GUILTY CA - Gabriel Fernandez, 8, tortured to death, Palmdale, 22 May 2013

New Posts

It just breaks my heart that this little boy confided in his teacher and she called and personally reported the horrendous abuse to CPS. And NOTHING changed. :furious:
 
Sent another request to a different mod to add Gabriel's name and 'murdered' to the title of the thread. Thanks for the picture.

Thanks fhc and you're welcome for the pic. Unfortunately, I don't know how to make the actual picture post to the thread so I was only able to put a link.
 


It took me awhile to figure out how to post it LDRN, but here he is, RIP Gabriel...

The boy had written a note saying he was thinking about suicide and his teacher told authorities he often appeared bruised and battered.

Gabriel died at a hospital on May 24 after paramedics went to his house in Palmdale and found that he had a fractured skull, three broken ribs, BB pellets embedded in his lung and groin, and two teeth knocked out.

There were six investigations into abuse allegations involving the mother, with five determining the claims were unfounded. Records show there was an unresolved case of alleged abuse at the time of Gabriel's death, and an allegation had lingered two months past a legally mandated deadline for finishing an investigation.
"The red flags were all over the place. They were ignored. It is just inexplicable to me," said county Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky.
The county's Department of Children and Family Services has been trying to institute reforms after dozens of abuse and neglect deaths in recent years involving children who had been under the agency's supervision.
A recent internal review of the department found there haven't been any workers fired in 15 cases where children died. It also has a backlog of child abuse cases.

Another example of an egg donor's need of having a boyfriend superseding the safety and needs of her children.

I think this goes deeper than her need for a boyfriend. I think she is inherently evil. She watched this man abuse her child and from MSM it appears that it happened more than once. So she aided and abetted and I am very happy to read that she is also being charged with murder and aggravating circumstances. She allowed her child to be tortured (oh how it hurts my heart to even have to write this!) before her very eyes. She helped this man abuse her child. She helped him. She is mean and evil. Pure speculation but she probably abused the boy before she met the boyfriend.

:stormingmad:

This kind of stuff makes me so angry. Ugh!

You are right, she did abuse him, from the Daily Mail link posted above

Gabriel's teacher told authorities in January there were bruised dots all over the boy's face. Gabriel told the teacher his mother shot him in the face with a BB gun, records show.
The boy often recanted his stories, and an internal county review criticized social workers for failing to interview Gabriel in a neutral setting away from his mother, who told social workers in March she didn't need their help.
The boy's therapist told workers earlier this year that Gabriel once reported being sexually abused by an older relative, but he later withdrew the allegation. The investigation remains open.
In addition to one count of murder each, the charges against Fernandez and Aguirre include a special-circumstance allegation of torture.
Gabriel’s grandfather told NBC Los Angeles in Spanish that he believes it was his daughter, Fernandez, who is responsible for her son's death.
He said that the child had lived with the grandparents until five months ago, but the 29-year-old mother was allowed to regain custody of him.

oh my.....that picture of little Gabriel in the ninja turtle costume brings tears to my eyes. Such a darling little boy with his whole life ahead of him. I fear he never had a childhood, never felt safe.

Just a warning, the info in the below article is graphic. These monsters should never walk among us again! I can't even fathom how anyone could do the things to a child that were done to Gabriel.

His mother and her boyfriend have been charged with murder and torture. But records reported by The Times on Friday show Gabriel's mother told paramedics that the boy's injuries were a result of self-mutilation.

there is no possible way, IMHO, that a little boy could inflict the injuries that were found on himself. :stormingmad: These horrible things were done to him, and then they try to blame the child??? Beyond words.
 
Yes, in his poor little lungs too :(
From one of the links I read that she just got him back about 5 months ago :sigh:
 
Poor baby. I think more needs to be done about child abuse in this country. Too many cases where abuse was ignored and the child died. So awful :( RIP Gabriel.
 
I want the workers charged!
