Joseph Skates & Rosalie Uribe Killed Manny Maciel

Sacramento, CA – On November 7, a California Highway Patrol officer pulled over a woman driving erratically near the town of Natomas.  The woman told the officer that she was on her way to a medical emergency, so the officer followed her to an apartment on Zurlo Way. As the car pulled in, someone ran out of the apartment holding three-year-old Manuel “Manny” Maciel. Manny had been beaten so badly that he was barely alive. Two days later, little Manny died of his injuries. Nobody had called 911 to save him.
Manny’s mother, Rosalie Renee Uribe, 23, had moved in with Joseph Skates, also 23, and her three sons. Rosalie’s little boys were aged five, four, and three. Manny was the baby.
Despite a history of fights and physical abuse, Rosalie decided that her boyfriend was the best caregiver for her sons and often left the boys at home with Skates, who didn’t like Rosalie’s children or Manny’s father, Javier Maciel.  Maciel’s family says that they let Rosalie, Javier and the children live with them until Rosalie left to move in with Joseph Skates, taking her boys with her. Until that time, the Maciel family had cared for the boys while Rosalie worked at Wal-Mart. After Rosalie moved, everything changed.
On the day Manny was beaten to death, his mother left him and his brothers with Skates while she was out. That’s when police say Joseph Skates beat little Manny so severely that he was almost unrecognizable. Someone – police won’t say who, but it’s probably Rosalie – called Manny’s grandmother to hurry to the home.
Skates didn’t call 911 to get help. Neither did Rosalie Uribe. It took a traffic stop to alert anyone of a problem. Had that CHP officer not stopped Grandma, it’s possible that Manny would have died at home, then disappeared – and because Manny’s father Javier was an illegal immigrant, nobody might have noticed that the child was gone outside the family.
For two days doctors tried to save little Manny, but his brain was too damaged and swollen, and he died on NovemberNovember reviews
9. Joseph Skates lit out for Oregon to get across state lines. Javier Maciel was placed on an immigration hold and deported. And Rosalie Uribe cried on her Myspace about her poor dead baby and how surprised she was that her man could hurt a child.
Except that police say she shouldn’t have been surprised at all. Investigators turned up evidence of prior abuse, and statements Rosalie had made regarding Skates’ treatment of her children. I guess that wasn’t enough to stop her leaving them with him.
Last week, Joseph Skates was caught in Medford, Oregon. He is being held there on suspicion of homicide and is awaiting extradition to California, where he will be charged with murder.
Rosalie Uribe was arrested on Tuesday and charged with three counts of child endangerment: one for her five year old son, one for her four year old son, and one for Manny. She is now out of jail after posting her $50,000 bond. Maybe she’ll swing by and tell us why her penis was more important than her children.
RIP Manuel “Manny” Maciel, d. 11/9/08
