We're back and ready to welcome our next case
with a quote by American author, Rob McBride.
It reads,
"Nothing is what it seems. Perception creates our reality."
Bring out the litigants.
I always dreamt of having a child, but something's up.
Ever since this boy came to our house,
he's been ogling my wife!
He's jealous and has his mind in the gutter.
He doesn't realize that he's just an innocent child.
Hello and welcome.
Hello.
Carlos, you're suing Omaira, your wife.
Correct.
Tell my why you're suing her
and what you demand in order to resolve this case.
Ma'am...
My lady, my girlfriend, my fiancé...
She's pretty much my wife.
How long have you been dating?
Five years.
Do you live together?
Yes.
Okay.
Like I said, we've been together for five years
and we've been having an issue
with a boy we adopted.
We adopted him because my wife can't have children.
Have you legally adopted him?
Not yet.
So it's not an adoption.
He's just living with you.
Right.
It turns out that a friend of mine has a little brother
that he doesn't want at home.
I don't know exactly why.
They have family problems and he wants to kick him out.
I explained things to her
since my friend gave me that option.
I thought it might be a good idea to take him in.
How old is he?
He's eight.
So the boy's living with you.
For how long now?
Eight months.
The boy is already living with you.
Yes.
How is your relationship with the boy?
When we first brought him home...
You'd be surprised at how smart he is, ma'am.
He talks like an adult.
He knows about baseball,
which I don't know much about.
It's surprising.
I go online and can confirm everything he says.
He's very smart.
He knows about all the current music
and social events.
Extraordinary.
He's gifted.
This boy was basically raised in the street.
Of course.
He'll adapt to any situation.
He's street smart.
So what's the problem with the boy?
I want him out of my house.
Why?
He thinks that I'm the child and that he's the father.
He's obsessed with that idea.
-A role reversal -Exactly.
Give me examples.
Here are things that happen around the home.
I got home from work one day
and found my wife laying down on the couch
and the boy was on top of her,
massaging her, touching her breasts, touching everything.
When I reprimanded him,
he stood up to me and wanted to fight.
I tried to explain, but she got mad at me.
He's a child. I'm giving him maternal love.
That's not maternal love. This is too extreme.
One night I was being intimate with my wife.
We both showered and got into bed.
As we were laying there about to begin,
the boy shows up in the middle of everything.
Doesn't the door have a lock?
Yes, but it's broken.
He didn't lock it.
You should fix that.
He has his own room.
Obviously, the child should not be interrupting.
Especially not at that time.
So where is the boy sleeping now?
With us.
He's afraid of the dark.
Our sex life has been ruined.
He sleeps in the bed right between us.
I sleep in a corner.
He needs protection.
I want that boy to leave.
Okay, got it.
Hold on, ma'am.
There was an incident
with some money we had saved up for our wedding.
She spent it on him. They went to amusement parks.
So you're also asking her to replace the $10,000.
So kick the boy out and$10,000 for the wedding.
Yes.
Got it.
How do you respond?
He's sick, ma'am.
He's not seeing our role as mother and father.
I didn't have a baby.
They brought me that boy.
It was his imposition and I let him in.
I yearn to be a mother.
I had him in my arms and he could feel me.
I've never felt like a mother. I never breastfed.
He also never went through that.
I was simply snuggling him and he fell asleep.
Your arms move when you're sleeping.
I'm not too sure of that.
I don't know much about an eight-year-old's arms.
Does he bathe himself?
He's a child.
Sometimes he'll come in the bathroom when I'm showering
because he's scared.
He'll sit there and wait for me.
Yes, but...
She's showered with him.
So you'll be showering naked and this boy...
Well, I can't shower with clothes on.
I understand that.
I just think he should wait outside.
I was raised like that.
How does an eight-year-old boy get into a nightclub?
I don't know how they let him in.
That could get me in trouble with Child Services.
Do you have footage?
Yes, ma'am.
Okay, let's take a look.
How did he get in there?
No, I can't believe it.
That's not my son.
No way.
This boy has been raised by savages.
I don't even know what to say.
Is he here?
Yes.
Let's bring him out.
Over there.
Hi, ma'am, how are you?
Good, come here.
Over here?
Yes, right here. Give me a kiss.
I don't reach.
Stand up there.
Alright.
Nice to meet you.
I'd steal you too, ma'am.
What did he say?
Show some respect.
I'd steal you too, ma'am.
How can you say that?
Tell me something.
What's your relationship with your foster parents?
My name is Jonathan and I'm eight.
I was on the streets for eight months
looking for a mother, and that's her there.
No one's taking my mom from me.
She treats me well.
She spoils me.
She gives me everything I want.
There's no way I'm giving her up.
My dad is this dumb ass over here.
Show some respect!
-Whatever. -Show some respect.
I don't respect you.
Hold on a minute.
I have to see this.
Ma'am, this guy is a punk.
What are you talking about? Get over here.
Where'd you get a tattoo?
I did that with a pen.
Do I look stupid to you?
No.
Do I?
I did it with a pen.
Why do you crawl into bed with them?
Can't you see that they're a couple in love?
The thing is that the other day,
someone told me a story about a monster that eats ---.
What monster?
My mom and dad know the story.
Every day when I go to the bathroom I hear the monster,
so of course I have to walk in.
I have to interrupt the abuse that's going on in there.
I get in bed and no one can do anything.
Now you know.
He's disrespectful, ma'am.
How do you get into nightclubs?
I'm a boy, so the ladies love me.
I'm cute, you know.
I go dance with them
and when we leave, it's off to the slaughterhouse.
Are you telling me you like older women?
Yes, of course.
What am I going to do with a little girl?
I don't mess with kids.
But you are a kid. You're only eight.
I know, but I'm mature. I like older women.
I look like a doll in their arms.
Those two pillows they have in front...
You can rest your head and it's really nice.
What can I do?
I keep them warm.
Don't you go to school?
They don't want me there. They say I'm bad.
They don't?
We tried, but we don't have his papers.
Who else has a witness?
I do.
Bring in the plaintiff's witness.
Get him out of here.
-You're not taking him. -I don't want him anymore.
Please be quiet so we can try to understand.
I've lost all reason.
Hello, sir. What's your name?
I'm Wellington.
What are you doing here?
Excuse me. Settle down.
-Do you know him? -Yes.
How do you know him?
Just a sec!
Jonathan, hold on!
No one invited him here.
How do you know him?
He's my brother.
Oh, he's the one who gave you the boy.
Yes, ma'am.
I had to call out of work to be here.
I came because I feel bad.
I never should've introduced them to him.
I'll explain.
I have some evidence I'd like to show you.
Bring it here, please.
I'm here to unmask this child.
Ma'am...
He's not a boy, folks.
I suspected this.
This boy is 22 years old.
There you have it.
He's 22.
I knew it!
Didn't I tell you?
You're the one who brought him!
Yes.
What do you have?
What's your condition called?
I have a congenital disease, but it's nothing.
It's congenital?
Yes, but I thank God for making me this way.
I bet!
You're making the most of it.
Of course.
If I tell ladies I'm 22, they won't believe me,
so I say I'm eight.
It's easier that way.
He's a con artist.
His brother is the con artist for making you think he's eight.
I'm sorry.
It goes deeper than that.
He has a growth hormone deficiency.
He lived with my parents in the Dominican Republic.
They sent him here because they couldn't handle him.
I took him in,
but when he got here, he didn't have papers.
I live with my girlfriend
and everything they're going through...
He did to you.
Almost.
I was ready to kick him out,
but I didn't want to leave him on the street.
Then I met Carlos and they told me about their situation
and that they couldn't have kids.
I was between a rock and a hard place.
I want to apologize to them.
I was trying to save my relationship,
so I had to get rid of him.
When I left him with them, I left out that minor detail.
Some detail!
It was the biggest detail of all!
He's 22, not eight.
I have to pretend to be a kid sometimes.
Don't even.
I know you're making the most of this.
What do you have there?
It goes further.
Even further?
Yes.
I'd like to give you this.
I wanted to break the news to you slowly because it's serious.
Read that and let me know.
He's officially legal here in the U.S.
You're a home wrecker.
You're the home wrecker here!
Omaira...
What?
You're standing there as if you're innocent.
What should I say?
Omaira, say it.
Say what?
You're married to him.
Married to who?
It's only for his papers.
Even after all this time, you still wouldn't marry me!
It was only for his papers.
You married the boy.
Please bring in the psychologist.
I'm the one who needs her.
I don't even know
who needs medical attention here anymore.
Bring in Dr. Moises Irizarry too, please.
I'm ashamed to be your brother.
You're having...
Omaira!
Are you having...
Omaira, are you having sex with him?
I did.
She's my mom. Don't worry.
Did you have sex?
Yes.
But he's a man. He's an adult.
So what am I?
The cuckold or sloppy seconds?
It's something forbidden.
It's like having sex with a child and not going to jail.
Chucky wannabe!
Did you hear her?
"It's like having sex with a child and not going to jail."
So she has pedophilic fantasies.
You could say that.
Of course she does!
He turns me on.
If she feels attracted to a person
who physically looks like a child,
you could say she has pedophilic thoughts.
Why didn't you tell your boyfriend
that you knew the truth?
I didn't know how.
He's never home.
I can never reach him on his phone.
We don't talk much.
So you don't care about him anymore.
Yes, I love him.
And him?
As my son.
It's a different type of love.
It's a sick love.
Doctor, please check with me after this.
I really need it.
What does this boy have?
He has a condition called pan hypopituitarism.
The pituitary gland is the central gland
that controls all the hormones in the body.
In a few cases, certain deficiencies are congenital.
When certain hormones are developed,
the person may not develop sexually
or they may develop diabetes.
He may not grow either, but he's still an adult.
He's not a dwarf.
No.
This isn't dwarfism.
No because this doesn't affect his bones or muscles.
He simply grows as a child.
He stays at the size he had before puberty.
So then his entire body is that of a child.
Yes.
So his genitals are childlike too.
Yes.
They might grow a little, but they remain prepubescent.
Ma'am...
Listen to me.
This complicates things a lot more.
I want them both out!
Yes, but who owns the property?
We both do.
I was the one who put down all the money.
Yes, but is it under both your names?
He fell for the trap.
Yes, he did.
Here are your options.
The three of you can live there happily.
Which is what's best.
Or you can sell the apartment,
split the profits, and each of you go your own way.
And that's it.
What do you want?
He can leave it to me and be on his way.
Shut your mouth.
I don't want either one of them.
Then let's sell the apartment
and split the profits equally.
You two can go your way
and he'll rid himself of this nightmare.
I don't want to...
Honey, you cheated on him in such an awful way
that even if you don't leave him,
I'd leave you on any corner.
A liar who knew everything...
I'm sorry, but you've been married for a while.
A month.
That's long enough to tell your real husband
what was going on.
Sell the apartment and go your own ways.
That's final! Case closed.
Be kind, be careful,
educate yourself as much as possible,
respect others so you'll be respected
and may God help us.
See you next time. Thanks!
