It's the only one in Baja California, home of the San Ysidro-San Diego border crossing, the most crossed land border in the world. Tijuana has long had a reputation for being a playground for the shadowy underbelly of both Mexican and American society.

People fall through the cracks. Then there's the issue of what to do about the victims -- sometimes they get sent home to the very people who originally sold them, and sometimes they have nowhere to go at all. Until last June, when Alma Tucker opened La Casa del Jardin, it meant that many victims simply ended up in jail or on the streets, caught up in a spiral of prostitution and often addiction and perpetuating the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tucker sees it as her mission to stop this spiral.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If those girls are not treated right, as adults sometimes they can turn to be victimizers.

She first became aware of the issue of trafficking when she was working for the Department of Protection in San Diego's Mexican Consulate.

Then she realized that nobody was doing anything to help people directly, so she started La Casa del Jardin last June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now she takes in girls who are sent to the house after they're rescued by authorities in Mexico and the United States. She takes a multidisciplinary approach to the group home. In addition to regular classes, the girls get music, art and yoga -- and medical treatment and therapy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few miles north, in Chula Vista, City Councilman Rudy Ramirez is one of Alma Tucker's biggest champions. He helps her put together events to raise awareness and funds for new beds and additions that La Casa del Jardin desperately needs. It's a large building, but there's always demand for more room. Ramirez says that heightening awareness is particularly important because the issue of human trafficking is difficult to grasp.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's not the sort of thing that you expect happens anymore, right?\" he says. \"You think this happens somewhere else, some other continent somewhere, so it is surprising to hear that it happens here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ramirez also says that \"human trafficking\" can mean many things, and its scope is so vast that it becomes difficult to understand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I mean it happens in lots of ways where, in some cases because of issues in the home, these young ladies will leave their home, and as a result be taken in by somebody who just wants to exploit them, basically, and enslave them,\" he said. \"And they do, in the sex trade or in other work, domestic work -- there are all kinds of different cases that you hear about.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People might keep slaves in their homes as maids, preventing them from escaping by threatening to tell the authorities that they have no papers. Or, like Zuria, they might be forced into prostitution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue of trafficking is many-pronged, and as such requires an approach from a number of different fronts, says Alma Tucker. With a stronger economy, cultural changes, more of a voice for young people, more government involvement and better security, human trafficking and slavery might become things of the past. But for now, she has a lot of work to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They don't choose what they go through,\" she says. \"They are victims and they need to be rescued. All those girls that are there, and all those girls that are already victimized, they deserve a better life.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zuria, the teenager who once was forced into prostitution, says she gets through her life day by day. But she thinks her experiences have made her stronger. It also helps her to be able to share with others, she says, who have had similar things happen to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She hopes one day to be either a bilingual secretary or get a job in law enforcement, working on the issue of human trafficking.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Newbrough subsequently sued the parents for breach of contract in small claims court and won.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The inspector who found the infant in the closet and shut down the facility also discovered that there weren’t enough caregivers\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>providing supervision, a violation that Newbrough had received before. In years prior, inspectors cited the day care seven times for threatening the health, safety or rights of children, its most serious violation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newbrough, who didn’t respond to requests for comment, is no longer operating a day care. But that doesn’t mean she’s entirely out of the child care business in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newbrough still is listed as the president and founder of \u003ca href=\"http://pandpsitters.com\">Prince and Princess Sitters\u003c/a> on the company’s website.

The goal of department supervisors, she said, was \"to protect the firefighter who was actually responsible for the death of Ye Meng Yuan.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ye was one of three teenage girls who died after Asiana Airlines Flight 214 crashed while attempting to land at SFO last July 6. She was injured in the crash and was lying close to the plane when firefighters arrived to fight a fire that had erupted in the damaged aircraft. In a story earlier this month, Chronicle \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/01/10/123178/fire-rig-driver-alerted-to-SFO-Asiana-crash-victim\" target=\"_blank\">reporter Jaxon Van Derbeken recounted\u003c/a> video evidence that shows how \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/default/article/SFO-crash-survivor-was-run-over-by-two-fire-rigs-5055771.php\" target=\"_blank\">two San Francisco Fire Department vehicles ran over Ye\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first vehicle was reportedly driven by a firefighter named Jimmy Yee. Duckett was driving the second vehicle. The \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/07/19/104116/-asiana-victim-run-over-by-emergency-vehicle\" target=\"_blank\">San Mateo County coroner later reported\u003c/a> that Ye, 16, died of multiple blunt force injuries consistent with being run over by a vehicle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Matier & Ross account Duckett's claim says:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>... When Duckett showed up for a meeting with Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White and other brass on July 22, the claim says, she was told \"that she needed to admit to the incident and take responsibility\" for the girl's death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duckett told her bosses that \"there was a video showing that Rescue 10 (reportedly driven by Yee) was the vehicle that had hit and killed\" the girl. \"Notwithstanding, they continued to insist that Elyse Duckett was responsible for her death.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later that day, according to her attorney, Eduardo Roy, Duckett received repeated phone calls from KGO TV reporter Dan Noyes wanting to talk to her about the crash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roy said Duckett \"believes that her identity, contact information and involvement were disclosed to Dan Noyes by one or more individuals\" in the Fire Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three days later, the station ran a story \"falsely identifying\" Duckett as the driver responsible for killing Ye, according to the claim. Her name promptly was picked up by other media around the world, the claim says.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Such claims often lead to lawsuits.

The goal of department supervisors, she said, was \"to protect the firefighter who was actually responsible for the death of Ye Meng Yuan.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ye was one of three teenage girls who died after Asiana Airlines Flight 214 crashed while attempting to land at SFO last July 6. She was injured in the crash and was lying close to the plane when firefighters arrived to fight a fire that had erupted in the damaged aircraft. In a story earlier this month, Chronicle \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/01/10/123178/fire-rig-driver-alerted-to-SFO-Asiana-crash-victim\" target=\"_blank\">reporter Jaxon Van Derbeken recounted\u003c/a> video evidence that shows how \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/default/article/SFO-crash-survivor-was-run-over-by-two-fire-rigs-5055771.php\" target=\"_blank\">two San Francisco Fire Department vehicles ran over Ye\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first vehicle was reportedly driven by a firefighter named Jimmy Yee. Duckett was driving the second vehicle. The \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/07/19/104116/-asiana-victim-run-over-by-emergency-vehicle\" target=\"_blank\">San Mateo County coroner later reported\u003c/a> that Ye, 16, died of multiple blunt force injuries consistent with being run over by a vehicle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Matier & Ross account Duckett's claim says:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>... When Duckett showed up for a meeting with Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White and other brass on July 22, the claim says, she was told \"that she needed to admit to the incident and take responsibility\" for the girl's death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duckett told her bosses that \"there was a video showing that Rescue 10 (reportedly driven by Yee) was the vehicle that had hit and killed\" the girl. \"Notwithstanding, they continued to insist that Elyse Duckett was responsible for her death.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later that day, according to her attorney, Eduardo Roy, Duckett received repeated phone calls from KGO TV reporter Dan Noyes wanting to talk to her about the crash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roy said Duckett \"believes that her identity, contact information and involvement were disclosed to Dan Noyes by one or more individuals\" in the Fire Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three days later, the station ran a story \"falsely identifying\" Duckett as the driver responsible for killing Ye, according to the claim. Her name promptly was picked up by other media around the world, the claim says.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Such claims often lead to lawsuits. Duckett is seeking $300,000 in damages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In 1998, it was discovered many of his stories, and the memorable characters whose tales he related, were completely fabricated. To make matters worse, he also fabricated evidence that his stories were true.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Glass, now 41, eventually graduated from law school, was rejected by the New York State Bar on moral grounds, then came to California, where he passed the bar exam in 2007. Today’s court ruling is on Glass’s application to practice law in the state. The court rejected the application, ruling that Glass was unfit to practice law despite 12 years of psychotherapy and a record of pro bono work as a law clerk. Here’s the decision’s conclusion (with the full ruling embedded below):\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Glass and the witnesses who supported his application stress his talent in the law and his commitment to the profession, and they argue that he has already paid a high enough price for his misdeeds to warrant admission to the bar. They emphasize his personal redemption, but we must recall that what is at stake is not compassion for Glass, who wishes to advance from being a supervised law clerk to enjoying a license to engage in the practice of law on an independent basis. Given our duty to protect the public and maintain the integrity and high standards of the profession, our focus is on the applicant‟s moral fitness to practice law. On this record, the applicant failed to carry his heavy burden of establishing his rehabilitation and current fitness.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"doc_25361\" src=\"//www.scribd.com/embeds/202587734/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&show_recommendations=true\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

In 1998, it was discovered many of his stories, and the memorable characters whose tales he related, were completely fabricated. To make matters worse, he also fabricated evidence that his stories were true.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Glass, now 41, eventually graduated from law school, was rejected by the New York State Bar on moral grounds, then came to California, where he passed the bar exam in 2007. Today’s court ruling is on Glass’s application to practice law in the state. The court rejected the application, ruling that Glass was unfit to practice law despite 12 years of psychotherapy and a record of pro bono work as a law clerk. Here’s the decision’s conclusion (with the full ruling embedded below):\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Glass and the witnesses who supported his application stress his talent in the law and his commitment to the profession, and they argue that he has already paid a high enough price for his misdeeds to warrant admission to the bar. They emphasize his personal redemption, but we must recall that what is at stake is not compassion for Glass, who wishes to advance from being a supervised law clerk to enjoying a license to engage in the practice of law on an independent basis. Given our duty to protect the public and maintain the integrity and high standards of the profession, our focus is on the applicant‟s moral fitness to practice law. On this record, the applicant failed to carry his heavy burden of establishing his rehabilitation and current fitness.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"doc_25361\" src=\"//www.scribd.com/embeds/202587734/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&show_recommendations=true\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

(Berkeleyside has agreed to identify him only by his first name, Adam, because he was the victim of a crime.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he was walking east along Woolsey near Tremont and noticed three men who were huddled together, looking down and whispering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My instinct was to run,” Adam said. “But I thought to myself, ‘You can’t just run every time you see people huddled together.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He quickened his pace and continued up the street. Moments later, Adam said he felt the hairs on the back of his neck prickling. He started to turn around, and two of the men were right there. They each grabbed one of his arms and pulled him toward a nearby fence. A third man pointed a gun at him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He put his hands in my pockets and started taking stuff,” said Adam. “The guy behind me took the backpack off me. Then they casually walked away. They didn’t run. It was like it was no big deal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They told him to walk the other way. But one of them said, ‘The ring, too. Don’t forget his ring.” The man with then took his wedding ring off his finger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Realizing he’d have no way to get inside his home, he asked the men to return his keys. They threw them his way and headed off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout the night, Adam said, he checked the Find my iPhone app to see if his phone’s signal might appear.

(Berkeleyside has agreed to identify him only by his first name, Adam, because he was the victim of a crime.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he was walking east along Woolsey near Tremont and noticed three men who were huddled together, looking down and whispering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My instinct was to run,” Adam said. “But I thought to myself, ‘You can’t just run every time you see people huddled together.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He quickened his pace and continued up the street. Moments later, Adam said he felt the hairs on the back of his neck prickling. He started to turn around, and two of the men were right there. They each grabbed one of his arms and pulled him toward a nearby fence. A third man pointed a gun at him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He put his hands in my pockets and started taking stuff,” said Adam. “The guy behind me took the backpack off me. Then they casually walked away. They didn’t run. It was like it was no big deal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They told him to walk the other way. But one of them said, ‘The ring, too. Don’t forget his ring.” The man with then took his wedding ring off his finger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Realizing he’d have no way to get inside his home, he asked the men to return his keys. They threw them his way and headed off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout the night, Adam said, he checked the Find my iPhone app to see if his phone’s signal might appear. Around 11:30 p.m., a signal for the phone suddenly showed up in East Oakland near 85th Avenue and San Leandro Street. An officer later retrieved it for him.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\"When we were having a series of robberies on Prince Street some years back, addressing the lighting issues seemed to have a positive effect.\"\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Better lighting may make a difference, some say\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neighbors and officials have said they believe a lack of adequate lighting in the area may be contributing to the robberies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nancy Carleton, co-chair of the Halcyon neighborhood group, said neighbors have been asking for help from the city to improve what she described as “subpar” lighting.
