the car or in the same room with him even if he's calmed down, whatever is needed. every time there is an incident. >> ms. lopez, you may have misunderstood my question. i only asked you if when you wrote in on january 2 you were saying you agreed with everything. >> i was agreed if that happened, i agree, i have to call the police. that was that i wrote i am agree with everything, of course, if this happen, i have to call the police. that means i am agreed with everything. >> ok. now, you -- in this email that you wrote back to ivory madison on january 2, did you tell her to stop contacting people to look for help for you?

objections to these facts from madison and mertens. i'm inclined to sustain the objection. is there any opposing view from the commissioners? sustained. >> now, there's another email that you sent to ivory madison while you were on your trip on january 3, it's exhibit 51. i have a copy for you. >> it's not this one. >> it's not that one. >> ok, i'm sorry. thank you. >> now, ms. lopez, is exhibit 51 an email that you sent to

breakfast, snack, lunch, a snack, and dinner, as theo, and for him in the beginning was very hard. like i told him, if you are just going to take coffee, anyway you have to sit down, not with a computer, and sit down in the chair and have breakfast with us. and if you are home, even if you don't want to eat, please sit down and have lunch with us as a family. that is family. i know he grew up without that kind of -- but that is not my case and i want to teach theo that case so if we are traveling, i'm not in my kitchen so i cannot run to the kitchen and pick the things that i want so i told him, ok, we are going to monterey, but you know that how i am and theo so we are going to stop every two hours

and we have to eat. and he did and actually he enjoy it. >> and that made you happy, as well? >> absolutely. >> it was unusual enough for you to mention to ms. madison. >> after the campaign, that he was just working like 30 hours per day, i think it was great. >> it says without complaint at the end, i assume you meant without complaint. >> because he always want to do something else instead to eat. >> so he would sometimes complain when you insisted on eating? >> yes, he prefer to keep walking or playing instead to go to eat. >> in fact you told ivory madison that your husband regularly insisted that he control the food you and theo ate in your household. >> objection, relevance.

>> of course, that was -- is why she was calling me. her plan was to convince me to call the police and she brought all these new plans about the police. >> i move to strike as nonresponsive and speculative. >> repeat your question. chairperson hur: can i have the question back, please?

a comic book but not for real life." do you see that? >> yes. >> on january 4, did you actually reference a comic book? >> yes, and also i said a movie. i said, comic book and i said this is not a movie, because she was offering, you can move here, i have friends that they have rich friends, they have empty house and they will love to let you live there, and you remember clearly saying, ok, that's good for a comic book or for a movie but i'm not going to put myself or theo in that situation. >> now, you were at ms. madison's home for about an hour on the morning of january 4. >> uh-huh, yes. >> and during the time that you were at ms. madison's home on

this persons at her home and i was asking all that questions and she she was repeating you have to accuse him of domestic violence. >> ms. lopez, i'm going to have to stop you now. >> is why i called her. >> i know it's traditional to wait until the witness finishes answering to move to strike but i don't want to take all night to do this. chairperson hur: let's hold on one second. can i have the question back, please?

domestic violence, so that is the right way, so, to get custody. she was giving me legal advice how to get custody of theo. so the only person i know is domestic violence advocate is linnette, so i told ivory -- i actually was trying to leave ivory's home for maybe half an hour but she was -- we have to do it, we have do it, we have to do it. the only way i could escape from her house was say, ok, i have to call my dad, really. i have an appointment, i have to call him and when i came back home, i call linnit and i said, what do you think about this? first, i call her first, she didn't answer. so i text her, this is the situation, this happened, i have a person telling me this, i want

your opinion about this. >> had you ever spoken to linnette peralta haynes before this date about the details of your marriage with your husband? >> no, never. >> and then you had a call with linnette peralta haynes a little later that morning around 11:18, do you recall that? >> yes. >> and what did you talk about in that call with ms. peralta haynes? >> i told her i was talking with my lawyer and her plan was accuse ross of domestic violence, and i want to hear from her if she considered this domestic violence, and my principal concern was about if we end in a divorce, i will gain custody. it's not that i will gain custody, it's just that i don't want to allows theo.

i don't want someone kicking me out of the country and take my son. as thousands of latin americans have gone through in these years and that was my principal concern and i call and i talk with her about that. also i remember she said we have a case now of an immigrant that she doesn't have any papers and they are in a dispute and she brought all this information, i was asking for information. >> from linnette peralta haynes? >> yes. >> and did you tell linnette peralta haynes about -- or did you discuss calling the police with her? >> no. i told her that my lawyer want to do that and she wants to

accuse ross of domestic violence, and i want to hear her opinion about that. >> what was. >> and she considered that domestic violence. >> what was ms. peralta haynes' opinion of that advice that you should call the police? >> i think she said everything was confidential. >> linnette peralta haynes told you everything that you said to your lawyer was confidential? >> yes. >> >> ok. >> she told me i am an advocate of domestic violence and everything we are going to talk is confidential. and then i said, well, i just want your opinion about this situation. >> what else did lynnette peralta haynes talk about with regard to calling the police in that telephone call?

>> i think i was very clear with lynnette that i -- well, you know, actually, if i recall , we didn't talk about the police. i mentioned that my lawyer was thinking about that. and i didn't expect she act by herself. >> i'm sorry, i didn't -- >> i didn't expect that my lawyer would -- could act by herself and call the police by herself. >> on her own? >> yes. i thought that was my decision if i really want to make this a big deal, that was not my intention, i think. >> is that something you told mishaynes in the phone call you had with her? >> no. i amex plaining about her, i was not talking about call the police because i was asking her if this says domestic violence
