    Gabriel Daniel Fernandez was born on February 20, 2005 to Arnold Contreras and Pearl Fernandez. Shortly after birth, Gabriel was put in the custody of his great-uncle on his mother’s side, Michael Lemos Carranza, and his partner David Martinez. They continued to raise Fernandez for four years. In 2009, four-year-old Gabriel moved in with his grandparents, due to his grandfather's objection to Carranza’s and Martinez’s same-sex relationship. He lived with his grandparents until 2012, when his mother, Pearl Fernandez, and her boyfriend, Isauro Aguirre, regained physical custody of him despite concerns for his welfare expressed by the family.
    Throughout his eight-month stay in the household of Pearl Fernandez and Isauro Aguirre, Gabriel Fernandez was systematically abused and tortured. The abuse included regular physical beatings causing broken bones, being forced to eat cat litter and feces, his own vomit, and spoiled or expired foods, being burned with cigarettes, being shot with a BB gun in various areas of the body, including the face and groin, being pepper-sprayed, being forced to wear women’s clothing, having to sleep bound and gagged in a small cupboard, and having his teeth knocked out with a bat. According to Fernandez's siblings, while Fernandez was being abused, his mother and stepfather would laugh. According to prosecutors, Aguirre was allegedly motivated to abuse Fernandez because he believed he was gay.The abuse and torture extended to Fernandez's siblings, except it was directed more towards Gabriel.
    On May 22, 2013, Pearl Fernandez called 9-1-1 to report that her child, Gabriel Fernandez, was not breathing. Fernandez had been fatally beaten by his mother and Aguirre after failing to clean up his toys. When first responders arrived, they found him on the ground naked with several injuries. Aguirre explained to them that Fernandez was "gay", despite the information being irrelevant. Paramedics rushed him to the hospital where doctors declared him brain dead. He passed away two days later on May 24, 2013 at the Children's Hospital Los Angeles. He died at the age of eight years old, and the official autopsy declared he died of blunt force trauma coincided with neglect and malnutrition.
    In the aftermath of Gabriel Fernandez’s death, both Pearl Fernandez and Isauro Aguirre were arrested and charged with the boy’s murder. Pearl pled guilty to first-degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison. Aguirre was also found guilty of first-degree murder and was sentenced to death. (Currently, however, California has suspended all capital punishment, so Aguirre remains in prison for the foreseeable future.)

I was dedicated to the kiddos on my caseload and if i was notified something bad was up with one of my cases, i dropped everything and made sure the kids were safe. There is no reason for kids like this to fall through the cracks and lose their lives. I have dedicated my career to being a voice for those who need one. RIP sweet Gabriel 👼🏽

This poor baby boy did NOT deserve this, and I cannot imagine what was going through his mind during the last 8 months of his little life. To keep on saying that he loved his mother and he just wanted her to love him and be proud of him....really broke my heart. No child should ever have to question if their parent loves them. May this sweet little angel rest in peace...and may his short life be the inspiration people need to speak up over and over; to see something SAY something.

    anyone who harms anyone in this manner shouldn't be able to live their lives out fully without being tortured themselves on a daily basis far as the death penalty goes that in itself isn't justice because they get to escape this life early they should have to be placed in a cell surrounded by the pictures of their victim because that is the most despicable crime that can happen to anyone especially a harmless child it's plain sick

    I really cannot put my mind around how any adult could do this to a child, but it is a whole different level with it being his mother. I appreciate you sharing this story. I can't imagine how difficult it must have been for you. I agree that these monsters that took this baby boy's life should have the exact same thing done to them for 8 months. Thank you for wearing your heart on your sleeve for this story. I will continue to follow your page. Much love and respect!

    As a survivor of child abuse myself I never wanted to hear or see the story of Gabriel.. now that I chose to click on your short documentary about Gabriel it has opened up old wounds for me .. they say that if you still cry about it then you are truly not over it.. how can anyone get over it. Unfortunately Gabriel didn't survive.. and often I ask myself "Why me"... It's not fair he didn't have a chance his life was taken from him. I hope that EVERYONE who failed Gabriel gets payback in one way or another. Seeing his little smile just breaks my heart..

    Thank you for bringing Gabrielle’s story to light once again.. I’m Social Worker here in Maine. I see cases of neglect and abuse everyday.. Social Services is a flawed system across the nation, not enough Workers and far more cases . Sadly even the judges are making decisions based on the parents rights and not the safety of the children. I do everything in my power to assure that children are safe and cared for. My heart aches, this child’s cries for help fell on deaf ears.. the adults in his life failed him..Bless you little Angel❤️

    When I watched trial’s, stories I missed, the chatter told me to look up. Gabriel was one of those stories! It just so happened to be around the time the Netflix documentary came out, which I watched. I can’t remember a time when I was so filled with anger, outrage and didn’t know what to do with all those feelings! I wished I could do to that idiot female (she was NEVER a mother to Gabriel) and the loser male she referred to as her “boyfriend”. Perhaps it is happening every day where they are! Gabriel would be a happy, loving, well rounded gentleman had he stayed with his uncles! Gabriel is out of pain now and somewhere we pray to see someday. But what he had to endear to get there, just doesn’t seem right or fair! The Netflix documentary is really good and recommend it to everyone, after watching Scott’s video of course! I recommend highly to have somewhere to put your anger and sadness ahead of time! Stay safe, stay healthy, and enjoy life while you can!

    IDK if I can watch this one. I remember this story from when it happened. 💔
    I may be teeny but if you harm children, animals, the elderly, those with disabilities, anyone or any living thing that cannot defend themselves...I'll square up! There is ALWAYS some way you can help. Even if the only thing you can safely do is calling the authorities, do it. You might be the ONLY one in that person's or animal's corner. You may be the life, in that life or death situation.
    Sorry we failed you Gabriel.
