March 7, 2011 Update. Police: Jorge + Carmen Barahona’s Beating Death of Daughter ‘Subhuman’; Investigators Cite Constant Torture of Twin Adopted Children. WPTVnews http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifq7-sWSZyw
Jorge Barahona, 53, is accused of punching his daughter to death on Feb 11 following a lengthy torture session in which the girl was kept bound at the hands and feet and left in a bathtub. Carmen Barahona, 60, is also charged with first degree murder. The 10-year-old twins were subjected to months of abuse culminating in a torture session that ended with the girl’s death just 1day after state child welfare authorities visited the home and found no reason to intervene. “On Feb. 11, 2011 in the presence of Victor, Jorge Barahona removed Nubia from the bathtub while her feet and hands were still bound and took her to [the couple’s] bedroom. Co-defendant [Jorge Barahona] reportedly punched and beat Nubia about her body while she screamed and cried until she was dead,” according to documents. Police describe a house of horrors where the children were “repeatedly hit, punched, beaten with multiple objects about their bodies and bound and left for days on end, locked inside the only bathroom in the family home…” http://www.wptv.com/dpp/news/region_c_palm_beach_county/jorge-and-carmen-barahona-both-facing-murder-charges

Note: This is exactly like all dead baby CPS trials I have attended +/or researched. They reek of coverup, snuff, + 3rd parties being protected. It is what it is. When these people come to the door (unregulated, unmonitored sociopaths who answer to NO ONE and who are attracted to children for money) know that your child is in danger. This agency is a pedophile + sociopath’s dream. Complete isolation from parents or anyone that cares. They become Nobody’s child. Throwaways – vulnerable, PERFECT VICTIMS. Couple that with complete protection for all acts no matter how heinous. Who benefits? Certainly not children.

Barahona case deserves full disclosure. DCF has moved quickly to investigate what happened and to satisfy the public cry for information. No doubt that media coverage of the torture inflicted on the children has helped push the agenda. The Miami Herald has filed a public-records lawsuit seeking key records that new DCF Secretary David Wilkins is declining to provide. Wrong move. If ever there was a case that called for full-out transparency, this is it. http://www.miamiherald.com/2011/02/28/2090662/barahona-case-deserves-full-disclosure.html

Carmen Barahona’s Daughter Speaks Out About Family Tragedy http://miami.cbslocal.com/2011/02/24/26941/

Carmen Barahona Charged w First Degree Murder, 7 Counts Aggravated Child Abuse, 7 Counts Child Neglect. 60 YO Carmen Barahona reportedly went voluntarily to Miami-Dade police headquarters for questioning and was booked into jail this afternoon.
Jorge Barahona, Carmen’s husband, sits in the Palm Beach County jail charged w attempted murder for Victor’s injuries. He also faces first degree murder charges in Miami.
10YO Victor was able to answer questions from investigators, now that he’s been released from the hospital; his answers may provide clues to what happened to Nubia. Victor was released from Jackson Memorial’s burn unit last week, and is said to be recovering nicely in a therapeutic foster home, though he will need continuing medical care and counseling.
Miami-Dade police and prosecutors assumed control of the death investigation after Victor, suggested to detectives that Nubia’s injuries were inflicted inside the family’s West Miami-Dade home.
Detectives have searched the home several times, recently hauling away a bathtub. The Barahona’s 6YO granddaughter reported to a therapist that the twins were being bound hand and foot and made to spend hours upon hours inside the bathtub of the family’s home. On Feb 10, the therapist called in the tip to a DCF abuse hotline – 4 days before Nubia’s corpse was found. The state child welfare agency has drawn intense scrutiny.
DCF has released a host of agency records detailing the twins’ abuse. Nubia was petrified of her adoptive mother, who, she told school workers, would beat her feet with a sandal. Nubia also was afraid her mother would learn she was hoarding food in a book bag because she was hungry.
Carmen Barahona filed for divorce against her husband, her lawyer claims she was a victim of domestic violence for much of her marriage, and should not be held responsible for what occurred inside the home. She has asked for custody of her 3 surviving adoptive children who are in foster homes.
Victor may be headed to Texas where a paternal aunt + uncle have sought custody of him since 2004.

NFL’s Stallworth gets 30 days behind bars in pedestrian’s death

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte Stallworth will spend 30 days in jail for a DUI manslaughter that killed a construction worker in March under terms of a plea agreement, prosecutors said Tuesday.

The Cleveland Browns’ Donte Stallworth can continue to play football, but his driver’s license is revoked for life.

Stallworth, 28, pleaded guilty in a Florida court Tuesday to killing Mario Reyes while driving under the influence of alcohol. He began serving his sentence immediately, said Terry Chavez, spokeswoman for the Miami-Dade state attorney’s office.

Some notes if you don’t want to read the full article: The victim’s family signed off on this plea deal and also received a large sum of money from Stallworth, in lieu of filing a wrongful death suit. The DA said Stallworth’s excellent record (not even a parking ticket), his community service and the fact that the victim may be contributed to his own death because he ran in front of Stallworth’ vehicle was taken into account.

There’s 4 different justice systems.

One for politicians.

The second for rich people and celebrities but there’s a lot of mitigating factors such as how rich and how big of a celebritie.

The third is for the so-called ‘common folks’ that have to mortgage their property just to put up the retainer for a lawyer.

Down on the bottom of this so-called ‘classless’ American society is the poor. They get a court appointed lawyer that advises his client to cop out on a lesser charge. Never mind that he/she is innocent. He’s probably institionalized by now that he’s looking forward to returning to second base on the prison ball team.
