Emilia was a helpful and quiet child. At the age of 14 she started to change, her parents were not attentive to her and failed to intervene because her mother was busy with the other children and her father was working a great deal. Her parents were too overwhelmed with the other children and working long hours Emilia had no supervision. This is when she began to use drug and is continues to be drug dependent. Right after the birth of her son Joey, Emilia became pregnant again and decided to have an abortion.

Roberto Salazar’s, main issues are undocumented status and health issues. Roberto is dealing with unbearable back pain and weakened eyesight. Because of his undocumented status Roberto is being exploited by his employer. There were several times when Roberto failed to receive payment for the work he completed. Because of his undocumented status, Roberto was afraid to speak up. Most recently Roberto fell off of a roof on a job he was working on, because he was working in the country illegally he didn’t receive workers compensation.
Joey Sanchez is the son of Emilia Sanchez. His problems and concerns are tied in with the rest of the family’s problems, primarily Celia and Hector Sanchez. His grandparents are in the process of gaining custody of Joey. I am concerned with Celia’s lack of English proficiency and Hector’s health issues as well as his refusal to receive government assistance, will Joey receive all of the benefits he is eligible for or will they allow him to fall through the cracks as well.
