DA Wants Re-Hearing for Social Workers
in Child Abuse Death of
Gabriel Fernandez
LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CA – Los Angeles County prosecutors are asking a state appellate court panel to reconsider its ruling that directed a lower court to dismiss charges against four social workers who were accused of failing to protect an 8-year-old Antelope Valley boy who was killed in May 2013.
Gabriel Fernandez, 8-years-old.
“An autopsy showed that the boy had a fractured skull, several broken ribs and burns over much of his body. His teacher testified that she called Rodriguez multiple times to report that Gabriel told her that his mother punched him and shot him in the face with a BB gun.”
Prosecutors petitioned the three-justice panel from California’s 2nd District Court of Appeal to either re-hear or modify its opinion in the case of social workers Stefanie Rodriguez, 34, and Patricia Clement, 69, and two supervisors, Kevin Bom, 40, and Gregory Merritt, 64. The four were charged in March 2016 with one felony count each of child abuse and falsifying public records in connection with Gabriel Fernandez’s death.
Isauro Aguirre — the boyfriend of the child’s mother — was sentenced to death in June 2018 after being convicted of first-degree murder. Jurors found true the special circumstance allegation of murder involving the infliction of torture.
Hello My Good Dear Friend, I dislike being the bearer of bad tiddings, but the post you shared was filtered.
However, there is a bright spot on the horizon, and that is the fact that I found the unfiltered post, and it is posted on January 31, 2020 under the same H1, but it will be worth the trouble.
I send all Good Things your way

A beautiful child taken to soon.
CPS should be held accountable for not doing their job..
Vermont has it’s own issues with DCF after they returned a child to an abusive home against better judgement. There have been deaths by abusive parents who were in the registry.

Mary Ann, you need to see the “SHAME ON U.S.” REPORT
Not one state has met all of the minimum child welfare standards even one (1) time since this system was put in place.
