Part Three - Judge Baker Case Update! (Rough Day for Judge Baker)

[@theresagarcia4892]

Wow! Ms. Jennifer campos needs to be worked with. She is very unprofessional and sounds like she is not very educated in her job. She absolutely should not be lead and testify in court until she has significant professional development. Frankly, I am stunned by her testimony. SMH.

[@kristiclaw7303]

They are debating whether the children should be ready at some point to live with the monster who abused them!? Why isn’t that man in prison for the next 20 years!?

[@amandaharris5055]

There is no hope for mom if shes still seeing or interested in a man that abused her child. The fact that she didnt immediately drop him( to atleast get to the bottom of things) as soon as she found out speaks volumns...

[@ingloriousbetch4302]

There was no hope the second she refused to belive her kids

[@amyhunter7401]

Why has the court not ordered NO CONTACT with the man who abused these little girls.

[@OrphanAnnie681]

Because maybe he DIDN'T abuse them?

[@OnTropolis]

Are you even watching? You think he didn't abuse them? I'm sorry but if you actually think that's possible you haven't been following or you are absolutely blinded by your own hatred of the system to see the glaringly obvious truth. There is no contact. There will never be contact.

[@kristinmichelleyt]

I think they probably know they’re not going to reunify. It’s clear mom won’t be protecting her children.

[@chloebritton5919]

@@OrphanAnnie681wtf!! He’s a monster!! Lock him up and throw away the key

[@theresagarcia4892]

All I can say is that St. Francis needs to be examined closely because they don’t appear to be capable or professional! I am frankly appalled with the representatives here today. They are clearly not very educated. SMH.

[@mwgogo1]

Scary indeed!!!

[@NinaWhoGivesAF]

I am 6 minutes innand this caseworker is either sick or like...um...she may need a UA. "And stuff like that" should not be a response to a child's mental or physical updates.

[@AuntCathyPooh]

'Making a plate' for someone basically means one prepares a 'to go' plate of food and/or desserts for someone when at a dinner/get together...at least that's what it means where I'm from...

[@amyhunter7401]

Whether there is a law against meeting up for a beer with her daughter's abuser or not, she is showing that she will not protect her daughter by still having a relationship with him.

[@FlChell]

The mothers attorney makes me livid. The caseworker is useless in how shes answering his questions. If that mother wont protect the daughter who was SA by her husband not the childs father then she should not get that daughter into her care ever. That daughter should not have to worry about being around the man that sa her.

[@tashamoore7772]

This case got under my skin so bad. How in the world does a mother think that IGNORING her children’s outcry’s, then calling they liars is HELPING her children?! You don’t get to do some parenting classes and get your kids back to put them back around that monster. Are they INSANE?!

[@DevilOnlyKnitsLace]

This was the case where Mom's husband & father of the younger kiddos SA'd the older child...and Mom would be at her supervised visits on the phone, trying to get the older child to talk to her abuser. Mom was the "stand by your man" kinda gal, and didn't believe her child.

[@DianeGoodoien]

This case is soooo friggin irritating!!! I rarely hear anymore what's in the best interest of the children!!! Our CPS system is so broken and more often than not, all these kids grow up to continue the cycle of abuse!!!!

[@amandaharris5055]

Mom's attorney is doing her no favors...

[@CeceliaHill-vt5jd]

Wow attorney thinks the child is the bad guy he should be ashamed of himself

[@AuntCathyPooh]

He made me nauseous and irate 😡

[@kristinmichelleyt]

@@AuntCathyPoohSame! I don’t think I’ve ever been so pissed off and yelled at my phone so much during one of these. He is awful.

[@susandodder1664]

This is just the saddest. Dad should have no contact without supervision and Mom needs to give him up for kids sake. Just awful.

[@TannilleBrown]

I really hope the one girls bio dad steps up for his daughter because a strong heathy father daughter relationship would really help that child after what her stepfather did to her.

[@savage_optimist]

All i know is that Mr. Mendoza looks like a very attentive and affectionate daddy to that little boy and they should absolutely start a monitored return for that little girl ar least. She'd probably love a safe home and a little brother!

[@marciamartin5559]

How stupid is that lawyer. You can do all the stuff that Cp wants and still not get it. The parent is just wanting to get the kids back and then continue on.

[@CeceliaHill-vt5jd]

I can't believe this attorney he doesn't care about the children

[@rosamariamendoza1466]

This is so sad and serious, this little girl should be taken away from the" mother ". 😡🤔

[@rosamariamendoza1466]

What the heck, the father wants his daughter, but yet they won't place her with him?🙄🙄🙄🙄

[@dawnbatten3419]

This case worker is either overworked or maybe not feeling well because she has dropped the ball

[@rosamariamendoza1466]

Im glad the judge here is Judge Baker!!!😊

[@tamaraperras9853]

I share your thoughts about the mom and attorney.

[@kathleenwhitley7114]

On the case where the grandmother adopted her grandchild. Obviously the apple didn't fall far from the tree. The grandmothers daughter doesn't have custody of the child, and the grandmother adopted the child. She abused the child and the child was taken away from her. It really says a lot about the grandmother as well. Sad thing is this abuse. Probably started with her own child who had this beautiful boyand for some reason, she was given another one to abuse. Why does our system fail the children so much? I don't get it. It's best to take this child away from the grandmother and the mother, separate them and when he's 18, let him decide whether he wants to see the monsters. At least by then, he'll be big enough to fight back. This is just sad. God bless that little boy and his aunt.

[@KimberlyMcKoy]

I deeply dislike this mother. She is putting this garbage can before her children.

[@Reliance1340]

Woooooow Atty Sherrod needs an education in trauma and mental health. I’m glad someone finally objected because I wanted to hurl something at my tv. I don’t understand how people don’t get that people who SA do it again and again. As soon as those other girls are at the age he likes they are in danger if they aren’t already.

[@sheriyt40]

Agree 100%. His commentary was embarrassing and infuriating. He needs some education.

[@Starcatt966]

Not one single adult in those children’s lives is protecting them or even gives a shit about putting their best interests before the rights of that monster who gave birth to them, and calling her a “mother” is a fucking disgusting and sick, cruel joke. 🤮🤬

[@pammulholland8687]

The amount of work for this Caseworker Jennifer Campos is daunting! To have multiple cases and have to track, engage with, and report for this case alone on numerous children, 2 fathers, mother - all the services, appointments, schools, who's participating, who is potentially lying. 😮

[@tennysonparks2059]

It would be good if she wasn't a drug user herself.

[@Starcatt966]

Campos doesn’t seem like she has any part of this case under control or is even intelligent, trained or capable of communicating ANY information in a coherent way to the relevant people, so that the children are protected and having their needs met, instead of bumbling her way through this mess and allowing those vulnerable children to be traumatized so horrifically all over again. She is absolutely useless!! She can’t even compose a complete thought, in half the video she makes no sense and has to repeatedly explain what she means when she manages to remember her point! That monster who was the children’s incubator should NEVER have any contact EVER for what she did and continues to do to abuse those children!! WTAF?

[@kimmaried.7313]

Case worker needs to be replaced. She has dropped the ball so many times and doesn’t seem to be interested in doing follow up on the issues. It doesn’t make sense.

[@CeceliaHill-vt5jd]

I wish it would be pointed out to these people how many times they are saying um um um

[@rosamariamendoza1466]

Rather rude of you Attorney Sherrod!😮 You too , Mom's attorney.😮😡

[@rosamariamendoza1466]

What else she can do, are you kidding me? She can become a real caring mom!! Doubt it, looking at her!!😡

[@jlkcbw7264]

Mr Mendoza needs to file for custody of his daughter.

[@calliea3336]

Will the kids be required to participate in the jury trial? Since it’s not a criminal case re: the CSA, I don’t know how it works. If the kids have to participate, it is disgusting for the mother to put them through that rather than cut out the abuser to the extent she’s able to (I know them sharing kids makes it difficult, if not impossible, to cut him out completely, but at least stick to a professional co-parenting relationship ffs!). It will be a wonder if those girls will be able to trust anyone after all this, poor things 🙁

[@Starcatt966]

I don’t know for sure, don’t quote me, but judges don’t usually allow children, especially children who have suffered such severe abuse, to testify in a civil trial. Especially because of the overwhelming potential that forcing them to testify would cause them extreme emotional distress that would cause permanent damage.

[@tiggers26]

I'm sorry but if those were my girls he would be gone the second there was any out cry. My kids come first it's better to be safe then sorry. I could never have anything to do with anyone like that. I'm sick just hearing this,he would be dead in my eyes. She harmed them just as bad by not protecting them.

[@slwalling]

The mom's lawyer ticks me off.

[@savage_optimist]

I LOVE JUDGE BAKER!!!!!!

[@bethewalt7385]

Re: make a plate, sounds like they were at a church dinner, pot luck, covered dish dinner, they go by many names, anywho, that's where mom and the kids were and mom said, lets make dad a plate, a plate of food from the church dinner...

[@Olive47223]

I'm just a few mins in but it is so frustrating to listen to case workers. Do they not have minimal standards? Do they not require any training? Maybe they could watch a few hearing, good and poor case working reporting? Regardless of what's going on in the case, it is so disturbing the court depends on case workers for information. I would think, being in court one time would be enough to encourage them to show up prepared to the next time.

[@DwightKSchruteIII]

Ms campos isn’t my favorite case worker but, they’re not really court specialists they’re job is to ensure the safety and well-being of the children on their cases and most if not all are extremely overworked and Texas recently had a case worker arrested for child related charges so I assume a lot of changes are happening behind the scenes (I hope) I do think they need someone specific to testify that knows how to word things for the courts and not add on court onto their case load also but, idk how that would work so I’m just rambling at this point.

[@pammulholland8687]

Ms. Campos job is impossible. Tracking irresponsible unfit parents and traumatized children. And being attacked by right wing lawyers who understand nothing about child abuse and recovery. None of these "parents" should have access to these children, including out-of-state Mr. Mendoza who abandoned his daughter for years and now wants to play hero-dad.

[@karendeakin9628]

It isn’t their job to defend their actions to every lawyer I can bet this isn’t her only case she also sounds heavy with cold perhaps she should have called in sick !

[@TracyTerry-s4j]

Make a plate is a mainly Hispanic saying. It's to fill a plate for a person to take to another person

[@TracyTerry-s4j]

Normally a female taking to a male

[@Kilikina-dv5ud]

Where's the court case in where the dad is getting prosecuted for the abuse on the daughter?

[@karendeakin9628]

Oh and I still love judge baker least she gets on with it

[@TannilleBrown]

That case worker is useless. This poor child.

[@silenceisg4903]

I am sorry but this is a messed up case. The kids should not be returned. Ms. Campos a suggestion I have for you is to umm write down umm your thoughts umm that you umm want to umm tell the umm judge. The fact that you can't complete a sentence without using umm 15 times is very unprofessional!

[@silenceisg4903]

And I am only 6 minutes into part 3!

[@karendeakin9628]

Honestly I’d be pissed if I as the bloody worker doing my job has to be attacked by some ancient useless lawyer defending a shit of a woman sad world we live in isn’t it bet that lawyer earns more than anyone too

[@kayja2949]

This is a perfect example of "crossing the line" by CPS. They seem to be requesting all this stuff and when she finishes, they add something else. When is enough, enough?

[@tennysonparks2059]

I don't understand why they're still doing zoom court when covid is over. Did they even do zoom before covid? I doubt it. The world is so lazy.

[@OnTropolis]

They learned that it's way more efficient. They used to drive to multiple counties in a day for fifteen minute hearings. They could only cover a fraction of what they can now. It doesn't make sense for some courts to go back to in person and backlog the system all over again. The wait for court time is already atrocious. They can knock out a hundred bond hearings in a day now instead of a dozen

[@jeanlee1911]

um um i can not stand these official people that do that.

[@OrphanAnnie681]

Ontropolis, The lawyer did not "rage quit" as you said! That's just another example of your skewed perceptions.

[@Catgoeshiking]

You’re wrong. He absolutely threw a silent temper tantrum for not getting his way.

[@OnTropolis]

Or maybe it's yours that's skewed. It's all subjective. CPS isn't keeping this kid away from the parents. They're providing treatment that was requested and needed

[@mwgogo1]

Zoom, CPS, give CPS worker cold or allergy medicine. .....PLEASE!! Lazaro traded out illegal drugs for a SA??? Wha🫥 Mom in proud form stated a “full time ” AT KFC. I count 3 jobs in 8 months-- minute 24:20-- reunify w/M&D?
