DCF expects charges against mother in toxic truck case; father attempts suicide in jail
February 17, 2011 1:01 PM


WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- The state Department of Children and Families says it expects charges to be filed against the mother of twins involved in a grisly highway attack.

Jacqui Colyer, a regional director for the agency, said Thursday that Carmen Barahona is likely to face charges related to an alleged cover-up for her husband, Jorge Barahona

This guy just isn't very determined at all. Had he really wanted to commit suicide, he would have dosed himself in acid.

Here is the frist 153 pages.

Now, be careful. This starts with the twins birth and the first pages are about the bio mom and dad. Seems the twins were placed in foster care because mom lost rights early on and bio dad had them. Then he was arrested for child molestation and jailed and that put the twins into foster care.

Also, Nubia had been absent from school for two weeks (when she was still going to school). There was a report made then - she was supposedly absent because of excessive bleeding. It looks like Jorge was sexually abusing her. Which is probably why the acid - remove DNA.

Did both the bio father and adoptive father sexually assault her?

The DCF's 'very ugly past put aunt and uncle second in line to adopt Barahona twins
<<SNIPPED>>

For years, AR and IR tried to tell anyone who would listen that Victor and Nubia Barahona belonged with them.

The Houston couple pointed to their three successful adult children as evidence they could be loving parents to their twin niece and nephew, then toddlers, who had been born in Miami to a drug-addicted mother and a father arrested in 2004 for molesting another child.

They were financially stable, they said. They were patient, God-fearing and kind.

And above all, the Rs repeated in their applications, they were blood.

"I will protect them with my life," AR promised in a questionnaire.

Richard Wexler, executive director of the National Coalition for Child Protection Reform, said the Reyeses' loss to the twins' foster parents was reflective of a "very ugly past" in Florida's child welfare legacy - one he describes as "years of panic" following highly publicized accounts of deaths of children in DCF care.

"You have a system that is vastly overloaded at this time, that doesn't like relatives," Wexler said. "They had the simple option of strangers versus the complicated option of out-of-state relatives. So they opted for what was quick and easy."

George Sheldon, who was DCF secretary from 2008 until last month, said the twins may have never ended up with Jorge and Carmen Barahona had he been in charge.

Sheldon said he always preferred placing children like the Barahona twins with relatives, although his predecessors often gave more weight to the bond a child had established with a foster family.

Perlmutter believes more information on what went wrong in the adoption process will come out with the findings of the investigative panel.

"I'll wait to see what they conclude," Perlmutter said. "But I think what we'll find that in this case there were colossal failures on many levels."

So this panel that had 5 meetings to fix the system, how many of them were former foster kids, foster parents, birth parents who had their children taken by DCF, etc., etc. And 5 meetings? Yeah, that's going to accomplish....squat!

I can look on my laptop later today. But I couldn’t see any documents to download on my iPhone screen. I also did a search to see if there was any media coverage. Nothing so far.

I do know she always had a review hearing when he was in court. So since his trial/case is on hold - I would think she won't be having review hearing anymore. But what do I know! LOL!

Okay - on the checking - no hurry!

MOO, is that the State of Florida, doesn't want this case to ever be tried. I think that the DP charge was to get a plea from JB. But, he didn't care. He knew he would never see the light of day again, so a plea was meaningless to him.

He has been playing the justice system like it is a game.

At this point in time, the people involved have moved on with their lives. Who can really remember details of daily situations, conversations, phone calls, from over a decade ago? I have moved 4 times since Nubia was killed.

Seriously, at this point in time, a trial would be a joke.
