A Desperate Journey Home: The Robbery that Shattered a Family

During a specific instance, he committed a robbery in Los Angeles and subsequently found himself in need of transportation back home in Pasadena, CA, where we were residing at the time. Resorting to hailing a cab, he forcefully seized control of the vehicle, confining the driver to the truck, and drove himself home. Upon reaching his destination, he released the driver from the trunk and departed on foot. This among other unfortunate events occurred and by this time my father had four children, all of whom were taken away and placed into foster care, leading to the painful separation of our family. During this trying period, I was around nine years old and ended up in a foster home, where I remained for about two years.
