Ese, mismo TSJ, que tan alto, valora a Cabello, en Sala Político Administrativa, SPA, el 16 de diciembre de 2009, sentencia 01818, ordenó a la “C.A. Energía Eléctrica de la Costa Oriental” resarcirles el daño moral a unos inconsolables padres por la pérdida de su hijo. Un niño, venezolano, de ocho años, que murió electrocutado a causa de la, holgazanería, negligencia, zanganería, la corrupción -sobre todo corrupción- de la referida empresa del Estado, porque esta última, según se lee en la propia sentencia, había sido requerida, varias veces, por numerosos vecinos, antes de la tragedia, para que adoptase las medidas urgentes que hubiesen impedido el terrible infortunio. Ante la brutal depreciación del bolívar, convertiremos, en lo adelante en el presente artículo, a dólares americanos, las insignificantes indemnizaciones por daño moral otorgadas por el TSJ a los venezolanos de a pie, a lo largo de estos últimos años.
