The Los Angeles County district attorney's office will seek the death penalty against a mother and her boyfriend, who are accused of torturing her 8-year-old son to death, prosecutors announced Wednesday.
Gabriel Fernandez died in May 2013. His mother, Pearl Fernandez, 31, and her boyfriend, Isauro Aguirre, 35, were indicted by a grand jury on a charge of murder and a special circumstance of torture.
For The Record
1:24 p.m.: A previous version of this story incorrectly referred to Isauro Aguirre as Gabriel Fernandez's father. Aguirre is the boyfriend of Gabriel's mother, Pearl Fernandez.
-----------
Grand jury testimony revealed that Pearl Fernandez had called 911 after she and Aguirre allegedly beat Gabriel for not picking up his toys. After the beating, the boy went silent and stopped responding. When paramedics arrived, they found Gabriel naked in a bedroom, not breathing, with a cracked skull, three broken ribs and BB pellets embedded in his lung and groin. He died two days later.
"It was just like every inch of this child had been abused," testified James Cermak, a Los Angeles County Fire Department paramedic.
Fernandez and Aguirre have pleaded not guilty.
Gabriel?s death sparked a larger probe into the county Department of Children and Family Services, which found that there was a long history of reports of abuse in the Fernandez home.
In the months before the boy was killed, several agencies had investigated allegations of abuse without removing him from the home.

4 Social Workers Charged With Child Abuse After Boy?s Beating Death
http://sacramento.cbslocal.com/2016/...CBS_Sacramento
LOS ANGELES (AP) ? Prosecutors charged four Los Angeles County social workers with child abuse, saying they were so negligent in handling the case of an 8-year-old boy who died of gruesome, multiple injuries that just like his abusers they were criminally responsible.
The four, who include two supervisors, were also charged with falsifying public records.
An arrest warrant filed March 28 identifies them as Stefanie Rodriguez, 30, Patricia Clement, 65, Kevin Bom, 36, and Gregory Merritt, 60.
They were scheduled to be arraigned Thursday, and it wasn?t immediately known if they had obtained attorneys. Prosecutors were seeking bail of $155,000 apiece.
The four were charged in connection with the death of Gabriel Fernandez, who died May 24, 2013, of injuries that included a fractured skull, broken ribs and burns across his body.
The boy?s mother, Pearl Fernandez, and her boyfriend, Isauro Aguirre, have pleaded not guilty to murder and are in jail awaiting trial. Prosecutors have said they will seek the death penalty.
If convicted of child abuse and falsifying records, the social workers could face as much as 10 years in prison.
?Social workers play a vital role in society. We entrust them to protect our children from harm,? District Attorney Jackie Lacey said Thursday in announcing the charges. ?When their negligence is so great as to become criminal, young lives are put at risk.?
The Department of Children and Family Services had opened a case file on Gabriel on Oct. 31, 2012, more than six months before he died, and Lacey said it was the social workers? responsibility to protect him.
Prosecutors say Rodriguez and Clement falsified reports that should have documented signs that Gabriel was suffering from escalating physical abuse and that his family had stopped participating in efforts to keep the family together. They say Bom and Merritt, the supervisors, knew or should have known those reports were false.
?By minimizing the significance of the physical, mental and emotional injuries that Gabriel suffered, these social workers allowed a vulnerable boy to remain at home and continue to be abused,? Lacey said.

Last night was the first I heard of this little boy and I sat and cried. Then I got up and hugged the stuffing out of my 8 year old boy.

I just cannot fathom what this poor little boy went through. It is good the Social Workers who failed him are being held accountable.
I feel bad for the people who reported and reported, like the teacher with CPS on her speed dial, and nothing was done

Oof so..my friend worked with this woman in jail (she analyzed suicide watch people etc) and said the mom is a hardcore sociopath who actually liked prison because she was a hot little number the other inmates fought over. On the other hand, she is infuriated by the social workers being charged because 'they should have just been fired' which is something I totally disagree with her about. I do agree that charging them will do nothing to help a desperately underfunded and overburdened system but fuck these people, their negligence contributed to the death of a child.
I have worked with children like Gabriel for almost 25 years. We see what happens after the douchknuckle parents beat the shit out of kids, then take them to the ER because they "tripped", "fell", "rolled off the couch".
This beautiful little boy was only 8. He got born to a whorecuntfuckbitch mother who isn't worth the shit I just left in the toilet. Boyfriend too, especially. Hopefully the ass gaping he will receive in prison will cure him of his innate douchebaggery. Doubt it seriously, and that just calls for him to suffer...as should she.
You love your children unconditionally. That is your fucking job. You love them, guide them, help them, teach them. You for goddamn sure don't kill them, especially over something so insanely trivial. "Oh, li'l man was gay so I offed his ass." - This kind of shit makes me want to go full serial killer on people. Sorry, the world is better off without these two continuing to participate in the human race.
As for these fucking social workers: they have a hard job, that much is certain. The system is broken. People fall through the cracks. And while I don't necessarily agree with charging them, something had to be done. Fire them. Make sure they never, ever have the responsibility over a child's life ever again. But unless they can prove malice, I see no point in the jail time.
However, if this was indeed some fucked up, sinister plot to ruin the life of a beautiful young boy, then they deserve any and everything horrible that happens to them.
Gabriel, you are beautiful. I'm sorry you didn't have a mother who cared about you. I'm sorry you were put through hell at the hands of the person who should have loved you more than she loved herself. I'm sorry your mother let her piece of shit companion do what he did to you. You never deserved that. When people love you, they don't hurt you. I'm sorry your mother never taught you that lesson, and that she sat idly by while her lover ended your life.
When I look at your picture, I see a cute little boy who is probably missing some baby teeth, and eagerly awaiting those permanent ones to come in. I see a kid who is probably just as sweet as sugar to his friends and his teachers. I certainly don't see someone who should have been beaten to death. I see a beautiful child with his whole life ahead of him.
Does anything else really matter? No. Maybe he's gay? Who fucking cares! He's a child, and he can be as gay as he wants to be, that does not entitle anyone to hurt him, or to allow him to be hurt. Anyone who disagrees can gladly stand in front of me as I punch their nose through the back of their skull.
But it mattered to someone, and obviously his mother had no problem with the way her young son was treated, otherwise this story would have an entirely different ending.
Though you are no longer here, there are those who will never forget you.
Rest easy, beautiful boy.
Don't like what I have to say? I respect that. Go fuck yourself.
I heard an interview with a family member yesterday. They were saying that they took custody of him for a while but she asked for him back because she could get benefits and housing with him. He was just a cash cow for her. They had to give him to her because she hadn't signed over the parental rights. They say that she only had him for a short while and no one knew about the abuse.
Am I the only one curious about an 8 year old with a sexual identity? I mean... were they calling him "gay" as an insult here..? Or upset that he acted feminine? I mean, I can see recognizing traits... but I'm not comfortable calling a third grader gay.
They beat and killed a child because they're terrible people, not because of something he was or did or said. That's my feeling.
Trial started for mom's boyfriend: http://fox13now.com/2017/10/17/utah-...teens-suicide/
Lots of awful details in the article. That poor little boy.
Sorry, wrong link. Here's the right one: http://www.dailynews.com/2017/10/16/...beating-death/
I'm such an idiot lately. Derp.
I clicked on that first one and was so confused.
Some truly awful details about the abuse from that link, indeed...
It's just absolutely sickening what was done to this innocent child.
I hate the title of this thread and just was about to change it.
These people killed this child because they are crazy awful idiots, not because he was gay.
These people deserve death.

In Torture-Murder of Gabriel Fernandez, His Mother Gets Life in Prison; Her Boyfriend Sentenced to Death
https://ktla.com/2018/06/07/mother-b...-be-sentenced/
The mother of an 8-year-old Palmdale boy who died after being tortured was sentenced to life in prison on Thursday, while her boyfriend was sentenced to death, marking the end of a high-profile trial that drew attention to severe flaws in L.A. County's child welfare system.
During the sentencing in downtown L.A., the judge said the 2013 killing of Gabriel Fernandez was "worse than animalistic," because "even animals know how to take care of their young."
"In my almost 20 years on the bench in this court, this case is without a doubt the most aggravated and egregious case this court has ever witnessed," Los Angeles Superior Court Judge George Lomeli said.

The boy's mother, Pearl Fernandez, 34, in February had pleaded guilty to one count of first-degree murder and admitted the special circumstance allegation of intentional murder by torture. Her sentence comes without the possibility of parole.
Fernandez's boyfriend, Isauro Aguirre, was convicted of first-degree murder on Nov. 15 and a jury found true the allegation that the defendant tortured the victim.
Gabriel was taken to a hospital in May 2013 when he stopped breathing. He had a cracked skull and broken ribs, with B.B. pellets in his lung and groin. He was declared brain dead and died two days later.
The prosecutor in Aguirre's case, Deputy District Attorney Jon Hatami, argued that Aguirre systematically abused and tortured Gabriel for months because he thought the boy was gay.
Hatami argued that Aguirre and Fernandez worked to keep their treatment of Gabriel hidden by using makeup to cover up his bruises. They exchanged text messages where they discussed how they put him in ice water.
The prosecutor called Aguirre "evil."
In a news release, District Attorney Jackie Lacey said the case will stay in the mind of the public for a long time.
"This case showed how evil can not only inflict lasting damage to those who loved Gabriel but our society as well," Lacey said. "The horrific nature of Gabriel's abuse and murder has been seared into our minds and the defendants will now spend the rest of their lives in prison for their reprehensible actions."
After the sentencing, Hatami said he hopes the verdicts bring "some sense of justice" to Gabriel's family.
"I'm just doing my job, that's it," Hatami said, tearing up. The prosecutor has two young children and has said that the case hit close to home.
The case led to child welfare reforms in L.A. County, and four social workers who were assigned to Gabriel's case were accused of negligence in connection with the boy's death. They have been criminally charged.
In an impact statement delivered before the sentencing, Gabriel's family member told Fernandez that her actions changed her and her family's life forever.
"After five long, heartbreaking years, it’s finally over," the family member said. "Your sentence will be handed down as you hear your jail cell slam."
One of Gabriel's teachers said that she still lives with guilt after the boy's death and wishes she could have done more to prevent it.
"I go back and forth between sadness and guilt and anger, and no matter what, I can't bring him back," said Jennifer Garcia, who tried to help the boy when he was in her class at Summerwind Elementary School.
Garcia testified during the preliminary hearing that she repeatedly called county child service workers to report signs of abuse beginning a few weeks into the 2012-2013 school year, according to the Los Angeles Times.
But when Gabriel was still in his mother's custody months later, Garcia testified that she lost faith in the system and "started to feel nothing was happening."
She said Thursday that she understands the defendants are the ones to blame for Gabriel's death.
"I hope they face same abuse in their life time or worse. ... They are evil people," Garcia said, referring to Fernandez and Aguirre.
Pearl Fernandez spoke briefly before the sentencing. In a prepared statement she said she was sorry.
“Every day, I wish I made better choices," Fernandez said. "I wish I could have saved Gabriel."
Don't think I like seeing a death penalty verdict in this case - it means he'll have his own cell & extreme oversight, doesn't it? In other words, he'll be doing safer time than if he'd been placed in general pop.
Death row is 23 hr lock down in a cell alone everyday but if guys want to get him they will get him regardless. The girl probably won't be fucked with.....I don't know why but womens prison is different, they dont really fuck with female child molesters or female child murderers.
I'm currently watching the Netflix documentary on this case. Anyone else seen it?
I have purposely avoided it because I imagine it being so heartbreaking
