Dear UVALDE STRONG,
Hello. My name is Judy Brady-Sertich. I have endured the criminal insanity of corruption intricately interwoven throughout those in positions of authority, within city departments, agencies, companies as well as Bexar County, State and Federal programs here in San Antonio for over 30 years !
WHEN WE WATCHED IN HORROR AS A MOTHER WAS HANDCUFFED, FORCED ON HER KNEES, OUT IN THE STREET BECAUSE SHE WAS GOING TO GO IN TO DO WHAT ALL THOSE DO NOTHING BUNCH OF DISGUSTING LAW “enforcement” CHICKEN SHITS, WOULDN’T…GO GET HER BOYS OUT OF THAT MAYHEM…A SECOND PARENT WAS PEPPER SPRAYED THEN ROUGHLY FLUNG TO THE GROUND …FOR THE SAME REASON…HE WAS BRAVE ENOUGH TO WANT TO GO IN AND GET HIS CHILD!
I was screaming at my T.V. because l am a former military spouse and was completely bewildered by 300 grown ass men LETTING CHILDREN AND THEIR TEACHERS BE VICIOUSLY TRAUMATIZED before THEY WERE KILLED! FRANTICALLY CALLING 911, EVEN HAVING THE SURVIVAL INSTINCTS TO REACH OVER AND SMEAR HER DEAD FRIEND’S BLOOD ON HERSELF AND PLAY DEAD.
I PRAY FOR HER AND THE TEACHER BLAMED BY THE MEDIA AS BEING RESPONSIBLE ??? BECAUSE SHE LEFT A SIDE DOOR OPEN.
I HAVE SEEN HER INTERVIEWS AND WHAT THAT LEVEL OF PUBLIC Cruelty DID TO HER MIND! I STILL QUESTION WHY NO T.V. NETWORK, EITHER LOCAL OR NATIONAL REPORTED THAT THE MAMA BEAR, HANDCUFFED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET …CONNED THOSE BALLESS MEN INTO RELEASING HER. THEN SHE WENT IN THAT LIFE THREATENING HELL HOLE AND GOT HER BOYS!
To this day we do not know the facts of her bravery, determination or how many children she managed to out as gutless creeps …no words ugly enough to properly describe!
As is instinctive with Texans, l waited anxiously for information on where to send donations. Was there no one there volunteering or designated to set up a place, system, bank to receive the gifts that poured in from all over the world? To date, we have never heard whether our donations…SACRIFICIAL IN MANY CASES..have been released to the victims
And because of BUSINESS AS USUAL IN CORRUPT SAN ANTONIO…I think different than most people. I didn’t trust that sending money would ever reach y’all. No bank had been identified or email or any instructions released. So I waited.
Weeks later l heard that school supplies were being asked for. Being a former Special Ed substitute teacher’s aide and Sunday School teacher ideas flooded my mind.WHAT WOULD REACH THE HEARTS OF YOUR BROKEN CHILDREN AND BREATH CRUSHED OUT OF YOU PARENTS WITH OTHER CHILDREN ALSO NEEDING SPECIAL ATTENTION??
The first thing I did was call my 4 grandkids in Virginia. Yes, they had heard about your tragedy/ongoing horror stories.
No hesitation, questions or disappointment as l asked them if l could send y’all their stock piled Christmas gifts. With four, l have to buy a little at a time. I described the activity books, a very detailed, complex dot to dot thick book for my super smart, ADHA grandson, Match Box cars for my other grandson, some razzle/dazzle sparkly clothes for my younger granddaughter and a diary…and a bracelet for my oldest granddaughter.
I cried tears of joy as they got excited that they would be helping l told them I would put their names on their gifts for your kids. Then it occurred to me that because l have tiny wrists…that l could donate many simple bracelets l used to wear to match my work clothes outfits before l retired.
I envisioned l little girls excited about something for the first time in weeks. They could choose which bracelet or hair decor they wanted and the little boys grabbed the cars and then they pulled at them from each other. And maybe that puts a smile on one of your parents’ faces…cause money is so impersonal.
I am a voracious reader so I had MANY Christian books for the older kids AND MAYBE SOME COMFORT TO YOU PARENTS.
I hauled 3 boxes to the post office. The postman at the counter was all excited to be a part of helping y’all. We still had not been provided with an address so he got in their computer system and found a zip code. The 2 other counter employees got excited too! They were checking their systems for an address we hoped would reach y’all and l watched as employees and customers (who would normally complain about waiting)… were scrambling so they could write down an address. WE CARE UVALDE STRONG!
( We) did not give to be recognized but hoped for a response to send back to my grandkids. Months later there was finally a blip on the news that Victims had to sign up on a list in November…to WAIT FOR DISBURSEMENT??
I QUESTION HOW PEOPLE’S DONATIONS WERE “handled”. Here in criminal Insanity City (San Antonio), the “norm” would be to quietly open a bank account, not say anything and draw interest off it until someone specifically asks….then pocket that interest for themselves. Did y’all ever get our donations?
I am all upset again because your FORMER police chief went on CNN and is claiming to be a “SCAPEGOAT”. But their reporter was no fool! They unexpectedly pulled up the body cam tapes from in the school hallway clearly showing him standing there, calmly on his walkie talkie. THEY WERE ALL STANDING THERE..DUMB ASSES ( Excuse me but words don’t do what they DIDN’T DO justice!)
He immediately panicked when he saw their tape and was asked to verbally explain what was happening. A lawyer leaned over whispering to him and his body poster relaxed. He got a puppy dog act on his face and said he, “couldn’t talk about it because they were his kids too.”
I am SO SORRY YOU ARE BEING SUBJECTED TO THIS ALL OVER AGAIN! ALSO WANTED TO WARN YOU THAT Nico LaHood (representing him) WAS OUR FORMER DISTRICT ATTORNEY AND HIS NAME SUITS HIM “hood”. For years he covered up and refused to prosecute our career politicians. He’s slick and aiming for false processing of the actual arrest.
He’s a criminal defense attorney now and stands for publicity. He’s slimy smart.
All l can say is GO UVALDE STRONG!
