About Murder of Gabriel Fernandez in brief
Gabriel Fernandez, 8, was beaten to death on May 22, 2013 by his mother, Pearl Fernandez, and her boyfriend, Isauro Aguirre. Pearl Fernandez was sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole and Isauros Aguirr was sentenced for first-degree murder with special circumstances of torture. Fernandez’s siblings reported signs of abuse to social workers, but he was never removed from the household. The abuse included being forced to eat cat litter and feces, forced to eating his own vomit, regularly beaten which caused broken bones, burned in various parts of the body, shot in various areas of the. body including the face and groin with a BB gun, and forced to sleep bound and gagged in a small cupboard. Fernandez was declared brain dead and taken off life support at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles on May 24, 2013. He died at the age of eight years, and the official autopsy declared he died of blunt force trauma commingled with malnutrition and neglect. Four social workers were criminally charged in Los Angeles Superior Court for failing to remove Fernandez from his mother’s home. The social workers’ actions led to several concerns over the effectiveness and efficiency of social services in the Los Angeles County, and ultimately led to four social workers being criminally charged. The case has raised questions about the effectiveness of social workers in the county and whether they are doing enough to protect children from abuse and neglect in the homes of the elderly and children with developmental disabilities.
The family of Pearl Fernandez have expressed concern that the social workers are not doing enough for the children and that they should be doing more to protect the children in the home. They have also expressed concerns that Fernandez’s mother is neglectful towards her other children, including her two younger siblings. The mother of Gabriel Fernandez was born on February 20, 2005 to Arnold Contreras and Pearl Fernandez. As a teenager, Fernandez claimed that her uncle attempted to rape her, and that some men held her hostage for a period of days taking turns taking turns raping her, which led her to having suicidal thoughts while recovering at the hospital. When she was nine, Fernandez decided to run away from home and lived with her great-uncle on her mother’s side, Michael Lemos Carranza, and his partner David Martinez. In 2009, four-year-old Gabriel moved in with his grandparents, due to his grandfather’s objection to his. grandfather’s same-sex relationship. In 2012, Pearl was given child custody of Gabriel, reportedly to gain welfare benefits. She was given custody in spite of concerns from her family, who had been taking care of him, that she was neglectful. Fernandez then was moved in to the household of his mother and her. mother, Pearl Fernandez and Isauro Aguirre, for eight months. Throughout his eight month stay in the household, Fernandez was abused and tortured.
