Justice

Justice is the concept of moral rightness based on ethics, rationality, law, natural law, religion, fairness, or equity, along with the punishment of the breach of said ethics.

Because justice has yet to be served from my point of view, I continue to post on this blog. I couldn't live with myself knowing the danger that Patrick poses towards other minor children if I were quiet about it. If I didn't do everything in my power to warn and educate others about who Patrick is, what he looks like, and his level 2 sex offender status I would feel like I was somehow culpable if Patrick sexually abuses another child. The system is set up in a way that it will take another child being sexually abused by Patrick, and then they would need to turn Patrick in, before Patrick may see some real prison time for his crimes.

Furthermore, I would like to see some sort of justice take place in regards to Eddie Rojas. Because of our family's experience I learned firsthand that it is really easy to be on the run. In cases like ours essentially law enforcement won't look for a wanted felon-the felon needs to be turned in or get pulled over for a traffic violation or something like that. It's mostly left up to chance. It seemed logical to ask the internet world to be on the lookout. Many of the actions of Eddie raise multiple red flags. There may be much more to their story that Eddie wants to hide.

I also hope that showing my reader that other people were culpable in the abuse of my child that there is value in speaking up when something isn't right. Speaking out may save an innocent child. Speaking up and dealing with childhood sexual abuse will stop the cycle. Staying silent and hoping that Patrick, "Had changed and matured," as Jairus thought, without seeking professional help or involving the authorities was really leading the naive and innocent to slaughter.

Plaintiffs

I am not sure how I missed it the day I was served but I did. Patrick isn't the only one that is suing us.

Jairus Rojas and Patrick Rojas are the Plaintiffs that have filed a law suit against us for defamation, defamation by implication,and invasion of privacy. They are claiming that my blog has caused "loss of employment and that they have suffered other financial and professional harm." Also, that our (Eric and I are the named Defendant's) action's have caused other individuals to publish embarrassing and private details about them on the world wide internet. Also, the information I have published implies untrue information about them,the information I have on this blog places them in a false light, is intensely embarrassing,is supposition and vengeful.

There you have it.

We hired a lawyer that we really like. Our response is in motion. As I can I will update you, the reader.

Today

Today we met our lawyer. We are so encouraged!

It's Official

Crack of dawn...no joke, I was served with documents from Patrick's lawyer by the sheriff department. From what I can tell I have 20 days to respond in writing.

It's official.

The lawyer made mention that he thought it was interesting that I only included one paragraph from the original letter I received from him in my last post.

What I didn't mention from his original letter, included the fact that the lawyer is suggesting we go to mediation with Patrick to clear up this matter, or that I simply remove the blog (specifically, all the embarrassing and humiliating parts about Patrick and his family) or the lawyer would suggest a lawsuit.

The lawyer also wanted to be clear by reiterating;

"This letter is not meant to minimize the terrible journey that your family and daughter have had to travel and will continue to travel as a result of Patrick's actions. I do not want in any way to minimize the effect that Patrick has had on your family. I believe that God's grace can heal all wounds no matter how deep they are.

I have a deep belief that Jesus Christ suffered the effects of all sin, sorrows, grief,and tragedy in the Garden of Gethsemane and on the Cross so that he would know how to succor us in our time of need. He will be with you and your family as you travel the path of healing. I know personally that Jesus Christ can take our burdens from us and completely heal any harm that we have suffered whether it be physical, emotional, mental,spiritual, or otherwise."

Now that you have this additional information do you like Patrick or his lawyer, Michael J. Davis (in Tacoma, WA) any better?
