After a 58-year old woman was found in the filthiest of living spaces, three siblings in San Antonio, Texas are facing charges for severely neglecting their mother.
Patricia Martinez was taken to the hospital in critical condition last week. She died on Saturday afternoon after being taken off a ventilator, Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said.
Salazar reported that Martinez was found in deplorable conditions. Salazar added that Martinez had some health concerns, diabetes, and other ongoing medical issues that necessitated her to be under hospice care at her home.
Officers said they were appalled to find her covered in bedsores with mold growing on parts of her body. She also had mobility and health issues that required hospice care.
Authorities first learned of the case on August 16 when Martinez’s medical care providers said that they had noticed a sudden, steep decline in her health. Authorities arrived at the house and took Martinez to the hospital for treatment.
Salazar said that Martinez’s adult children, 37-year-old Oscar Dominguez, 24-year-old Roxanna Carrero and 18-year-old Pedro Carrero, were living with her. They were allegedly responsible for caring for her.
Salazar said that the three adult children were in charge of feeding Martinez, giving her medicine, bathing her and taking her to medical appointments.
All three adult children have been charged with injury to a disabled individual causing serious bodily injury, a first-degree felony. They are being held on $85,000 bond each. Salazar said that the charges could be upgraded to murder.
Salazar said, “This case has left me and other fellow officers shaken. That poor woman payed with her life for her children’s neglect. God have mercy on their souls when their time comes.”
All three defendants remain in jail and none of them have entered a plea.
The fact that people can do these things to others is horrendous but to their own flesh and blood is just appalling. But these days people think nothing of killing innocent babies. I’ve taken care of thousands of people in my medical career and have seen some terrible things. I will never understand how people can be this way.
I agree 100%! I’ve always said if people can disregard a baby’s life, killing that baby for no other reason than convenience, it’s not surprising that these horrible stories are out there. Sad to say that much of the Democratic Party (once a REAL working man’s party with morality),has since sold its soul to the devil-in exchange for NEVER ending power, greed and control. We see it with the FBI, DOJ, CIA and many in Congress (from BOTH parties). The media which is the lapdog for these corrupt entities, plays their part as well. The ONLY recourse we have as ordinary decent citizens is to VOTE IN NUMBERS LIKE NEVER BEFORE! In numbers so great that cheating would be virtually impossible. Please, with GOD’s blessing we CAN and MUST vote out these charlatans in the midterm and in 2024, our country depends on us.
I agree with you 100% Sharon. If people can easily without conscious kill the most innocent and most vulnerable unborn/newborn babies, then killing anyone else is even easier. We live in a very sick society. God help us!!!
I say it is both sides that sold their soul to the devil. It is up to we the people to take them AL out of office.We pay them..STOP!..
It is truly heartbreaking to see a mother actually killed by her own children! Where has the “respect your elders “ gone! America has lost its soul to these demonic people in power! We must get them out now! Times up!
Lord help us reach this generation
Lord help us with this generation
What’s worse is that her “medical providers” noticed the problem and did not rush her to the hospital immediately. Instead they called “authorities” and dumped the problem in their laps. Just imagine if the 40 billion we wasted to prop up the country supporting the Biden crime empire had been used to take care of Americans in this type of situation.
