Marta Laureano
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marta Laureano, of Mexican descent, was born on the 16th of August 1995 in Amarillo, Texas. After a court case over "child abuse", the circuit judge, Samuel Kiser, ruled that Laureano was required by law to speak English with her daughter.
Marta Laureano wanted to speak her native language, Spanish with her child, so that she would grow up bilingual. The divorced English-speaking father took legal action against Laureano and won the case. As the reasoning for the judgement, it was stated that the child had to be protected from a life as a service girl.
