I've never been one to protest, rally or march unless it is very important to me and Gabriel Fernandez's rally for justice was very dear to my heart. In fact, there is a blog about him that I wrote when I found out that the Social Service workers were let off without charges.
The rally took place at 210 N. Temple Street on 6/2/21 where that evil bitch of a mother to Gabriel had filed a petition to the court for a lighter sentence. This was something that I felt that I had to do because when I sent letters to my representatives about Gabriel and the how the system failed him not one of them answered...not a peep. In the blog I asked a huge question...why bother having mandated reporters and mandated reporters workshops if the very people that are supposed to protect a child ignore the reports. This is a law...which is posted in my prior blog.
If teachers can be prosecuted for failure to report suspected child abuse than so can social workers. They should not have charges dropped and be given immunity. What/who is the system protecting? Why are they turning the other way on this?
Too many children have died as a result of the Social Service Department's in Los Angeles, CA failure to act upon reports filed by mandated reporters. The list of children murdered by their mothers and their lovers is long and shows a pattern of neglect by the system that teachers and other mandated reporters are supposed to report to by law. If they don't they can be prosecuted.
These murdered children were not just murdered, they were brutally tortured for days on end. And yet, the system that mandated reporters are required to report to have failed to liberate these children from these monsters and have turned a blind eye.
It was reported that the social workers on Gabriel's case falsified their reports regarding his abuse and yet were allowed to go free and given immunity.
There is a movement to recall George Gascon from his position as the District Attorney of Los Angeles because of his liberal policies such as taking felonies and creating misdemeanors and then freeing the prisoners. One person that I spoke to told me that when he was the DA in San Francisco, CA he left it in such a mess that people speculate it will take years to fix and that he plans to implement the same policies in LA that he implemented in San Francisco.
I am wondering if he aspires to Kamala Harris' job as California's Attorney General. What a travesty that would be. People have criticized Harris for the job she did when it came to cannabis and prosecution. She was upholding the law at the time. I doubt if Gascon could do the job half as well as Harris did.
I urge those reading this to write to our Governor, your State Assembly representative and your State Senate representative and express your frustration that our system is fractured, ask what's the point of having mandated reporters and training for mandated reporters by law if the people that the mandated reporters are to file complaints with ignore the complaints and falsify records with immunity. Flood the system and document.
We need to put the system in check by asking questions and sending copies of our communications to the press so that they can see where the flaws are. Rallying for a cause is good, but you need to create a paper trail.
I tried by sending Governor Newson, State Assembly member Luz Rivas and State Senator Hertzberg. Not a peep from of any of them. No one addressed this travesty of judicial incompetence/malfeasance. I certainly didn't expect Luz Rivas to have nothing to say when so many Hispanic children are being murdered by their parent/s.
For the record: the last rally I marched in was in 2017 and it was the first Woman's March in downtown LA in protest of the pussy grabbing #45; I am a pre-school teacher at a movie/television studio and have worked for the same company for over 18 years; I have worked for the Los Angeles Unified School District's Indian Education Program as an instructor and have been a commissioner on the American Indian Education Commission. I have worked to rid the LAUSD of Indigenous Mascots and won as well as kept the Red Line subway out of the San Fernando Valley and out of Sacred Ground. As a result, the SFV has the above ground Orange Line.
All the time you see people writing a lot of allegations about this politician or that politician being crooked on social media. Some posters will even go as far as to say what they are being crooked with, but not one iota of proof/evidence.
Allegations are just talk. You need to have evidence to back up your allegations. If you don't have evidence then you need to word you accusations differently. One way that you can catch a crooked politician is with paperwork. Paperwork from the system itself is the best way to garner proof of your suspicions.
One time many years ago I accidentally stumbled upon the easiest way to get proof of wrongdoing. I was pissed at my landlord and got tired of hitting a brick wall so I went to the County Tax Accessor's office to get a print out on him via property tax records.
When the clerk was handing me the info, she said hmmm this property sold way below market value. Sure enough fishing around for similar properties in the area all were much higher except for my landlord. He happened to be an officer of the court so it didn't take a lot of genius to figure out what had transpired.
The matter was handed over to some very smart attorneys to finish off.
Now with the homeless comes a whole new scheme. It isn't totally illegal, but is unethical here in Los Angeles, CA and is as bad as insider trading as far as I am concerned.
These days there are more homeless than ever before. The problem began when President RWR decided to get rid of federal funding for the mentally ill and psych facilities. Since then responsibility has been shifted around to avoid directly solving the problem.
Our politicians across America haven't entertained the idea of putting funding back and rewriting laws to accommodate the shift in funding. Some of these politicians got wise and realized that if they did nothing except open their towns to "camping" out in the neighborhoods that are in their cities that property values would go down.
Once the property values in certain areas go down, then they could buy up the properties at rock bottom prices and resell them for many times more than what they paid. Sometimes it is to developers and other times it has been to the very same system they work for. In some of those cases it was land to build homes for the homeless.
A few of Los Angeles' politicians have gotten caught up in a scandal that involved land and developers awhile back.
I like to call these carpet bagging opportunists Real Estate Barons.
You probably know of a few where you are. It isn't limited to a political party in particular. It crosses the spectrum of politics.
Let's review. You go into your County Tax accessor and ask for info on a particular address/addresses. When they hand you the paperwork ask them for the fair market value. If something seems askew, then do a title search by name. If you have the address/addresses handy use those.
This service is not for free. You will have to pay for the info, but at least you'll rest easier knowing that you are going to catch an unethical Real Estate Baron.
