Pepper the robot offers friendly face tackling crimes against children | outstanding | Spanish edition

The semi-humanoid robot Pepper is being used by police in the United Arab Emirates to uncover crimes against children such as abuse and exploitation, a sensitive area where a friendly android face could prove more approachable and less traumatic for those involved.

The project from the multinational IT company Inetum uses Pepper’s artificial intelligence-driven ability to read emotions and understand human behavior to interact with the children and assess their responses to questioning when faced with a potentially distressing or even life threatening situation.

“It is one of our most beautiful and resilient projects,” head of innovation at Inetum Spain, Jesus Otero, told Efe at the Mobile World Congress taking place in Barcelona.

“The presence of the robot helps the children to open up and be more expressive in therapy despite the fear they are experiencing,” Otero said.

Eight US States Investigate TikTok's Impact on Children

san francisco — 

A consortium of U.S. states announced on Wednesday a joint investigation into TikTok’s possible harm to young users of the platform, which has boomed in popularity, especially among children.

Officials across the United States have launched their own investigations and lawsuits against Big Tech giants as new national regulations have failed to pass, partly because of partisan gridlock in Congress.

The consortium of eight states will look into the harm TikTok can cause to its young users and what the company knew about such possible harm, California Attorney General Rob Bonta said a statement.

Leading the investigation is a coalition of attorneys general from California, Florida, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New Jersey, Tennessee and Vermont.

The investigation will focus, among other things, on TikTok’s techniques to boost young user engagement, including efforts to increase the frequency and duration of children’s use.

“We don’t know what social media companies knew about these harms and when,” Bonta said in a statement.

“Our nationwide investigation will allow us to get much-needed answers and determine if TikTok is violating the law in promoting its platform to young Californians,” he added.

TikTok’s short-form videos have boomed in popularity with the youngest users, prompting growing concern from parents over the potential that their children could develop unhealthy use habits or be exposed to harmful content.

TikTok welcomes investigation

The platform welcomed the investigation as a chance to provide information on its efforts to protect users.

“We care deeply about building an experience that helps to protect and support the well-being of our community,” TikTok’s statement said.

“We look forward to providing information on the many safety and privacy protections we have for teens,” it added.

Social media’s impact on young users came under renewed scrutiny last year when Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen leaked a trove of internal company documents raising questions over whether it had prioritized growth over users’ safety.

The documents were given to lawmakers, a consortium of journalists and U.S. regulators by Haugen, who has become a figurehead of criticism of the leading social media platform.

Despite media attention on the issue and hearings before U.S. lawmakers, no new rules have gotten close to being enacted on the national level.

States have instead proceeded with their own efforts to look into Big Tech companies.

For example, a consortium of U.S. states announced a joint probe in November of Instagram’s parent company, Meta, for promoting the app to children despite allegedly knowing its potential for harm. The consortium of attorneys general, states’ top law enforcers and legal advisers, included some of the same states as Wednesday’s probe, like California and Florida.

Instagram sparked fierce criticism for its plans to make a version of the photo-sharing app for younger users. It later halted development.

La Línea Tunnel: children protested for lack of school transportation - Other Cities - Colombia

Due to the lack of school transportation, a group of children belonging to the rural educational institution San Rafael, in Calarcá, Quindío, decided to interrupt traffic for several hours in one of the short tunnels of the via the line.

The students blocked the Cóndor de los Andes tunnel with the purpose of drawing the attention of the authorities so that they expedite the contracting of the rural school transport service and that minors do not continue exposing themselves while they travel the road or asking for a quota from drivers who pass by this road.

“It’s already March and they don’t have transportation. Many live in the upper part and have to go down on foot, exposing themselves to the road. Many muleteers do us the favor of taking them down, but if something happens to one of the children, the muleteer gets into a problem,” denounced Marina García, a relative of one of the students.

The attendant added that every year is the same. “We had to make this sit-in so that they listen to us and that the rights of children are not vulnerable. There are parents who take up to 3 or 4 children on a motorcycle, so much delay with the school transport contract is not fair“.

The school transport of the institution’s students corresponds to the Mayor’s Office of Calarcá, but the entity reported that the process is currently in the stage of awarding the contract.

The Secretary of the Government of Calarcá, Juan David Ospina Salcedo, assured that next Monday the school transport service would start operating. “The commitment to the community is that on Monday the service is provided in this village and in the others in Calarcá,” he said.

Children blocked traffic in the Condor de los Andes tunnel.

They did this school and they did not put signage on it, nobody knows that there is a school in this area, it has nothing, it does not have internet, it is a school abandoned by everyone

Parents and students warned that if next Monday they do not have the service; they will once again block the passage in La Linea.

This educational institution is located in the village of San Rafael, next to the dual carriageway that leads to the La Línea tunnel. A few years ago it was relocated a few meters higher because one of the viaducts of the Central Cordillera Crossing project passed by the educational campus.

“They did this school and they did not put signage on it, nobody knows that there is a school in this area, it has nothing, it does not have internet, it is a school abandoned by everyone,” García claimed.

The Mayor’s Office of Calarcá and the Secretary of Education of Quindío will send a request to the National Institute of Roads (Invías) for the installation of signage on the road, a speed reducer and installation of a sign announcing the location of the campus to avoid accidents.

Malnutrition in La Guajira: how to help the children of the department? - Other Cities - Colombia

During an event held by the Association of Food Banks of Colombia (Abaco), together with Colombia Takes Care of Colombia and the Food Bank of La Guajira, the Thread Bank initiative was launched.

The project seeks to improve the food and nutritional security of the population in a situation of vulnerability in the department of La Guajira.

But why is it necessary?

The figures are worrying

According to figures compiled by Abaco, 726,000 people -66 percent of the population of La Guajira- live below the poverty line. Of these, 435,000 earn less than 127,000 pesos per month.

Bancos de Hilos seeks to provide quality food to children from different sectors of La Guajira.

In other words, it is the poorest department in the country.

With regard to chronic malnutrition, more than 250,000 people in La Guajira suffer from it or suffered from it during their early childhood.

The seriousness of these figures lies in the fact that those who suffer from this scourge lose 14 IQ points, have five fewer years of schooling and their income is 54 percent lowerwith respect to those who do not suffer from this disease during their first years of life.

(You can read: ‘If Bogotá does not overcome chronic malnutrition, Colombia will not’).

“We have to undertake a serious commitment to the prevention of chronic malnutrition that affects not only people who suffer from hunger but also the country’s economy and development”, assured Juan Carlos Buitrago, director of Abaco, in an official statement from the organization.

The Thread Bank initiative

The Banco de Hilos program aims to enhance the culture, the artisanal capacity of the Wayúu community and at the same time prevent deaths from malnutrition, chronic malnutrition and its consequences.

Buitrago narrated during the event a problem, which is little portrayed, that revolves around the Wayuu backpack industry. These are bought from the manufacturers, who usually belong to indigenous communities in the area, for very low prices -from 10 to 20 thousand pesos-, taking advantage of the situation of poverty faced by these ethnic groups.

This is the only way to have smarter children, (…) capable of lifting their communities out of poverty

Why is it unfair? These pieces of art are sold in stores, websites and tourist areas for prices close to 100 thousand pesosor more.

Given the need to eradicate chronic malnutrition in La Guajira, especially in children under five, and to demonopolize the sale of backpacks, the Banco de Hilos project was born.

The idea is to buy the backpacks for a reasonable price and, as payment for the work of the women artisans, they will be given a subsidy, food, education and more benefits for their children.

(We recommend: ‘In the FAO they were neglected or there was no coordination’: SAC).

“with this project We are going to improve the living conditions of 1,950 people in vulnerable conditionswe are going to strengthen the artisan skills of Wayuu women, help them market their backpacks so that they have better income, but also do community strengthening and nutritional support with pregnant women and younger children to guarantee that in these communities we have zero deaths due to malnutrition and zero chronic malnutrition“, said the director of the organization.

The idea is to buy the Wayúu backpacks made by women belonging to these communities at a fair price.

Some organizations that are part of the project are: The Global Food Banking Network, Novartis, Fundación Éxito, Fundación ARGOS, AVIANCA, Fundación Puntos Verdes, LITO SAS, Construyendo 500,001, Sierra Nevada, Kaionare, La Tienda de la Empathy, Huge and Tik Tok .

How to help?

You can buy the pieces of art developed by the women of La Guajira and allow an improvement in the food security of your children in the Abaco official website.

You also have the possibility of sponsoring a child or making your donations in money to the different initiatives of the organization, by the same means.

If you are a person or company and want to donate resources, knowledge and/or services, contact Abaco: mercadeo@abaco.org.co or WhatsApp Bussiness https://wa.me/573132457978.

The children of Uribia, a municipality located in La Guajira, are also affected by this scourge.

“The invitation is for all people and organizations to join efforts in this
draft. We are convinced that only with the confluence of wills and capacities of the public and private sectors, the third sector, academia, the media and multilateral organizations we are going to find sustainable solutions to end hunger in Colombia”, concluded Constanza Gómez, director of Colombia Cuida Colombia, in the statement.

EMA authorizes booster with Pfizer in adolescents and Moderna for children

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) recommended this Thursday to authorize the booster dose with the Pfizer vaccine in young people between 12 and 17 years old and supported the use of Moderna in children between 6 and 11 years old, with a lower dose than recommended in adults and an interval of four weeks.

Estepa Sports Center (Seville) with a mass vaccination point. EFE/Raul Caro

After analyzing interim data from a clinical trial in people over 16 years of age and real-world evidence of Pfizer booster use in young people in Israel, the EMA believes that “the available evidence is sufficient to conclude that the immune response to a booster dose in adolescents it would be at least equal to that of adults.

It assures that “no new safety problems were identified from the available data”, although it stresses that more information from studies and analyzes in adolescents is expected in the coming months.

However, the agency does not indicate a specific time interval between the second and third doses of Pfizer in adolescents and stresses that “the decision about whether and when to offer boosters in this age group” will have to take into account certain factors.

“Such as the spread and likely severity of the disease (especially with the omicron variant) in younger people, the known risk of side effects (particularly the very rare but serious complication of myocarditis), and the existence of other protective measures and restrictions ”, he details.

Therefore, the EMA recommends “the authorization” of the booster dose in this age group, in a decision aimed at “supporting national campaigns in those Member States that offer booster vaccines to adolescents”, but this does not imply that EMA encourage or urge all youth ages 12-17 to inject a Pfizer booster.

Modern for children from 6 to 11 years old

On the other hand, the agency recommended the use of Moderna (Spikevax) in children aged 6 to 11 years after reviewing a study that showed that the immune response – in antibody levels – to the lowest dose of Spikevax (50 µg) was “comparable” to that seen with the highest dose in 18-25 year olds.

“The evidence indicates that the efficacy and safety of Spikevax in children 6 to 11 years of age are similar to those in adults (…) Its benefits in this age group outweigh the risks, especially in those with conditions that increase the risk of developing Severe COVID-19,” he explained.

The most common side effects observed have been similar to those in those over 12 years of age, including pain and swelling at the injection site, tiredness, headache, chills, nausea, vomiting, fever, and muscle pain, among others, which They improve within a few days of the injection.

Moderna’s vaccine is the second supported by the EMA in children under 11 years of age, since the agency already approved last November the use of Pfizer (Comirnaty) in children between 5 and 11 years of age, also with a lower dose than that used in those older than 12 and with an interval of three weeks between the first and the second.

Children of Santa Marta receive class in billiards and cockpit - Other Cities - Colombia

In the village of Guachaca, rural area of ​​Santa Marta, the children are receiving their classes in improvised classrooms in billiards and cockpits.

In this area, the available schools are small, quite deteriorated and do not offer the minimum conditions to accommodate the student population, which has grown considerably in recent years.

The community, desperate for the new generations to receive an academic education, adapted spaces that, although not adequate, allow children to meet to pursue their studies.

Emilse Giraldo, president of the Community Action Board of the district of Guachaca, assures that the maximum coverage of educational institutions has already been reached and that many children and adolescents have been left out.

(See: Three-year-old girl drowned in a tank in Santa Marta)

“In the case of the little ones, they have been attending classes that were adapted in public establishments for adults. Although it is not ideal, it is the only option we have for them to receive the educational service,” said the leader.

Here it is necessary to fix the current institutions and build a mega-school to meet the high demand

Giraldo called on the Mayor’s Office to provide study solutions to Guachaca, a territory that, as he describes, remains in oblivion by the rulers.

“Here we need to fix the current institutions and build a mega-school to meet the high demand. This is a great need that we have and I hope it will be met by the administration on duty”, expressed Emilse Giraldo.

The parents, although they are not satisfied that their children are teaching in a cockpit, end up accepting this temporary solution in the hope that the study conditions for the population will soon improve.

(See: Due to the explosion of the bridge in Pailitas (Cesar) they establish alternative routes)

“Although these rooms were improvised, we must bear in mind that previously they were a cockpit and a pool table, which could have bad effects on the health of my children,” said Neira Tarazona, a mother of a family.

For the inhabitants of Guachaca, it is not justified that in these two years of pandemic adjustments and maintenance have not been made to schools.

“All without exception are abandoned, and do not provide minimal guarantees to educational personnel,” said the president of the Action Board.

Judge Rules Trump, Eldest Children Must Testify in Fraud Case

washington — 

A New York State Supreme Court judge on Thursday ruled that former President Donald Trump and his two oldest children will have to submit to questioning by the state’s attorney general in a civil investigation into potential fraud at the Trump Organization.

Attorneys representing Trump, his son Donald Trump Jr. and his daughter Ivanka Trump had moved to have subpoenas for their testimony canceled. They contended that it was improper for New York Attorney General Letitia James to be pursuing both a civil and a criminal investigation at the same time. James is cooperating in a criminal case that was brought by the district attorney of Manhattan.

Judge Arthur Engoron said that the Trumps’ legal argument “completely misses the mark” and that the attorney general was within her rights to demand testimony from Trump and his children.

However, while the name of the court on which Engoron sits, the Supreme Court of the state of New York, seems to suggest the ruling’s finality, the outcome is not so certain. The state of New York has two levels of judicial review that are above the Supreme Court — first the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, and finally the Court of Appeals.

This means that the Trumps have the right to appeal Engoron’s ruling, something their attorneys signaled Thursday that they planned to do.

FILE – Michael Cohen, a former attorney to President Donald Trump is seen outside his apartment building, in New York, May 6, 2019.

Case background

The case James is pursuing against Trump has its roots in revelations dating to the closing days of the Trump presidency, when Trump’s former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, testified before Congress that he was aware of financial irregularities in the Trump Organization’s bookkeeping.

Specifically, Cohen alleged that Trump and Allen Weisselberg, the chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, systematically under-reported the value of the company’s assets when disclosing them for tax purposes, in order to minimize the firm’s tax liability. Additionally, Cohen said, they would overstate the value of the same assets when pledging them as collateral for bank loans and other financial transactions.

Last month, James submitted a filing to the court listing multiple instances in which the Trump Organization had provided information to different parties in different transactions that was contradicted elsewhere.

In the same filing, James referred to testimony from Weisselberg indicating that Trump kept paper records of his financial transactions, but despite requests from her office, none of those records had been disclosed to investigators.

A raucous hearing

The judge’s ruling on Thursday followed a hearing Wednesday in which the attorney representing Donald Trump, Alina Habba, complained that the investigation was political in nature and ought to be shut down.

More than once, Habba had to be warned to stop interrupting Engoron when he was speaking, and she was also criticized for directly addressing Kevin Wallace, an attorney working for James’ office, a breach of courtroom protocol.

“I want to know, Mr. Wallace, Ms. James, are you going to go after Hillary Clinton for what she’s doing to my client?” Habba demanded at one point. “That she spied at Trump Tower in your state? Are you going to look into her business dealings?”

Habba was referring to a debunked claim that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had somehow conspired to spy on Trump while he was president.

FILE – New York Attorney General Letitia James acknowledges questions from journalists at a news conference, in New York, May 21, 2021.

Unsparing ruling

The claims from Trump’s attorney that James’ investigation has a political taint are based pledges she made as a candidate running for attorney general. James regularly promised to investigate Trump’s business dealings.

In his ruling, Engoron acknowledged that fact, but said that in his view, the significant evidence suggesting potential wrongdoing by the Trump Organization meant that failing to mount an investigation “would have been a blatant dereliction of duty” on James’ part.

“Indeed, the impetus for the investigation was not personal animus, not racial or ethnic or other discrimination, not campaign promises, but was sworn congressional testimony by former Trump associate Michael Cohen that respondents were ‘cooking the books’” he wrote.

Engoron also dismissed the claim by attorneys representing the Trumps that, by forcing them to testify in a civil case, the attorney general would be collecting statements that could be used against them in the criminal probe.

Engoron noted that the Trumps would retain their “absolute right” under the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution to refuse to answer any questions that they feel might incriminate them. He reminded them that a third Trump child, Eric Trump, had invoked his right more than 500 times in testimony provided in the same case.

Trump, James respond

After the ruling was issued Thursday, Trump issued a rambling statement that repeated the claim that Clinton had spied on him while he was in the White House, attacked James for comments she made about him during her run for office, and insisted there was no basis for either her civil case or the criminal case being pursued by the Manhattan district attorney.

“It is a continuation of the greatest Witch Hunt in history—and remember, I can’t get a fair hearing in New York because of the hatred of me by Judges and the judiciary. It is not possible!” Trump wrote.

“Today, justice prevailed,” James said in a statement released by her office.

It continued, “No one will be permitted to stand in the way of the pursuit of justice, no matter how powerful they are. No one is above the law.”

FDA Delayed Pfizer Shot for Children Because it Didn't Work Well Against Omicron

The Wall Street Journal Friday, citing sources close to the decision, reported the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) last week delayed its review of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for under-5-year-olds because initial testing showed its two-dose series was not working well against the omicron variant.

The sources told the Journal early data showed the vaccine to be effective against the delta variant during testing, while that was the dominant strain, but some vaccinated children developed COVID-19 after omicron emerged.

The report quotes the sources as saying so few study subjects, whether vaccinated or unvaccinated, developed the disease during testing so far, that the sample size of omicron cases made the vaccine appear less effective in an early statistical analysis.

The Journal sources said FDA officials think the Pfizer-BioNTech shot might wind up providing stronger protection against omicron once more cases emerge, if the bulk of infections are in unvaccinated subjects. So both the FDA and Pfizer agreed it would be better to wait for additional cases, with the extra time allowing the agency to assess the vaccine’s effectiveness as either a two-dose or three-dose regimen.

The FDA was going to make its decision by looking at whether the shot generated immune responses comparable to those seen in older people. The agency was originally scheduled to assess the shot for children 6 months through 4 years of age on February 15.

In Hong Kong

Meanwhile, in Hong Kong Friday, the city’s chief executive, Carrie Lam, announced elections for its next leader will be postponed for six weeks, as the city grapples with a worsening coronavirus outbreak with thousands of daily infections.

At a news conference, Lam said the vote, scheduled for March 27, would be moved to May 8, because holding the elections sooner could pose “public health risks,” even if a committee of only 1,462 voters were involved. She said the city “is currently facing the most serious pandemic situation since the past two years. The situation is critical.”

Patients lie on hospital beds Feb. 18, 2022, as they wait at a temporary makeshift treatment area outside Caritas Medical Centre in Hong Kong, where hospitals reached 90% capacity and COVID-19 quarantine facilities were at their limit, authorities said.

Lam also said the city is considering mandatory testing of “everyone in Hong Kong” but added that did not necessarily mean that the city would be put under strict lockdown.

She pointed to cities like Macao, which has tested its entire population twice for the coronavirus.

Health authorities said Thursday that the city’s hospitals were at 90% capacity and that its isolation facilities were full.

In Africa

Egypt, Kenya, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa and Tunisia are the first African countries to receive technology needed to produce mRNA vaccines from the World Health Organization. Two of the vaccines used in the fight against COVID-19 are mRNA vaccines.

WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus announced the award Friday in Brussels at the European Union-African Union summit.

“No other event like the COVID-19 pandemic has shown that reliance on a few companies to supply global public goods is limiting, and dangerous,” Tedros said. “In the mid- to long-term, the best way to address health emergencies and reach universal health coverage is to significantly increase the capacity of all regions to manufacture the health products they need, with equitable access as their primary endpoint.”

More than 80% of the population of the African continent has yet to receive a single dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. “Much of this inequity has been driven by the fact that globally, vaccine production is concentrated in a few mostly high-income countries,” Tedros said.

Meanwhile, The Washington Post reports that it has received a document that says the Biden administration will “surge” more than $250 million to 11 African countries for coronavirus vaccine campaigns. The countries slated to receive the “intensive support” are Angola, Ivory Coast, Eswatini – formerly known as Swaziland – Ghana, Lesotho, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia.

The Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center reported early Friday that it has recorded more than 420 million global COVID-19 cases and 5.8 million deaths. The center said 10.3 billion vaccine doses have been administered.

Some information for this report came from The Associated Press and Reuters.

Cali They activate protection for a family that asked to stop the death of their children - Cali - Colombia

Since July, a criminal attack has been unleashed against a family from eastern Cali, which is in mourning the deaths of three brothers and a nephew.

The mourners assure that the victims were not related to crimes and that they were persecuted for not attending contacts with micro-trafficking and extortion networks.

(Read in context: ‘Don’t kill us more children, please’: the cry of a family in Cali)

The Preciado Angulo family arrived among the founders of sectors such as El Poblado and Comuneros II, in the District of Aguablanca, for more than 40 years.

Milton Juvenal Preciado and Alicia Angulo raised 12 children who grew up in that popular area of ​​Cali.

Last May, two of them went to the jail of the Judicial District of Cali Villahermosa, but they would not have been found to have an alleged relationship with a gang.

On July 31, at the door of the house, Jerson Larry Preciado Angulo, 23 years old, fell mortally wounded at the hands of a gunman. The young man was a soccer player and his relatives deny that he was in business outside the Law.

(You may be interested: Due to high prices, the “corrientazo” in Cali will remain expensive for several months)

Five days later Harvin Alejandro Preciado, aged 34, died almost instantly in an attack by a gunman. He was the father of nine children.

The protection measures that had been determined for two months did not serve to stop the assassins.

Three brothers and a nephew of the Preciado Angulo family murdered in Cali

In September came the murder of Milton David Preciado, nephew of the murdered brothers and who would have witnessed the second homicide.

He was a 19-year-old who was affectionately called ‘turtle’. He was working to pursue his career as a police officer and was one day away from entering that path.

On the night of last Friday, February 11, the fourth crime occurred. A thin young man, wearing a helmet, slid down the platform of a restaurant, as shown in a video.

He came to the corner and fired a firearm three times into the head of a motorcyclist who was having a conversation with another man. The assassin unloaded the fourth impact when the victim fell with his vehicle to the asphalt.

Diego Juvenal Preciado Angulo, one of three brothers killed in Cal.

Was Diego Juvenal Preciado Angulo, who had two trades to support three children and help the family. At that time he served as a messenger. “He was a correct and hard-working man. His children and more of his family depended on him,” they say at home.

The mayor of Cali, Jorge Iván Ospina, He said that special accompaniment is needed and asked the Prosecutor’s Office to carry out actions to protect this family. He assured that it is high-profile criminality.

Prosecuted the alleged perpetrators of the crime of a father and his son

Parents ask that their children and grandchildren no longer be killed in Cali - Cali - Colombia

The Preciados have had to attend four funerals in eastern Cali. But on Friday, in the midst of their mourning when they killed their fourth member, their decision was that they would no longer remain silent in the face of the criminal onslaught.

“Let them kill us all or let the authorities intervene,” they say. They claim that they have no sin so that they are awake from fear.

The series of crimes, according to what runs in a low voice, would be on the orders of a gang and would even be involved from prison. Two of the brothers were detained, but their relatives say they were released because they have not committed crimes.

The violence has touched the Preciados, whose family has been a founder between the El Poblado and Comuneros II neighborhoodsin the District of Aguablanca, for more than 40 years.

Milton Juvenal Preciado and Alicia Angulo arrived in that territory when uncovered streets still predominated. The 12 children grew up in that neighborhood and went to the same schools and health centers as their neighbors.

They put them in a gang, but the Prosecutor’s Office found nothing in the investigation. For this reason, a lawyer is seeing how they are recognized for that time they were imprisoned

Families from strata 1, 2 and 3 reside in these sectors, who have forged neighborhoods in a wide strip of the eastern part of the city. Most of them are workers, but there are currents that affect children and young people such as gangs or bands.

In May 2021, two of the children went to prison. “They were put into a gang, but the Prosecutor’s Office did not find anything in the investigation. For this reason, a lawyer is seeing how they are recognized for that time they were imprisoned,” says the father, who is retired.

In the sector they would have had differences because they would not want to enter micro-trafficking networks, says an acquaintance. Two months later, on July 31, came the first crime. It was at the door of the Preciado house. A gunman attacked Jerson Larry Preciado Angulo, 23, without giving time to defend himself.

Relatives say that he was a soccer player and was recovering from an injury at the time of the crime.

Just after the funeral, the violence returned. It was five days later when Harvin Alejandro Preciado, 34, died almost instantly in a gunshot attack. He was the father of nine children.

The protection measures that had been determined for two months did not serve to stop the assassins.

Milton David Preciado, assassinated in September 2021.

But the violent shadow did not go away. He came murder Milton David Preciado, nephew of the murdered brothers and who would have witnessed the second homicide.

He was a 19-year-old who was affectionately called ‘turtle’. He was working to pursue his career as a police officer and was one day away from entering that path.

On the night of last Friday, February 11, the next blow came. A thin young man, wearing a helmet, slid down the platform of a restaurant, as shown in a video.

He reached the corner and approached a motorcyclist who was having a conversation with another man. Suddenly, he brandished a firearm and unloaded it three times on the head of the person he was about to get on the motorcycle. The assassin unloaded the fourth impact when the victim fell with his vehicle to the asphalt.

Diego Juvenal Preciado Angulo, one of 3 brothers killed in Cal.

It was Diego Juvenal Preciado Angulo, the son who didn’t get into trouble, who had two jobs to support three children and help the family. At that time he served as a messenger.

“He was a correct and hard-working man. His children and more family depended on him,” they say at home.

In these neighborhoods there is talk of violent acts by boys who grew up with the Preciados and the power of an ex-police officer or an alleged dissident in prison is mentioned.

The processes for the homicides of the three brothers and the nephew are currently being investigated separately.

The parents insist that their sons have no criminal record. They say that four relatives have been killed and they have no reason to hide.

Therefore, they cry out for help to the Police, the Prosecutor’s Office and the Mayor’s Office. “Someone has to listen to us, because we can’t wait for them to kill us all”.
