"Daddy ate my Eyes" - Shocking True Story

BAKERSFIELD California -- A horrifying case of alleged child abuse has surfaced in Bakersfield, where a 34-year-old father is accused of biting out one of his son's eyes and mutilating the other. Police say Angel Vidal Mendoza appeared to be under the influence of PCP when he attacked the 4-year-old boy April 28. After the attack on his son, police say Mendoza rolled his wheelchair outside and began hacking at his own legs with an ax. A neighbor found 4-year-old Angelo Mendoza Jr. naked, unconscious and covered in blood on the floor of his home. Officers later discovered that one of the boy's eyes was missing and the other eye was horribly damaged. Investigators said the child told them, "My daddy ate my eyes." Doctors at Mercy Hospital say it's unclear whether Angelo will regain vision in his right eye. The boy's mother wasn't home at the time of the attack. A court hearing set for Wednesday was postponed. Deputy Public Defender Joel E. Lueck said Mendoza was hospitalized, recovering from the wounds on his legs. Judge Colette Humphrey issued a gag order prohibiting attorneys and investigators from commenting about the case. Mendoza is facing felony charges of aggravated mayhem, torture, willful cruelty to a child and inflicting injury upon a child. Mendoza has a criminal record going back to 1997 that includes convictions for selling alcohol to a minor, battery and check forgery. Mendoza and the child's 23-year-old mother, Desirae Marie Bermudez, were charged with being ...

MICRA Victim - CBS-2 Report on Delaney Gonzalez

Approximately 98000 Americans die every year because of medical errors. In California, a law that hasn't changed since 1975 takes away the right of injured Californians to hold an incompetent doctor or negligent hospital accountable for medical errors. California's "malpractice cap" limits compensation for pain and suffering because of medical negligence to $250000. This cap on compensation for injured Californians hasn't been adjusted for inflation since 1975. It would be more than $900000 in today's dollars. Put that in perspective: The minimum wage would be $2.10 an hour if it hadn't changed since 1975. The cap never changes, no matter how severely you are injured, if you lose your sight, your fertility, or even your child. Because of the cap, people who are injured - and don't make a lot of money - can't find attorneys in California. The cost to prepare and try a case for retired seniors, women who don't work, children or low-income Californians is often more than the case is worth. Without an attorney, health care providers aren't held accountable for hurting people with medical mistakes, neglect and abuse. This and many other videos are part of the site JusticeForPatients.org. JFP is an attempt to illustrate the human cost of this out-moded and arbitrary cap on a victim's financial compensation.
