We're back and ready to welcome our next case
with a quote by Latin poet Juvenal.
"Bad examples learned at home corrupt us early on."
They're ingrained in the soul with an authoritative force."
That's very true.
Bring out the litigants.
I thought we were finally going to be a family,
but everything has been ruined.
I've always been a man of good and bad.
I just ask that she trust me.
Good afternoon and welcome.
How are you?
Good.
Jenny, you're suing Omar.
You look familiar, Omar.
Yes.
Why is that?
I was here five years ago and now I'm back.
Were you a plaintiff or defendant in that case?
The plaintiff.
These cases repeat themselves
or people repeat their actions,
especially when it comes to family issues.
Jenny, why are you suing Omar
and what do you demand to resolve this case?
Omar is my husband.
I'm here to request a restraining order
and a divorce.
He's teaching my son to become a delinquent.
Your son.
Is it his son too?
He's both of ours.
-How old is he? -Eight.
And you say he's corrupting the child?
Yes.
Explain to me what's going on.
Okay.
I met Omar five years go.
I met Omar five years go.
He was alone with his three-year-old son, Ramses.
Who is this boy?
Yes.
So he's his son.
I've raised him as my own.
But you're not his biological mother.
He's my son.
I've raised him as if he were mine.
Hold on.
Listen.
This is a court of law. We're not fooling around.
You have to speak clearly.
You're his stepmother.
He's your husband's biological child,
but he's not your biological child.
Correct.
You're his stepmother. Tell me what happened.
You met five years ago
We started a relationship and then we moved in together.
Soon after...
he was sent to prison for robbing a store.
He was sentenced to 42 months.
My goodness, must've been armed robbery.
Yes.
That's right.
As his wife, I took the child,
who had a lot of problems...
Allegations have been made against him and his ex.
They used to abuse him.
He had a lot of problems, was doing bad in school,
behavior problems, he would fight with other kids...
Between myself and a teacher at the school,
we got Ramses on the right track.
He went to therapy and got better.
About four months ago this individual was released.
He was released from prison and we spoke.
He said he wanted to get back together
and make everything work.
He said he wouldn't do drugs or steal anymore,
that he'd be a good person.
-He does drugs too? -Yes.
I did drugs, not anymore.
So we gave it a shot.g on
because Ramses has gone back to being
the way he was before.
He was misbehaving, being disrespectful,
and being rude to everyone.
I have two jobs.
When he got out of prison,
he was helping me take care of Ramses.what .
I told him that the teacher called about Ramses bad behavior
and he told me that there was no problem.
He said he didn't notice anything wrong with him.
I said, "Okay, fine."
But since I'm not stupid, I asked for a day off at work
and followed him when he was picking Ramses up from school.
You won't believe what I saw.
-You videotaped it? -Of course.
Let's see.
But...
he's teaching him to steal a car!
I know! That's what I'm saying.
My goodness, Omar, what is this?
I'm not teaching him to steal.
I'm teaching how to survive.
Sweetie, please, this is illegal!
No...
It's illegal, Omar, and you know it!
Don't act stupid with me.
I can't find work. What can I do?
There are plenty of legal things you can do.
How can you teach an eight-year-old boy
how to use a slim jim?
I'm teaching him that because I can't work.
Shut up!
He's 38 years old and has spent 23 of them in prison.
Imagine that.
He's spent more time inside than outside.
I have to teach my son.
Where is this boy's biological mother?
-She died. -She was killed in Puerto Rico.
There was a shootoing and she was killed.
go away.
and get another ten years so he can disappear
from my life and my son's life.
What I'm teaching my son isn't illegal.
I have my business card right here.
I also have here what you saw.
I'm teaching my son so that when I die
or I get life in prison...
Can you explain to me how this man
got into this courtroom with that thing in his pants?
This is my evidence.
How did he get in here with that?
It's not stealing like she thinks it is.
This is my business card.
What are you? A tow truck driver?
-No, but... -He's a thief!
No, I'm not. Don't make me talk.
Omar!
Bring me that.
Let's see what your job is.
Give me that.
"We open cars. All models.
Don't waste your money.
If you lock your keys in your car,
I'll do it for half the price.
-Call Omar." -That's a farce.
Return to your podium.
Let's take a break.
I gave her custody when I went to prison
because I had no one else.
Why did you go to prison for 42 months?
When I first got with her she was a good woman.s bro.
I did what I've always done, which is rob and steal.
I went i
I was able to get some money and that's what she lived off,
but then I went to prison.
Once I was in there I gave her custody of my son.
She wa
She says she had two jobs and lost one,
but I have evidence showing that she's doing
what I used to.
What did you used to do?
I was also told and I have evidence
that she's doing bad things.
I'd like to show you the video first and then explain.
Let's see.
Look at this. She's passed out.
Do you see what you're doing to my son?
Shut up!
Don't touch my face again.
I don't know what that is, ma'am.
I fainted...
I was on drugs for 15 years. I know what that's like.
She's been shooting up and crashed into a pole
with my son in the car.
What drugs are we talking about?
Heroin with fentanyl.
I don't know what he's talking about.
That's a lie.
When she crashed into that pole,
my friend called me over.
I went there and saw her slouched over.
They were going to call 911,
but my son said to call me instead.
He knows I was on drugs too.
He's very smart.
When I got to the car, she was overdosing.
-That's a lie. -The syringe was on the floor.
I asked someone for milk so I could give her 20 CCs
so she would wake up because she was high.
Milk helps people who are overdosing on heroin?
Yes.
That's a lie.
Is this real heroin
or that synthetic heroin that's going around called fentanyl?
They mix it with fentanyl.
That's what she took and why she crashed into a pole.
She's acting all innocent, but she's not.
Jenny...
do you use drugs?
No.
That scenario looks a lot like this one,
which is all over the Internet.
I don't know what to tell you.
It looks so similar.
Plus, you have certain tics and mannerisms
that make me wonder.
-Do you do drugs? -No.
Yes, she does! Test her and you'll see.
She was high just last night.
That's not true.
How do you feel when you do that drug?
Thankfully, since you helped me five years ago,
I've turned my life around.
My only mistake was the robbery that sent me to prison.
That's not a mistake. It's a crime.
Tell me how it feels to be on that drug.
Why do people do that?
Some people like it the first time and others don't.
I liked it and was on it 15 years, but I'm clean now.
I was clean when I met her and started a new life.
I got off the drugs and she got on them.
Is that drug only used intravenously?
It can be injected, snorted, smoked, or however.
So there are several ways to consume it.
Yes.
-Do you have a witness? -Yes.
Let's bring in the plaintiff's witness.
I never want to see you again.
That poor boy.
Who knows what else she's crashed into?
Good afternoon.
What's your name?
Iyevi.
I'm Ramses' teacher.
You're the boy's teacher.
Yes.
He was very disoriented when he first started with me.
You could tell he had been abused.
Jenny and I worked together.
I'd say our efforts were very fruitful.
The boy started acting differently.
His behavior improved.
It was easier to deal with him.
He had better relationships with the other kids.
When Jenny's husband was released from prison, though,
I noticed that the boy regressed.
So I called her and explained what was going on.
It caught my attention when my key got locked in my car
and Ramses knew exactly what to do.
The car wasn't completely locked,
but he knew exactly what to do.
To my understanding,
he's not teaching the boy anything positive.
He helped her open the car, though.
You have a witness, right?
Yes.
Let's bring in the defendant's witness please.
Have you ever noticed anything worrisome
about her behavior?
I've had contact with her
and have been around her many times.
She's always been present.
I haven't noticed anything different,
not like what I've heard here.
-Hello, what's your name? -Hello, I'm Jose.
You're here to support Omar.
Yes.
How do you know him?
Since we were kids on the street.
Okay, great.
What have you come to say?
I came to say something good about him
and something bad about her.
Omar hasn't done drugs in a long time.
You're a criminal too.
He's doing things right.
Sure, he may not be a tow truck driver, but he's trying.
He's not going to find a regular job with his record.
I know.
He has a really bad record.
I'm the one who helped him make his business cards
so he could pass them out and make some money.
Now, his wife has really, really lost it.
I don't do that stuff, but I know people
and they tell me she's doing that.
I didn't believe it at first,
but then I saw it with my own eyes.
It's true.
She's been seen copping in Overtown.
-Oh, buying drugs. -Yes.
People have told me.
-Have you seen it? -Yes.
You've seen her...
Going into drug houses.
I'm going to bring in the boy with Dr. Madeline Hernandez.
Tell Dr. Moises Irizarry to come in too, please.
Hi, Ramses.
How are you?
Good.
May I give you a kiss?
You're eight, right?
Do you like school?
You do?
What's your favorite subject?
You like science. That's great.
Yes, ma'am.
He tells me he wants to live with me all the time.
I tell him I can't right now.
We talk a lot.
Can't you?
I have my own family, ma'am.
He needs his family.
I'd like to, but it's hard.
He knows he can come over whenever he wants.
I give him lots of love, but I have small children.
What do you want?
Take care of yourself.
Ma'am, let's talk about this drug.
It's an epidemic.
We're talking about heroin and synthetic heroin,
which is fentanyl.
Let's talk about this.
What is it?
Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that's used
as an anesthetic for certain types of surgeries.
It must be used in very small amounts
for a short amount of time because it causes
severe drowsiness.
It's potent, but short lasting.
It's about 100 times more potent than heroin,
therefore more addictive.
Because of its potency and high concentration
it must be diluted and administered
with special machinery and monitors
because it's very easy to overdose on this drug.
How can you escape an addiction like this?
With a powerful drug like this,
you need to be hospitalized.
Other medications must be administered to counter
the withdrawal symptoms.
We're almost always talking about 30 to 90 days
of intense treatment.
Even with all that, there's no guarantee
that the person won't relapse.
Using this drug for even a short amout of time
can cause addiction.
It doesn't have to be long term.
My ruling.
I grant your divorce.
This marriage is irreparably broken.
As for Ramses, he's staying here today.
I'm going to call the Department of Children and Families.
I'm going to try to grant him his wish.
He wants parents who are healthy,
who can take care of him, who worry about him,
and who can give him a happy life.
You're so lucky I didn't call the police.
Otherwise, you'd leave here in handcuffs.
You especially.
That's my ruling. It'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.
