OCEANSIDE, CA — Foster mom admits to killing girl
Foster mom admits to killing girl
http://www.thecoastnews.com/articles/4091/ May 02, 2008 By Randy Kalp Reporter OCEANSIDE — A foster mother charged with the murder of a 4-year-old girl in her care admitted to authorities that she accidentally killed the girl after months of abuse, testified a detective April 23. Dania Yesenia Haros, 23, is charged with one count each of murder and assault stemming from the death of Angelina Espalin in November 2006. Superior Court Judge Runston Maino ordered Haros back to court May 7 for an arraignment, at which time a trial date may be set. After several interviews with Haros during a yearlong investigation following the death of the young girl, Oceanside police Detective Jeffrey Novak testified Haros finally admitted she had pushed Angelina three times on the evening of Nov. 19, 2006, each time causing the victim to hit her head on a wood or metal surface. Haros said she had started abusing the girl a few months prior because she had become angry that her husband, Daniel Haros, was neglecting her, and their two foster children, which included Angelina and her younger sister, Elisa Espalin, Novak said. Christopher Swaell, a deputy medical examiner for the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, testified that Angelina died from damage to her brain caused by blunt-force head injuries. He said he recorded 34 injuries to Angelina’s entire body with 18 of those on her face and head. Haros told police she never sought help for her abusive actions, however, Novak said she did tell them she prayed for God to help and forgive her. After the hearing, S’te Elmore, a former foster mother of Angelina and Elisa Espalin, took a few minutes to talk about Angelina and the “unimaginable” circumstances of her death. “She was very outspoken, outgoing … once she set her mind to something, that was it,” Elmore said. “She’d tell you like it was and she wasn’t afraid to do that.” “I don’t understand why she (Haros) didn’t take the steps to get help, give the girls back or do something to prevent it,” Elmore added. Family members and friends of Haros who attended the preliminary hearing denied a request to comment about the case as they exited the courtroom. Haros remains in custody in lieu of $5 million bail. An Inconvenient Truth about Child Protective Services, Foster care, and the Child Protection "INDUSTRY" Child Protective Services Does not protect children... It is sickening how many children are subject to abuse, neglect and even killed at the hands of CPS. every parent should read the free handbook from connecticut dcf watch... http://www.connecticutdcfwatch.com Number of Cases per 100,000 children in the US These numbers come from The National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect in Washington. (NCCAN) Recent numbers have increased significantly for CPS Perpetrators of Maltreatment Physical Abuse CPS/Foster care 160, biological Parents 59 Sexual Abuse CPS/Foster care 112, biological Parents 13 Neglect CPS/Foster care 410, biological Parents 241 Medical Neglect CPS/Foster care 14 biological Parents 12 Fatalities CPS/Foster care 6.4, biological Parents 1.5 Imagine that, 6.4 children die at the hands of the very agencies that are supposed to protect them and only 1.5 at the hands of parents per 100,000 children. CPS perpetrates more abuse, neglect, and sexual abuse and kills more children then parents in the United States. If the citizens of this country hold CPS to the same standards that they hold parents too. No judge should ever put another child in the hands of ANY government agency because CPS nationwide is guilty of more harm and death than any human being combined. CPS nationwide is guilty of more human rights violations and deaths of children then the homes from which they were removed. When are the judges going to wake up and see that they are sending children to their death and a life of abuse when children are removed from safe homes based on the mere opinion of a bunch of social workers.

Some experts estimate that about 30% of the children in care have marked or severe emotional problems. Various studies have indicated that children and young people in foster care tend to have limited education and job skills, perform poorly in school compared to children who are not in foster care, lag behind in their education by at least one year, and have lower educational attainment than the general population. *Casey Family Programs National Center for Resource Family Support 80 percent of prison inmates have been through the foster care system. The highest ranking federal official in charge of foster care, Wade Horn of the Department of Health and Human Services, is a former child psychologist who says the foster care system is a giant mess and should just be blown up. http://abcnews.go.com/print?id=2017991 Four rigorous studies have found that at least 30 percent of America’s foster children could be home right now if their parents had decent housing.
