In Latin America, Abuse by Priests Hidden in Shadows

When Pope John Paul II spoke out on the church's pedophile priest scandals for the first time this week, he did it on the eve of a trip through a region that has scarcely been touched by them: Latin America.
Even as hundreds of priests and bishops from the U.S. to Poland have been implicated in the abuse of children, only a handful of cases have come to light in a population that accounts for about 30% of the world's Roman Catholics.
The church's power, the region's bankrupt judicial systems and a culture that abhors homosexuality have combined to create enormous barriers to claims of priestly abuse, experts say.
Few doubt that such abuses occur in Latin America with the more frequency as in other parts of the world. And here, they appear to be easier to conceal.
"Here, priests are sacred, almost godlike. They have total power. No common person is going to take them to court," said Sergio Bran, a sociologist at the University of Central America in El Salvador who has long studied the Roman Catholic Church.
At an outdoor Mass in Toronto on Sunday, the pope told hundreds of thousands of followers that ''the harm done ... to the young and vulnerable fills us all with a deep sense of sadness and shame.''
Individual cases have been reported in ecuador, panam, dominican republic, Bolivia, Colombia and Venezuela. 30 priests have been sued in connection with alleged pedophilia incidents. And former students have long accused a papal ally in Mexico of repeated abuses. The Rev. Marcial Maciel, founder of a conservative order known as the Legion of Christ, has vehemently denied the accusations.
Here in this booming suburb of factory workers and fast-food chains, it took a most uncommon man to bring to light one of the few known cases of pedophilia in Central America.

NYC school bus pedophile finally convicted

In March 2007, Rodolfo Hernandez,(a spic male's name, surprised?) a 52-year-old school bus driver, was transporting a three-year-old Staten Island girl with special needs back home after a day at Little Lamb Preschool. Mr. Hernandez told the matron on the bus to go home. He could take it from here. The matron got off the bus, leaving Carmen alone with the man who would be convicted of sexually molesting her two years later.

The child had a speech delay, and prosecutors said that Mr. Hernandez relied upon her disability to sexually abuse her and get away with it. And that is almost what happened.

While Carmen was able to convey the sex abuse to her parents through gestures and single words, the child could not tell detectives or child psychologists what had happened that day on the bus. The matron denied ever having left the bus, because she knew she would get fired if she told the truth. With no evidence and no witnesses except a special needs three-year-old, police released Mr. Hernandez without charging him. But they did retrieve, a day later, the little girl’s underwear from the family hamper and sent it off for DNA testing.

For the next year, Mr. Hernandez, who had twice been convicted of DUI, drove a school bus full of special-needs children every day.

In March 2008, when the DNA testing came back from the lab and the pedophile’s saliva was found inside poor Carmen’s underwear, Mr. Hernandez was charged and jailed while awaiting trial. Another interview with the bus matron revealed that she lied to detectives about being on the bus when the toddler said she had been abused.

The trial began a full year after the arrest, and yesterday Mr. Hernandez was convicted of first-degree sexual abuse and endangering the welfare of a minor. He faces a sentence of two to seven years on March 30.

It took two full years, but the parents of Carmen finally got the pedophile off the streets and out of the school buses of special needs children. Who knows how many children he molested before he got caught? That is the unsettling question for parents of special needs children everywhere.

The Department of Education needs more oversight of their school bus personnel. Right now, they contract out bus service to the lowest bidders, and special education children find themselves spending up to three hours a day with drivers and matrons who have no training in special needs nor any desire to help special needs children. They are simply people getting paid minimum wage to do a job that no one else wants. It is not surprising that many of them end up taking advantage of their young charges.

We hear of many stories that run the gamut from terrifyingly dangerous to incredibly insensitive. My special needs daughter spent an entire year with a matron who didn’t know how to strap a child in a car seat. I heard a story where a child had an “accident” on the bus and the matron made the mother board the bus with a mop and pail and clean it up. Matrons are supposed to be the female guardians of these buses, but many buses run without them or with ones who are present but ambivalent.

Drivers and matrons of special education buses need more vetting, training and oversight. How many special needs children need to be harmed before Chancellor Klein makes good on his slogan Children First?

The business cards handed to men at the corner of a grocery store didn't say much. Just a first name, a cellphone number and a color picture of a nude white female and the phrase free delivery. But their simplicity made clear the illicit purpose: sex. Authorities say the cards solicit customers for highly organized prostitution rings that cater to Hispanic immigrants and chauffeur women from out of state. Although prostitution crosses ethnic and racial lines, these immigration-related cases raise complex questions about the interplay of local and federal law and are likely to pose special challenges in the push against illegal immigration that began this week. The police department has said it will treat illegal immigrants who are criminals differently from those who are crime victims. But in prostitution cases, the women involved might be both. "A lot of girls we've interviewed don't even know what city they are in or what state they're in," said a police spokesman that has handled several of the prostitution cases. As the largest minority group in the U.S., Hispanics/Latinos are disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS. Latinos in the U.S. represent 15.3% of the population but account for 21% of new HIV infections and New York State continues to lead the country with the largest number of Latinos living with AIDS.

WHO to stop using term 'swine flu' to protect pigs

GENEVA – The World Health Organization announced Thursday it will would stop using the term "swine flu" to avoid confusion over the danger posed by pigs। The policy shift came a day after Egypt began slaughtering thousands of pigs in a misguided effort to prevent swine flu। WHO spokesman Dick Thompson said the agriculture industry and the U।N। food agency had expressed concerns that the term "swine flu" was misleading consumers and needlessly causing countries to ban pork products and order the slaughter of pigs। "Rather than calling this swine flu ... we're going to stick with the technical scientific name H1N1 influenza A," or just call it "Mexican flu"Thompson said. 

IN EUROPE THEY ALREADY CALLING IT MEXICANS FLU .....

 "Alors que le Canada a fait part samedi de 85 cas confirmés de grippe A(H1N1) dans le pays, une transmission de l'homme au porc a été constatée pour la première fois dans le monde dans la province d'Alberta, ont confirmé les autorités sanitaires canadiennes samedi dans un communiqué. Il apparaît fort probable que des porcs aient été exposés au virus par le biais d'un fermier canadien, revenu du Mexique le 12 avril et présentant des symptômes semblables à ceux de la "GRIPPE MEXICAINE", pouvait-on lire dans le communiqué de l'Agence canadienne d'inspection des aliments (ACIA)."

 Translation: 

"While Canada has announced Saturday 85 confirmed cases of influenza A (H1N1) in the country, transmission of human pork was found for the first time in the world in the province of Alberta have confirmed Canadian health authorities Saturday in a statement. It appears highly likely that pigs were exposed to the virus through a Canadian farmer, income from Mexico on April 12 and showing symptoms similar to the "FLU MEXICAN", pouvait-on lire dans le communiqué de l Agency Canadian Food Inspection (CFIA).

SWINE FLU: MEXICO CHANGES DEATH TOLL, 7 DEAD

Mexico City, 28 Apr। – Seven have died due to the swine flu virus in Mexico. The local authorities have drastically changed the number of victims of the virus reported until now, which was previously set at 20. The number of deaths “probably” due to swine flu has increased: Health Minister Jose Angel Cordova estimated a new death toll of 159, 7 more compared to what he previously reported. In total, 1,311 people have been hospitalised with flu-like symptoms. Cordova said that recent in-depth testing on the victims caused him to change the reports.

Mexico faces criticism over swine flu रेस्पोंसे:

MEXICO CITY – Two weeks after the first known swine flu death, Mexico still hasn't given medicine to the families of the dead. It hasn't determined where the outbreak began or how it spread. And while the government urges anyone who feels sick to go to hospitals, feverish people complain ambulance workers are scared to pick them up.
A portrait is emerging of a slow and confused response by Mexico to the gathering swine flu epidemic. And that could mean the world is flying blind into a global health storm.
Despite an annual budget of more than $5 billion, Mexico's health secretary said Monday that his agency hasn't had the resources to visit the families of the dead. That means doctors haven't begun treatment for the population most exposed to swine flu, and most apt to spread it.
It also means medical sleuths don't know how the victims were infected — key to understanding how the epidemic began and how it can be contained.

Swine flu: Mexico claims it started in Asia

A senior Mexican health official has claimed that swine flu most likely made the jump from a pig to a human in Asia and not at a pig farm in Mexico।

Miguel Angel Lezana, the director of the National Centre for Disease Control, said that genetic information in the H1N1 virus show it is more similar to types of flu that affect pigs in Central and East Asia.
"This corresponds to a Eurasian strain," he said। "It is probable that this strain is not circulating among pigs on the American continent."

Patient zero in Mexico – the earliest known case of the mutant virus - is a five-year-old boy, Edgar Hernandez, who suffered and survived the flu in early March.
Doctors had originally believed he had a traditional strain of flu but after the international outbreak, a stored sample was diagnosed in a US laboratory and came back positive for H1N1.
Edgar lives in La Gloria, a sweltering, dusty village near a largee industrial pig farm, leading many to speculate that this was where the virus had leaped from pig to man.
But Mr Lezana said there was no absolutely no evidence to support this claim.
"It is extremely unlikely that the virus made the mutation in La Gloria," he said।

Mr Lezana said that it is more likely that the virus was carried by people travelling from Asia to the US.
Mexican immigrants could then have brought the virus back home with them, he suggested.
A poor farming community, La Gloria sends many of its residents north of the Rio Grande to work.
Residents of La Gloria have been protesting against the local pig farm for several years, alleging that the waste from the thousands of hogs and piglets has been making them sick.
The allegations have been strenuously denied by the farm's owners.
In February and March, the community was hit with a bout of flu that made hundreds bedridden, including Edgar.
However, Mexican health officials said that samples from other victims show they were suffering from traditional strains of influenza and not the ः१ण१ virus.

Homosexuality Among Native Americans

When English and French-Canadian fur trappers first grew acquainted with the cultures of the Native Americans among whom they found themselves, they were surprised to find that there were significant numbers of men dressed as women among the tribes of the region. What intrigued them the most, however, was the esteem with which these men were held by their fellow tribesmen. These men were considered to be spiritually gifted, a special gift to the tribe by God, men with a particular insight into spiritual matters. As they were encountered in most tribes, the trappers chose a French word to describe them all: "berdache."

Personally, as a person of Native American descent, I thoroughly dislike that term, for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that it is ultimately perjorative in its roots. Native Americans find the term offensive as it comes ultimately from the Arabic where it means roughly, 'male prostitute,' a thoroughly unacceptable term to be used for their highly respected spiritual advisors and elders.

The term "Two-Spirit" has been proposed as a replacement, but I find that it too is lacking, in that there is no universal agreement on its meanings, some of which are also perjorative. Yet what it does convey is a sense that these people have a special gift - being in two worlds at once, the normal material world, but also an sensitivity to a special gift of the spirit that only people like themselves can experience.

Other terms also fail to convey the breadth of the phenomenon and the esteem in which these men were held. While men living as men with other men were a phenomenon that varied widely among tribes, the phenomenon of the man dressed as a woman who engaged in the pursuit of spiritual matters was almost universal among North American tribes. The term, "Two-Spirit" is a term I will use, then, to describe this phenomenon in this section of this essay, in spite of its shortcomings.

There were exceptions, of course, to the celebration of Two-Spirits, such as the Pimas of Arizona, but in most cases, Native American tribes, particularly the tribes of the Great Plains and the Southwest, were greatly admiring of their Two-Spirits. Among the Hopi and the Zuni of Arizona and New Mexico, these Two-Spirits held a special status. They were keepers of the ancient traditional stories of creation, healing and growth. But more than that, they were the keepers of the spiritual traditions, recognized for their special gift of being "between genders."

Mexico shuts down 390 child-pornography websites

MEXICO CITY, The Mexican government shut down 390 Internet sites that distributed child-pornography in 2008, the local daily El Universal reported on Tuesday.

The authorities managed to capture 200 people suspected of distributing illicit material that promoted sex tourism and trafficking of minors through the Internet, the daily said. Of the 390 sites, 197 were created in Mexico City.

During investigations, seven websites that promoted cyber-terrorism were also discovered, the daily added.

A recent study, made by the Department of Family Development and the UN Children's Fund, showed that there have been 160,000 cases of child prostitution in Mexico during the last nine months.

Day Laborers working as male prostitutes

When a car pulls up to a group of day laborers waiting on the sidewalk, they swarm around in the hope of getting an opportunity to work. For the most part, these jobs are physical—painting, construction or carpentry—but sometimes, it’s another kind of work.

“People have come and offered us money for sex,” says Hugo Guerrero, a 29-year-old day laborer from Jalisco, before recounting how once a woman offered him $300 to appear in a pornographic video. He declined, but said he knows a lot of hispanics who acceped. these offers are not uncommon.

Whether or not they accept the offers, in a society affected by the HIV and AIDS epidemic, day laborers who are solicited for sexual services must be informed of the risks and the ways to protect themselves.

“As the day ended, people would come, other men offering work,” says Víctor Martínez, director of Bienestar’s Hollywood offices. “But once they picked them up, they would offer them more money for sexual services.”

According to the investigation, day laborers accept sex offers for economic reasons. The majority of those who accept these offers are drug addicts and have been day laborers for five or more years. They succumb when they can’t find other work, and though they may have had sex with other men, they don’t consider themselves homosexual.

“I hope the Latino community will learn about this issue without judging,” Montez says, “that they will realize that we have to do it , this is america, we need to make dinero, if we suck gringos dick para dinero , we are not gays , we do it for a living , please dont judge us.”
