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.
