23 with her documents so that she could return to the Dominican Republic. She has been very frightened that something could happen to her family because they are involved in this case. Lastly, the witness indicated that there is nothing that could compensate them for all that has happened, but at least she hopes that they are compensated for all the time spent and expenses incurred because of this case, and that Violeta is granted a scholarship so she can continue studying at university. 3) Teresa Tucent Mena, sister of the child Violeta Bosico She was born on July 7, 1974. She is the daughter of Tiramen Bosico Cofi, and the sister of Violeta Bosico, who lives with the witness in Batey Palavé. She clarified that her correct last name is Tucent Mena, and not Tuseimena. The witness believes that, to resolve this case and to solve the registration problems, it would be fair if undocumented mothers could declare or register their children just by going in person and providing documentary evidence that their child had been born in the Dominican Republic. She hopes that her sister Violeta will be able to go to university, because they are very poor and it would be good if she had a scholarship to continue studying. She is sometimes afraid when something related to this case is published in the national media, because she knows there are people who say that the witness and her family are denouncing the Dominican Republic and causing problems because of this case. This is why she is afraid that something bad could happen. 4) Dilcia Yean, alleged victim Her mother is Leonidas Oliven Yean. She is 8 years old. She lives in her aunt’s house in Santo Domingo. She is currently in first grade at school, but she will enter second grade when this school year is over, because she is doing well. When she grows up she wants to work in an office near her family and be a lawyer to help others. 5) Leonidas Oliven Yean, mother of the child Dilcia Yean She was born on August 24, 1972, in Batey Enriquillo, Sabana Grande de Boyá, the Dominican Republic. Since 2001, she has lived in Santo Domingo in the home of her brother, Rufino. She registered her daughter, Magdalena, in October 2004. To do this, she was asked for her identity card, witnesses, a document from the church and a document from the mayor. To solve the problems relating to the birth registration of children, the State should register children in the schools.
