Former Teacher's Aide, Lisa Zuniga Duran, Fights For Custody Of Child Conceived While Molesting 13-Year-Old

lisa_zuniga_duran.jpgLisa Zuniga Duran, a former teacher's aide who was impregnated by a 13-year-old boy she raped while at a church school, fought for custody of her three-year-old daughter. Duran was given the lenient sentence of 30 days in jail, 10 years probation and a $500 fine for her molesting of the 13-year-old back in April of 2003. I'm sure those 30 days in jail really set her straight and will ensure that she doesn't molest other little boys for the rest of her life.

Here's the back story on the fight for custody and the results of the fight below. The fact she's in court and not rotting in prison is just a testament to the lack of penalties being handed down by our criminal justice system ... even in Texas.

Click2Houston


Zuniga was pregnant Jan. 24, 2003, when she pleaded guilty to aggravated sexual assault of a child. Her daughter was born on Feb. 7, 2003.

The boy's family allowed Duran to initially raise the girl as long as they were granted visitation rights and Duran was supervised.

The now-17-year-old student and his parents want custody of the child, and said Duran, a registered sex offender, should not raise the girl.

...

"When it comes to my criminal case, I plead guilty. But when it comes to me being a bad mother, I’m not guilty," Duran said in August 2005.

Duran also testified Tuesday. She broke down as she described her fears of being separated from her daughter.

She said she worried that the child would be exposed to physical and emotional abuse if she's sent to live with the boy and his parents.

There ya have it folks, an admitted pedophile and child molester tries to blame the victim and make them seem like horrible people. Now one thing of note is that the 17-year-old has already knocked up his girlfriend and plans to support the two kids with a "night job". If it weren't for the fact that his parents were going to help raise the child I'd be against this, but I simply can't side with this sicko.

Which way do you think the judge ruled? Well here's your answer:

Houston Chronicle


After two days of testimony, state District Judge Doug Warne ordered Lisa Zuniga Duran, 30, to continue caring for the child as the primary parent. The girl's father, Andrew Gallardo, 17, of Edmond, Okla., was granted visitation.

Gallardo and his mother, Tammy Ambriz, filed suit seeking custody of the child after Duran stipulated their visits with the child be supervised. Since Gallardo and his family had not seen the child in seven months, Duran said she and her daughter's therapist thought it best to have someone familiar to the girl be present.

...

The judge's order calls for Gallardo to see his daughter two weekends a month with someone familiar to the child present. Starting in September, the visitation period will be extended with visits unsupervised beginning in November. In June 2007, Gallardo will be able to have his daughter for a week.

...

Gallardo, who will turn 18 next month, was ordered to pay Duran $50 a month in child support. The judge ordered him to take a parenting class by September.

Wow! Have you stopped shaking your head yet? The victim is run through the ringer on this one. I have nothing against the parenting classes, but being ordered to pay child support for a child conceived when he was 13 by being raped ... WTF!

If anything Lisa Zuniga Duran should be paying him, since he is the victim of her crime. What happens to the boy if he doesn't pay the child support? Does he go to jail? That would just be the most asinine thing in the world.

This is just ridiculous. What do you think of this decision?

In regards to the Duran-Gallardo situation, how do you think the public and the Judge would have felt if the genders were reversed? What if it had been a 13 year old girl that had gotten pregnant after being molested by a older man? That man would be spending the rest of his life behind bars....this makes no sense. Its as if you are a woman, you can do whatever you want to young boys and not have to worry about any kind of punishment. 30 days in jail????????????? What a joke....

this is just too frustrating and fucked up, wtf is right. if i knew this bitch, i'd through a blanket party, then she couldn't raise the kid cause she'd be breathing though a tube, sick fucked up bitch and what a stupid fucking piece of shit dumbass judge....fuck!...

If you ask me,the boy and the family looks like the bad guys here.I think the judge did the right thing.And the boy had another baby!?Doesnt sound like one of those honest people.I agree the punishment was light,but the mother should be allowed to raise her own child.

Hey, she's hot! She can wank me anytime.

You are mixing up the two cases. The sick miscarriage (sorry for the mixed metaphor) of justice was for the first ruling. Zuniga should have spent years in the slammer getting slapped around by some reform school broads. Never allowed to see her child and have the child brought up by either the State or the Church orphanage where she used to work. That's my ruling. I'm sure this is a case of lawyers plea bargaining away adequate punishment....

But as for Gallardo.... (First of all why does his mother have a different name than he???) You are mixing up the first crime with an appeal filed by HIM. HE is filing a case with the State of Texas claiming custody. This is an absurd proposition because he is INDIGENT. You can verbally say "his mother will help raise the child" but in a Court of Law the name Gallardo is the appellant. That does not wash. The only other legal course is for his mother (what's her name again?) to legall adopt the child. The sad fact is that there is no other employed parent except Zuniga. With a psychologist monitoring this child it will work out for the best.

Maybe Gallardo would like to ... hello? Get a job! Before he starts saying he's the father and deserves custody.

Zuniga is a predator and a menace to children. Hopefully this will make people think twice about women like her who are "so good with children." Good looks and church mouse personality do not mean that she knows anything about healthy relationships. Gallardo is scarred for life. But as a legal appellant he is a joke too. Poor kid. Maybe he ought to focus on his gf his own age and their child.

This woman is a sick sick person. She has been exposed. She is involved in her youngest daughter's tball team and around other children at a local ball park, El Franco Lee in Houston Texas. She is putting on this image that she is a good person. Her time for judgement will come. Sad thing is women like her are forgiven to easily. She watches other friends children and that to me is wrong. What is the system doing?? Showing all these sickkos it's okay to molest a 13 yr old, mislead them and corrupt there lives forever. Boy or girl, she raped the kid and ruined his life. Atleast he had the heart to want the kid in his life after dealing with that MONSTER. We are all watching you Lisa Zuniga Duran. Watch your back sickko. Kids end up in suitcases killed, rapped and left for dead by people like her. "Emotionally unstable" bu**sh**!! Put her away. God will be the one to seek justice on monsters like her. [address removed] is where she lives dear God. Public Record on Sex Offenders

She was let free?? OMG. This lady has to be put away. My niece dance at a local dance studio where her daughters went and went by the last name Duran. Sad the little 7 yr old didn't even get the real dad's last name Gallardo. Weeeirdoo. Ewwewwweww. I actually remember her being at my nieces dance recital and in the dressing rooms with the little girls. Is that legal?? PI who had a kid at the dance studio told my sis to be weary of her. That she is on probation and a child predator. Scary. She looks like any average fat bitch mom type. Sad thing is her kids are gonna grow up and google her fat ass and see the truth. Poor kids. They are still blessings. Poor kid that got tortured by this fat bitch. hopefully she was better looking then. EEEWWWW>

I heard through someone she works in Pasadena/Deerpark area at AXION off the beltway. My friend at school told me she lives down the street from her. We were bored and looked her up and sure enough she lives at the dead end. Funny thing is I think she is at a DEAD end in her life. She is fat and creepy. She looks like a mom but when u know her story she is Creepy. We never see the kids outside. She is a hermit i guess. My brother said he has seen her at local bars. Hmmmm, funny not at local daycares! lol!! Well i feel for the little girls having to deal with her past and just to think how simple it is to google her and see all the stories about her. My mom said she'd kick her ass to hell if she ever looked at us. That's a true mom. Not one that fucks a lil boy and uses him as a sperm donor. yuck :P What comes around goes around.

She will get her ass kicked when she least expects it. Believe me, I am in line for that one. Bitch. Let her show her face in public. I will go up to her and shout out what she has done and who she is. Pervert. Booohooo....WTF ever. I think I'll find her. Not wait for her. Just so she knows I am not bs'ing.

Word has it that she his HIV positive. What comes around goes around. The retard that fathered her second child, Jesus, told us she is way off....she is delusional, satanist, unpredictable and not trustworthy. Parents beware. Wolf in sheeps clothing. Sad trend with teachers and students these days. They need to lock them up and let them pay the price with abusing trust. Trust that children are left at school to learn and be safe from predators like her and the recent "outbreak" of pediphiles in Houston. Should have thrown her in jail to set a trend and an example to all child predators. Don't blame the kids for the actions, blame the desperate psychos that need an dildo onstead of someones son. Bitch.

Whore....Dirty filthy whore....She is a fake fake person with mental issues. Her kid Mia and Alanis are victims of torture just living with this woman. Supposably her "friends" she was in a "cult"...WTF? Sad sad reality of how people are eft to slide on through the system and go about their fake ass lives. Just like a true predator,waiting for her next victim. How can anyone trust her with children and teenagers? Where is the husband of the youngest? He is separated from her and should have full custody. Unbelievable. POS! How would she feel if and when her daughters are 13 and get knocked up by some old man? Hmmm, what comes around goes around. She will be judged one day by one and only true judge Himself.
