CONTINUATION OF CLAIM TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF CONTRA COSTA COUNTY ON MAY 8 , 1997, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE GROUP HOME THAT A MEETING WAS SCHEDULED TOMORROW WITH JOHN VOJVODA REGARDING STEVEN RUSSELL. THIS MEETING WAS MENTIONED TO ME A WEEK OR TWO PRIOR. I ATTENDED THE MEETING ON MAY 9 , 1997 . THE MEET- ING STARTED WITH ME IDENTIFYING CLOTHESTHAT THE GROUP HOME BROUGHT THERE THAT THEY WERE UNSURE OF' DUE TO STEVEN STEALING. 99% OF THE CLOTHESWERE HIS. WE ALL THEN SAT DOWN TO EXPLAIN TO STEVEN THE REASON WE WERE THERE. WHICH WAS TO SHOW HIM THAT WE WERE WORKING TOGETHER TO HELP HIM, HOWEVER, HE HAD TO BE WILLING TO WORK WITH US. THIS WAS RECOMMENDED BY THE GROUP PROGRAM STAFF BECAUSE OF PROBLEMS THEY WERE EXPERIENCING. I THEN ASKED STEVEN DID HE UNDERSTAND? HE SAID YES. I THEN EXPLAINED, (BECAUSE I DID NOT BELEIVE HIM) THAT WE WERE WILLING TO WORK TOGETHER TO HELP HIM, BUT HE HAD TO WORK WITH US BECAUSE WE CAN' T HELP YOU IF YOU DON'T TRY TO HELP YOURSELF. I THEN AGAIN ASKED HIM IF HE UNDERSTOOD? HE SAID YES. I THEN TURNED TO MR. VOJVODA. HE LOOKED AT STEVEN AND SAID: "YOU SEE STEVEN YOU'RE IN THE SYSTEM NOW. " HE THEN LOOKED AT ME AND SAID: "ALL PEOPLE IN PITTSBURG, WEST PITTSBURG AND RICHMOND ARE ALL LOW INCOMES . " I SAID: "I AM WELL AWARE OF THE HIGH CRIME AREAS OF THIS STATE. " HE THEN SAID: "WELL LET ME READ TO YOU' MY REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION TO THE COURT. " HE STARTED READING THE FIRST PARAGRAPH ABOUT STEVEN. THE SECOND PARAGRAPH STARTED WITH A STATEMENT ABOUT ME. THERE IS A STATEMENT OF A RECENT CONCERN OF THE STAFF IS THE LACK OF QUALITY PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT WHICH IMPAIRS THEIR ABILITY TO ASSESS THE HOME AS WELL AS WORK WITH MRS. RUSSELL. FIRST OF ALL, THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT HAS BEEN CONTACTING ME AND WORKING WITH ME AND I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH IS THE GROUP PROGRAM STAFF. SECOND, EVERYONE IN THIS COUNTY KNOWS THAT I CAN 'T DRIVE AND HAVE TO USE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, NOT ONLY HAVE THE GROUP PROGRAM STAFF HELPED ME IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS OR AIDED ME WHEN THEY KNEW I DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH­TRANSPORTATION FARE BUT OTHER DEPARTMENTS OF THIS COUNTY DID AS WELL. THEY ALSO HELPED ME WHEN IT MIGHT HAVE TAKEN TOO LONG FOR ME TO GET A CERTAIN PLACE BY PUBLIC TRANSPORTATIOI THE ONLY SUGGESTIONS I HAVE NOT ATTENDED ARE THE ONES THAT THEY SAID THEY WOULD LIKE ME TO ATTEND, HOWEVER NO APPOINTMENT WAS SET. DUE TO ME WORKING TEMPORARY AND BECOMING PERMANENT HAS PLACED ME ON AN EXTENDED PROBATION PERIOD AT WORK. THEREFORE, I ALWAYS EXPLAI? MY PROBATION BUT ALWAYS STATED TO GIVE ME ENOUGH NOTICE FOR MY BOSS WHETHER I LOOSE MONEY OR NOT. I HAVE BEEN THERE. PROBATION HAS NOT. MR. VOJVODA THEN READ AN ASSUMPTION STATEMENT OF ALCOHOL IN FRONT OF STEVEN. I THEN BECAME ANGRY AND TOLD HIM TO STOP, JUST GIVE ME A COPY AND DON'T READ ANYMORE. WE WERE THERE TO WORK TOGETHER AS A TEAM TO HELP STEVEN AND MR.VOOVODA WAS DOING EVERYTHING TO FIGHT IT. THIS IS NOT THE ACTIONS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE HELPING US AS FAR AS PROBATION IS CONCERNED, THESE PEOPLE, SOME OF THEM HAVE PERSONAL PROBLEMS AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO DEAL WITH THE CRIMINAL PUBLIC. (CONTINUED ON PAGE 2) ( 2) THE REASON I BECAME UPSET IS BECAUSE MR. VOJVODA'S STATEMENTS AND ACTIONS WERE NOT OF A PERSON WHO WAS TRYING TO HELP ME AND MY MINOR SON. THEY WERE ACTIONS OF A PERSON WHO ALLOWED HIS PERSONAL FEELINGS INTERFERE WITH HIS PROFESSIONALISM. HIS PREDECESSOR ' S DID THE SAME. PRIOR TO MY CONVERSATIONS WITH MR. VOJVODA, ON NOVEMBER 4, 1996, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM HIM STATING STEVEN WAS BEING PLACED IN A GROUP HOME. HE STATED IT WAS SPECIALLY APPROVED BY THE STATE BECAUSE OF STEVEN 'S AGE. MR. VOJVODA THEN CALLED ME ON NOVEMBER 8 , 1996, TO INFORM ME STEVEN WAS BEING PLACED THAT DAY. HE THEN REPEATED HIS STATEMENT OF NOVEMBER 4 , 1996;' THE STAFF THERE ARE ALL AFRICAN-AMERICANS . " I SAID: "THIS IS THE SECOND TIME YOU SAID THAT. " HE SAID: "I DID?" I SAID YES, YOU TOLD ME THAT WHEN YOU FIRST CALLED ME ON MONDAY. HE SAID, WELL IT' S JUST THAT WE THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE BEST FOR HIM LIVING IN A CULTURE THAT HE IS USED TO. I TOLD MR. VOJVODA, IT DOES NOT MATTER BECAUSE I DON'T RAISE MY CHILDREN TO BE RACISTS, THEY HAVE GROWN UP AND SOCIALIZED WITH ALL NATIONALITIES. I ALSO ASKED MR. VOJVODA WHY DID HE CONSIDER SOLANO COUNTY CLOSE TO HOME, WHEN A HEALTHY START TEAM EMPLOYEE AND I WERE TRYING TO GET STEVEN PLACED IN OAK GROVE DAY TREATMENT PROGRAM SINCE AUGUST 1996 BY CHARLES WATERMAN AND EVELYN ZULUETTA, HIS PREVIOUS PROBATION OFFICER AND MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELOR. MR. WATERMAN TOLD ME THERE WAS NO ROOM THERE, AND MR. VOJVODA SAID THE SAME. THE REASON FOR MY LAST STATEMENT IS BECAUSE AGAIN, THEY KNOW I DON 'T DIVE AND OAK GROVE IS IN CONCORD, CONTRA COSTA COUNT, NOT SOLANO COUNTY THAT TAKES ABOUT 45 MINUTES BY CAR IF I GET A RIDE. PERSONALLY I DON'T FEEL THAT MY SON SHOULD HAVE BEEN PLACED IN A GROUP HOME, BECAUSE OF CERTAIN PROBATION OFFICERS OF THIS COUNTY STATING THERE ARE PROBLEMS IN THE HOME. I DON'T TEACH MY SON TO STEAL, HE IS LEARNING IT FROM SOCIETY. MY SON LOVES AND RESPECTS ME BECAUSE I AM ALL HE HAS ALWAYS HAD. HE IS NOT THE ONLY CHILD IN THIS COUNTY STEALING FOR THIS COUNTY TO 'TRY TO TAKE HIM AWAY FROM ME OR USE AS GUINEE PIGS FOR THEIR POWER STRUGGLES. I AM FILING THIS CLAIM BECAUSE OF HARASSMENT, DISCRIMINATION AND CONTINUOUS UNEMPLOYMENT BECAUSE OF THESE OFFICERS. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THEY WANT TO KEEP US LOW INCOME CRIMINALS OF WHICH A - CRIMINAL I AM NOT. THESE PEOPLE AS REPRESENTED FALSE INFORMATION TO THE SUPERIORS OF THIS COUNTY AND STATE. FAIRFIELD RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM HAS EXTENDED THEIR SERVICES TO CORRECT MY SON AND I THANK THEM. SINCERELY, DENISE RUSSELL P.S. - MR. VOJVODA NOR ANY OTHER OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED PROBATION OFFICERS HAVE GIVEN ME WRITTEN RULES OR REGULATIONS OF PROBATION OR ANY OTHER FACT OF MY SON 'S SITUATION. I HAVE ATTACHED A COPY OF A RECENT LETTER FROM MR. VOJVODA.

YOUR LETTER WAS BOTH INACCURATE ON A NUMBER OF POINTS AND ATTRIBUTES MOTIVES TO MY ACTIONS WHICH WERE CLEARLY NOT VALID. I PLAN TO SHARE THIS LETTER WITH REFEREE KATZ . I WAS ASSIGNED AS YOUR SON'S PLACEMENT WORKER ON NOVEMBER 4, 1996 NOT A MONTH EARLIER AS YOU CLAIM. IT IS TRUE WE NEVER MET PERSONALLY BEFORE MAY 8, 1997 BUT THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE HAD YOU REQUESTED A MEETING. YOU HAVE NEVER REQUESTED A MEETING WITH ME FOR ANY PURPOSE! I CLEARLY UNDERSTAND YOUR UPSET OVER THE READING OF THE PLACEMENT REVIEW IN THE PRESENCE OF YOUR SON. I TOO WAS UPSET AND, AS YOU POINTED OUT, I DID APOLOGIZE TO YOU FOR ANY EMBARRASSMENT CAUSED YOUI IT WAS NOT MY INTENT TO EMBARRASS OR UPSET YOU. AS REGARDS THE CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH LED TO YOUR SON'S REFERRAL TO FAIRFIELD RESIDENTIAL, I EXPLAINED TO YOU DURING OUR TELEPHONE CONVERSATION OF NOVEMBER 4, 1996 THAT YOUR SON WAS RECOMMENDED FOR A PROGRAM LOCATED IN STANISL US COTTNTY. I ,OPPOSED THIS RECOMMENDATION BECAUSE REUNIFICATION EFFORTS WOULD HAVE BEEN HAMPERED BY THE DISTANCE AND WOULD HAVE BEEN A TRANSPORTATION HARDSHIP FOR YOU. I RECOMMENDED FAIRFIELD RESIDENTIAL BECAUSE: ( 1 ) IT WAS CLOSE TO YOU; ( 2 ) THEY WORK CLOSELY WITH PARENTS EVEN TO THE POINT OF VISITING THE MINOR'S HOME; AND ( 3 ) GROUP HOME STAFF WERE AFRICAN-AMERICAN WORKING ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY WITH AFRICAN-AMERICAN YOUTH. I SENSE IN YOUR WRITTEN COMMENTS PERTAINING TO THIS ISSUE A NOT SO VEILED SUGGESTION THAT MY ACTIONS MAY HAVE BEEN MOTIVATED BY RACISM. I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS TO BE THE CASE! AS REGARDS OUR CONTACT WITH ONE ANOTHER, I HAVE REVIEWED MY FIELDNOTES AND MY TELEPHONE LOGUE WHICH CONTAINS A RECORD OF CALLS RECEIVED. I SHOW THAT WE TALKED TWICE IN NOVEMBER 1996 ( 11/4 & 8 ) ; NOT AT ALL IN DECEMBER OR JANUARY 1997; ONCE ON FEBRUARY 21ST; NOT AT ALL. IN MARCH DUE TO MY TWO WEEK HOSPITALIZATION AND RECOVERY AND NOT AT ALL IN APRIL DUE TO MY VACATION. THE ABOVE, OF COURSE, DOES NOT REFLECT MY NUMEROUS TELEPHONE CALLS AND VISITS TO FAIRFIELD RESIDENTIAL. IF YOU HAD ISSUES TO DISCUSS WHY DID YOU NOT CONTACT ME IN DECEMBER 1996 OR IN JANUARY, MARCH, OR APRIL 1997? I DID RECEIVE YOUR VOICE MAIL MESSAGE OF MAY 9 , 1997 ! YOU ARE A PARENT WHO DOES REGULARLY ATTEND HER SON' S JUVENILE COURT HEARINGS. IN FACT YOU HAVE APPEARED IN COURT ON SEVENTEEN OCCASIONS FOR VARIOUS HEARINGS, EIGHT OF WHICH WERE FOR DISPOSITIONAL HEARINGS . IN EVERY INSTANCE WHERE A PARENT APPEARS THEY ARE PROVIDED A COPY OF THE COURT' S ORDER. THE ONLY HEARING IN WHICH YOU DID NOT APPEAR WAS THE PLACEMENT REVIEW HELD APRIL 18, 1997 . I AM THEREFORE SOMEWHAT AT A LOSS AS TO HOW YOU COULD CLAIM THAT YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN PROVIDED A COPY OF COURT ORDERS INSOFAR AS THE BAILIFF ALWAYS ASKS THE PARENT(S) TO WAIT FOR A COPY OF THE COURT ORDER. I WILL NOT DIGNIFY YOUR "P.S . " STATEMENT WITH A REPLY. IN CLOSING MRS RUSSELL, I WISH TO POINT OUT THAT YOU AND I MAY HAVE DISAGREEMENTS BUT WE SHARE A COMMON GOAL AND THAT IS TO DO OUR BEST FOR STEVEN. THIS IS ALSO THE GOAL OF THE JUVENILE COURT AND THAT OF FAIRFIELD RESIDENTIAL. HOPEFULLY, THIS COMMON GOAL MAY LEAD US TO WORK TOGETHER COOPERATIVELY. I AM MORE THAN WILLING TO MEET WITH YOU AT ANY TIME TO DISCUSS ANY OF THE ABOVE. SINCERELY YOURS 4' !/ ' OHN A.

Continuation of Claim to: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF CONTRA COSTA COUNTY ON 1/22/96 , MR. WATERMAN ATTENDED A FOCUS MEETING AT SHORE ACRES ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AS A S . I .T. MEMBER. HE ASKED ME IF I WOULD MIND IF HE COUNSELLED STEVEN EVERY NOW AND THEN, THAT HE WOULD NOT PUT ANYTHING IN WRITING, JUST TO TALK TO HIM OCCASIONALLY TO SEE IF HE CAN STOP HIM FROM STEALING. I SAID NOT AT ALL, ANYTHING TO STOP HIM FROM STEALING. AFTER THE FIRST MEETING, I HAD NO FURTHER CONTACT WITH MR . WATERMAN, HOWEVER, ACTIONS FROM VICE PRINCIPAL M. DEHGNAN, SHOWED ME THAT THERE WAS NO FOCUS ON STEVEN, IT WAS ON ME . JOE BRISENO GAVE THE SCHOOL THE IMPRESSION I WAS AN ALCOHOLIC THAT WHEN I ATTENDED THE SECOND FOLLOW-UP MEETING ON 3/26/96 THERE WAS A COMMENT ABOUT ME BEING SICK BECAUSE MY EYES WERE RED. I HAVE A SINUS ALLERGY PROBLEM THAT PROBATION IS TRYING TO USE TO SAY I AM INTOXICATED JUST BECAUSE MY EYES ARE RED. NONE OF THE INFORMATION PROVIDED AT THESE MEETINGS WERE USED TO FOCUS ON STEVEN ' S PROBLEM, BUT ON ME. ON 5/16/96 , PROBATION PRESENTED A RECOMMENDATION TO JUVENILE COURT TO EXTEND STEVEN ' S PROBATION FOR ONE YEAR AND TO GIVE HIM 30 DAYS STAYED PROVIDED HE VIOLATES PROBATION. THE JUDGE GRANTED THE ORDER. ON 7/1/96 , STEVEN VIOLATED PROBATION BY STEALING AGAIN AND MR. WATERMAN WAS NOTIFIED BY ME THE NEXT MORNING. INSTEAD OF PICKING STEVEN UP AND TAKING HIM TO JUVENILE HALL, HE TOLD ME HE HAD TO WAIT FOR HIS COPY OF THE CITATION FROM THE ARRESTING OFFICER . I SHOWED HIM MY COPY AND ALSO TOLD HIM I RETRIEVED $47 OF THE MONEY FROM STEVEN AND STEVEN SAID HE GAVE $25 TO A TEENAGER, JAMAL TOOLE WHO LIVED IN WILLOWBROOK APARTMENTS . MR . WATERMAN TCO ME TO GO THERE AND RETRIEVE THE MONEY FROM THE BOY, WHICH I DID WITH THE AID OF THE MANAGER . I THEN PHONED THE ARRESTING OFFICER, T. CONGER WHO SENT A DEPUTY TO ESCORT ME TO DEANNA EDWARDS RESIDENCE TO RETURN THE $72 WHICH WE DID. MR . WATERMAN WAS INFORMED AND STATED TO ME THAT HE STILL COULD NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL HE RECEIVED A COPY OF THE CITATION. IT WAS STATED IN COURT THAT STEVEN WAS TO AUTOMATICALLY BE PICKED UP AND TAKEN TO JUVENILE HALL AND I WOULD NOT HAVE TO GO BACK TO COURT. ON 8/8/96 , STEVEN VIOLATED PROBATION AGAIN AND THE SCHOOL AND MYSELF INFORMED MR. WATERMAN. I WAS TOLD THAT STEVEN GAVE THE CANDY OUT TO THE OTHER CHILDREN AND SOME OF THE MONEY. ALL OF THE $7 WAS RECOVERED BY THE SCHOOL EXCEPT $2 . THE TEACHER TOLD ME IF HE RETURNEE THE $2 SHE WOULD DROP THE SITUATION EXCLUDING 2 DAYS SUSPENSION. HE RETURNED THE $2 WHEN HE RETURNED TO SUMMER SCHOOL. THE FOLLOWING WEEK THE ORIGINAL SCHOOL STAFF RETURNED AND DECIDED TO CITE HIM ANYWAY. MR. WATERMAN STATED WHEN HE VISITED MY HOME, "OH, THAT WAS NOTHING, IT WAS JUST SOME CANDY. " HE ALSO SAID THAT HE DID NOT WRITE HIS REPORT TO THE COURT YET BECAUSE HE STILL DID NOT RECEIVE A COPY OF THE CITATION YET, HOWEVER, WHEN HE RECIEVES IT AND WRITES HIS REPORT AND FILE IT, IT WILL BE ABOUT 2 MONTHS BEFORE WE HAVE TO GO TO COURT WHICH WILL BE SOME TIME IN OCTOBER . ALL HE KEPT SAYING WAS IT ' S UP TO THE JUDGE. ALSO, THAT THERE IS NO ROOM AT JUVENILE HALL. (CONTINUED ON PAGE 2 ) ( 1 ) SINCE MR. WATERMAN DID NOT DO ANYTHING AFTER THE FIRST VIOLATION, I KEPT STEVEN IN THE HOUSE AND WOULD NOT ALLOW HIM TO GO ANYWHERE EXCEPT SUMMER SCHOOL WITHOUT ME . ON 9/4/96 , WHEN STEVEN WAS IN VIOLATION THE THIRD TIME, MR. WATERMAN WAS INFORMED BY THE SCHOOL AND MYSELF AGAIN. WHEN VICE PRINCIPAL T. DIAL INFORMED ME OF THE THEFT, HE STATED MR. WATERMAN WAS AT THE SCHOOL THE PREVIOUS WEEK TO GIVE HIM A LIST OF HIS CLIENTS . HE SAID MR . WATERMAN TOLD HIM STEVEN DOES IT TO IMPRESS PEOPLE, SO HE JUST WANTED ME TO KNOW STEVEN WAS TRYING TO IMPRESS THE 8th GRADE GIRLS AND APOLOGIZED FOR WAKING ME UP SO EARLY. I WAS ALREADY UP- SET BECAUSE MR . WATERMAN HAD NOT FOLLOWED HIS DEPARTMENTS RECOMMENDA- TION, BUT AFTER THE STATEMENT FROM THIS VICE PRINCIPAL AND THE TONE IN WHICH HE SAID IT, I BECAME INFURIATED. THE REASON FOR THIS IS NOT ONLY AM I AWAKE AT 5 : 30 OR 6 :00 EVERY MORNING TO PREPARE STEVEN FOR SCHOOL AND MY JOB SEARCH, BUT I SAW THE SAME PATTERN OF JUDGEMENT BEING CREATED BY A NEW SCHOOL THAT JOE BRISENO PRESENTED LAST YEAR AT SHORE ACRES ELEMENTARY. WHEN I PHONED MR. WATERMAN ON THIS IN- CIDENT, HE STATED, "I THOUGHT HE WOULD AT LEAST WAIT A WEEK.1111E SAID HE DID FILE HIS REPORT WITH THE COURT THAT I SHOULD RECEIVE A NOTICE SOON. ON 10/10/96 , I TOLD MR. WATERMAN THAT I REPORTED STEVEN MISSING THE NIGHT BEFORE AFTER NOT RETURNING HOME FROM SCHOOL AND THAT THE SHERIFF 'S DEPT. WAS NOW LOOKING FOR HIM BECAUSE HE WAS REPORTED FOR STEALING A BIKE 2 HOURS AGO . MR. WATERMAN JUST SAID, "WELL, HE HAS TO GO TO COURT ON TUESDAY ANYWAY, AND I HAVE SEVEN OTHER KIDS TO SEE TODAY, IF I SEE HIM HERE AT AMBROSE, DO YOU WANT ME TO CALL YOU SO YOU CAN COME GET HIM. " , AS IF HE DID NOT CARE. AFTER THE SECOND VIOLATION IN AUGUST, THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND MYSELF HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET MR. WATERMAN AND EVELYNE ZULUETA TO PLACE STEVEN IN OAK GROVE DAY TREATMENT PROGRAM AND THEY BOTH HAVE BEEN IGNORING THE REQUEST. HE KEPT TELLING US ABOUT .PLACING STEVEN IN BYRON FOR 6 MONTHS . THE REASON WE REQUESTED OAK GROVE WAS BECAUSE HIS COUNSELLOR AND MR. WATERMAN WERE TOO BUSY QUESTIONING MY PERSONAL LIFE AND NOT COUNSELLING STEVEN FOR STEALING. PROBATION JUST KEPT LETTING HIM STEAL AND I FELT THE SITUATION WAS GETTING WORSE AND THAT STEVEN NEEDED DAILY COUNSELLING . MR. WATERMAN ABETTED TO STEVEN' S STEALING PROBLEM BY NOT FOCUSING ON HIS PROBLEM, AND CAUSED A DELAY IN MY UNEMPLOYMENT BY FOCUSING ON MY FINANCES AND VERBALLY ABUSING ME TO HELP RESOURCES AT ABROSE CAUSING THEM TO GIVE ME THE THIRD DEGREE BEFORE ANYTHING WAS DONE . NO ONE STARTED HELPING ME EXCEPT THE HEALTHY START TEAM UNTIL SEPTEMBER. MR. WATERMAN USED COUNSELLIN INFORMATION TO TRY TO FIND SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME OUT OF RETALIATION FOR HIS PREDECESSORS . THREE TIMES SINCE AUGUST HE KEPT STATING TO ME HOW HE KNEW I HAD PROBLEMS WITH HIS PREDECESSORS, HOWEVER HE WAS NOT MY ENEMY, HE IS A NICE GUY, HE IS MY FRIEND. WHEN I ASKED MR . WATERMAN FOR A COPY OF HIS REPORT TO COURT, HE STATED THERE IS NO REPORT, HE JUST FILED A COURT DATE. IF MR . WATERMAN WAS MY FRIEND HE WOULD HAVE DETAINED STEVEN IN JULY AND NOT LET HIM CONTINUE STEALING. IF HE WAS MY FRIEND, HE AND EVELYNE ZULUETA WOULD HAVE PLACED STEVEN IN OAK GROVE AFTER HE DID NOT DETAIN HIM SO THAT THE THEFTS AT RIVERVIEW MIDDLE SCHOOL WOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN PLACE. IF HE WAS MY FRIEND, HE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN WALKING AROUND MY NEIGH- BORHOOD QUESTIONING LOCAL STORES ABOUT STEVEN AND I STATING HE BE- LIEVES I HAVE STEVEN STEALING TO SUPPORT AN ALCOHOL PROBLEM HE HAS NO MEDICAL PROOF OF .

CONTINUATION OF CLAIM TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF CONTRA COSTA COUNTY ON 1/18/96 , I PHONED ANTIOCH MENTAL HEALTH DEPT. TO SCHEDULE STEVEN TO RECEIVE MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELLING AGAIN FOR HIS STEALING PROBLEM. I RECEIVED A CALL LATER FROM CINDY FELTON WHO QUESTIONED ME ABOUT WHAT TYPES OF THINGS HE STEALS . I TOLD HER CANDY, TOYS AND LITTLE GADGETS . SHE ASKED ME WHAT I MEANT ABOUT GADGETS . I TOLD HER SMALL ITEMS ( i .e. - KEY CHAINS, STOP WATCH, TOOLS ) . SHE THEN ASKED ME IF I DIDN ' T MIND HER COUNSELLING STEVEN BECAUSE SHE DID NOT HAVE HER LICENSE YET, THAT SHE WAS STILL IN TRAINING, HOWEVER ALL OF HER WORK IS APPROVED BY HER SUPERVISOR . I TOLD HER NOT AT ALL, ANYTHING TO STOP STEVEN FROM STEALING. SHE THEN SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR 2/1/96 . THE FIRST SESSION WE WENT THROUGH THE INITIAL PROCESS OF AUTHORIZATION INCLUDING CONSENT TO CONVERSE WITH THE SCHOOL COUNSELLOR AND PROBATION FOR INFORMATION THAT MIGHT HELP HER WITH COUNSELLING. THE SECOND SESSION, SHE ASKED ME WHAT IS IT EXACTLY THAT I WANTED THEM TO DO. I SAID, HELP ME FIND A WAY TO STOP STEVEN FROM STEALING. I FOUND THIS. QUESTION STRANGE WHEN THAT WAS THE REASON I GAVE TO HER WHEN I PHONED HER INITIALLY. DURING THE CONTINUED SESSIONS THERE WAS STILL A LOT OF QUESTIONING MY LIFE STORY AND NOT ANY FOCUS ON STEVEN. SHE JUST KEPT PLAYING STRATEGY GAMES WITH HIM AND KEPT ASKING ME ABOUT MY JOB SEARCH. I HAD TO KEEP POINTING TO STEVEN AND REMINDING HER OF COUNSELLING HIM FOR STEALING. FOR FOUR AND A HALF MONTHS I STARTED FEELING COUNSELLING WAS A WASTE OF TIME WITH HER. I THEN WALKED INTO ABROSE RECREATIONAL CENTER IN JUNE TO RESCHEDULE A MISSED APPOINTMENT WITH HER AND SAW HER CONVERSATING WITH CHARLES WATERMAN, WHO INFORMED HER THAT I JUST WALKED INTO THE BUILDING. WHEN I QUESTIONED HER ABOUT THEIR CONVERSATION, SHE BECAME INFURIATED WHEN I TOLD HER SHE HAD NO RIGHT SIDING WITH HIM AND HIS RETALIATION BECAUSE SHE IS SUPPOSED TO BE STEVEN' S MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELLOR COUNSELLING HIM ON STEALING AS I REQUESTED. SHE ALL OF A SUDDEN HAD TO LEAVE COUNSEL- LING EARLIER THAT SHE PLANNED. DURING HER LAST SESSION, I MENTIONED HER NAME BEING THE ONLY NAME IN PROBATION ' S REPORT TO JUVENILE COURT, AND SHE AGAIN SEEMED INFURIATED. SHE ASKED ME HOW DID THEY GET HER NAME AND I TOLD HER PROBATION ASKED ME WAS HE RECEIVING COUNSELLING AND I SAID YES , WITH CINDY FELTON. HER INFURIATION SEEMED STRANGE WHEN SHE IS THE PERSON WHO GAVE ME A CONSENT FORM TO SIGN FOR CONSULTATION WITH THE PROBATION DEPT. STEVEN WAS THEN APPOINTED TO EVELYNE T. ZULUETA, MFCC CHILD PSY- CHOLOGIST. INITIALLY MS. ZULUETA COUNSELLED STEVEN ABOUT HIS STEALING PROBLEM, BUT ABOUT THE FOURTH WEEKLY SESSION SHE BEGAN QUESTIONING HOW WE GET ALONG AT HOME, DOES HE GET ALONG WITH HIS BROTHER, HOW IS MY JOB SEARCH GOING AND DOES HE EAT. EVERY SESSION AFTER THIS WAS GOING OFF FOCUS OF STEVEN STEALING AGAIN. EVEN AFTER STEVEN ' S VIOLATIONS THERE WAS NOT TOO MUCH CONSULTATION ON STEALING. THE:..BEGINNING OF AUGUST, I TOLD MS . ZULUETA ABOUT OAK GROVE DAY TREATMENT PROGRAM. I MADE THIS RECOMMENDATION BECAUSE I SAW THE WEEKLY COUNSELLING WAS NOT WORKING NOR ANY HELP FROM PROBATION. I TOLD HER THE SCHOOL DISTRICT INFORMED ME OF THE PROGRAM AND THE SUPERVISOR OF OAK GROVE TOLD ME STEVEN HAD TO BE REFERRED THERE BY HIS COUNSELLOR . I THEN STATED, SINCE WEEKLY COUNSELLING IS NOT HELPING, THIS MIGHT BE A BETTER PROGRAM FOR HIM. SHE THEN STATED DR . MELNEY WAS ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF OAK GROVE. I THEN REQUESTED THAT SHE TALK TO HIM ABOUT STEVEN AND GET HIM REFERRED THERE . ( 1 ) (CONTINUED ON PAGE 2 ) AFTER I MADE THE REQUEST TO MS . ZULUETA AND CHARLES WATERMAN TWICE AND THEY BOTH IGNORED ME, I THEN REQUESTED TO SEE STEVEN' S FILE FROM THE MENTAL HEALTH DEPT. MAKING THIS REQUEST TWICE ALSO BE- ING IGNORED, I THEN PHONED DR. MELNEY MYSELF TO MAKE THE REQUEST, HOWEVER, RECEIVED HIS VOICE MAIL AND LEFT A MESSAGE . THE CALL WAS NEVER RETURNED. EVELYNE ZULUETA THEN SCHEDULED A MEETING WITH PRINCIPAL JULIEN AFTER STEVEN STOLE THE CELLULAR PHONE , WHICH SHE ATTENDED. AFTER THE MEETING SHE DID NOT SCHEDULE STEVEN' S NEXT APPOINTMENT, SHE STATED SHE WOULD CALL ME . A FEW DAYS LATER , I PHONED HER AND RECEIVED HER VOICE MAIL. AFTER CALLING TWICE AND RECEIVING NO RETURN CALLS FROM HER , I THEN PHONED THE SCHOOL TO SEE IF THEY SAW HER THERE. SHE THEN CALLED TO SCHEDULE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT. THE NEXT FEW APPOINTMENTS WERE STRANGE BECAUSE SHE KEPT CALLING MY NEIGHBORS HOUSE TO CANCEL AND RESCHEDULE APPOINTMENTS EVERY WEEK BETWEEN 5 : 00 & 8 :00 p.m. . THE FIRST EXCUSE WAS , HER BROTHER WAS IN TOWN FROM NEW YORK AND SHE THOUGHT HE WAS LEAVING TODAY, HOWEVER, HE IS NOT LEAVING UNTIL TOMORROW, SO CAN WE RESCHEDULE FOR TOMORROW. WHICH I DID. THE NEXT EXCUSE AFTER WAITING FOR HER FOR 45 MINUTES AND ASKING THE RECEPTIONIST TO HAVE HER CALL ME WAS , SHE WAS ON HER YACHT CATCHING UP ON HER PAPER WORK AND LOST TRACK OF THE TIME . I THEN BECAME FURIOUS BECAUSE I FELT SHE WAS PLAYING GAMES WITH COUNSELLING. MY NEIGHBOR ASKED WHY DOES SHE CALL EVERY WEEK TO RESCHEDULE, DOES SHE HAVE AN APPOINTMENT BOOK? I SAID YES. THEY THEN SAID, OBVIOUSLY SHE DOESN' T KNOW HOW TO USE IT, BECAUSE NO ONE SHOULD RESCHEDULE APPOINTMENTS EVERY WEEK. I AGREED. SHE EVEN BADGERED MY NEIGHBOR ONE DAY AFTER ALL OF THIS WHEN I MISSED AN APPOINTMENT AND STARTED YELLING, "WHERE IS SHE?" WHEN MY NEIGH- BOR STATED I WENT TO THE STORE, SHE THEN DEMANDED TO SPEAK TO STEVEN. STEVEN HAD A COLD THAT DAY, WHICH SHE KEPT FOCUSING ON. THE COLD ONLY LASTED THE WEEK-END. THREE DAYS . THE NEXT WEEK SHE TOLD ME ABOUT A NEW PROGRAM AT THE BAY .POINT WELL- NESS CENTER. SHE INFORMED ME THAT DR. GWEN JOHNSON WOULD BE THERE ON THURSDAYS . SHE PRESCRIBES RITALIN. THIS SUGGESTION WAS MADE AFTER I MADE EVERYONE FOCUS ON STEVEN' S ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER WHEN THE SCHOOL STARTED COMPLAINING ABOUT INCOMPLETE WORK AGAIN. I CALLED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT AND ONCE AGAIN, NO ONE KNEW WHO I WAS TALKING ABOUT, EVEN AFTER EXPLAINING SHE WAS NEW. MS . ZULUETA T4W PHONED HERSELF AND PHONED ME BACK TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINT- MENT AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE RECEPTIONIST KNEW DR. JOHNSON. I KEPT THE APPOINTMENT, HOWEVER, STEVEN WAS NOT SEEN BY DR. JOHNSON, INSTEAD HE WAS EXAMINED BY CHDP FOR A PHYSICAL AND COUNSELLED ON CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT. THEY FOUND HIM HEALTHY AND THEN PROCEEDED TO TELL ME AFTER ALL OF THIS WAS OVER, THAT DR . JOHNSON WAS NOT THERE THIS TOLD ME MS . ZULUETA DID NOT REFER STEVEN FOR RITALIN, SHE REPORT ED POSSIBLE CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT. THIS WAS UNNECESSARY BECAUSE THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF SUCH VITIOUSNESS. CINDY FELTON AND EVELYNE ZULUETA HAVE BEEN SIDING WITH CHARLES WATERMAN TO REITERATE RETALIATI{ OF FALSE STATEMENTS PRESENTED BY JOE BRISENO SINCE MAY 1995 . ( 2 ) (CONTINUED ON PAGE 3 ) I HAVE BEEN REPEATING AND PROVIDING INFORMATION VOLUNTARILY TO THESE COUNTY OFFICIALS SO THEY CAN HELP ME STOP MY SON FROM STEALING . INSTEAD OF HELP, ALL I HAVE RECEIVED IS HARASSMENT, VERBAL ABUSE, FAILURE TO FOCUS ON STEVEN' S MENTAL PROBLEM, INTRUSIONS IN EMPLOYMENT AND HUMILIATION. I DON'T KNOW IF THE GOVERNMENT PROVIDES MORE FUNDING FOR TAKING AWAY AN INNOCENT PERSONS CHILD OR NOT, BUT I FIND THIS PAST YEAR AND A HALF ABSURD, NERVE WRECKING AND ASININE. THESE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE PROFESSIONALS AIDING TO STOP MY SON' S PROBLEMS , NOT INCREASING THEM. INSTEAD IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE THEY ABETTED TO THE PROBLEM MAKING MY CONCERN FOR MY SON AND MY COOPERATION WORTHLESS . I HAVE PEOPLE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD WHO HAVE HELPED ME WITH STEVEN BETTER THAN YOUR EMPLOYEES . THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO KNOW HOW HARD AND BUSY I AM TRYING TO KEEP STEVEN OUT OF TROUBLE. NOT ONLY HAS THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF BEEN A TOTAL WASTE OF OUR LIVES , BUT ALSO A TOTAL WASTE OF COUNTY FUNDS . I HAVE BEEN HOME TRYING TO DO THE JOB THAT THESE EMPLOYEES GET PAID TO DO . ALL I HAVE RECEIVED IS AN INCREASE IN MY SON' S PROBLEM INCLUDING AND INCREASE IN VALUE. IF THEY WERE DOING THEIR JOBS PROPERLY, THE PROBLEM WOULD HAVE CEASED OR AT LEAST SLOWED DOWN, NOT INCREASE. THESE EMPLOYEES ABETTED TO MY SON ' S PROBLEM, SHOWING HIM THEY WERE MORE INTERESTED IN PUNISHING ME THAN HIM FOR HIS CRIMES . EVERYONE IN THIS WORLD IS AN INDIVIDUAL. I DON 'T TEACH MY SON TO STEAL. I AM A CHRISTIAN. I WORK TOO HARD NEGLECTING MYSELF FOR MY CHILDREN TO HAVE THIS SITUATION CONTINUE. NEVER IN MY ENTIRE LIFE HAVE I BEEN PRESENTED AS BEING NEGLECTFUL TO MY CHILDREN BECAUSE EVERYONE, FAMILY, FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS ALL KNOW I HAVE ALWAYS PLACED BY CHILDREN FIRST. IF THEY DID SOMETHING WRONG, THEN THEY WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN ACTIONS BY GOING AGAINST MY TEACHINGS . AS FOR THE FOCUS ON US HAVING NO FAMILY HERE , I HAVE FAMILY HERE Y AND STEVEN DOES HAVE IMMEDIATE FAMILY. HOWEVER , THIS SHOULD NOT MATTER OR RAISE ANY QUESTIONS BECAUSE I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN INDEPEN- DENT AND NEVER USED MY FAMILY TO HELP WITH ANY SITUATION OR UN- FORTUNATE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT LIFE BRINGS . I HAVE ALWAYS DONE IT . ALONE . I HAVE DISCONTINUED COUNSELLING WITH EVELYNE ZULUETA BECAUSE ON STEVEN ' S LAST SESSION WITH HER 10/8/96 , SHE ASKED ME TO LEAVE THEM ALONE STATING SHE WANTED TO GIVE HIM MOTIVATION FOR COURT. INSTEAD SHE BROUGHT UP SAD POINTS IN HIS LIFE AND LEFT STEVEN GOING HOME INTIMIDATEb BY JUMPING AROUND AND SLIDING HER CHAIR UP CLOSE IN FRONT OF HIM EVERYWHERE HE MOVED WHILE DISCUSSING HIS GETTING HIT BY A CAR AND HIS BROTHER LEAVING HIM. THERE WAS NO DISCUSSION OF COURT OR STEALING. STEVEN WAS NEVER UPSET ABOUT HIS COUNSELLING SESSIONS UNTIL HER LAST ONE AND SHE NEVER RE- QUESTED ME TO LEAVE UNTIL THE LAST TWO. ALSO, THE LAST FOUR SESSIONS SHE WAS INTENTIONALLY MAKING HERSELF LATE BY STALLING TIME WHILE I WAS WAITING IN FRONT OF HER IGNORING MY PRESENCE AND THE RECEPTIONIST ' S NOTIFICATION THAT I WAS THERE . THE TIME RANGED FROM 10 MINUTES TO A HALF HOUR . ( 3 ) • � w �ra any 2. r s.''�.'� s a{ 't"- d `v ani �^tt �`' x � � F , R �,y (S G 8t F•,p#'y'A w.';^v yyk�.�+ s °4 4a3 _ ss` eXl+e.

Ste. B2 Pleasant Hill, CA 94523 RE: CLAIM OF: Kurt Hoffinan Please Take Notice as Follows: The claim you presented against the County of Contra Costa or District governed by the Board of Supervisors fails to comply substantially with the requirements of California Government Code Section 910 and 910.2, or is otherwise insufficient for the reasons checked below: 1. The claim fails to state the name and post office address of the claimant. 2. The claim fails to state the post office address to which the person presenting the claim desires notices to be sent. 3. The claim fails to state the date,place or other circumstances of the occurrence or transaction which gave rise to the claim asserted. 4. The claim fails to state the name(s) of the public employee(s) causing the injury, damage, or loss, if known. 5. The claim fails to state whether the amount claimed exceeds ten thousand dollars ($10,000). If the claim totals less than ten thousand dollars ($10,000), the claim fails to state the amount claimed as of the date of presentation, the estimated amount of any prospective injury, damage or loss so far as known, or the basis of computation of the amount claimed. If the amount claimed exceeds ten thousand dollars ($10,000), the claim fails to state whether jurisdiction over.the claim would rest in municipal or superior court. 6. The claim is not signed by the claimant or by some person on his behalf. 0 7. Other: The claim is improperly filed with the Board of Supervisors because the Board of Supervisors has no authority over the West Contra Costa Unified School District, and no public employees over which the Board of Supervisors has authority are named in the claim.

CONTINUATION OF CLAIN TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF CONTRA COSTA COUNTY ON MAY 8 , 1997, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE GROUP HOME THAT A MEETING WAS SCHEDULED TOMORROW WITH JOHN VOJVODA REGARDING STEVEN RUSSELL. THIS MEETING WAS MENTIONED TO ME A WEEK OR TWO PRIOR . I ATTENDED THE MEETING ON MAY 9, 1997. THE MEET- ING STARTED WITH ME IDENTIFYING CLOTHESTHAT THE GROUP HOME BROUGHT THERE THAT THEY WERE UNSURE OF DUE TO STEVEN STEALING. 99% OF THE CLOTHESWERE HIS . WE ALL THEN SAT DOWN TO EXPLAIN TO STEVEN THE REASON WE WERE THERE. WHICH WAS TO SHOW HIM THAT WE WERE WORKING TOGETHER TO HELP HIM, HOWEVER , HE HAD TO BE WILLING TO WORK WITH US. THIS WAS RECOMMENDED BY THE GROUP PROGRAM STAFF BECAUSE OF PROBLEMS THEY WERE EXPERIENCING. I THEN ASKED STEVEN DID HE UNDERSTAND? HE SAID YES . I THEN EXPLAINED, (BECAUSE I DID NOT BELEIVE HIM) THAT WE WERE WILLING TO WORK TOGETHER TO HELP HIM, BUT HE HAD TO WORK WITH US BECAUSE WE CAN'T HELP YOU IF YOU DON 'T TRY TO HELP YOURSELF. I THEN AGAIN ASKED HIM IF HE UNDERSTOOD? HE SAID YES. I THEN TURNED TO MR . VOJVODA. HE LOOKED AT STEVEN AND SAID: "YOU SEE STEVEN YOU'RE IN THE SYSTEM NOW. " HE THEN LOOKED AT ME AND SAID: "ALL PEOPLE IN PITTSBURG, WEST PITTSBURG AND RICHMOND ARE ALL LOW INCOMES . " I SAID: "I AM WELL AWARE OF THE HIGH CRIME AREAS OF THIS STATE. " HE THEN SAID: "WELL LET ME READ TO YOU MY REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION TO THE COURT. " HE STARTED READING THE FIRST PARAGRAPH ABOUT STEVEN. THE SECOND PARAGRAPH STARTED WITH A STATEMENT ABOUT ME. THERE IS A STATEMENT OF A RECENT CONCERN OF THE STAFF IS THE LACK OF QUALITY PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT WHICH IMPAIRS THEIR ABILITY TO ASSESS THE HOME AS WELL AS WORK WITH MRS . RUSSELL. FIRST OF ALL, THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT HAS BEEN CONTACTING ME AND WORKING WITH ME AND I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH IS THE GROUP PROGRAM STAFF. SECOND, EVERYONE IN THIS COUNTY KNOWS THAT I CAN 'T DRIVE AND HAVE TO USE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, NOT ONLY HAVE THE GROUP PROGRAM STAFF HELPED ME IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS OR AIDED ME WHEN THEY KNEW I DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH"TRANSPORTATION FARE BUT OTHER DEPARTMENTS OF THIS COUNTY DID AS WELL. THEY ALSO HELPED ME WHEN IT MIGHT HAVE TAKEN TOO LONG FOR ME TO GET A CERTAIN PLACE BY PUBLIC TRANSPORTATIO! THE ONLY SUGGESTIONS I HAVE NOT ATTENDED ARE THE ONES THAT THEY SAID THEY WOULD LIKE ME TO ATTEND, HOWEVER NO APPOINTMENT WAS SET. DUE TO ME WORKING TEMPORARY AND BECOMING PERMANENT HAS PLACED ME ON AN EXTENDED PROBATION PERIOD AT WORK. THEREFORE, I ALWAYS EXPLAI- MY PROBATION BUT ALWAYS STATED TO GIVE ME ENOUGH NOTICE FOR MY BOSS WHETHER I LOOSE MONEY OR NOT. I HAVE BEEN THERE. PROBATION HAS NOT. MR . VOJVODA THEN READ AN ASSUMPTION STATEMENT OF ALCOHOL IN FRONT OF STEVEN. I THEN BECAME ANGRY AND TOLD HIM TO STOP, JUST GIVE ME A COPY AND DON 'T READ ANYMORE. WE WERE THERE TO WORK TOGETHER AS A TEAM TO HELP STEVEN AND MR-VOJVODA WAS DOING EVERYTHING TO FIGHT IT. THIS IS NOT THE ACTIONS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE HELPING US AS FAR AS PROBATION IS CONCERNED, THESE PEOPLE, SOME OF THEM HAVE PERSONAL PROBLEMS AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO DEAL WITH THE CRIMINAL PUBLIC. (CONTINUED ON PAGE 2) ( 2 ) THE REASON I BECAME UPSET IS BECAUSE MR . VOJVODA 'S STATEMENTS AND ACTIONS WERE NOT OF A PERSON WHO WAS TRYING TO HELP ME AND MY MINOR SON. THEY WERE ACTIONS OF A PERSON WHO ALLOWED HIS PERSONAL FEELINGS INTERFERE WITH HIS PROFESSIONALISM. HIS PREDECESSOR ' S DID THE SAME. PRIOR TO MY CONVERSATIONS WITH MR. VOJVODA, ON NOVEMBER 4, 1996, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM HIM STATING STEVEN WAS BEING PLACED IN A GROUP HOME. HE STATED IT WAS SPECIALLY APPROVED BY THE STATE BECAUSE OF STEVEN ' S AGE. MR. VOJVODA THEN CALLED ME ON NOVEMBER 8 , 1996, TO INFORM ME STEVEN WAS BEING PLACED THAT DAY. HE THEN REPEATED HIS STATEMENT OF NOVEMBER 4 , 1996; THE STAFF THERE ARE ALL AFRICAN-AMERICANS. " I SAID: "THIS IS THE SECOND TIME YOU SAID THAT. " HE SAID: "I DID?" I SAID YES, YOU TOLD ME THAT WHEN YOU FIRST CALLED ME ON MONDAY. HE SAID, WELL IT'S JUST THAT WE THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE BEST FOR HIM LIVING IN A CULTURE THAT HE IS USED TO. I TOLD MR. VOJVODA, IT DOES NOT MATTER BECAUSE I DON'T RAISE MY CHILDREN TO BE RACISTS, THEY HAVE GROWN UP AND SOCIALIZED WITH ALL NATIONALITIES. I ALSO ASKED MR. VOJVODA WHY DID HE CONSIDER SOLANO COUNTY CLOSE TO HOME, WHEN A HEALTHY START TEAM EMPLOYEE AND I WERE TRYING TO GET STEVEN PLACED IN OAK GROVE DAY TREATMENT PROGRAM SINCE AUGUST 1996 BY CHARLES WATERMAN AND EVELYN ZULUETTA, HIS PREVIOUS PROBATION OFFICER AND MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELOR. MR . WATERMAN TOLD ME THERE WAS NO ROOM THERE, AND MR . VOJVODA SAID THE SAME. THE REASON FOR MY LAST STATEMENT IS BECAUSE AGAIN, THEY KNOW I DON 'T DIVE AND OAK GROVE IS IN CONCORD, CONTRA COSTA COUNT, NOT SOLANO COUNTY THAT TAKES ABOUT 45 MINUTES BY CAR IF I GET A RIDE. PERSONALLY I DON 'T FEEL THAT MY SON SHOULD HAVE BEEN PLACED IN A GROUP HOME, BECAUSE OF CERTAIN PROBATION OFFICERS OF THIS COUNTY STATING THERE ARE PROBLEMS IN THE HOME. I DON'T TEACH MY SON TO STEAL, HE IS LEARNING IT FROM SOCIETY. MY SON LOVES AND RESPECTS ME BECAUSE I AM ALL HE HAS ALWAYS HAD. HE IS NOT THE ONLY CHILD IN THIS COUNTY STEALING FOR THIS COUNTY TO VRY TO TAKE HIM AWAY FROM ME OR USE AS GUINEE PIGS FOR THEIR POWER STRUGGLES. I AM FILING THIS CLAIM BECAUSE OF HARASSMENT, DISCRIMINATION AND CONTINUOUS UNEMPLOYMENT BECAUSE OF THESE OFFICERS. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THEY WANT TO KEEP US LOW INCOME CRIMINALS OF WHICH A CRIMINAL I AM NOT. THESE PEOPLE AS REPRESENTED FALSE INFORMATION TO THE SUPERIORS OF THIS COUNTY AND STATE. FAIRFIELD RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM HAS EXTENDED THEIR SERVICES TO CORRECT MY SON AND I THANK THEM. SINCERELY, DENISE RUSSELL P.S. - MR. VOJVODA NOR ANY OTHER OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED PROBATION OFFICERS HAVE GIVEN ME WRITTEN RULES OR REGULATIONS OF PROBATION OR ANY OTHER FACT OF MY SON 'S SITUATION. I HAVE ATTACHED A COPY OF A RECENT LETTER FROM MR. VOJVODA.

IT IS TRUE WE NEVER MET PERSONALLY BEFORE MAY 8, 1997 BUT THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE HAD YOU REQUESTED A MEETING. YOU HAVE NEVER REQUESTED A MEETING WITH ME FOR ANY PURPOSE! I CLEARLY UNDERSTAND YOUR UPSET OVER THE READING OF THE PLACEMENT REVIEW IN THE PRESENCE OF YOUR SON. I TOO WAS UPSET AND, AS YOU POINTED OUT, I DID APOLOGIZE TO YOU FOR ANY EMBARRASSMENT CAUSED YOU! IT WAS NOT MY INTENT TO EMBARRASS OR UPSET YOU. AS REGARDS THE CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH LED TO YOUR SON'S REFERRAL TO FAIRFIELD RESIDENTIAL, I EXPLAINED TO YOU DURING OUR TELEPHONE CONVERSATION OF NOVEMBER 4 , 1996 THAT YOUR SON WAS RECOMMENDED FOR A PROGRAM LOCATED IN STP21ISLTUS COTTNTY. 1 OPPOSED THIS RECOMMENDATION BECAUSE REUNIFICATION EFFORTS WOULD HAVE BEEN HAMPERED BY THE DISTANCE AND WOULD HAVE BEEN A TRANSPORTATION HARDSHIP FOR YOU. I RECOMMENDED FAIRFIELD RESIDENTIAL BECAUSE: ( 1 ) IT WAS CLOSE TO YOU; ( 2 ) THEY WORK CLOSELY WITH PARENTS EVEN TO THE POINT OF VISITING THE MINOR'S HOME; AND ( 3 ) GROUP HOME STAFF WERE AFRICAN-AMERICAN WORKING ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY WITH AFRICAN-AMERICAN YOUTH. I SENSE IN YOUR WRITTEN COMMENTS PERTAINING TO THIS ISSUE A NOT SO VEILED SUGGESTION THAT MY ACTIONS MAY HAVE BEEN MOTIVATED BY RACISM. I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS TO BE THE CASE! AS REGARDS OUR CONTACT WITH ONE ANOTHER, I HAVE REVIEWED MY FIELDNOTES AND MY TELEPHONE LOGUE WHICH CONTAINS A RECORD OF CALLS RECEIVED. I SHOW THAT WE TALKED TWICE IN NOVEMBER 1996 ( 11/4 & 8 ) ; NOT AT ALL IN DECEMBER OR JANUARY 1997; ONCE ON FEBRUARY 21ST; NOT AT ALL IN MARCH DUE TO MY TWO WEEK HOSPITALIZATION AND RECOVERY AND NOT AT ALL IN APRIL DUE TO MY VACATION. THE ABOVE, OF COURSE, DOES NOT REFLECT MY NUMEROUS TELEPHONE CALLS AND VISITS TO FAIRFIELD RESIDENTIAL. IF YOU HAD ISSUES TO DISCUSS WHY DID YOU NOT CONTACT ME IN DECEMBER 1996 OR IN JANUARY, MARCH, OR APRIL 1997? I DID RECEIVE YOUR VOICE MAIL MESSAGE OF MAY 9 , 19971 YOU ARE A PARENT WHO DOES REGULARLY ATTEND HER SON' S JUVENILE COURT HEARINGS . IN FACT YOU HAVE APPEARED IN COURT ON SEVENTEEN OCCASIONS FOR VARIOUS HEARINGS, EIGHT OF WHICH WERE FOR DISPOSITIONAL HEARINGS . IN EVERY INSTANCE WHERE A PARENT APPEARS THEY ARE PROVIDED A COPY OF THE COURT'S ORDER. THE ONLY HEARING IN WHICH YOU DID NOT APPEAR WAS THE PLACEMENT REVIEW HELD APRIL 18, 1997 . I AM THEREFORE SOMEWHAT AT A LOSS AS TO HOW YOU COULD CLAIM THAT YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN PROVIDED A COPY OF COURT ORDERS INSOFAR AS THE BAILIFF ALWAYS ASKS THE PARENT(S) TO WAIT FOR A COPY OF THE COURT ORDER. I WILL NOT DIGNIFY YOUR "P.S . " STATEMENT WITH A REPLY. IN CLOSING MRS RUSSELL, I WISH TO POINT OUT THAT YOU AND I MAY HAVE DISAGREEMENTS BUT WE SHARE A COMMON GOAL AND THAT IS TO DO OUR BEST FOR STEVEN. THIS IS ALSO THE GOAL OF THE JUVENILE COURT AND THAT OF FAIRFIELD RESIDENTIAL. HOPEFULLY, THIS COMMON GOAL MAY LEAD US TO WORK TOGETHER COOPERATIVELY. I AM MORE THAN WILLING TO MEET WITH YOU AT ANY TIME TO DISCUSS ANY OF THE ABOVE. SINCERELY YOURS 9OHN A. VO A DPO III , PLACEMENT UNIT (510 ) 313-4106 1RS7ii0L`1UNS '1U LLk11`i J%`T A.

Continuation of Claim to: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF CONTRA COSTA COUNTY ON 1/22/96 , MR . WATERMAN ATTENDED A FOCUS MEETING AT SHORE ACRES ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AS A S . I .T. MEMBER . HE ASKED ME IF I WOULD MIND IF HE COUNSELLED STEVEN EVERY NOW AND THEN, THAT HE WOULD NOT PUT ANYTHING IN WRITING, JUST TO TALK TO HIM OCCASIONALLY TO SEE IF HE CAN STOP HIM FROM STEALING. I SAID NOT AT ALL, ANYTHING TO STOP HIM FROM STEALING. AFTER THE FIRST MEETING, I HAD NO FURTHER CONTACT WITH MR . WATERMAN, HOWEVER, ACTIONS FROM VICE PRINCIPAL M. DEHGNAN, SHOWED ME THAT THERE WAS NO FOCUS ON STEVEN, IT WAS ON ME. JOE BRISENO GAVE THE SCHOOL THE IMPRESSION I WAS AN ALCOHOLIC THAT WHEN I ATTENDED THE SECOND FOLLOW-UP MEETING ON 3/26/96 THERE WAS A COMMENT ABOUT ME BEING SICK BECAUSE MY EYES WERE RED. I HAVE A SINUS ALLERGY PROBLEM THAT PROBATION IS TRYING TO USE TO SAY I AM INTOXICATED JUST BECAUSE MY EYES ARE RED. NONE OF THE INFORMATION PROVIDED AT THESE MEETINGS WERE USED TO FOCUS ON STEVEN' S PROBLEM, BUT ON ME. ON 5/16/96 , PROBATION PRESENTED A RECOMMENDATION TO JUVENILE COURT TO EXTEND STEVEN ' S PROBATION FOR ONE YEAR AND TO GIVE HIM 30 DAYS STAYED PROVIDED HE VIOLATES PROBATION. THE JUDGE GRANTED THE ORDER. ON 7/1/96 , STEVEN VIOLATED PROBATION BY STEALING AGAIN AND MR . WATERMAN WAS NOTIFIED BY ME THE NEXT MORNING. INSTEAD OF PICKING STEVEN UP AND TAKING HIM TO JUVENILE HALL, HE TOLD ME HE HAD TO WAIT FOR HIS COPY OF THE CITATION FROM THE ARRESTING OFFICER . I SHOWED HIM MY COPY AND ALSO TOLD HIM I RETRIEVED $47 OF THE MONEY FROM STEVEN AND STEVEN SAID HE GAVE $25 TO A TEENAGER , JAMAL TOOLE WHO LIVED IN WILLOWBROOK APARTMENTS . MR. WATERMAN TOIDME TO GO THERE AND RETRIEVE THE MONEY FROM THE BOY, WHICH I DID WITH THE AID OF THE MANAGER . I THEN PHONED THE ARRESTING OFFICER , T. CONGER WHO SENT A DEPUTY TO ESCORT ME TO DEANNA EDWARDS RESIDENCE TO RETURN THE $72 WHICH WE DID. MR. WATERMAN WAS INFORMED AND STATED TO ME THAT HE STILL COULD NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL HE RECEIVED A COPY OF THE CITATION. IT WAS STATED IN COURT THArSTEVEN WAS TO AUTOMATICALLY BE PICKED UP AND TAKEN TO JUVENILE HALL AND I WOULD NOT HAVE TO GO BACK TO COURT. ON 8/8/96 , STEVEN VIOLATED PROBATION AGAIN AND THE SCHOOL AND MYSELF INFORMED MR. WATERMAN. I WAS TOLD THAT STEVEN GAVE THE CANDY OUT TO THE OTHER CHILDREN AND SOME OF THE MONEY. ALL OF THE $7 WAS RECOVERED BY THE SCHOOL EXCEPT $2 . THE TEACHER TOLD ME IF HE RETURNEI THE $2 SHE WOULD DROP THE SITUATION EXCLUDING 2 DAYS SUSPENSION. HE RETURNED THE $2 WHEN HE RETURNED TO SUMMER SCHOOL. THE FOLLOWING WEEK THE ORIGINAL SCHOOL STAFF RETURNED AND DECIDED TO CITE HIM ANYWAY. MR. WATERMAN STATED WHEN HE VISITED MY HOME, "OH, THAT WAS NOTHING , IT WAS JUST SOME CANDY. " HE ALSO SAID THAT HE DID NOT WRITE HIS REPORT TO THE COURT YET BECAUSE HE STILL DID NOT RECEIVE A COPY OF THE CITATION YET, HOWEVER, WHEN HE RECIEVES IT AND WRITES HIS REPORT AND FILE IT, IT WILL BE ABOUT 2 MONTHS BEFORE WE HAVE TO GO TO COURT WHICH WILL BE SOME TIME IN OCTOBER. ALL HE KEPT SAYING WAS IT ' S UP TO THE JUDGE. ALSO, THAT THERE IS NO ROOM AT JUVENILE HALL. (CONTINUED ON PAGE 2 ) ( 1 ) SINCE MR . WATERMAN DID NOT DO ANYTHING AFTER THE FIRST VIOLATION, I KEPT STEVEN IN THE HOUSE AND WOULD NOT ALLOW HIM TO GO ANYWHERE EXCEPT SUMMER SCHOOL WITHOUT ME. ON 9/4/96 , WHEN STEVEN WAS IN VIOLATION THE THIRD TIME, MR. WATERMAN WAS INFORMED BY THE SCHOOL AND MYSELF AGAIN. WHEN VICE PRINCIPAL T. DIAL INFORMED ME OF THE THEFT, HE STATED MR. WATERMAN WAS AT THE SCHOOL THE PREVIOUS WEEK TO GIVE HIM A LIST OF HIS CLIENTS. HE SAID MR. WATERMAN TOLD HIM STEVEN DOES IT TO IMPRESS PEOPLE , SO HE JUST WANTED ME TO KNOW STEVEN WAS TRYING TO IMPRESS THE 8th GRADE GIRLS AND APOLOGIZED FOR WAKING ME UP SO EARLY. I WAS ALREADY UP- SET BECAUSE MR . WATERMAN HAD NOT FOLLOWED HIS DEPARTMENTS RECOMMENDA- TION, BUT AFTER THE STATEMENT FROM THIS VICE PRINCIPAL AND THE TONE IN WHICH HE SAID IT, I BECAME INFURIATED. THE REASON FOR THIS IS NOT ONLY AM I AWAKE AT 5 : 30 OR 6 :00 EVERY MORNING TO PREPARE STEVEN FOR SCHOOL AND MY JOB SEARCH, BUT I SAW THE SAME PATTERN OF JUDGEMENT BEING CREATED BY A NEW SCHOOL THAT JOE BRISENO PRESENTED LAST YEAR AT SHORE ACRES ELEMENTARY. WHEN I PHONED MR. WATERMAN ON THIS IN- CIDENT, HE STATED, "I THOUGHT HE WOULD AT LEAST WAIT A WEEK." I'TE SAID HE DID FILE HIS REPORT WITH THE COURT THAT I SHOULD RECEIVE A NOTICE SOON. ON 10/10/96 , I TOLD MR . WATERMAN THAT I REPORTED STEVEN MISSING THE NIGHT BEFORE AFTER NOT RETURNING HOME FROM SCHOOL AND THAT THE SHERIFF ' S DEPT. WAS NOW LOOKING FOR HIM BECAUSE HE WAS REPORTED FOR STEALING A BIKE 2 HOURS AGO . MR . WATERMAN JUST SAID, "WELL, HE HAS TO GO TO COURT ON TUESDAY ANYWAY, AND I HAVE SEVEN OTHER KIDS TO SEE TODAY, IF I SEE HIM HERE AT AMBROSE, DO YOU WANT ME TO CALL YOU SO YOU CAN COME GET HIM. " , AS IF HE DID NOT CARE. AFTER THE SECOND VIOLATION IN AUGUST, THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND MYSELF HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET MR . WATERMAN AND EVELYNE ZULUETA TO PLACE STEVEN IN OAK GROVE DAY TREATMENT PROGRAM AND THEY BOTH HAVE BEEN IGNORING THE REQUEST. HE KEPT TELLING US ABOUT PLACING STEVEN IN BYRON FOR 6 MONTHS. THE REASON WE REQUESTED OAK GROVE WAS BECAUSE HIS COUNSELLOR AND MR. WATERMAN WERE T00 BUSY QUESTIONING MY PERSONAL LIFE AND NOT COUNSELLING STEVEN FOR STEALING. PROBATION JUST KEPT LETTING HIM STEAL AND I FELT THE SITUATION WAS GETTING WORSE AND THAT STEVEN NEEDED DAILY COUNSELLING. MR. WATERMAN ABETTED TO STEVEN' S STEALING PROBLEM BY NOT FOCUSING ON HIS PROBLEM, AND CAUSED A DELAY IN MY UNEMPLOYMENT BY FOCUSING ON MY FINANCES AND VERBALLY ABUSING ME TO HELP RESOURCES AT ABROSE CAUSING THEM TO GIVE ME THE THIRD DEGREE BEFORE ANYTHING WAS DONE. NO ONE STARTED HELPING ME EXCEPT THE HEALTHY START TEAM UNTIL SEPTEMBER. MR. WATERMAN USED COUNSELLIN INFORMATION TO TRY TO FIND SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME OUT OF RETALIATION FOR HIS PREDECESSORS. THREE TIMES SINCE AUGUST HE KEPT STATING TO ME HOW HE KNEW I HAD PROBLEMS WITH HIS PREDECESSORS , HOWEVER HE WAS NOT MY ENEMY, HE IS A .NICE GUY, HE IS MY FRIEND. WHEN I ASKED MR. WATERMAN FOR A COPY OF HIS REPORT TO COURT, HE STATED THERE IS NO REPORT, HE JUST FILED A COURT DATE. IF MR. WATERMAN WAS MY FRIEND HE WOULD HAVE DETAINED STEVEN IN JULY AND NOT LET HIM CONTINUE STEALING. IF HE WAS MY FRIEND, HE AND EVELYNE ZULUETA WOULD HAVE PLACED STEVEN IN OAK GROVE AFTER HE DID NOT DETAIN HIM SO THAT THE THEFTS AT RIVERVIEW MIDDLE SCHOOL WOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN PLACE . IF HE WAS MY FRIEND, HE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN WALKING AROUND MY NEIGH- BORHOOD QUESTIONING LOCAL STORES ABOUT STEVEN AND I STATING HE BE- LIEVES I HAVE STEVEN STEALING TO SUPPORT AN ALCOHOL PROBLEM HE HAS NO MEDICAL PROOF OF.

TO SCHEDULE STEVEN TO RECEIVE MENTAL- HEALTH COUNSELLING AGAIN FOR HIS STEALING PROBLEM. I RECEIVED A CALL LATER FROM CINDY FELTON WHO QUESTIONED ME ABOUT WHAT TYPES OF THINGS HE STEALS . I TOLD HER CANDY, TOYS AND LITTLE GADGETS . SHE ASKED ME WHAT I MEANT ABOUT GADGETS . I TOLD HER SMALL ITEMS ( i .e . - KEY CHAINS , STOP WATCH, TOOLS ) . SHE THEN ASKED ME IF I DIDN'T MIND HER COUNSELLING STEVEN BECAUSE SHE DID NOT HAVE HER LICENSE YET, THAT SHE WAS STILL IN TRAINING, HOWEVER ALL OF HER WORK IS APPROVED BY HER SUPERVISOR. I TOLD HER NOT AT ALL, ANYTHING TO STOP STEVEN FROM STEALING. SHE THEN SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR 2/1/96 . THE FIRST SESSION WE WENT THROUGH THE INITIAL PROCESS OF AUTHORIZATION INCLUDING CONSENT TO CONVERSE WITH THE SCHOOL COUNSELLOR AND PROBATION FOR INFORMATION THAT MIGHT HELP HER WITH COUNSELLING. THE SECOND SESSION, SHE ASKED ME WHAT IS IT EXACTLY THAT I WANTED THEM TO DO. I SAID, HELP ME FIND A WAY TO STOP STEVEN FROM STEALING. I FOUND THIS QUESTION STRANGE WHEN THAT WAS THE REASON I GAVE TO HER WHEN I PHONED HER INITIALLY. DURING THE CONTINUED SESSIONS THERE WAS STILL A LOT OF QUESTIONING MY LIFE STORY AND NOT ANY FOCUS ON STEVEN. SHE JUST KEPT PLAYING STRATEGY GAMES WITH HIM AND KEPT ASKING ME ABOUT MY JOB SEARCH. I HAD TO KEEP POINTING TO STEVEN AND REMINDING HER OF COUNSELLING HIM FOR STEALING. FOR FOUR AND A HALF MONTHS I STARTED FEELING COUNSELLING WAS A WASTE OF TIME WITH HER . I THEN WALKED INTO ABROSE RECREATIONAL CENTER IN JUNE TO RESCHEDULE A MISSED APPOINTMENT WITH HER AND SAW HER CONVERSATING WITH CHARLES WATERMAN, WHO INFORMED HER THAT I JUST WALKED INTO THE BUILDING. WHEN I QUESTIONED HER ABOUT THEIR CONVERSATION, SHE BECAME INFURIATED WHEN I TOLD HER SHE HAD NO RIGHT SIDING WITH HIM AND HIS RETALIATION BECAUSE SHE IS SUPPOSED TO BE STEVEN ' S MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELLOR COUNSELLING HIM ON STEALING AS I REQUESTED. SHE ALL OF A SUDDEN HAD TO LEAVE COUNSEL- LING EARLIER THAT SHE PLANNED. DURING HER LAST SESSION, I MENTIONED HER NAME BEING THE ONLY NAME IN PROBATION' S REPORT TO JUVENILE COURT, AND SHE AGAIN SEEMED INFURIATED. SHE ASKED ME HOW DID THEY GET HER NAME AND I TOLD HER PROBATION ASKED ME WAS HE RECEIVING COUNSELLING AND I SAID YES , WITH CINDY FELTON. HER INFURIATION SEEMED STRANGE WHEN SHE IS THE PERSON WHO GAVE ME A CONSENT FORM TO SIGN FOR CONSULTATION WITH THE PROBATION DEPT. STEVEN WAS THEN APPOINTED TO EVELYNE T. ZULUETA, MFCC CHILD PSY- CHOLOGIST. INITIALLY MS . ZULUETA COUNSELLED STEVEN ABOUT HIS STEALING PROBLEM, BUT ABOUT THE FOURTH WEEKLY SESSION SHE BEGAN QUESTIONING HOW WE GET ALONG AT HOME, DOES HE GET ALONG WITH HIS BROTHER, HOW IS MY JOB SEARCH GOING AND DOES HE EAT. EVERY SESSION AFTER THIS WAS GOING OFF FOCUS OF STEVEN STEALING AGAIN. EVEN AFTER STEVEN ' S VIOLATIONS THERE WAS NOT TOO MUCH CONSULTATION ON STEALING. THE BEGINNING OF AUGUST, I TOLD MS . ZULUETA ABOUT OAK GROVE DAY TREATMENT PROGRAM. I MADE THIS RECOMMENDATION BECAUSE I SAW THE WEEKLY COUNSELLING WAS NOT WORKING NOR ANY HELP FROM PROBATION. I TOLD HER THE SCHOOL DISTRICT INFORMED ME OF THE PROGRAM AND THE SUPERVISOR OF OAK GROVE TOLD ME STEVEN HAD TO BE REFERRED THERE BY HIS COUNSELLOR . I THEN STATED, SINCE WEEKLY COUNSELLING IS NOT HELPING, THIS MIGHT BE A BETTER PROGRAM FOR HIM. SHE THEN STATED DR . MELNEY WAS ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF OAK GROVE. I THEN REQUESTED THAT SHE TALK TO HIM ABOUT STEVEN AND GET HIM REFERRED THERE. ( 1 ) (CONTINUED ON PAGE 2) AFTER I MADE THE REQUEST TO MS. ZULUETA AND CHARLES WATERMAN TWICE AND THEY BOTH IGNORED ME , I THEN REQUESTED TO SEE STEVEN' S FILE FROM THE MENTAL HEALTH DEPT. MAKING THIS REQUEST TWICE ALSO BE- ING IGNORED, I THEN PHONED DR . MELNEY MYSELF TO MAKE THE REQUEST, HOWEVER, RECEIVED HIS VOICE MAIL AND LEFT A MESSAGE . THE CALL WAS NEVER RETURNED. EVELYNE ZULUETA THEN SCHEDULED A MEETING WITH PRINCIPAL JULIEN AFTER STEVEN STOLE THE CELLULAR PHONE, WHICH SHE ATTENDED. AFTER THE MEETING SHE DID NOT SCHEDULE STEVEN' S NEXT APPOINTMENT, SHE STATED SHE WOULD CALL ME . A FEW DAYS LATER , I PHONED HER AND RECEIVED HER VOICE MAIL. AFTER CALLING TWICE AND RECEIVING NO RETURN CALLS FROM HER , I THEN PHONED THE SCHOOL TO SEE IF THEY SAW HER THERE . SHE THEN CALLED TO SCHEDULE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT. THE NEXT FEW APPOINTMENTS WERE STRANGE BECAUSE SHE KEPT CALLING MY NEIGHBORS HOUSE TO CANCEL AND RESCHEDULE APPOINTMENTS EVERY WEEK BETWEEN 5 :00 & 8 :00 p.m. . THE FIRST EXCUSE WAS, HER BROTHER WAS IN TOWN FROM NEW YORK AND SHE THOUGHT HE WAS LEAVING TODAY, HOWEVER , HE IS NOT LEAVING UNTIL TOMORROW, SO CAN WE RESCHEDULE FOR TOMORROW. WHICH I DID. THE NEXT EXCUSE AFTER WAITING FOR HER FOR 45 MINUTES AND ASKING THE RECEPTIONIST TO HAVE HER CALL ME WAS , SHE WAS ON HER YACHT CATCHING UP ON HER PAPER WORK AND LOST TRACK OF THE TIME . I THEN BECAME FURIOUS BECAUSE I FELT SHE WAS PLAYING GAMES WITH COUNSELLING. MY NEIGHBOR ASKED WHY DOES SHE CALL EVERY WEEK TO RESCHEDULE, DOES SHE HAVE AN APPOINTMENT BOOK? I SAID YES . THEY THEN SAID, OBVIOUSLY SHE DOESN' T KNOW HOW TO USE IT, BECAUSE NO ONE SHOULD RESCHEDULE APPOINTMENTS EVERY WEEK. I AGREED. SHE EVEN BADGERED MY NEIGHBOR ONE DAY AFTER ALL OF THIS WHEN I MISSED AN APPOINTMENT AND STARTED YELLING, "WHERE IS SHE?" WHEN MY NEIGH- BOR STATED I WENT TO THE STORE, SHE THEN DEMANDED TO SPEAK TO STEVEN. STEVEN HAD A COLD THAT DAY, WHICH SHE KEPT FOCUSING ON. THE COLD ONLY LASTED THE WEEK-END. THREE DAYS. THE NEXT WEEK SHE TOLD ME ABOUT A NEW PROGRAM AT THE BAY POINT WELL- NESS CENTER. SHE INFORMED ME THAT DR. GWEN JOHNSON WOULD BE THERE ON THURSDAYS . SHE PRESCRIBES RITALIN. THIS SUGGESTION WAS MADE AFTER I MADE EVERYONE FOCUS ON STEVEN' S ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER WHEN THE SCHOOL STARTED COMPLAINING ABOUT INCOMPLETE WORK AGAIN. I CALLED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT AND ONCE AGAIN, NO ONE KNEW WHO I WAS TALKING ABOUT, EVEN AFTER EXPLAINING SHE WAS NEW. MS. ZULUETA 14M PHONED HERSELF AND PHONED ME BACK TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINT- MENT AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE RECEPTIONIST KNEW DR. JOHNSON. I KEPT THE APPOINTMENT, HOWEVER, STEVEN WAS NOT SEEN BY DR. JOHNSON, INSTEAD HE WAS EXAMINED BY CHDP FOR A PHYSICAL AND COUNSELLED ON CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT. THEY FOUND HIM HEALTHY AND THEN PROCEEDED TO TELL ME AFTER ALL OF THIS WAS OVER, THAT DR . JOHNSON WAS NOT THERE THIS TOLD ME MS . ZULUETA DID NOT REFER STEVEN FOR RITALIN, SHE REPORT ED POSSIBLE CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT. THIS WAS UNNECESSARY BECAUSE THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF SUCH VITIOUSNESS . CINDY FELTON AND EVELYNE ZULUETA HAVE BEEN SIDING WITH CHARLES WATERMAN TO REITERATE RETALIATI� OF FALSE STATEMENTS PRESENTED BY JOE BRISENO SINCE MAY 1995 . ( 2 ) (CONTINUED ON PAGE 3) I HAVE BEEN REPEATING AND PROVIDING INFORMATION VOLUNTARILY TO THESE COUNTY OFFICIALS SO THEY CAN HELP ME STOP MY SON FROM STEALING . INSTEAD OF HELP , ALL I HAVE RECEIVED IS HARASSMENT, VERBAL ABUSE, FAILURE TO FOCUS ON STEVEN ' S MENTAL PROBLEM, INTRUSIONS IN EMPLOYMENT AND HUMILIATION. I DON' T KNOW IF THE GOVERNMENT PROVIDES MORE FUNDING FOR TAKING AWAY AN INNOCENT PERSONS CHILD OR NOT, BUT I FIND THIS PAST YEAR AND A HALF ABSURD, NERVE WRECKING AND ASININE. THESE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE PROFESSIONALS AIDING TO STOP MY SON ' S PROBLEMS , NOT INCREASING THEM. INSTEAD IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE THEY ABETTED TO THE PROBLEM MAKING MY CONCERN FOR MY SON AND MY COOPERATION WORTHLESS . I HAVE PEOPLE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD WHO HAVE HELPED ME WITH STEVEN BETTER THAN YOUR EMPLOYEES. THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO KNOW HOW HARD AND BUSY I AM TRYING TO KEEP STEVEN OUT OF TROUBLE . NOT ONLY HAS THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF BEEN A TOTAL WASTE OF OUR LIVES , BUT ALSO A TOTAL WASTE OF COUNTY FUNDS . I HAVE BEEN HOME TRYING TO DO THE JOB THAT THESE EMPLOYEES GET PAID TO DO . ALL I HAVE RECEIVED IS AN INCREASE IN MY SON' S PROBLEM INCLUDING AND INCREASE IN VALUE. IF THEY WERE DOING THEIR JOBS PROPERLY, THE PROBLEM WOULD HAVE CEASED OR AT LEAST SLOWED DOWN, NOT INCREASE. THESE EMPLOYEES ABETTED TO MY SON' S PROBLEM, SHOWING HIM THEY WERE MORE INTERESTED IN PUNISHING ME THAN HIM FOR HIS CRIMES . EVERYONE IN THIS WORLD IS AN INDIVIDUAL. I DON ' T TEACH MY SON TO STEAL. I AM A CHRISTIAN. I WORK T00 HARD NEGLECTING MYSELF FOR MY CHILDREN TO HAVE THIS SITUATION CONTINUE. NEVER IN MY ENTIRE LIFE HAVE I BEEN PRESENTED AS BEING NEGLECTFUL TO MY CHILDREN BECAUSE EVERYONE, FAMILY, FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS ALL KNOW I HAVE ALWAYS PLACED BY CHILDREN FIRST. IF THEY DID SOMETHING WRONG, THEN THEY WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN ACTIONS BY GOING AGAINST MY TEACHINGS . AS FOR THE FOCUS ON US HAVING NO FAMILY HERE, I HAVE FAMILY HERE AND STEVEN DOES HAVE IMMEDIATE FAMILY. HOWEVER, THIS SHOULD NOT MATTER OR RAISE ANY QUESTIONS BECAUSE I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN INDEPEN- DENT AND NEVER USED MY FAMILY TO HELP WITH ANY SITUATION OR UN- FORTUNATE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT LIFE BRINGS. I HAVE ALWAYS DONE IT ALONE . I HAVE DISCONTINUED COUNSELLING WITH EVELYNE ZULUETA BECAUSE ON STEVEN ' S LAST SESSION WITH HER 10/8/96 , SHE ASKED ME TO LEAVE THEM ALONE STATING SHE WANTED TO GIVE HIM MOTIVATION FOR COURT. INSTEAD SHE BROUGHT UP SAD POINTS IN HIS LIFE AND LEFT STEVEN GOING HOME INTIMIDATED BY JUMPING AROUND AND SLIDING HER CHAIR UP CLOSE IN FRONT OF HIM EVERYWHERE HE MOVED WHILE DISCUSSING HIS GETTING HIT BY A CAR AND HIS BROTHER LEAVING HIM. THERE WAS NO DISCUSSION OF COURT OR STEALING. STEVEN WAS NEVER UPSET ABOUT HIS COUNSELLING SESSIONS UNTIL HER LAST ONE AND SHE NEVER RE- QUESTED ME TO LEAVE UNTIL THE LAST TWO. ALSO, THE LAST FOUR SESSIONS SHE WAS INTENTIONALLY MAKING HERSELF LATE BY STALLING TIME WHILE I WAS WAITING IN FRONT OF HER IGNORING MY PRESENCE AND THE RECEPTIONIST ' S NOTIFICATION THAT I WAS THERE. THE TIME RANGED FROM 10 MINUTES TO A HALF HOUR . ( 3 ) t r, YSVM " Ak ,'s M $ NAM, . 01 � 7ft- IA N Ilk , '.,.
