ALFREDO GUARDADO 39

Dr. Elizabeth Hernandez and Alfredo Guardado and Their Involvement in the Retaliation Concerns Surrounding San Diego’s Child-Trafficking Allegations

San Diego County is fully accountable for the safety of Malaika and Xayah while preventing reunification. That responsibility extends specifically to Director Alfredo Guardado.

🎬 3… 2… 1… Action. Our children just showed up in a national documentary.

Deputy Chief Kimberly Giardina walked out on November 6th. Not a coincidence. One down. 8,000 more protected by this system to go.

Alfredo Guardado: 39 ADOPTIONS, ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY

Pure Evil

Smile for the camera eye, Alfredo. The banner says ‘Happy Adoption Day,’ but the lens captures something else: ignored abuse, blocked reunification, and children crying for their real family. The camera eye never lies — even when you do.

San Diego’s Child Welfare system is defrauding the federal government through abusive misuse of Title IV-E funds — rewarding removals, punishing reunification, and financially incentivizing the very retaliation the Robinson-Lopez, Jay & Jennifer Roydson, and Julius & Lee Ann families are living through.

They celebrated 39 adoptions. They hid the video. That’s what child-trafficking looks like when the lights come on.

Funny how the 39-adoptions celebration went private the minute the public connected the dots. Uploading a fresh one doesn’t erase the child trafficking behind the numbers.

While San Diego County leadership stands in front of a banner celebrating 39 adoptions like it’s a festival, real families across this county are being torn apart, silenced, and punished for speaking up. What Alfredo calls “an amazing day” is not amazing for the countless children who are still separated from families who love them and fought to raise them. It is not amazing for the children crying for their mother. It is not amazing for grandparents who have been approved, cleared, and still pushed aside. It is not amazing for the children who never got a chance to come home.

Adoption Day makes for great headlines. But what about the reality behind the curtain?

San Diego County rarely talks publicly about the number of successful reunifications. They don’t stand on stage to announce the number of children returned to their families. They don’t celebrate the mothers who completed their case plans. They don’t acknowledge the grandparents approved and ready to care for their grandbabies.

The public sees balloons and banners. Families see trauma, confusion, and separation that never had to happen.

THE QUESTION SAN DIEGO WON’T ANSWER

If San Diego County can proudly celebrate 39 adoptions, then the public deserves to know: how many children were successfully reunified this year?

Because that number — the reunification number — is the one that truly reveals whether the system is healing families or simply replacing them.

Why is adoption celebrated publicly, but reunification whispered privately?

Why is adoption filmed, but family reunification hidden?

Why do we see smiling photo ops, but no acknowledgment of the families begging to be heard?

These are questions Alfredo has never answered on camera.

THE GAP BETWEEN CELEBRATION AND REALITY

While county leadership prepares speeches, press releases, and public celebrations, families continue experiencing sudden visitation cuts, retaliation for speaking out, ignored medical concerns, trauma reports brushed aside, non-relative placements favored over approved relatives, and case decisions that punish parents instead of helping them.

Children are not props for a PR event. They are not numbers. They are human beings living through decisions adults make behind closed doors.

WHERE IS THE ACCOUNTABILITY?

If San Diego County wants to celebrate adoption so loudly, then it must also explain why so many families are reporting retaliation, explain why approved relatives are blocked from placement, explain why concerns raised by parents and grandparents go unanswered, explain why children bonded deeply with their families remain in stranger-care, and explain why trauma evidence disappears into silence.

Celebration means nothing without accountability.

And accountability means nothing without transparency.

THE PUBLIC HAS QUESTIONS — AND THEY DESERVE ANSWERS

Families across the county are asking the same things.

Why are children not being reunited with safe, approved relatives?

Why do adoption statistics matter more than family preservation?

Why are mothers punished for speaking publicly?

Why are grandparents with clean records pushed away?

Why are concerns about children’s emotional well-being dismissed?

Why don’t we see 39 reunifications on stage?

Alfredo may call Adoption Day “amazing,” but for many of us, “amazing” would mean children coming home to their families.

THE TRUTH SAN DIEGO DOESN’T WANT TO CELEBRATE

Reunification is healing. Reunification is justice. Reunification is family. Reunification is supposed to be the priority of the law and the goal of child welfare.

But reunification is not profitable. Reunification doesn’t make headlines. Reunification doesn’t give the county a PR moment.

Adoption Day is a celebration for some, but a painful reminder for countless others.

UNTIL THE SYSTEM CHANGES, THIS PAGE STANDS AS A RECORD

This page exists for one reason: to remind San Diego County that Malaika and Xayah Robinson have a blood family who loves them — a family that has fought every day for their safety, their stability, and their right to come home.

No banner, no speech, and no “amazing day” can erase that truth.
