Cruel and aggressive. That's how Monica de la Cruz was accused of treating her stepdaughter when a judge granted a restraining order against her. Cruel and aggressive. It's no wonder De la Cruz protected alleged pedophiles in Congress. She even worked alongside the wife of a political operative even after he was accused of sexually abusing young girls. Cruel and aggressive. Monica de la Cruz, too dangerous for Texas. HMP is responsible for the content of his act.
