Okay so before we get to anything.

Intros/Cast:

Me [Nonbinary/18]

Friend [F/14/Bisexual]

Friends mom

Mentioned:

Friends Gf [Lesbian]

Friends mom's Bf

Friends brother [15]

Other tall friend [M/19]

Location: British Columba

~[☆}~

Last week I got to the bus stop and found my friend looking shaken and visibly upset.

I asked what was up she said that an older boy in my class had started working with her mom's bf recently.

This guy had noticed my friend had a gf and without asking her about it he told the mom's bf about it.

Then the bf told the mom about it.

Friends mom then started acting more aggressively towards my friend, yelling at her for the smallest things and go as far as trashing her room.

~{☆}~

Present:

My friend got kicked out of her house last night [Nov 15, 2019] after school.

My friend was supposed to be staying at my house for the night until her gf could pick her up the next morning.

We both got off the bus and went to her house so she could grab her duffle bag and a change of clothes, I waited outside while she did this.

She was inside for quite a while, didn't think much of it.

Next thing I know she's storming out of the house crying, she said she'd just got kicked out and that she's staying at my place to figure things out and hide from her mom and her mom's bf.

I agree'd, so we start walking away from her house and up the street.

We got about halfway up the street before her mom comes out and starts power walking towards us yelling and demanding she gets back inside the house.

An argument ensues.

Her mom grabs onto her backpack, finding out the laptop was in there (friend isn't supposed to have laptop.) [Context: she was getting cyber bullied online and tried to defend herself but her mom thought she had started the fight online] and begins yanking her towards the house saying she'd stolen the laptop, I tell her where the laptop is really from.

(I also say yanking because they're both the same 5'4" height and roughly the same 120lb weight)

(More laptop context: Her brother got the laptop from our other tall friend, her brother had this laptop until he got a new desktop set up and gave the laptop to his sister/my friend. Their mom found out about the laptop and asked about it. Friend said she got it from her brother who then turned around and said he didn't even have it in the first place. Mom took the laptop away.)

Her mom is kicking at her legs, then she tries hitting her head. My friend dodges and headbutts her mom, thus throwing her off rhythm giving her enough time to break free and run back to me.

I've been standing off to the side, ready to break up their squabble if it gets dicey.

Her mom starts demanding back the stuff she payed for (ie. The duffel bag)

My friend agrees to this even though she has nothing to carry the clothes in.

She dumps out the clothes and throws the bag at her mom. Who takes the bag and starts picking up the clothes (she didn't pay for the clothes, their grandpa, my friends gf and I payed for them) and starts heading towards the house.

We both figure she'd given up and we both haul ass up the street and begin the walk towards my house (I live across town from her)

We don't even make it around the corner before her mom comes ripping around the corner in her black Mercedes demanding she get in the car so she can be taken to the foster care administration office in another town.

My friend, still crying, stays on the grass and hauls ass up the road, they're both still yelling at eachother.

I'm walking not far behind them, still ready to break them up.

My friend says she's going to live with me

Her mom says I can't even live with me because I've been kicked out of my house a couple times (my sister kicks me out/has her friends kick me out when I do something she doesn't like) [ie. Trying to talk/vent about my mental health]

My friend runs ahead, and stands by the river bank, her mom had pulled over, she sees me walking by and starts saying I'll be charged for harboring a minor. I calmly explain that I hadn't done anything except allow her daughter to chill at my house for the night.

Mom repeats herself, saying she'll get the police to visit my house and arrest me before driving ahead, she pulls up to my friend still cussing her out, my friend, still stabdung by the river bank, says she'll jump if she isn't left alone [she's had suicidal thoughts and tendencies in the past.] Mom is yet again thrown off rythem, before driving ahead ans turning around.

I'd gotten into a call with the police and was explaining what was happening and what had happened.

Friends mom zips down the road towards the house, swerving a bit in an attempt to hit me. I jump over a haul ass towards my friend.

We're not telling the lady over the phone our information and where to send the officer to meet and talk to us.

Time skip 30 mins.

We got done telling the officer our information and we were heading towards my house, then my friend points out that her mom is actively hunting us both down, not in her own vehicle, but their grand fathers red vehicle, I look over and see her sitting at the cross lights, ready to turn into the parking lot were were just speaking to the cop in.

We haul ass down the street to another crosslight and I take the lead, leading us both down a back road that also leads to my house, my friend is constantly looking back ready to run if her mom finds us.

We take up refuge at a friends house for the night [they'd been previously informed//worked at the place we hid in first] since my house isn't a very safe place (her brother knows where I live) a and her mom WILL try to break in if she find out we're home (nobody is tho since my old man is in another couple towns over)

So no we're hiding out until Monday when we can tell the teacher who'd promised to help us if things got dicey.

[fuck-customers]

Not your typical customers... but still consumers

So... I don't work a typical customer service job, I drive a bus for young disabled/ developmentally delayed children and adults for a private company. So some context, not all the kids we work with are disabled or even developmentally delayed and don't belong in our school but do to certain issues are enrolled anyways. We refer to our kids/adults and their parents as "Consumers".  The parents are absolutely ridiculous. You have small children under the age of five and as young as 18 months going to school where they are picked up generally before 8am and dropped off between 3:15-5pm everyday without fail. We have parents who know their kids will be home with around a certain time- we give about a 15min window for route changes- and they simply won't be home... Like no one is there and we have to call them before we can take the kids back to the school or countinue our route with the kids still on the bus. Most of the parents never answer their phones~ Why the heck would you not answer your phone knowing you have a small child in school or not have a working phone for that matter???~, or if they do they give answers like "oh... well I'm not home... sooooo" Like no shit, I'm aware you're not home! I'm sitting in front of your house! "When will you be home? I can wait or come back after finishing my route... or take them back to the school..."   "Um... well, I'm not sure, I'm not home... not going to be home for a while." "Ok... so Do I need to take them back to the school?" "Well I mean, I guess but Idk when I'll get there" "Greeeeeat..." Now we have to remain kosher and polite even though we want to lay verbal smake downs on some of these parents. We also have parents that call EVERY SINGLE MORNING before it's even time to pick up their kids. Some parents will call 15 mins before normal pick up. "Hey, I was wondering if y'all have been by yet?" It's not even 7 yet... you're kid doesn't get picked up until at least 7:05 at the earliest... chill, stop trying to toss your kid off and be a parent.  The worst though, are the kids that come to school flithy. I'm not talking normal kid dirty either... I'm talking have had lice for 3+months, been treated multiple times- at least once a week generally by the school- have fleas, look as if they haven't been bathed in a few days and have a smell to match. Clothes that look like they've been pulled straight from the dumpster. Shoes don't fit, clothes don't fit... like these are kids that make you want to cry because you can usually see the bugs crawling on them... from lice to bedbugs... The parents just don't care. The worst part about it though... the school is a mandatory reported of abuse and neglect, but it doesn't matter how many write-ups we do or anything else they won't report it to CPS or DHS. We have kids that we know don't get to eat anywhere but the school. We have kids that we know are abused because they show up with random unexplained bruises and the parents will either try to hide it or laugh it off  "Oh yea... Little jimmy is just such a boy" but the kids... some of them... TALK! They talk to us, their bus driver and monitor and we know and see more than the teachers at school. So we know and we do reports and the school does nothing. We also risk our jobs if we call in and report directly to CPS/DHS... we can be fired for trying to protect our kids... because we get attached, we learn about their home lives, we learn about each of them personally and build relationships with them... So in short... Fuck shitty parents and shitty managment that doesn't protect our kids/consumers.

On the BJWT website FAQ page Eduardo claims that Stage 2 and Stage 2B together are a combined 120 acres but only 30 acres are currently built on. Thanks to Google Maps and its distance/area measurement tool we can clearly see that this is a false claim, in other words a lie. 

Other places where Eduardo has given info on how “big” his stages are, take note of the inconsistencies:

Vogue: Heavy Petting Article (2015)   “When they get bigger, they're relocated to Stage 2, an eight-acre ranch nestled in the dense forests of Mexico, a short drive from Eduardo's home. The area is already expanding and a 45-acre extension is under way. Finally, Stage 3, currently in the works, will be a permanent home that comprises some 3,000 acres of land for the big cats to freely roam.” 

Instagram Post: 2014 (beginning of Stage 2) “Stage 2 consists of 6 Acres (2.4 Hectares) for my kids to be able to live and run freely.”

Gizmodo: Celebrity Studded Article (2016) “While Serio plans to create a 3000-acre “Stage 3” area for the mature cats, according to the Black Jaguar-White Tiger website, he has just eight acres of finished enclosures fully ready for his burgeoning horde of animals.”

Instagram Post (2014) “Introducing Stage 2's addendum: 28 Acres more (12 Hectares). I still don't know exactly what I'm going to do with it but it's huge. Note: This is not Stage 3.”

FaceBook Video: Stage 2B (posted 2017) “There are 22 acres here (We have a total of 135 in the area). We won't use the rest since Stage 3 is upon us.” 

BJWT Stage 2B is built right next to a series of soccer fields, all of which are about the size of a standard field (1 acre). When compared to the area where the enclosures are built one can see that the 2 fields are easily equal in size to said area. Eddie’s claims of the enclosures being built on 30 acres of land are completely fabricated.

We know the distance measurements are accurate estimates because the soccer field areas equal the standard regulated size.

Through these pictures we can see that Stage 2 is only about 2 acres in size and Stage 2B is about 19 acres. Together they are: 21 acres. Their total is no where close to 120 acres like Eduardo claims, not to mention not even amounting to the 30 acres that the enclosures are supposed to be built on.

This doesn’t even take into account the fact that a good portion of Stage 2 is supposedly “quarantine” meaning the animals aren’t supposed to be housed there permanently. This would lessen the usable living space even more. We also can’t forget that Stage 2B is home to not only Eddie’s big cats but coyotes, bears, monkeys, pigs, and stray dogs. This means his cats have an even smaller amount of space to be housed on.  We also can’t forget about the fabled Stage 3, an area that legend says ranges from “hundreds” to “thousands” of acres depending on Eddie’s mood. There have been no updates, photos, or information on this rumored stage 3 since 2014, theorists claim that the stage is nothing more than gossip and fiction.

The coordinates/addresses for the 3 locations (see for yourselves):

Stage 1: The Ranch/“Nursery”/Eddie’s Home Eduardo lives in one of the wealthiest suburbs in Mexico City, Jardines del Pedregal. It’s a 30 min drive from here to Stage 2.

Stage 2: “The Gardens” About an 11 min drive from here to Stage 2B.

Stage 2B Notice the sports center & soccer fields directly next to the property. About another 30 min drive from Stage 1 to Stage 2B. The BJWT website has no information on location or addresses for its foundation and its 3 stages. Thanks to context clues, various articles, interviews, and photos from BJWT Watchdog I was able to find the coordinates for all 3 locations.  Some screenshots/images come from here and here. Thanks to accounts like these that are helping to spread the truth!
