1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,839 Yeah, you know a family member' s going through a situation with someone 2 00:00:05,919 --> 00:00:11,240 in his family pretty complicated. Family relationships aren' t easy. Sometimes there 3 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:19,559 are family that have dynamics between them, which are complex. What' s 4 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:25,600 going on? It is from this person, from this relative, that the 5 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:30,559 grandmother of her children has a quick relationship with the children, that she raised 6 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:35,880 a complicated relationship. I repeat, then in the process the children have been 7 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,759 married, they have their children and I did not know until this happened. 8 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:47,280 There is a supposed right of grandparents to have cohabitation with grandchildren. An assumption 9 00:00:47,439 --> 00:00:50,920 doesn' t exist. Be in the law. Grandparents have the right to 10 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:56,560 see their grandchildren and perfect. It may be possible that there is a cursed 11 00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,799 daughter- in- law who does not want to let her grandparents see their 12 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:06,000 grandchildren and that the law exists and guarantees grandparents to live and have a presence 13 00:01:06,519 --> 00:01:08,400 in the lives of their grandchildren, because I have no problem with their grandchildren. 14 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:15,120 But what we do when the person has knowledge of the law, knows 15 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:23,000 it and, using all the tools allowed by Dominican law, twists situations and 16 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:27,719 achieves a favorable sentence, that the only thing that causes the family is more 17 00:01:29,879 --> 00:01:34,200 problems, like the case I am talking about. People invent a series of 18 00:01:34,239 --> 00:01:38,719 situations, go to the juvenile prosecutor' s office. The juvenile prosecutor' 19 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,400 s office welcomes the complaint, this goes to justice. This has to last 20 00:01:42,439 --> 00:01:48,200 a very expensive process in the justice system, because I am talking about how 21 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:53,319 this process can easily cost a person a million pesos in lawyers if the lawyer 22 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,560 is good or half a million pesos, because the lawyers don' t go 23 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,040 in exact favor then. But, or it is the part that worries me 24 00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:06,879 about all this, that those who are called upon to deliver justice do not 25 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:14,080 deliver it properly because they do not do their job, that the experts who 26 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:20,800 are to evaluate the parties to the conflict do not do the job objectively and 27 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:25,479 end up hurting those who already have a conflict situation. I didn' t 28 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,840 know about this. Friday or the day the lawyer comes, I' m 29 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,360 gonna notice him so we can talk about his grandfather' s rights, see 30 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,280 his grandkids. I think I once mentioned it to him, but to deepen 31 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,599 this and I say I understand that the law is there, that it protects. 32 00:02:38,159 --> 00:02:42,879 I understand, in my opinion, that grandparents don' t have any 33 00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:46,879 damn, right none. In my opinion, I' m sorry, none. 34 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,599 But let' s say here the law says there' s a kind 35 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,000 of responsibility that goes cascading, that there aren' t the grandparents' children, 36 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:58,879 then they take care of the grandchildren or vice versa. I do not 37 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,919 know the spirit of the law, but it would be interesting, not so 38 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,639 much to demonize the law, but to point out the failures of the system. 39 00:03:07,319 --> 00:03:13,319 When these cases are given why. Because, being objective, the first 40 00:03:13,439 --> 00:03:17,280 thing that must guarantee justice is that when a complaint is based on arguments, 41 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:22,879 it is that what is being argued as the reason for the complaint can be 42 00:03:23,319 --> 00:03:28,000 proved that this is true, of course, and if it is proved to 43 00:03:28,039 --> 00:03:32,479 be a lie, because justice protects those people who are being victimized by a 44 00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:40,680 false complaint from that person who is falsely denouncing him. It can' t 45 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,199 be possible that you don' t do your job, don' t do 46 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:53,039 a psychiatric, psychological evaluation of the person who complains, and, worse yet, 47 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,759 that everyone knows that the problem is, but in the same way, 48 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,199 that when you find out no, the prosecutors know, the judge knows, 49 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:04,439 but I don' t have to do this because this person is already fed 50 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:09,000 up with her and that family solves her problem over there and that problem and 51 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,280 eating all those people alive. It can' t be possible. It can 52 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,159 ' t be. It can' t be. The courts of justice and 53 00:04:13,199 --> 00:04:18,480 the laws are supposed to be exactly to the contrary. It' s to 54 00:04:18,519 --> 00:04:24,480 avoid those situations, not for you to end up in Chonclau in an exact 55 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,959 fucking problem. It seems that here we have functioning publics simply for the high 56 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,399 profile issues and the low profile ones is to fuck them. It can' 57 00:04:32,439 --> 00:04:36,040 t be possible and I didn' t know about it, but I invite 58 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:43,160 you to be nurtured in this, to know well the duties, the rights 59 00:04:43,519 --> 00:04:46,199 that you have as far as your rights as parents go, the rights that 60 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:51,120 your children' s family environment has, with respect to the family, the 61 00:04:51,319 --> 00:04:55,560 father or the mother and all these things that you are sometimes very alien to 62 00:04:55,560 --> 00:05:00,040 them because of these problems, because look. That' s expending, that 63 00:05:00,079 --> 00:05:08,279 ' s expending, that' s desperate. It is not easy to see 64 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:14,040 situations like these, especially when they start from the whim of desire or alienation 65 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,759 of the reality of someone or the genesis that has, that the origin that 66 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:24,839 it has, because in the end, the family issues, children and mothers, 67 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,800 parents and children, that are their conflicts, are between them. And 68 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,639 many times you fall into a relationship with someone you see in those situations, 69 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,600 with your father, with your mother, or with both of them, and 70 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:41,480 somehow it' s yours, not and not necessarily you' re part of 71 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:46,040 the conflict, because you got into it or you provoked it. I then 72 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:51,040 respect the sovereign and sacred right that children have to love and be with their 73 00:05:51,079 --> 00:05:55,800 parents, regardless of whether their relationship is quick, difficult, complicated, whatever. 74 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,000 But a third one has to deal with another' s problems. No. 75 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,959 I didn' t know that law, this white of course. I 76 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:12,040 mean, find out and read well and advise with a lawyer, because it 77 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,199 ' s good to know, because the least- thinking can happen to you. 78 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:20,279 And sometimes there are situations that are complicated. Family conflicts are very difficult 79 00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:26,240 and many times what we are spectators are nothing but mere spectators, because you 80 00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:30,879 get into a conflict father mother, said father whatever, that doesn' t 81 00:06:30,879 --> 00:06:39,240 touch you. Sometimes it is not for one to express one’ s opinion 82 00:06:39,319 --> 00:06:42,079 or to become a participant in it. But it is good that you know 83 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,879 that when these conflicts come in they are exhausting, they last years and, 84 00:06:46,959 --> 00:06:53,480 like the case I' m saying, many times the solution what makes is 85 00:06:54,920 --> 00:07:00,120 to sharpen the problem, to make the situation worse, because you are, 86 00:07:00,199 --> 00:07:04,240 you are empowering something and in no situation that was already problematic and that what 87 00:07:04,519 --> 00:07:08,959 it does is to deepen the problem and it cannot be that it is to 88 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,759 do the solutions that are emanating from the Children' s Court, adolescent girls 89 00:07:11,839 --> 00:07:12,720 here, from the Dominican Republic and from the prosecutor that sheath that is out 90 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:17,680 there. I wish, I wish, these things don' t happen as 91 00:07:17,759 --> 00:07:21,240 often as this particular case, which I know. I wish, because I 92 00:07:21,319 --> 00:07:30,319 really imagine it will be overwhelming for anyone look worth brother. That' s 93 00:07:30,319 --> 00:07:34,480 difficult, very difficult. Well, let' s pause, we' re coming.
