smiling faces????

part two

after following up on comments from readers, I see that Gularte pled guilty for beating his 2-year old son to death!! it's a very disturbing story and the question is why is this scumbag POS the director of a company called Smiling Faces Youth Program? who are they? I can find no real info on them....but I did find some info on Gularte's case....

Cache County
Victim: Edward Raymond Gularte IV, 2 years
Died: Oct. 1, 2001
How died: Beating
Accused: Edward Raymond Gularte, III, father
Charge: Child abuse homicide, third-degree felony
Outcome: Pleaded guilty; 1st District Judge Gordon J. Low suspended a zero-to-five-year sentence and ordered Gularte to spend 15 months in jail. He was granted credit for time served and released.

Gularte originally claimed his kid fell down some stairs!
Assistant Utah Medical Examiner Maureen Frikke found injuries covering the body of Edward Raymond Gularte IV that she testified couldn't have come from a fall or rough play with a sibling. Severe blows to the abdomen killed him. His liver had a 1 1/2 inch long tear. Part of his small intestine was cut in half.

15 MONTHS IN JAIL? THAT'S IT? WTF IS UP WITH THAT JUDGE LOW???

Edward Raymond Gularte III, 24, pleaded guilty April 7 to one charge of child abuse homicide, a third-degree felony. His son, Edward Gularte IV, died in October 2001 from a blunt force injury to the abdomen.

Gularte III was arrested in January 2002 on suspicion of beating his son to death. Gularte III has maintained that his son/s injuries, which included more than 60 bruises to the body and head, occurred when the toddler fell down a flight of stairs.

Later, Gularte III also told authorities the bruising on his son/s abdomen occurred when the toddler was roughhousing with his 3-year-old brother.

However, state autopsy reports released in January 2002 concluded that Gularte IV/s death was a homicide and not caused by a fall.

this is outrageous....you can beat the shit of a 2 year old in Utah, you can kill a child, and it's only a third degree felony?
 

 

and this Gularte guy runs a youth care program in Santa Barbara? I demand a
full on probe of Smiling Faces Youth Program by authorities so I called Mr. Superintendent..they call him Dr. David Cash..I had some questions.....I wanna know if the SBUSD contracted with Smiling Faces and Cash's assistant Mimi called back... I asked her four questions, three of which she wouldn't answer because of the lawsuit... really? in a civil case??

she also said the school district did not have any contracts with the Smiling Faces program...

ok...so why are they being sued by Gularte?? I'll try and find out on Wednesday..I'll have some questions for this dude...
