After Bea witnessed the second degree burns on her two year old's hands. She immediately turned to child protective service's office on Ulmerton road in Clearwater and demanded that she speak to the CPI Marc's supervisor.
Supervisor: "If you want to report it then you would have to call the Florida abuse hotline. "
Bea: "Why can't I report it with you right now? I have the pictures right here and there is already a case opened.
Supervisor: "The case is to be closed soon.,
Bea: "Abuse is still happening to them!" Bea argued.
Supervisor: " You need to make another report. The case will be transferring over to Ekkerd Community Services and you can discuss your matter with them. "
Bea: I told her, "Are you not child protective service's? Is it NOT your job to make sure my boys are not being abused or neglected? So why don't you do your fucking job then."
This business with the authorities was very traumatizing to Bea, because nobody seemed to care about her children's welfare except for Bea it seemed, and at the same time they were trying to make her look unfit, when she was in fact the only person trying to protect the boys.
Bea needed a group, or people who could understand what she was going through. RCS referred Bea to a battered womens group. She was one of the first to arrive. Her phone was dead and she needed to make that call to the Florida abuse hotline. There was another woman in the group that was nice enough to let Bea use her phone. Bea started making the call while in group so she could get advice as what to do. It was the first time she had ever made a report to the hotline. She was quite nervous and frantic so she stepped out into the hallway as not to cause a disturbance to the group.
Bea told the reporter what her children had told her during their last supervised visit with the PCSO. That Bea had proof and a witness from the Sheriffs department. Bea texted Caroline, the Child Protective Services officer, and asked her kindly to explain what she overheard Bea's son tell her about how he got all those marks on his body.
Do you know what was done after Bea made that report?
Absolutely nothing.
Nobody came to see the evidence Bea held in her possession of her two year old with second degree burns on his chubby little hands.
Nobody questioned Bea's 9 year old son.
Caroline didn't even answer her text's.
What they did do was take Bea to court and persecute her further for hearsay.
When Bea addressed the judge in court about her child being neglected Judge Moore just shook her head and addressed the department, "Is this true?"
Marc Meredith's response was to cover it up because he knew it had been 3 weeks, and he could get away with lying, for the marks were healed by now. He completely discredited Bea in front of the judge by telling her,
CPI: "It is just a blister and cold sore your honor."
Once again, he made it seem like the mark's on Bea's baby were normal.
Bea rant: "I'm sorry but a grown woman grabbing my 2 year old son by his face and leaving scratches on either side of his face and a huge gouge under his chin, were not superficial scar's. The blisters on his hand were caused by my two year old not being supervised properly and him touching something hot like an oven. My 9 year old witnessed my 2 year old fall off of the top of a bunk bed onto his face, which is a very traumatic brain injury, and was never brought to the hospital.
Once again Marc Meredith would rather fluff it off and make assumptions to say that it was a cold sore. What I really want to know is, who is kissing my son on the lips with the herpes virus then? I really need to get a lawyer and hold this man in contempt, but I have yet to be able to afford one, his day will come. I won't be broke forever."
Bea demanded that both of her children have cat scans due to neglect and abuse. The judge ordered the department to handle these issue's, but instead Bea's requests were totally dismissed by the Department, and nothing was resolved. It has been two long year's of this kind of treatment. Bea has given up all hope with getting the authorities involved. It is pretty much unethical, biased, neglect to the mankind.
Then Bea was appointed an attorney through the court. She discussed her case with him. She asked him to be present when she spoke with Lutheran Family Services (LFS). The court appointed attorney did not attend, so Bea got permission to record her meeting with Michelle Forrester and her supervisor Alicia Perelli. Bea spilled the beans to them about everything, her husbands history of abuse and neglect. The harrassment conspiracy. LFS promised Bea a bunch of bullshit that to this day never happened. They told Bea that her husband and his mistress were getting background checks and drug tested. Bea asked for the results and never got them. Never got to see her kid's medical reports or educational reports that were promised to her either. Everything was a setup from the start. All that was promised from the department to her was not granted. She even filed grievances to the department, with no resolution. When she asked for copies they could not locate any of the grievances she reported. So, Bea made a very lengthy papertrail to follow. It served Bea no use. All of it was fluff.
Just to prove it to you, let us revert back to a job application seen for LFS that will blow your mind.
The LFS business model responds to a rapidly changing service landscape with an aggressive growth strategy. That growth is predicated on methodical pursuit of entrepreneurial opportunities and the maintenance of a new program "pipeline."
(Translation: we are a title lV organization that is getting funding from the federal government to use children as commodities.)
LFS provides value by developing and competently deploying efficient organizational structures; effective operative policies and procedures; accountable management systems and processes; and expertise in the form of personal strategic alliances or purchased services.
(Translation: Title lV is the only funding available which is through a father's grant. So it really doesn't matter if the father is an alcoholic, abusive, and neglectful pedofile. If the mother is a sweet defenseless battered woman, LFS mission will be to strategically pin the mother as mentally ill and the father as a saint to get their federal funding and that money trickling into their pockets. All these children and parent's are falling into this scandalous pit and LSF is feeding off of these poor innocent people's pain and suffering. It is not right!)
We have over 60 programs throughout Florida, an operating budget of over $210 million dollars and 1,400 employees. Our head start programs are in multiple counties throughout Florida providing multiple program options including center base, family childcare, home base, pregnant mother's, infants and toddler's.
(Translation: This is just a small chunk of money we get. The federal government is currently providing the USA an 800 billion dollar industry by human trafficking our children and alienating them from their biological parents and this is an injustice to Americans. Constantly I hear legal advocates say that it is a broken system. Well I refuse to accept that because my children's lives are on the line. It is a shame that organizations like this are getting away with this sort of biased discrimination, it is not to be acceptable.)
MISSION: Lutheran Services Florida serves to bring Gods healing, hope, and help to people in need in the name of Jesus Christ.
(Woah! You better leave my God and savior out of your equation. In my time of need I cried out for help to LFS and EKKERD that my children were being neglected and abused. That I also was dealing with the repercussions of physical abuse, and not one of their 1,400 employees would help us. God is outraged by this blaspheming organization that is taking advantage of very vulnerable people and destroying their faith in him. Jesus Christ always commanded children to honor thy mother and father and all LFS is doing is turning children against their parents.)
VISION: LFS sees itself and its employees as called and committed servants of Christ by serving the needy, the frail, and the powerless with integrity, faith, love, and kindness in order to change lives, restore dignity, work for Justice and bring healing, hope, and help.
(This sounds too good to be true, because it is. Although it is a very hopeful message, and I believe this is what SHOULD be happening, in my case it did Not. It did NOT apply with many other parents either who feel their national human rights are currently being violated. My children's healing, hope, and help was never granted LFS. My children are in a living hell, so when exactly does the justice come into play? We have been tortured for 13 years now.)
LFS is a leader in the state of Florida in providing human service's.
(Why did you not help my family? All you did was help cover up abuse and neglect, which violates the Vulnerable Person's Act. I have a degree in Social Science and Education. I am disabled and in recovery from battered woman's syndrome, and you did not help me with my recovery, actually LFS set me up to fail. When I mean fail, it means to kill myself. That is usually what happens to hopeless cases, but I am stronger than most you better believe it, because I am coming back with a vengence to change ALL outcome's. )
VALUES: We derive our basic values from a biblical understanding of loving creative and redemptive activity in Christ Jesus.
We seek partnerships with congregation to serve people in need.
We recognize that no one agency or group could be fully effective alone: and we therefore seek relationships with other faith based organizations and/ or community- based organizations with similiar missions.
We do not discriminate in the provisions of services.
(DISCRIMINATE: Sorry but I have to address this. Having one official, form a biased opinion of a client, and pass it through the grapevine to defile your good name, is discrimination. That is what Lutheran Services Florida did to me, and when I wrote a grievance about the way I was being treated, they assigned my case over to Ekkerd Community Services with the same worker and treatment. Nothing changed but the name.)
We do not discriminate in hiring: we seek staff members who are culturally competent and committed to serving other's. We intentionally seek former clients capable of joining our staff; and we encourage promotion from within.
We believe that our success should be evaluated by our ability to serve those in need and change their lives for the better.
(I could work for LSF but I don't trust this organization to be true to their message they are feeding people. The way I was treated was by far Christianly. If they were truly looking out for my children's best interests, they would have tried harder to reunify us, and had someone conduct well checks that believed there was a threat involved. Now it is determined that LSF knows what is better for my kid's? Try living with my kid's, and you shall see how you served them, and when one of them becomes disabled, I can thank social worker Eric Zacardi for his choice in placement, and not recognizing all the signs of abuse in my children, because they are all sadly there.)
We want employees that love serving our families, LFS: love, faith, service.
Well, LFS, your employee's did not love serving Bea, a battered disabled woman pleading for her children's lives that were recently placed with their abuser. Actually you chose not to acknowledge a GOD damned thing. If anything, ALL the people from the department of children and families and down to your organization turned a blind eyes cheek to our situation. This is what a wrongfully persecuted, and overly concerned mother advocating for the best interest of her dearly beloved children look's like. Bea went above and beyond to remediate their trauma with no resolution, unfortunately.
Dear Mrs. King,
Please follow up and make sure my son Saul Sanchez Jr. attends his speech therapy session this Wednesday at 8:30 am at All Children's outpatient center in Palm Harbor. I have been trying desperately for 2 years to get Jr speech therapy through their network. It has been difficult because their waiting list was so long and Jr's language development has been delayed due to lack of this service. He already had an evaluation done over a year ago, and sailed through the oral feeding therapy with Becky, but we missed many sessions due to chronic illness in our family, lack of money, lack of transportation, and Saul flying off to Nicaragua with Jr for a whole month. Jr ended up getting bumped to the bottom of this list.
When Jr came back from Nicaragua his behavior worsened and his development regressed a lot. He came back unbalanced and falling, hitting a lot, and sick. Marriane from Early Steps witnessed Jr's aggressive behavior and suggested Jr was a good candidate for the FDLRS program for children who are developmentally delayed, and they offer speech therapy inclusive services as well. Belcher Elementary is a title 1 school, and offered this program at the same school that his older brother Pat had been attending since kindergarten. My original plan was to have Jr and Pat attend that same school together so they could get their special needs services met. Pat needed to be reevaluated for the gifted program.
When I brought this to my husband's attention he refused to listen, and just blocks me by doing what he wants, not even taking into consideration the children's best interests. He has switched Pat's school 4 times, and put Jr into daycare instead of a head start program to help his delayed development. I almost had Jr completely potty trained, and now he is afraid to even try. Jr was crawling at 6 months, and walking, recognizing, and repeating his colors at 9 months, and now he don't even know them, let alone saying them. This really concerns me. Something is seriously wrong. Either he is confused due to head trauma, or his cognitive development is delayed and/or deteriorating. He needs to continue being tested and monitoring challenges so he can catch up on his development.
Also, Jr had his adnoids removed, and tube's placed in his ears to correct his hearing. He needs to have his ears monitored closely to make sure his tubes are in place and that he is not developing any ear infections that may result into encephalitis.
Jr has been diagnosed with asthma for he has allergies too, but his breathing problems are a result to the cold, mold, humidity, and smoke. He develops upper respiratory problems easily and has to have his nebulizer treatments when he starts to cough or wheeze. Last time I saw him he was coughing and breathing heavy, and that is how I know Saul is neglecting to give Jr his treatments because I saw that he never had the patience to administer it before. I gave Saul Jr's inhaler in case of an asthma attack. I suggest that the daycare administer Jr's nebulizer treatments since they see him more and have personnel that are more patient and qualified to administer his treatments. That is of course if my husband has even attained a nebulizer for him or medicine through his pediatrician at CMS. Jr needs a follow up with Dr. Condino his Gastroentologist at Countryside Mease hospital. Besides being lactose intolerant Jr may benefit from a gluten free diet.
Sincerely, Mrs. Sanchez
RESPONSE
Thanks Ms. Sanchez, I will differ to Sarah E for a response.
Bea attended the speech therapy appointment at All Children's Outpatient. When she arrived at this appointment nobody showed but herself. Bea has text messages from Saul addressing that he was aware of this appointment and yet he never brought him. This also occurred with Bea's other son, whom he stopped taking to his psychiatrist and therapy visits. Bea's son needs his meds to concentrate in class because he has been diagnosed with ADHD.
These are the texts that were concluded after she was butt dialed by Saul. Mi Mi and Saul got into an altercation over the phone and could hear her children crying in the background, so yes she called the police because she knew Saul was drunk.
PCSO - INCIDENT SO15-398073
Report Date: 09/13/2015
I responded to the listed location in reference to a possible domestic disturbance. While en route, the call
notes stated that the caller, Bea Sanchez, stated that she heard yelling and screaming over the phone while speaking to one of the residents and was concerned.
I made contact Saul Sanchez and Mi Mi Whoreman at the location. Mi Mi told me that she was upset with Saul because
he was trying to leave the house to meet his ex-wife down the street and she did not feel it was appropriate. Mi Mi advised nothing physical occurred and it was an argument only between the two of them.
Saul also stated that there was a verbal argument only and that nothing physical occurred. Saul told me Bea is his
soon to be ex-wife and she has been trying to get him in trouble because they are going through a divorce that involves child custody issues. Saul told me that Bea sent him a text, called him at an inappropriate time to meet him, and Mi Mi got upset about this. Saul further told me that Bea doesn't like Mi Mi because he left Bea for her.
While speaking with both parties, I observed nothing that would suggest that a struggle occurred and neither had any injuries. There were two children in the house that were woken up by my knocking on the door, but they quickly returned to bed.
I made phone contact with Bea and relayed that nothing physical occurred and they were arguing about her contacting Saul at such a late hour. Bea told me she was just concerned because Saul can allegedly be violent.
Bea was not on scene and I suggested she no longer call at such a late hour. I advised Saul of this information and departed
the scene.
A wants and warrants check was completed with negative results. No further action.
Disposition: Case Closed; Solved Non-Criminal.
Bea's rant: ..............................................................................BTW SAUL THIS HAPPENED ALMOST 2 YEARS AGO, AND I AM STILL YOUR WIFE UNTIL YOU EITHER PAY FOR AN OFFICIAL DIVORCE, OR A JUDGE HANDS ME A CERTIFICATE STATING WE ARE NO LONGER MARRIED IDIOT. SO YOU CAN KEEP LYING TO EVERYONE, TELLING YOURSELF THE LIE, SPREADING YOUR SEED AROUND, HAVING AS MANY CHILDREN OUT OF WEDLOCK AS YOU WANT, AND ACT AS IF I NEVER EXISTED.
AT THE END OF THE DAY YOUR STILL MY HUSBAND UNTIL THE DIVORCE CERTIFICATE IS PLACED PRESUMPTUOUSLY IN THIS MOTHER'S HAND. MY KIDS AND I SHOULD HAVE BEEN PUT FIRST.
GET OVER YOURSELF. I DON'T HATE MI MI AT ALL, ACTUALLY I AM GRATEFUL THAT SHE IS THERE FOR MY KIDS BECAUSE GOD ONLY KNOWS THAT YOU ARE NOT.
MY POOR BABY'S....... I AM THANKFUL THAT SHE ENDED UP WITH YOU, SERVES HER RIGHT FOR CHEATING AROUND WITH A MARRIED MAN. ONCE THAT HAPPENED I STOPPED BEING THE ONLY ONE IN THE RELATIONSHIP TRYING SO HARD TO SALVAGE IT. I LEARNED MY LESSON FINALLY AND BEGAN TO REALIZE THAT IT WAS ALREADY BUILT ON A FAULTY FOUNDATION TO BEGIN WITH. SO GOOD RIDDANCE, I GIVE HIM TO YOU, LIKE I TOLD YOU BEFORE GOOD LUCK WITH THAT. LUCK IS WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO NEED TO MAKE THAT RELATIONSHIP WORK. I KNOW MY CHILDREN AND I DESERVE MUCH BETTER, AND THAT IS WHY I TOLD HIM TO KICK ROCKS BECAUSE I FINALLY WOKE UP.
SAUL, DON'T GET IT TWISTED. YOU NEED TO STOP CONSTANTLY TRYING TO CONFUSE PEOPLE AND MESS WITH OUR HEADS. I HAVE PROOF THAT YOUR A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR AND A CON ARTIST. LIKE YOU LIED TO THE POLICE OFFICER THAT NIGHT. YOU WERE TEXTING ME AND CALLING ME THAT NIGHT AT AN INAPPROPRIATE TIME, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND LIKE YOU CLAIM. POLICE REPORTS AND PHONE RECORDS DO NOT LIE, AND NEITHER DO TEXT MESSAGES.
LAST TIME I CHECKED, A WIFE TRYING TO CONTACT HER HUSBAND TO COMMUNICATE WHAT SHOULD BE WITHIN THE BEST INTERESTS OF HER KID'S IS NOT HARRASMENT MI MI. CUTTING THE MOTHER OFF AND NOT ALLOWING HER TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH HER CHILDREN IS PARENTAL ALIENATING.
Hi Sara E Miller,
I just want you to know that I have made several attempts to contact you by phone and this is my first attempt by email. The only way I have been able to speak with you is by unannounced visits to the office, which I do apologize for being a nuisance. It seems to be the only way I can get your attention, and thus far have not seen any results. I hope this is your proper email, for you wrote it on a piece of scrap paper when I spoke with you for the first time back in October.
I must admit that I do feel embarrassed and offended by the results of these proceedings, and the demeaning treatment I have received by your case worker Eric Zacardi. It appears that I am being mislead and discriminated against. The needs and welfare of my children are currently not being met. I have been educated and trained to acknowledge the warning signs and health defects of children who are being abused, and I am surprised that your company cannot see that my children are critically in need of medical services. If you are not aware by now then I advise you to pick another field of service. I don't mean to be harsh, but I have a BA degree in Social Science and Education from Ashford University and now not able to get a job in my career due to false allegations of neglect when all I did was call the authorities to help me protect my children. I am extremely displeased to how the authorities handled this crisis situation. My emotions got the better of me because it seems like nobody wants to do their due diligence.
Besides all of that I have so much swelling in my front temple lobe due to the constant blow's to my head over the past 11 years. I am in constant mental anguish because I fear that my children are still suffering by our abuser. The time's that I have seen them they have shown signs of abuse and neglect. Why is no one in your organization doing anything about this? I just want to point that out, and I do have some evidence that I need you to review.
First, I would like to make a request to have my case transferred to Directions For Living because they were involved prior to all this, and have strong evidence to the abuse my oldest son has endured. Plus, I have filed many grievances, both on EKKERD and LFS. I have not had any success on these matters being resolved, or having anyone contact me regarding these issues.
These organizations are not providing the safety that my children and I need right now. If someone did their investigation properly they would have found that Pat's therapist Karla Aguilu, Psy., through Directions for Mental Health, Inc. back on 04/20/2012 made a mandated report on my husband, that he hit my son with a belt. At the time my son was only 5 years old, talking about running away, and wanting to die by getting beaten to death. CPS investigation case now closed case #12-004169.
CPI worker Casey Wilcox needs to reopen the case. For when the authorities questioned me, I had lied to the police, for I did see my husband hit my child with the belt, restrain them, and lock them in their rooms, and he verbally threatened us. That is why I did not say anything, because he threatened our lives by telling Pat he was going to throw him in Allens Creek and feed him to the alligator's, and he would kidnap my kid's so I would never see them again.
The only reason why my kid's have hit other's, is because they learned it from Saul. The last memory I have of my husband is when he sexually assaulted me in front of my two year old. I cried the whole time. My children are probably in fear to admit anything because they are afraid of what Saul might do to them. I am pretty sure after all that has transpired that my kid's have no trust in the authorities because they have not believed in them, or done their due diligence in keeping us safe from Saul. I can't say that his threats were not lies because everything he has threatened to do to me he has done, besides kill me and my children as of yet.
He left me, his wife, while I was disabled, homeless, indigent, emotionally, mentally, and physically bruised. He basically is getting away with it by telling everybody that I am deluded for retaliating. Honestly, I don't want anything, but to keep my kid's safe from him. Now I am dealing with the repercussions of the 11 years of ongoing abuse. I have chronic medical health conditions that I will need ongoing care for the rest of my life, which makes things extremely hard for me to focus on work. I am going to have to leave Florida to attain the medical attention I deserve because I've been unable to afford health insurance. DCF has revoked my health insurance now that I have lost custody of my kid's. I may end up deaf, blind, or in a coma if I don't seek medical attention soon. I just want to see my babies before I go. For it may be the last time that they ever see me again. If you're able to make that happen I would greatly appreciate it.
Eric Z has only made an effort to stonewalling me from seeing or talking to my boys, except for when it was ordered by the judge. Even then he broke my mom and I down, threatening to not let us see them at all, and abusing his authority by withholding my niece from going to use the bathroom, just going above to try and break our heart's and spirits. Oppressiveness.
My husband sure was smart and set me up good. I came to find out that I am not the only woman he has abused. One of his other baby's mama's in Boston MA has a restraining order on him for assault and battery, and was successful of ridding him from her life in time before he was able to get his clutches on her baby. Her name was Britt Williams.
I understand this information is very personal, and I am embarrassed beyond belief that my life has succumbed to all this. I left my husband knowing that the truth had to be told before the rapid deterioration of my psyche began to take its toll on me due to all this trauma.
This has been a warning sign of what my children are now up against. I am just trying to save them from our tormentors, but I am outnumbered, alienated, and why doesn't somebody help us? So what else is a loving mother to do? I am just doing everything in my power to not go down fighting.
If I never get to see my babies again, please tell them that I love them with all my heart, and that I never gave up trying to protect them. Also, that I am sorry that I didn't do something sooner.
I love the BeBe and the Boo Boo a whole bunch, to infinity and beyond.
Mrs. B. Sanchez

Family Partnerships was a joke. Bea called and left messages for week's and nobody called her back. Bea even went to their location and it was shut down and closed up. Bea had one of the advocates at CASA try to reach out too, and she asked him..
Bea: Why can't you just supervise my visits at the domestic violence shelter?
Advocate: They used to, but now due to cutbacks in funding we cannot.
The only way Bea was finally able to get through was to blast up their page on facebook. Honestly, getting a supervised visit with her children should not be this difficult, especially when family partnerships are advocates for reunification.
Two month's lator Bea finally saw her kid's. It was an extremely awkward sterile environment with some lady crouching in the corner on her computer. While in the visit Bea checked her children for marks and noticed a rash on her baby's back, and that his nails were not well kept. Bea pointed this out to the lady, but she showed no concern or interest in the matter, and Bea was not able to take a picture for was not allowed to bring her phone in. So basically once again she was being forced in another predicament where she could not do anything to protect her children from being neglected, and the children were so confused. They could not understand what was going on, and Bea had no idea what to tell them because not even she understood what was happening. All she knew was that their human rights were being totally violated and there was no way she was going to accept it. At the end of the visit Bea said goodbye to her boys, and it hurt her so bad she wept as soon as they left. Afterwards, Bea was asked to read the family partnerships rule's/regulations and she just could not accept them. She felt so violated. She refused to be treated like a criminal when she knew she wasn't one. It insulted her, because she really was a loving mother; Bea thought she has done nothing wrong and she should be treated with dignity.
Bea refused to ever go back there. The whole process was demeaning for both her and her children. How can they even call that place a family partnership? More like invasion of family. All they really needed was some time at the park once a week, but her husband always refused to cooperate, like he always does, and she didn't have no one else to supervise her visits. She was all alone.
(Perhaps I was naive to think someone could show compassion for our situation. That was not expressed, and most likely none of them could relate. I have grown in faith with my GOD, for this essence was all I had to cope with the PTSD when dealing with the reality of the corruption in our flawed system. The services that were applied were fixed to work against me and provided only for my husband; who never offered me anything but a garage to sleep in because he knew I was homeless. Which, was just another setup to abuse me. He continued his controling nature by misleading me with false hope. The scandalous lie's and deceit carried on and will continue as long as he is involved in our lives. LFS and Ekkerd knew I was homeless and provided me with a resource manual with other services that led me astray and in circle's getting nowhere. I had to go to CASA so I could have clothes, food, and a roof over my head. I did meet one compassionate social worker that cared enough to listen.)
Hi Mrs. King,
I am disabled with epilepsy, suffering from financial hardship, and I am in fear for my life stepping foot in Pinellas County for my husband has made threat's that he is trying to out my life. Please change my visitation to Hillsborough County so I can see my kid's please. I don't mind doing my supervised visits there, or if you can do them at the Spring because that is where I am currently residing. See my husband has repeatedly hurt me and my kid's for the past decade and I really can't let my kids be tortured any longer. My children need their mother and we need support and safety.
I have met all your requirements and thensome. The paperwork is sitting at the 6th judicial circuit courthouse on 49th Street since our last trial date. I have the parenting certificate. I have everything. I have the police reports, picture's of the mark's and bruises. The injunctions of protection that were not granted in protecting us, and I am trying to grant an emergency court order to protect us because this is not right.
I need you to know that my kid's are more than safe in my care. I have plenty of support here at the shelter and I can protect them, and we can get the care we need. My husband may have made me disabled and challenged due to all his neglect and abuse, but I will be damned if you or I allow this to be done to my babies. History should not have to repeat itself with Jr.
Please make sure he does not flee the country with my kids. He knows he is going down. Please make sure he does not take my baby with him. He has a warrant for his arrest in N.H., what did he do? Flee. Now he owes the IRS, and 3rd felony for DWSL, 2ND DUI in the State of Florida, another in N.H. What did he do? Flee. Assault and battery charges with a restraining order stacked up against him by Britt William his first victim in Suffolk County MA, whom he has a child with and refuses to see or support.
Just like he didn't support us and that is why I left him. He refused to protect us, he chose to belittle us and constantly kept us in poverty and put us in harms way with his reckless behavior. Yeah, sure he was working but never did I or the boys see any of that money. He hoarded money to go on useless trips or to send money to his parents in Nicaragua.
Everything that my kid's had was because my family and I got it for them. Now they are dressed like bums in clothes that are too small for them, dirty nails, and ears, not getting therapy, or their annual check ups, or seeing any of their specialists for their chronic health problems.
All because one of your higher ups did not do his due diligence and take my allegations seriously. After my poor defenseless two year old had been assaulted by an ex convicted felon that was crazy enough to bite her own husbands nose off. CPI sided with her instead of an overprotective mother, then started covering up his mistakes with her lies, then retires passing his mess onto you.
In which you have not done anything to stop the abuse that is happening right under your own nose's on your watch. Actually what CPS chose to do is ignore it, which in turn justifies that you can ignore it as well. Any person within an organization that knowingly suspects child abuse and does not report it is in penalty of a 1,000,000 fine. I believe Rick Scott was justified in starting this Vulnerable Person's Act, and this situation constitues as such.
Now I have written several grievances about your organization, and have filed an appeal with the 2nd District Court of Appeal. All paperwork and copies are justifiably in order and because personal injury has been inflicted upon both the children and I, and nothing justifiably has been done about it.
I pray you do make necessary accommodations for us to seek the help we so desperately need to get us away from our abusers, and finally be free, happy, healthy, and thriving. Please call me for I need a response in knowing that this matter is being handled. (727)557-9921. Please help us.

Ms. Sanchez,
I have read and received your emails. It’s my understanding that visitation has been canceled several times due to the visits not being confirmed the day before. I understand that there is a visit set for Friday. I understand court is 2/1 to address visitation.
I will echo what Sarah Miller had told you previously, if you are being physically hurt or are in any type of danger—please call 911. Your safety is of grave concern.
Thank you,

It was addressed in court and the judge agreed to accomodating Bea with weekly supervised visits at the Children's Justice Center in Hillsborough County, whom has been waiting for the referral by the Eckerd Community Service social worker, which never got sent.
At this precise time Bea had filed for divorce in Hillsborough County because they showed her more respect than Pinellas County and she felt safer.
Judge Moore agreed for a neurological psychological Evaluation to be conducted, and when Bea made all the arrangements with a doctor, Eric Zaccardi totally dismissed her and made no attempt to send any referral to the doctor to cover this procedure.
The department failed to comply with referrals, changed Bea's court date before the judge only to then notify her the day before the hearing, so she was not able to be present to defend herself once they lied to the judge that she was not complying, when clearly the department was not in compliance with the judge's order's.
My proof? After Eric Zacardi refused to accept Bea's paperwork. She went and filed it all with the court herself that very day. Check the court file and see when it was date stamped. Just in case you try anything DCF Bea already took a picture of everything in that file and time stamped it and have backup. All she needed was support for her kids and for them to feel and be safe. Now she just does not trust that her kid's will ever be safe after all that has happened.
When she tried to hand her records over, including the vague carbon copy referrals that Eric Zaccardi reluctantly, in a state of annoyance had written right in front of her. Once she demanded her case plan from him, that was all that was given? No doctor's number's, no addresses, no choices, just a piece of paper scribbled on it, "Must conduct psych eval." When Bea addressed to him that she had already done that, and the judge was willing to accept that, that judge Moore suggested a nuero psych eval, and he told Bea that she needed to get a more recent psych eval.
The social worker totally dismissed the judge's order's and led Bea in circle's into a state of insanity, as to appear that she may be insane. When she tried to hand in the records of compliance to him he refused to accept them, undermined her completely by talking at her with a condescending tone from the moment they met, and even after Bea addressed these issue's with his supervisor through many grievances she was still being forced to go through him to have any relations with her children. I am pretty confidant that Eric Zaccardi was the one who convinced Bea's husband that their children need not to have any relations with her, their mother, because once he bacame involved Bea was no longer able to communicate with her baby's.
Bea:
INSTEAD OF ACCOMODATING ME, A WOMAN SUFFERING FROM SEVERAL TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURIES DUE TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, AND HELPING ME SEE MY KID'S SAFELY, LSF MADE MY CASE TASKS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE AND POSTPONED MY VISITATION.
LSF COOBERATED WITH MY COURT APPOINTED ATTORNEY INTO CHANGING MY COURT DATE THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY SCHEDULED FOR 2/2/16 WITH THE GENERAL MAGISTRATE TO 2/1/16, WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE OR CONSENT, MISLEADING ME FROM DEFENDING MYSELF, AND LIED BEFORE THE JUDGE TO HAVE MY VISITATION REDUCED SO THEY COULD RID THEMSELVES OF HAVING TO DEAL WITH ME.
THAT'S JUST NOT RIGHT, TAKING ADVANTAGE OF A VULNERABLE, DISABLED, AND LOVING MOTHER. I WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND AS A MOTHER TO COMPLY. I EVEN VOLUNTARILY ADMITTED MYSELF INTO A PSYCH UNIT TO COMPLY WITH THIS COURT ORDERED PSYCH EVAL BECAUSE I COULDN'T AFFORD IT, THAT HAD TO BE MY ONLY OPTION.
WHILE I WAS IN THERE THE DEPARTMENT TOOK ADVANTAGE AGAIN BEFORE THE JUDGE TO SPREAD LIE'S, AND I PLEADED OVER THE PHONE TO MOORE THAT MY CHILDREN ARE IN DANGER. AND THE DEPARTMENT HAS DISMISSED MY PLEAS COMPLETELY.
I BELIEVE THIS HAS BEEN A MAJOR INTERFERENCE WITH KNOWING WHERE MY KID'S ARE TODAY AND IF MY BOYS ARE SAFE.
LSF IS A TRAP TO KEEP KID'S AT BAY FROM THEIR LOVING PARENT'S. THEN YOU WONDER WHY SO MANY TEENAGERS TURN TO DRUGS AND COMMIT SUICIDE? BECAUSE WE HAVE ORGANIZATIONS LIKE THIS MANIPULATING THEM TO BELIEVE THEY ARE NOT WORTH ANYONES TIME OR LOVE. WHEN IN REALTY THE TRUTH IS ,THAT THE LOVE IS BEING KEPT ESTRANGED FROM EACHOTHER TO SURPRESS HUMANKIND AND CONTINUE TO KILL THE AMERICAN DREAM LOSING ALL HOPE IN THE FUNDAMENTAL VALUE'S OF FAMILY ETHICS, AND MORALS.
Hi Ms. Sanchez,
I am following with an e-mail as per our conversation via phone today. As I indicated during our conversation, there was a court hearing today that you were not in attendance and I wanted to advise you of the court proceedings. Judge Moore has changed your visits to one time per month at the EKKERD office. You must call the day before the visitation prior to 12pm to confirm the visitation or it is canceled as per court order. I understand that your attorney Sara McClain and I urge you to call her for follow-up as I understand from our conversation that you are not satisfied with the visitation change I have scheduled the next 3 visits for you so there is no confusion. 2/12/16 from 3-4pm 3/11/16 from 3-4pm 4/15/16 from 3-4pm Thank You Sara E. Miller

Don't they believe that children deserve to be protected, nurtured, and loved by their mother's?
Bea:
My children deserve the right to be loved! They should not continue to be neglected and abused. What is wrong with ALL you people who are in power? How can you allow this to continue? My children DO matter to me, they may not matter to you, but they are everything to me. I need them to know that. Stop keeping them from me. We need eachother. Every single day that goes by and we are apart is just another day we continue to be abused. Look how miserable my children look. Is their security and pursuit of happiness not to be valued? Apparently not, social workers and judges who never see what is apparent or choose not to acknowledge it.
You can tell by these pictures that none of them wanted to be there and Saul was probably hiding his beer behind her son. Not one of them can smile.
I left my husband because what he was putting us through. I left because I finally found the gumption to fight back. In the process the system failed me, allowed him to remain in control, and get the upper hand. All I needed was support in protecting my children. I warned DCF on their website before any of these incidents had occurred that he was abusive to us, but not one person in the department took action on our part. NOT ONE. Do you know how terrifying and traumatic this has been for us? I will probably be tormented with PTSD for the rest of my life. I am pretty sure my kid's will never trust another person again, and I have the Department of Children and Families to thank. You have taught us a very valuable lesson. Not to count on anybody for help. You don't know the half of the abuse.
(Really? I am married refer to me as such.)

THESE VISITATIONS NEVER OCCURRED BECAUSE I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD TO FLEE THE STATE OF FLORIDA FOR MY OWN PROTECTION WITH VICTIM RELOCATING EXPENSES THROUGH THE STATE ATTORNEYS OFFICE, AND TO ALSO GET THE MEDICAL ATTENTION I SO DESPERATELY NEEDED FROM ANOTHER STATE. I WAS VERY RELUCTANT TO LEAVE MY CHILDREN BEHIND, BUT IT DIDN'T SEEM LIKE I WAS GIVEN MUCH OF CHOICE. I HAVE NOT SEEN MY BOYS SINCE 03/2016. I SHOULD HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BRING THEM WITH ME. I MISS THEM VERY MUCH. THIS IS A SIN LSF, JESUS CHRIST WILL NOT FORGIVE.
