When Past Violence Hides Behind a New Name: The Truth About Amina Korley Patrick

Please read the original story here: When Faith Becomes a Weapon: How My Ex Wife Used Religion and CPS to Destroy Our Family

For years, I have stayed silent about the dangerous truth behind my ex-wife, who now hides under different names, including Vanessa Korley Tetteh, Vanessa K Patrick, Vanessa Korley Patrick, and Amina. But justice and public safety demand transparency. When religion, deceit, and violence intertwine, the victims are not only adults but also children.

A History of Violence in Georgia

Public records from the Gwinnett County Magistrate Court in Georgia show that on December 28, 2005, Vanessa was arrested and charged with Simple Battery after attacking her own mother.

Case No: 05W12724

Charge: Simple Battery, Georgia Code 16523

Location: Gwinnett, GA

Court: Magistrate Court

Status: Released after arrest

This was not a misunderstanding. It was a violent act against her own parent. Violence that early in life foreshadowed what was yet to come.

Conviction for Child Endangerment in California

On January 11, 2017, tragedy struck again. Vanessa, under her legal name Vanessa Korley Patrick, was charged and convicted at the Michael D Antonovich Antelope Valley Courthouse in Los Angeles County for harming our daughter.

California Penal Code: 273ab Child Endangerment

Case No: ATP7AN0025801

Plea: Nolo Contendere No Contest

Disposition: Guilty Convicted

Sentence: 16 days in Los Angeles County Jail and 48 months of probation

My baby girl was the victim of that cruelty. And yet CPS did nothing to protect her. Instead, they used her lies and religious manipulation to tear our family apart.

A Pattern of Deception and Manipulation

Vanessa has moved frequently from Atlanta, Georgia, to Lancaster, Palmdale, and Delano in California, even using multiple addresses at the same time.

Her aliases include Vanessa Tetteh, Vanessa Korley Tetteh, Vanessa Korley Patrick, and Amina.

She has portrayed herself as a faith leader, beauty consultant, and community volunteer, but beneath that facade lies a documented history of child endangerment and domestic battery.

Why This Matters

Child Protective Services and the family court system should have reviewed her criminal background before trusting her testimony against me. But they did not.

They ignored the 2005 violent assault, overlooked the 2017 child endangerment conviction, and weaponized her faith narrative to destroy an innocent father’s life and family.

A Warning for Other Parents

If someone like Vanessa, now calling herself Amina, enters your life under the guise of religion or righteousness, her crimes are documented. Be careful. Her record is public her crimes are documented and her pattern of deceit is unmistakable.

Transparency is not revenge. It is protection.

Every parent has the right to know the truth when the safety of their children is at stake.

Evil often hides behind a mask of faith and a smile. The truth must be spoken to prevent history from repeating itself. My mission is not to destroy anyone’s reputation but to protect children and expose the lies that CPS and the courts ignored. Read the full background and timeline at:
