Alexander was deeply loved from the moment we knew he was coming. I am an American, and my partner is Venezuelan. Discovering that we had a baby on the way was the greatest joy of our lives. Throughout the pregnancy, we took his health seriously and followed medical guidance. My partner maintained a healthy pregnancy, exercised daily, avoided sugar, and took recommended vitamins. We attended prenatal appointments and relied on professional advice, trusting that our son’s wellbeing was being properly monitored by the medical team responsible for his care.
The negligence of Jesus Castellano end my son's life
Ultrasound- July 17, 2024 (39 weeks) performed 13 days berfore birth
Ultrasound- June 2024 (36-37 weeks)
Throughout the pregnancy, prenatal monitoring was ongoing and consistent. Ultrasounds were performed in the final weeks before birth, including a late-term scan at 39 weeks gestation, just 13 days before Alexander was born. In addition to these documented ultrasounds, the baby was visually checked with ultrasound at every appointment, and we were in constant communication with Jesus.
During the final days of the pregnancy, my partner was in severe, escalating pain and repeatedly communicated this. We were seen every day. Despite clear signs that the pregnancy was no longer progressing normally, the birth was delayed and allowed to continue for too long. By the time Alexander was born, he was in severe distress, with a green, meconium-stained umbilical cord indicating prolonged fetal stress before birth. The birth came too late to prevent catastrophic injury.
He Saw the Green Cord, Told Us Everything Would Be Fine, Took a Photo for His Instagram, and Left Our Son to Die
In the days leading up to the birth, we were seen every day. Each day, we were told that everything would be fine, even as my partner endured worsening, unrelenting pain for nearly five days. Her labor did not progress normally, and the pain became increasingly severe. On one of those days, the doctor did not come himself and sent his father in his place. During this period, responses were slow, reassurance continued, and we seriously considered switching to a different doctor.
The plan had been for me to be present and watch the birth. We had expected to wait another day, but my partner was in unbearable, escalating pain and could no longer continue so an emergency c section was conducted at 9:30pm on Tuesday July 30th, 2024. When signs of meconium were observed, the situation changed suddenly. Alexander was taken immediately, and I was not allowed to be present for his birth.
Shortly afterward, the doctor took a smiling photo with us for his Instagram, told us everything was fine despite the meconium and went home. He did not answer his phone again that night. During those hours, Alexander was fighting for his life in the neonatal intensive care unit and nearly died that same night.
Instead of holding our newborn son, we spent the entire night awake, calling and searching for a qualified specialist ourselves, trying desperately to get help while Alexander lay in the ICU. The doctor responsible for the pregnancy was unreachable.
We did not hear from him again until the following day, around noon. Despite the severity of our son’s condition, he only saw Alexander briefly that day for less than 5 minutes, reassured us again, and left. Although his office was one floor below the ICU at Policlínica, he never returned during Alexander’s nine-day fight for life. Alexander died nine days after $20,000 of ICU bills and a lifetime of agony and suffering for my partner and I.
After our son was admitted to the ICU, Dr. Jesús Castellano acknowledged in writing that Alexander was already suffering. This admission directly contradicts what we had been told before and immediately after the birth, when we were repeatedly reassured that everything was fine.
Despite this acknowledgment, responsibility was later shifted entirely onto us. I was blamed for allegedly refusing scans, which was false. I never refused medically necessary care and consistently deferred to the doctor’s judgment, telling him to perform whatever scans or interventions he believed were required. Responsibility was also placed on my partner. She was accused of failing to properly notice or communicate the baby’s movements, despite the fact that we reported fetal movements consistently and repeatedly until the very end.
In the days following Alexander’s death, communication escalated into hostile and abusive messages, alongside continued pressure for payment. These included derogatory remarks about me being a dumb yankee, an animal, etc.
Shortly afterward, we encountered Dr. Castellano again at the airport while traveling to another destination to resolve visa issues. On that same day, payment was again requested. When it became clear that we were not going to pay, the situation escalated.
I was then approached by two individuals presenting themselves as police officers. I was told that, as an american, I could face serious problems in Venezuela and that I could be jailed. The warnings referenced my American nationality and the broader situation in the country at the time. The encounter was deeply intimidating and occurred in the context of ongoing payment pressure.Jesus did not try to resolve this payment dispute in a court of law which he would have lost, but he instead bribed two officers into trying to intimidate me and my partner who were only weeks away from having lost our beautiful baby boy.
This pressure continued until we were able to leave Venezuela. Only after we had fled the country did the demands stop. The last message I received from him was him after refusing to pay a "poor yankee coward", telling me I should stay on drugs, and to "be a man for once in my miserable life". He again shifted blame on me and told me I was too dumb to understand that I was responsible for the death of my son. What we experienced after losing our son was a pattern of denial, blame-shifting, hostile communication, and intimidation
No apology was ever offered. No acknowledgment of error or responsibility was ever made. The messages shown here are presented exactly as they were sent, in his own words.
Context for the messages below:
These messages were sent after our son’s death. They do not reflect contemporaneous medical guidance, but rather an attempt to shift blame onto us after the outcome was known. At no point did we choose to delay care against medical advice. We repeatedly asked whether continuing the pregnancy was safe and were told that it was.
The 2nd screen shot is after we left Venezuela and he realized he wasn't going to get paid for murdering my son
Alexander's Legacy
We are sharing Alexander’s story because silence protects the wrong people.
We trusted a doctor. We followed medical guidance. We communicated constantly. Despite that, our son suffered and died under that care. What followed was not accountability or compassion, but denial, blame-shifting, hostility, and pressure.
This is not about revenge. It is about justice. It is about truth. It is about warning other families so that no parent has to experience what we lived through. No family should be told that everything is fine while their child is already suffering. No grieving parents should be blamed, insulted, or intimidated after losing a child.
Alexander lost his voice. We did not.
It has taken nearly a year and a half to put all of this together. Losing my baby boy broke something inside me, and for a long time the pain made it impossible to speak. Every day I feel Alexander’s presence with me. And I knew that staying silent was a disservice to him. I wanted to share his story sooner, but the grief was overwhelming. Still, as time passed, I realized that waiting any longer would mean allowing other children to remain at risk. Silence only protects those who caused harm.
If telling Alexander’s story prevents even one family from going through what we endured, then his life will continue to matter far beyond his short time with us.
