law. I called the supervisor of Berlin barracks. He told me that DSS/CPS have different rules. He got bossy and loud and rude, like a storm trooper. Told me to call back when I knew who the arresting officer was.
Who is accountable for this? Who violated the rights of my 4 year old granddaughter? Two Maryland State Police from the eastern shore of Maryland....the wild wild shore where the state police by their own admission have different laws than the rest of the citizens.

While the 2 DUIs are awful and so is endangering the child....
that post from the grandmother was extremely hard to read and comprehend....I had to read slowly to decipher it. Random sentences were not even complete and what does a man being from Pakistan have to do with anything? It was quite a rambling account. I'm sure she is upset but she needs to think clearly as she writes because it is barely understandable!
Sounds like the MSP were intimidated by the fact she is a Muslim. Welcome to Sharia-ville.
get an attorney and get custody!
The cops protect the kids of other cops, and dispatchers , no speeding tickets, no drunk driving charges, ect... I know this for a fact. Have seen it time and time again.
agreed 9:32

lol you must be a friend of the mother only took one reading to see the girl is now a converted Muslim married to a green card Pakistan citizen. seems most Muslims dont drink so maybe the marriage is to gain us citizenship and it seems she has a drinking problem and no respect for the child
This is dispicable that a mother would put her child in harms way like this. What is wrong with some of the parents today, it is all about "ME" first with them.
The only question I can think of to ask is why is there not a custody order in place? Had there been one her son could have taken his daughter.There just seems to be alot more to this story.
I agree get an attorney and get custody!!! Sounds like this child should not be with the mother at all
A terrible circumstance absolutely, but the muslim and pakistani references were not only confusing, but irrelevant. If a person does an absolutely terrible act, the nationality or religious affiliation should not even be brought into play. People of all nationalities and backgrounds have all done terrible things like this, and the book should be thrown at all of them.
This rant really got under my skin, how dare you ma'am accuse the MSP for this. Where you there with Trooper Fort, did you read his mind about being sick of paperwork? Perhaps Trooper Fort didn't have CODE 5-704 memorized. Perhaps he thought the barracks would notify CPS or that CPS is notified after the court hearing? You nor I can speak for the Trooper, but I am sure just like everyone a child in this condition bothered him. MSP didn't protect the child? Wasn't Abdullin arrested and released to her HUSBAND and the child was released because THEY have custody. I'm sure MSP did not know that her husband would allow HER to drive again. But once your call came in, did MSP just ignore you, or arrest her for the second time and bring charges on the husband for allowing her to drive? The Barracks Supervisor was probably firm with you because if your letter is any indiction, you were in understandible hysterics and he was trying to defuse the drama. I am sure the Barracks and Troopers will have to answer as to why CPS was not notified. However you need to focus on getting custody of your granddaughter and stop blaming the ones that put their lives on the line EVERY SINGLE DAY to allow YOU the FREEDOM to call them law ignorant scumbags!
Totally agree anon 9:53. They have enough on that woman to do something now.

You just don't get it do you.... Liberal Idiot!!
ok before we throw stones what is the grandmothers and the childs fathers name so we can look in there past and find the skeletons on their closets!!
ml
beware of the pakistani. he has probably brainwashed her for jihad.
If they think the four year old won't remember riding with a drunk driver,I'm almost 65 and can STILL remember the fear of a drunk parent driving on the wrong side of the road when I was not much older then this child ! I pray she is able to live to even be able to tell about it....this is heartbreaking to hear,but as a grandparent,she may not of had her sentences perfect,but the message of frustration and worry is clear.God be with the child and protect her....I hope someone can do something quick and save the child and get this drunk driver off the road before she hurts someone.
9:51 - You are an idiot.
She is not a good Muslim at all. Consuming alcohol is frowned upon.
I read the the family law statue she refers to and it does not seem to apply here. It appears that law was written for physical abuse and neglect. (such as not feeding or clothing) Even if that Trooper called DSS, I don't think anything would have changed. The police are not to blame- it is easy to see who should be blamed though. I hope the courts do the right thing.
You don't have to be an English major to write the story this grandmother wrote, I thought she got the point across just fine. My heart goes out to you grandma,and I think you should persue justice with all your energy.Let your voice be heard, and get louder and louder until you get the right response.
Amen, 8:13 a.m.! Get that child away from the mother asap!!!
Just because your religion "frowns" on certain things,doesn't mean you follow that religion. If everyone followed their religion and their holy book this world would definately be a better place.
The father and the grandmother should work towards getting custody. Easier said than done, the mother of my grandchild decided to get involved in the drug world. Was busted for possesion, got a fine and probation. My grandchild was in places no child should ever be. My son had stable employment and stable environment, owned his own home, no criminal record. When he went for custody the best the court decided was, joint custody, reciding with the mother and he pays child support. It is very hard to prove the biological mother unfit, unless she is willing to give up the child on her own.
I am sure that the hatred she has towards this young lady, is that she left her son for another man. There are two sides to every story. While she shouldn't have driven with her child, I will be willing to bet that most of us have operated a car at some point after having consumed alcohol with our child in the car. The grandmother may be right, may be partly right, may be mostly wrong. I will reserve my judgement until I know facts. That is part of the problem on here. For one, people rush to judgement on speculation and hearsay, and secondly, it is none of their business to begin with.
9;33AM, a drunk driver is every one's business.
Not surprised to read how this was handled by the police, specifically as it relates to the DSS call. This is clearly child neglect, but law enforcement in Worcester county is its own entity. They do things how they want, not how they're supposed to. I could tell you many stories that back this up--believe me, I drive very carefully in Worcester.
It's just amazing that there are people that will always try to justify bad behavior. No one should try to protect this woman in any way and no one should criticize the grandmother for explaining (very clearly) what happened.
10:57, true, but she has not been found guilty, and it is none of our business if her husband has a green card and is Pakistani. Much of the driving force behind this women's letter is the relationship between her son and the mother charged with dui. My comment about none of our business is a generalized statement regarding much of what is commented on when these types of letters are written.
This grandmother has every right in the world to be fuming mad. If people want to drink that's fine but they shouldn't be driving much less driving with an innocent child in the vehicle.
All of us who are sickened by this mother's bevaviour should pack the courthouse the day of her trial. If she does get sentenced to jail time then wouldn't the father get custody?
You say your son responded to the Berlin Barrack and the child was released to the mother and the her "new" husband. And the "new" husband was sober. Sounds like to me if you should be mad at anyone it should be the "new" husband and your son. The "new" husband for taking her back to the car and your son for not trying to get custody prior to this incident. Would you rather of had the trooper call DSS and your grand daughter end up in foster care for months on end because neither parent is fit to care for the child?!?
What 11:04 is saying is so true!
10:28 this is not true, my son was arrested by MSP ( Berlin Barrack ) for DWI,and he should have been.I've been in Law Enforcement for 32 years and MSP knew by the tags on his car that he was related to a LEO.No break, wouldn't even let him turn the lights out on his car.
Last time I checked Department of Social Services are not open at 2Am and 4 AM I am sure Trooper Fort released her to her husband not knowing that he would let her drive the child around again.You need to blame her and her husband.MSP did respond and arrest her again after they got the call. You should be the one to report it to DSS during business hours. I firmly stand behind these Troopers they did their job.Maybe take your frustration on her and her husband if not for the MSP were you gonna stop the vehicle I do not think so.
All of this extraneous discussion is pointless. Deal with the facts of did she or didn't she. Did she or didn't she get behind the wheel of a vehicle and drive drunk? Did she or didn't she endanger the life of her child by doing just that? If the 2 answers above are yes, there is nothing further to be said.
Shame on the MSP for "letting her go" to anyone to start with. She is not a minor so she needed to be sober for good judgement.
It's called accountability people. This country is so busy being "busy" anyomore that no one seems to recognize the need.
Shame on the MSP for "letting her go" to anyone to start with
She was released into the custody of her husband who was sober. That is sop for people caught dui unless they lock them up or they can't find a ride.
I don't know the reason for the trooper's actions. I'm not going to second guess him. She is totally wrong and so is her husband, which is why he is getting charged.
Let's not throw stones when our own houses are made of glass. From what I gather from your ridiculous "letter" you're upset because YOU BELIEVE that the Trooper did not do his job but has your son done HIS job, at being a good father? The justice system can only provide the tools to help, they can't force you to use them. Sounds to me like your son hasn't done what he should be doing as a concerned father to protect his child. He is assaulted by a woman to the point where the police are needed to intervene but then refuses to aid them by testifying against her. He believes she is a bad mother but has never made an attempt to have any type of custody order put in place. I'm going to assume that if your son had since filed for custody you would've included that in your rant, since that fact is absent I assume that he has still not filed for custody. So what has he done to protect HIS daughter? If I was a police officer and I had the choice of entrusting a child to someone, it would be the husband of the woman I found the child with (and step-father) and not the guy that shows up and claims he is the father with no proof. How are the police supposed to verify that the child is in fact his and determine that he would be a safer custodian than the step-father.
Your suggestion to research the MD Case Search was refreshing. After researching Mom, Dad n Grandma, it's clear that the child was with the most law abiding of the three. God Bless that Child. I pray that DSS will get involved and the child will be placed with a suitable guardian.
@6:04--
give the facts and the outcome of this case, I don't see anything "standard" about what the operational procedure should have been.
Let me ask you this...what if this had been YOUR grandchild?? How would you have thought it should be handled?
Once again...it comes down to common sense. I believe that the MSP have at the very least just as much access to the histories here as any of us. Wouldn't you say?
Maybe the whole pakistani thing shouldn't of came up in the conversation but the grandmother was really upset that her granddaughter was put in that kind of danger. & if anyone has children than they should understand how she feels. when the father went to go pick his daughter up after the mother got pulled over with the first DUI, the father showed the police his identification to prove that he WAS the father since him & his daughter have the same last name. The daughters mother & the step-father do not have the same last name as the child. The mother was drinking and whether she had a sober driver (her husband) or not.. they should've released the child to her father since he drove an hour to pick her up & showed ID. He had not filed for custody beforehand because as he was told by the mother of the child, everything was fine. She was working and had gotten a new apartment and he would get his daughter every other week and everything seemed fine. The grandmother is not jealous that her sons babys mother moved on at all, the mother still stays in contact with the father & had the audacity to blame the father for her drinking that night because she saw him at lunch with a girl.. even though SHE IS MARRIED. So then she informed the father that she was going on a date herself (while hiding the fact that she was married). And a couple hours after her "dinner date" was when the childs father got the phone call from HIS friend that he needed to go pick his daughter up from the police station because the kids mom got a DUI with the child in the car. Since then they have stayed in contact with CPS and they are in the process of getting full custody now til the mother can go get the help she needs and straighten her life up. & to the one person who commented & said that everyone drives at some point drunk with a child in the car.. NO THEY DON'T. & if they do they need to check their parental skills... children are PEOPLE.. not pocket puppies. We are trying to get ahold of MADD in hopes that they will be present for the court case. & 12:31 (Aug 20) we would be more than happy to have everyone who feels that this is wrong to show up for the court case. We need as much help as possible to get through to society that this is not right. So many people do this stuff and get away with a slap on the wrist.. but what if next time this happens the child in the car does get injured or passes away? Or what if that drunk driver hits someone in your family or your child? We are asking everyone to stand up. This is a good cause and its time to fight back!
First of all, her son is not as innocent as she seems to make him out to be. He has been charged with DUI's, burglary, theft, possession of a handgun, and other things. The mother of the daughter made a mistake, but that doesn't mean she should have her daughter taken away. She may be married to a muslim but that doesn't mean she has changed her religion to muslim. I have know this girl since she was a little girl, and know for a fact that she is not as bad as this woman makes her out to be. I think this woman needs to get her facts straight before speaking. I don't agree with having a child out in the middle of the night, or drinking and driving especially with a child. But from what I was told she only had two glasses of wine and was not intoxicated. And she was assaulted by the officers and beaten. She was put threw a lot that night and more than what should have been done. The little girl is not with her mother as of now and that was her mother's choice. She knows she made a mistake and is sorry for what happened but she can't change the past. She is doing what she needs to do to be a better mother for her little girl. People need to stop judging people based on what someone else says. Not everything you read is true! JoAnn is a good person and has made some bad choices but who hasn't?!
