THE HOPS HAVE RISEN!

Thanks, I was looking for that.

There is even a California law that makes all people who knowingly return a child to harm, liable. And I talked about this verbally and in email. I can’t talk about this for too long or my own health suffers. But we ARE finally getting resources now that we can’t document the injuries anymore.

And I DID have many MANY conversations w Julia about the safety and legality of returning my child to danger everyday to the person who repeatedly punished her for requesting basic bodily needs, basic human rights.

My main goal was getting her OUT of there and into a safe classroom environment.

What was SUPPOSED TO happen was the principal was supposed to call child welfare professionals as soon as I started talking about fecal-genital rashes and my child’s screams of pain.

5 hours is a LONG time
to force a child
to sit in their own excrement.

This happened DAILY for weeks.

You may have the same thoughts I have today which are enough to throw me emotionally. The thoughts of

“WHY didn’t you just STOP taking her to that school?”

I was ignorant. I didn’t know the teacher’s union didn’t process child neglect injury documentation. I was doing what they told me to do.

At a critical time, when I was putting neosporin on toilet paper and handing it to my screaming child at night, and reassuring her that I would protect her right to safety and sanitation by helping her escape, Principal Julia Martinez was telling me I had to initiate a “parent grievance”
March 15, 2025 at 6:21 AM
From the first few days of school til I finally confirmed the unsafe classroom environment, I had been communicating with Golden Hill K8 staff and admin about the abuse and trying to get my kid out of there. “Talk to the teacher” was their answer to everything.
They insisted for the “teacher union”

The SDPD child abuse unit is investigating at this time. I gave permission to share my child’s medical history so they know none of this was caused by any pre-existing conditions.

The parent who said:
“She [Anne Wedemeyer] does weird stuff like that” had a kid in her class last year who was one of at least 2 kids that I know of who suffered A LOT from Ms. Anne’s weird abuse during the 2023-2024 school year at Golden Hill K8. I haven’t heard all his family’s stories yet.

I have been feeling a bunch of emotions about this lately. When the pediatrician asked me how I was handling all this I suddenly & unexpectedly felt my eyes well up & she handed me a tissue. I’d been putting my own processing of this on the back burner just trying to get this documented accurately.
March 15, 2025 at 5:47 AM
She also talked about the splits, & how this teacher made them do the splits. She talked about this a few times before, about how kids would cry out that it hurt & Ms. Anne would appear frustrated & tell them to try harder.

I asked another parent about it

He said, “She does weird stuff like that”
March 15, 2025 at 5:44 AM
My child was interviewed today.

She told the person that one of Ms. Anne’s punishments for students who ask for sanitation facilities was to make them go stand in the hallway by themselves out side of class for “disrupting”

The same hallway I stapled up new display borders while volunteering.

This was pre-caffeine so I do hope you can forgive the bitting

One of the neighbors has officially adopted this puppy.

And my kid decided today that they don’t like red lentils.

All I could think about tonight is how it is an honor to witness their childhood. I actually cried thinking about it.

When she said there was no guard I was like huh? Cause that didn’t sound right. She insists there were lines of cars waiting to cross talking to the border patrol but her mom saw a lane with no cars and there was no guard there so they went. I don’t know if I believe her because shes like 9.
March 14, 2025 at 5:09 AM
I hate this.

The neighbor kid went to Mexico today & saw grandma. She said TJ was empty. There weren’t people selling candy & gum in the streets walking around at the border “There was nobody” She says it’s because “they fear the government” Glad they got back ok. She claims there was no guard.

Good morning!
So it is now 9:25am and I will be finishing up this piece with fine details, and reflections using a series of washes. Mostly varnish but tints of different colors.

Whale fetus happened.

According to the San Diego Unified School District’s policy on child abuse prevention and reporting, I was supposed to receive protocol for reporting from the superintendent when requested. I have just requested this info.

AR 5141.4 was violated.
March 4, 2025 at 2:09 PM
After checking in with SDPD I found out this case was still open after I confirmed receipt of the letter from my child’s pediatrician.

A student safety professional from the cde has encouraged persistency and further reporting.
I will continue to send documentation

“DON’T MAKE ME GO PLEASE MOM PLEASE DON’T MAKE ME GO!!”
It’s early morning, shes crying on a kitchen chair refusing to move. Her backpack is loaded w her lunch, her school computer, her water bottle, & a jacket. Tears are on her face as she screams

“MS. ANNE DOESN’T EVEN LET US USE THE BATHROOM!!”
