Jenna Mae Palacios, in an interview yesterday, said although her family is now beginning to mistrust law enforcers, her son, Robert, is scheduled to meet with AGO investigators today.
Palacios said her son was violently pinned against the wall before he was moved to an isolation room where a Corrections officers slapped him.
She said her son was hospitalized because his ear problems got worse.
She said they want justice but since the perpetrators are law enforces they were reluctant to bring the matter to law enforcers.
But two AGO investigators have already visited them, Palacios said.
The investigators, she said, told her they want to help and will investigate the matter.
Palacios said she is not sure if they can still trust police officers.
“Maybe we trust the media more than the cops,” she said.
Her son was jailed on June 1 to serve a one-month sentence for assault and battery.
On June 17, one of his co-inmates threatened to hurt him so he requested the jail officers to move him somewhere else.
In a telephone interview on Sunday, Palacios said the jail guards ignored her son’s plea. Her son made an obscene gesture which irritated the jail guards who pinned him against the wall, Palacios said.
