Human Rights Collective Statement – San Diego Under Watch

Truth Under Threats

The Collective Writing Agency stands in solidarity with the family of Evelyn Lopez and her two young daughters Malaika and Xayah Robinson.

The events unfolding within San Diego County represent an unmistakable pattern of retaliation, intimidation, and abuse of power by those sworn to protect children and uphold justice.

The Courts of Retaliation

The campaign to silence this family now spans two separate courtrooms:

Department 4 in the Vista Courthouse, where officials have weaponized a retaliatory restraining order to suppress free speech and silence public advocacy; and

Department 10 at Meadow Lark — under Judge Alexander M. Calero — where the systemic case-fixing, rights termination, and permanent separation of a mother and her children are being executed.

Both courts serve one machine: one to intimidate, the other to destroy.

A Network of Misconduct

This operation involves key officials including

Judge Alexander M. Calero, Judge Alejandro Morales, County Counsel Jesica Nicole Fellman, Guardian ad Litem Supervisor Nicole McConn, Social Worker David Miller, and Supervisor Nicole Montzingo-Avila — together with Director Kimberly Giardina, Deputy Director Alfredo Guardado, Supervisor Monica Montgomery Steppe, and aide Mariah Jameson — have each played a role, directly or indirectly, in retaliation, witness intimidation, and coercion against those exposing abuse and defending family integrity.

Their coordinated inaction and silence have allowed ongoing trauma, systemic cover-ups, and the weaponization of children’s voices to continue under the guise of “protection.” This emerging complicity now extends beyond county departments into the very institutions sworn to safeguard justice and human dignity.

At the center stands a shielded caregiver, protected by the agency, who has broken every rule of caregiving — engaging in deceit, manipulation, and deliberate efforts to alienate and unlawfully keep the children from their blood family.

These are not her children. They are being used as instruments of control — silenced witnesses in a system that hides behind the words “child welfare.”

Elder Intimidation and Judicial Abuse

During the October 24, 2025 hearing in Department 4, the presiding judge Alejandro Morales invoked the family’s 88-year-old elder-dependent relative seated quietly in the back of the courtroom, repeating, “I know you take care of your mother. I’d hate to see you get arrested.”

This was not compassion — it was judicial intimidation, using an elderly dependent as leverage in a campaign to break a family’s spirit.

Emerging Complicity

Following the actions initiated by Guardian ad Litem Supervisor Nicole McConn, who leveraged the caregiver’s petition as a weapon of retaliation, new judicial involvement has deepened the appearance of systemic coordination. Judge Alejandro Morales, by allowing and echoing these tactics in open court, is now entangled in a broader pattern of retaliatory abuse.

Whether aware of it or not, his participation extends the chain of complicity—linking county officials, counsel, and court actors in a coordinated effort to silence truth and obscure harm to children. Instead of protecting family integrity, the system has weaponized its power to instill fear and erase voices of accountability.

A Silencing Campaign

The family’s advocacy has exposed trauma, retaliation, and potential sexual-abuse cover-ups involving the children’s current placement.

Rather than investigate, the agency has sought to criminalize speech, retaliate through legal filings, and terrorize those demanding truth.

The collective affirms that these actions form part of a coordinated cover-up, intended to silence witnesses, retaliate against whistleblowers, and erase public accountability.

The Disappearance

Can you imagine waking up one morning and being told you will never see your mother again?

No one explains. No one tells you why.

You’re three years old — or barely two — and the people who smile in front of you are the same ones who decided your whole world should vanish.

Somewhere, a judge signs a paper. Somewhere else, a social worker nods, satisfied.

And in one instant — boom — a family disappears.

A mother’s arms go empty. A grandfather’s house falls silent.

And two little girls, still believing that love keeps people together, are about to learn that in this system, it doesn’t.

They don’t know yet that the goodbye will be forever.

They don’t know that the people in charge have already decided they’ll never go home.

That is what’s being done — not in darkness, but in daylight, in offices with titles like “child welfare.”

Until they are brought home, this story will not fade.

Until Malaika and Xayah Robinson are safely reunited with their family, the Collective will continue to write, record, and reveal.
