"You can delegate authority...
but you cannot delegate responsibility."
Hello and welcome to<i> Case Closed.</i>
Let's see how our first litigants
delegate amongst themselves.
Please bring out the litigants.
Right now, all she's doing is hurting him.
He's better off with me. No argument about that!
David, you're suing Barbara.
Is she your ex-wife?
Yes, ma'am.
Very well, tell me why you're suing her
and what you demand to settle this case.
Ma'am, I'm suing my ex-wife, Barbara,
the mother of my 15-year-old son, Alejandro.
I'm suing her because of an incident that occurred.
My son was raped, ma'am.
I demand that Barbara give our son Alejandro
a chance to live with my mother for a few weeks.
You're his father, though.
Why do you want to send off your son
to live with your mother instead of with you, his father?
I can explain, ma'am.
I wish my son could live with me, but he can't.
Why?
I'm currently on probation.
Five months ago, some friends of mine invited me to a party.
I don't really consume drugs.
But that night I did consume what was there.
I assume it was coke, based off your gesture.
Right.
There was coke, molly, and lots of other stuff.
There's no need to go into detail.
Did you end up doing time?
I'm currently on probation.
Did you get sentenced to prison time?
No, ma'am.
So you're just on probation.
Does that preclude you from living with your son?
I'm still allowed to see him, but I can't live with him.
It's part of the restrictions.
So you're restricted from living with your son.
You can't have custody of your son,
so your solution is having him live with your mother.
Right.
Now, he was raped.
Was he raped by a woman or a man?
He was raped by a woman, ma'am.
A 27-year-old woman.
He's just 14, right?
-He's 15. -Okay, so he's 15.
So how did that happen?
I can explain, ma'am.
One of my son's closest friends from school, Carlos,
asked if he could host a party at my son's house
because his house wasn't set up for parties.
So they invited all the kids from their class over.
You know, they were all kids his age, around 14 or 15.
Yusimi is the girl who raped my son.
She invited people her age and older.
They brought alcohol and drugs to the party.
Cocaine and molly.
-The situation... -Got out of hand.
Yes.
The kids got scared.
One of them expressed that to my son.
He didn't know what to do, so he started telling kids
that his mom was coming home soon.
That's when Yusimi told him she'd handle the situation.
She told him to relax and handed him a soda.
My son thought it was a soda, at least...
but it turns out she spiked his drink,
because he started feeling dizzy.
She probably put molly in it, too,
because he claimed to feel aroused.
She kept touching him and hugging him.
He found that strange
compared to how she usually behaves around him.
He sees her like an older sister.
Right.
Then she took him to his room and laid him on the bed.
She tried pulling down his pants, but my son resisted.
"What are you doing?"
If you keep resisting, I'll tell everyone downstairs
you don't like women.
So he obviously fell for that.
She pressured him.
He agreed to do that against his will.
He stuck around because he's a man.
She managed to talk him into it because of how high he was.
That's not all she did.
She took off her bra and tied him to the bed frame.
Then she raped him.
Okay.
She also got a condom, broke it...
So she used protection.
She put the condom on him.
Yes, of course.
She tied the condom at the base to increase blood flow
and make sure he was fully erect.
Whoa, so she did that.
She gave him a full lesson in sex ed.
Yes.
You know what happened afterwards.
Based off what the police and medics later told me,
she'd apparently given him V-----.
That too?
Yes.
What the hell?
It was catastrophic, ma'am.
That woman is a savage.
So then what happened?
When my son looked down at himself afterwards,
he was bleeding.
He passed out.
This bitch saw what state he was in and left.
She left him there, bleeding on the bed.
Thank God his mother's a nurse.
She arrived just in time to save him.
I don't know what would've happened otherwise.
She found him bleeding on the bed and called an ambulance.
And the police.
That's when the real problem began.
How so?
My son has come to hate Barbara.
He blames her for everything.
Wait a minute. Blames her for what?
She called the police.
Was that animal arrested?
My son wanted me to keep quiet about it
to keep others from finding out.
Now all the kids in the neighborhood are bullying him!
He underwent therapy for a week
before going back to school.
He came back home feeling embarrassed and ashamed.
Everyone keeps calling him gay. They say he doesn't like women.
They mock him for not enjoying the hottest girl in the 'hood.
Oh, and another thing!
Ask her what happened recently. Tell her, Barbara!
He ran away from home and came to my house.
Oh, okay. Let's take a quick break.
You should have a stern talk with him.
He should support me!
It doesn't work that way, Barbara.
You're spoiling him rotten!
No, I'm not!
What were you doing during the party?
You should've been there, supervising!
-I was at work! -She was working!
She should've called me to watch over them!
You're only allowed supervised visits!
We've always had good communication.
-Why didn't you call me? -You can't supervise him!
You call me for a ton of other crap, but not this.
It's against the law for you to visit unless I'm present.
Alright, Barbara.
Why'd you let them throw a party while you were away?
I can explain, ma'am.
It was supposed to be a kids' party.
I never planned on adults attending.
Who did you discuss this with?
I gave the girl these instructions.
She was supposed to watch over the kids
while they were in the pool.
I bought cake, sweets, and I made them food.
They were all set.
I went to work, trusting that she'd take care of them.
She's picked up my kid from school a number of times.
So you've interacted with this woman before.
I've known her for years, ma'am!
She's been coming over ever since she was a teenager!
She's babysat my son for years.
She's known my son since he was in kindergarten!
They've been friends for years!
My son thinks of her like a sister
and Carlos his brother.
She's watched them grow up together.
It never occurred to me that she'd end up drugging my son.
I'd never knowingly let some random irresponsible woman
in charge of my son.
I can imagine.
I spent the entire night supervising them.
Whenever I got a chance at work, I'd call.
You know using your phone at work is frowned upon.
I'd take breaks and call them every hour.
I spoke to her and my son a few times.
The party went on as normal until 12:30 AM.
I was then told everyone was heading home.
I finished my shift, came home,
and found my son practically dead.
It's a good thing I'm a nurse.
I managed to resuscitate him.
He could've died!
Who gives a 15-year-old V-----?
My son was totally passed out.
Did you ever get a chance to talk to her and call her out?
No, ma'am... look.
That's exactly why I called the police
because I was about to kill her with my bare hands.
I'm glad she's in prison.
God save her if she gets bailed out.
I'm sure you understand.
I'm a mother and that's my only son.
I'm worried about him too, you know?
I would've done the same!
He can't live with your mom.
He needs to stay with me.
But he doesn't want to live with his mother!
He doesn't want to live with her
because he doesn't want to face the facts.
She's the authoritarian figure in this case.
You're offering him an escape.
Instead of having a stern talk with him.
He's going to commit suicide!
No, he's not!
He's seeing a therapist!
God knows how all that bullying is affecting him!
Do you realize how many kids commit suicide
after being bullied?
Hey!
Quiet.
Listen up.
Therapist my foot!
Look, bullying isn't going to lead him to commit suicide.
Kids who commit suicide...
He ran away from home!
...usually have mental disorders.
This case is different.
He doesn't have any mental disorder.
Well, that settles it.
The suicide threats are a cry for attention.
He's just trying to get attention.
He's a good kid, ma'am. I can't say otherwise.
You're an excellent mother.
I admit it!
That's irrelevant.
Think of our son's feelings!
Do you want to raise a coward?
Hello!
That's a conversation worth having,
but it's irrelevant to the case.
Did either of you bring witnesses?
I did, ma'am.
Is it your son?
I brought my son and my mother along.
Okay, let's bring out your mom first.
Then we need to talk to your son.
He's the main person we need to talk to.
You caused this whole situation.
David!
David, Barbara... please don't argue.
You're doing just fine. Believe me.
Good afternoon, ma'am.
Good afternoon. What's your name?
Isabel.
-And you are...? -David's mother.
Isabel, we're going to take a quick break.
How long? -And you are...? -David's mother.
A period of time.
How long?
He needs to change schools and meet new friends.
Like a coward?
Let me tell you something, David.
If you try to shield your son from all of life's obstacles...
He'll grow up into a useless wimp.
He'll become useless.
What's all this nonsense about changing schools?
He needs to face the situation.
Good afternoon, Isabel.
What's your statement?
I agree with my son, ma'am.
I think my grandson should spend some time at my house.
Why?
So he can calm down and recover.
Calm down?
The neighborhood kids are all taking out on him.
My grandson's constantly locked in his room.
If he walks out onto the balcony,
the neighborhood kids call him gay.
"You don't like women!"
My son tells me about his visits.
I went to see him and he refused to leave his room
or see anyone.
I'm his grandmother!
Is that the way you would've raised your son?
No, of course not. My son turned out well.
He got into trouble once, but he's a good, respectful kid.
You mean if someone were to call your son a homo,
would you have him move elsewhere
to avoid getting yelled at?
That never happened to us.
Isabel, listen.
-You're Cuban, right? -Yes.
Well, I'm Cuban too.
If your 15-year-old son were to peer out on the balcony
and some neighbors called him names,
would you move out of the neighborhood?
My grandson doesn't want to be with his mother.
He's slept over a ton of times.
Why doesn't he want to be with his mother?
Because he just doesn't.
-He claims his mother... -You're spoiling him, Isabel!
He loves coming over!
What if all this gets to his head?
What if he kills himself?
Are we supposed to just sit around and cry?
Wait until you talk to him.
Hey! Enough.
Okay, alright!
Enough, people.
I'd like to meet your son.
Bring him out alongside Dr. Madeline Hernandez,
Mr. Lucena, and Mrs. Irvin Morales.
Bring everyone out.
Absolutely everyone.
How are you? Good?
Great.
-Go stand next to Grandma. -Come, sweetie.
Oh, God...
If something happens to him, I'll never forgive myself!
What could possibly happen to him?
What?
Teenagers are unpredictable!
Nothing's going to happen to him.
He doesn't want to be with his mother.
He's going to be fine.
Let him stay with me a while!
Grandma, I have a favor to ask you.
Please leave for a second.
Give me a chance to talk to him.
Thank you.
What's going on?
I don't like what my mom did.
What did your mom do?
She told everyone! Everyone found out.
Now everyone calls me a homo.
She didn't tell everyone.
She did what she had to do.
Everything's public these days.
Your generation specializes in making things public...
so don't say your mother made it public.
She called the cops... she did all this stuff.
You mean she wasn't supposed to call the police?
I'd rather get raped than have everyone find out about it.
-They keep calling me names! -What do you care?
I don't want trouble.
Why would you get into trouble?
I'm going to end up fighting these kids.
Why?
Because I hate being called names.
You don't know what that's like.
I've been through far worse, trust me.
I've been through way worse!
And I've dealt with it with dignity!
You're wrong.
It really hurts, you know?
I keep getting called a homo, that I don't like girls.
-Are you a homo? -No.
Then what's the problem?
Having it flung in my face day in and day out.
Just brush it off, then.
Help me out here, please.
What I'm seeing here is,
he wants to be in an environment
where he doesn't have to relive the trauma every day.
He's labeled his father a "good parent"
and his mother a "bad parent."
Right.
He thinks his father
isn't going to make him face his trauma,
which makes him a "good parent."
Unlike his mother, who wants him to undergo treatment
and face reality.
It's a common distortion of reality
exhibited in sexual abuse victims, unfortunately.
I agree, but I also think that because of his trauma,
there's a negative relationship
between him and his mother.
He does need to face his trauma,
but I don't think he should be forced into anything.
He should be allowed to spend a period of time
away from his mother.
This should take place in a therapeutic environment
where he can process the trauma.
What if he couldn't go to his grandma's house?
It isn't a matter of making him tougher,
it's a matter of him overcoming the situation.
I don't quite agree with Dr. Hernandez's advice,
and here's why.
Here we have the case of a lax grandmother.
If she hadn't been so lax,
her son never would've struggled with drugs.
We need to remain aware of that.
I agree.
Secondly, the majority of people stay silent
after undergoing rape or abuse.
They come to realize it much later as adults in therapy.
They didn't have the same support system
to make the abuse public.
Here's the third important point.
He's currently receiving therapy.
That's where he'll learn how to confront the incident
and how to cope with the pain, rage, and frustration.
He needs therapy and a mother that can set limits.
It's necessary.
What's all this about bullying lately?
Everything's considered bullying these days?
Is this truly considered bullying?
Yes, it is.
He's faced with harassment on a daily basis.
But everything's considered bullying these days!
What we'd like to focus on here
isn't the bullying itself.
Is he being bullied or as a man,
does he feel ashamed in feeling vulnerable?
He has a right to feel vulnerable...
but he also has a right to seek structure
and employ mature defense mechanisms
to confront bullying.
That's what's important.
Parental support and psychological support.
Did you get all that?
I did.
I get that she wants to protect me,
but I don't like what she did.
Did you understand what the experts said, though?
I don't want everyone to find out!
This takes time!
I want to live with my dad.
After some time, I'll recover.
I don't want everyone to find out.
You're doing fine with me.
I love you and take good care of you.
Your father loves you, but you can't live with him.
I hate that everyone found out, though!
I'm getting pretty irritated.
Do you know what to do when you get bullied now?
You're telling me to ignore it, right?
Don't ignore it. Defend yourself!
As you should,
not by spouting the nonsense you have been!
Defend yourself with the facts!
Educate yourself so you know what to do in these situations.
Your claim is denied.
I also urge you to cooperate with your son's mother.
I told you.
That's what a father needs to do
in order to properly raise his son.
You're staying with your mother.
Show her respect.
Do what she tells you to do.
I'm going to run away again.
"I'm going to run away to Grandma's house!"
Grow up!
It's final. Case closed.
