Give me that baby, give me that baby,&#8217;\u201d Gross said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey took my baby, I\u2019m going to take your baby,\u201d the homeless woman allegedly added, KTLA reports.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Gross explained the homeless woman proceeded to take her mother\u2019s coffee and hurl it into Gilda\u2019s face. The grandmother carried Gilda to a nearby parking lot, where they were helped by good Samaritans.<\/p>\n<p>CBSLA <a href=\"https:\/\/losangeles.cbslocal.com\/2022\/01\/19\/grandmother-carrying-infant-allegedly-assaulted-by-unhoused-woman-in-venice\/\">reports<\/a> that the coffee \u201cwas not very hot,\u201d and Gilda is okay.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Los Angeles Police Department arrested the woman, and she\u2019ll face assault charges, Gross said,\u201d according to KTLA.<\/p>\n<p>This past summer, homeless encampments were <a href=\"https:\/\/abc7.com\/venice-homeless-encampments-homelessness-los-angeles-tents-returning\/11431426\/\">removed<\/a> from the Venice Boardwalk, but homeless individuals have already set up tents in the area again, according to KABC.<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s almost beyond frustration. It\u2019s comical,\u201d resident Dave Turner told the outlet. \u201cThe mismanagement of it has not served anyone well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Turner added that city officials have not done enough to address the problems.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>The outlet reports:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Los Angeles City Councilman Mike Bonin, who represents Venice, has faced backlash over his handling of the homeless crisis. Critics accuse the councilman of inaction that they say has led to a growing homeless population in their neighborhoods.<\/p>\n<p>In August, as part of a program spearheaded by Bonin\u2019s office, more than 200 unhoused people living in a large encampment on the boardwalk were moved into housing.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThey cleaned up the immediate boardwalk right here so people can claim victory but there\u2019s people out in the sand, there\u2019s people three blocks away and now it\u2019s repopulating everywhere,\u201d Turner told KABC.<\/p>\n<p>Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti\u2019s (D) office partnered with Bonin to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westsidecurrent.com\/news\/venice-decompression-center-plans-on-hold-after-cease-and-desist\/article_aa607e82-78d3-11ec-bbb6-e735a75125a1.html\">replace<\/a> the Senior Center in Westminster dog park with a \u201cdecompression center,\u201d according to&nbsp;the&nbsp;<em>West Side Current.<\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B4\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s for folks who are decompressing from either mental breakdowns or heavy drug and alcohol use, which is great. That\u2019s necessary, but the problem is that\u2019s next to a school,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/losangeles.cbslocal.com\/2022\/01\/18\/battle-over-homelessness-heating-up-yet-again-in-venice\/\">said<\/a> Venice Oceanfront Walk Committee Vice Chair&nbsp;Brian Averill, according to CBS LA.<\/p>\n<p>The plans have been halted after a law firm representing Venice Kids Count sent a cease and desist to Garcetti\u2019s office, the <em>West Side Current<\/em> reports. Residents are up in arms about the mayor\u2019s plans and say they were left in the dark.<\/p>\n<p>KTLA reports:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Ryan Nichols, a resident and member of Venice Kids Count, said a planned site for a homeless shelter and mental-health services \u201cis a much-needed thing,\u201d though its placement in a park is an issue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe problem is, it\u2019s right across the street from an elementary school,\u201d Nichols said.<\/p>\n<p>Nichols said he and other residents learned of the planned site through back channels, despite an agreement with the city that they\u2019d be given 60 days\u2019 written notice on any proposed changes to the building and park in question.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Heidi Roberts, a Venice resident \u201cwho as a part of that lawsuit with Venice Kids Count, said this plan is even more unacceptable,\u201d according to CBSLA.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019ve broken every single promise they made to the community about safety and security. So, it\u2019s hard for us to trust anything that they bring into our community, especially when our kids lives are stake,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to Wednesday\u2019s incident, Gross spoke with CBSLA about her worry that the homeless population will increase in the park again if the plan for a decompression center comes to fruition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026some of them starting fires, a lot of screaming profanities, high and just screaming nonsense right in our backyard. It was terrifying,\u201d Gross said. \u201cI feel like this is bringing back what we found so hard to make a safe space for everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A homeless woman threatened to steal an infant girl from her grandmother in Venice, California, Wednesday morning before hurling coffee in the baby\u2019s face, according to the family.
