From the many times Gabriel’s shadow is closed off to the darkness, until the light has finally opened meaning he is given the justice that he deserves... ... only for the last shot to show the cubby where it’s already “too late”.
To think he’d be a teenager right now. All of the opportunities he could’ve had were taken away by his abusive mother and her boyfriend. I just wish I could hold him in my arms and say “everything is gonna be alright.” This story is just too heartbreaking
I think about Gabriel almost everyday after watching the documentary. His story crushed my heart, I've never cried so hard for someone I never knew. I was abused too when I was a child, like repeatedly but that was never a reason to treat my own child with such hate and unimagineable cruelty. Instead, I protect him and gave him the attention and adoration that I never had when I was a kid. I love this video it's a perfectly fitting.
Kudos to their production theme, the intro represented such the message of a little boy being lost and not finding any guidance. So powerful, well done
@@nightmareboncreations3944 The images of seeing the shadow and the walls closing in is what gets me. I almost hate how good it is at showing how this boy's life was taken for no reason.
This is by the far the saddest documentary I've watched/read. I just wish I could have gave Gabriel the biggest loving hug. He just wanted to be loved by his mom so bad. My heart feels so heavy and numb after watching this and I cannot sleep..just so hard to imagine a mother doing this to their child..I have a 3 month old daughter and I just can't ever get why someone could possibly hurt and beat their children? I just want to protect and love mine. This intro always has me tearing up and sends chills down my spine. His tiny little shadow always getting trapped in by the darkness like how he was inside the cubby. Finally at the end the light came through when justice was served. He deserved so much better. If only the social workers were doing their damn jobs and cared about gabriel then he would have celebrated his 15th bday this year. So heartbreaking. RIH ♡♡♡
I finished the show and after I watch some clips about the news of his death on here, read the comments. And someone said "Justice would be if he was still alive. I want Vengeance " and honestly I never thought about it that way. But there is truth to it.
I am a foster youth still in the system I feel his pain every time I watch this.. the system failed all of us.. but we survive the shit ppl put us through which makes us stronger than people realize. Gabriel you opened the curtains for all to see.. thank you we will still fight on. ❤️
This opening is epic and speaks volumes..... it shows that despite how magnanimous the justice system is, a child who was the victim of the most heinous abuse imaginable got lost in its shadows ....
Oh this show had me in TEARS. That poor baby, only wanted his mother's love and she failed him. The entire system failed him. And it should've never happened that way....poor baby boy.
I’ve always been a bit on the sensitive side, but I’ve never come across any sort of media (movie/documentary/etc) that has had me in absolute tears within the first ten minutes before this. After finishing watching all of the episodes, just watching the intro makes my stomach drop, knowing that there are people that harbor such evil in this world. So terrifying.
You did a wonderful artistic approach to the topic, portraying the monolithic, indifferent and unresponsive essence of the system that, not only in Los Angeles, not only in the USA, fails so many children every other day
I’m still here in 2024 and tbh I don’t think I’ll ever stop feeling heartbroken for this kid. All that he went through could’ve been avoided. Despite being abused and murdered by his very own mother. He still found it in his heart to love her. Because all he wanted was to be loved. He deserved to be loved. It’s horrifyingly heartbreaking that Gabriel’s life was taken from him. 😭
It hurts me that there are parents in this world who hurt or rather enslave their children. Gabriel‘s case was just horrible, but unfortunately there are many other cases which are similar to his …
To everyone out there if you see anything suspicious, please help little innocents Children, pls to all parents love your childrens and protect them.. Because we arethe safest place to them.
His* i mean if i was the teacher i would of taken home with me😭💔 But then again that probably looks really bad and probably why she didnt do something like that

Everyone in the comments are missing the entire point of this documentary. The social workers, including everyone in the system failed Gabriel. Gabriel definitely got justice, and his peace. Fly high to the beautiful angel he is. However this documentry is a highlight that social workers are NOT doing their job, and that Kids every day are being abused, and killed. This is just one of the worst stories and why they chose this one. Child abuse needs to be stopped. So many people in the system declined to speak about this. Nobody knows what evil went on in that house besides from what we know. Every morning and night for months. The children that are being abused usually have an outlet or none. Gabriel's outlet was school but they never let him go. Yet everyone kept quiet, and knew something was wrong. Many kids are being failed by the systems of child abuse this is what needs to be changed. People who knew Pearl and Isauro humanized them as if they are good people when they are literally psychopaths, drug addicts. I'm so relieved that Isauro got death penalty, and Pearl got life. I just don't understand why Isauro wasn't even the father of the kids and still wanted to only hurt Gabriel. Beautiful intro. Stop Child Abuse. DO YOUR JOB. I hope the social workers rot in hell in prison as well. Stop acting like victims when you murdered a little boy.
The documentary also points out that the ones who WANT to do their jobs aren't allowed to do so, because CPS has become *a lobby* working on how to save money rather than saving children! It's literally in the documentary. Maximus and their pretty façade. They're part of the reason why Gabriel died, and they have NEVER been exposed until this documentary and yet, so many people still ignore their roles in it.
This is the most heartbreaking intro 😭😭💔 I have ever seen the closet they kept him in with his blood splatter all over it send chills through me and breaks my soul 😭😭💔
Desgarradora historia...conmueve mi corazón de madre. No imagino el sufrimiento de ese pobre niño. Me duele profundamente su muerte. Dios hizo justicia sin embargo nada devolverá la vida de este pobre niño. Es una pérdida muy lamentable. Ningún niño debería morir a manos de sus padres. No creo q la madre sienta remordimiento alguno...sinceramente no tiene perdón de Dios.
😢GABRIEL DANIEL FERNÁNDEZ, tu historia me dejo marcada y siempre pienso en ti, yo tengo hijos y no me imagino el tratarlos mal como te lo hicieron a ti mi niño por obra del destino te pareces a mi hijo mayor e incluso también se llama Daniel😢 hoy espero estes en lugar mejor y sobre todo lleno de amor y de paz, espero que en la otra vida nos conozcamos y poderte abrazar y darte el amor que te hizo falta mi niño.
When I saw the nurse scene I cried when she was describing what the poor child endured! No human being can do so much! These people are absolute monsters! Then the intro scene when they showed the box I totally lost it. I’m a guy but I’m very emotional when I saw this. After the first episode I thought I couldn’t handle this anymore. But decided to watch the whole series and commend the prosecutors doing a good job painting the picture for the jury to decide and throw the book at both of these monsters. Pearl IMO should have faced the death sentence.
The Trials of Gabriel Fernandez is a 2020 true crime documentary television series about the 2013 murder and abuse of Gabriel Fernandez, an eight-year-old boy from Palmdale, California. It was released on Netflix as a six-part miniseries on February 26, 2020.
He is Gabriel, named after Archangel Gabriel…Gabriel the messenger of god…and Gabriel this time delivered a message that shocked the world and revealed the lies, abuse and issues within the child protective services and foster/adoption system.
Cant find the ending song of the series, shazam and other apps cant find the song or lyrics, i had the put the subtitles on Netflix: scratched up face in a picture booth feet don't reach the bathroom floor lyrics mother flying through the air neighbor's tree needs me to climb this what i am crayon sun hung on the fence someone laughs at my shoes, oh finger pointing at the moon a little scared when the thunder rolls counting cars from my screen door reaching out for a hand to hold
Every time I see that cupboard...how could anyone do this to a child...I would kill anyone that would hurt my baby but to think that she facilitated the abuse as well and when she read her letter, she didn’t feel sorry...there was no sorrow in her voice or on her face..
Netflix documentaries are pure gold. This theme is perfect. Makes me cry everytime
It's sad 😭😭😭
Same Here...
Its true everytime I see the intro I start to cry hard.
From the many times Gabriel’s shadow is closed off to the darkness, until the light has finally opened meaning he is given the justice that he deserves...
... only for the last shot to show the cubby where it’s already “too late”.
idk why but this intro just give me chills, knowing what i’m about to watch
One of the best openings I've ever seen!
This opening alone should get an award. As well as the whole documentary.
His tiny shadow still gets me I can imagine him in the light his shadow in front of me 😪
I want to grab that shadow and give it a big loving hug
To think he’d be a teenager right now. All of the opportunities he could’ve had were taken away by his abusive mother and her boyfriend. I just wish I could hold him in my arms and say “everything is gonna be alright.” This story is just too heartbreaking

Breaking the cycle we love to see it
Bless you and your child you’re brave to share your story
No excuse for being evil
Kudos to their production theme, the intro represented such the message of a little boy being lost and not finding any guidance. So powerful, well done
0:41 is such touching sad moment when his shadow is getting closer my the darkness and it makes me think of all the trauma this poor boy went through
Yo veo su sombra y es como pensar que un pequeño niño sufrí tanto y al final del día era ignorado por todos y su sufrimiento se repetía. 😭
This documentary (including this theme) pierces your soul! 😢😭😔
Rip to this beautiful, loving soul, Gabriel. I never look at a child the same way now. We remember his birthday every year.
JUSTICE 4 GABRIEL
Sad doc but godamn this intro is sick.
It's sad to idk why
@@nightmareboncreations3944 The images of seeing the shadow and the walls closing in is what gets me. I almost hate how good it is at showing how this boy's life was taken for no reason.
@@dodopoopinpoop he were better off with his uncles smh
With his uncles or grandparents; the child care system is garbage. I was part of it and luckily I escaped it once I was 18

this song is amazing and i love it...so beautiful and powerful
kelly dickens what’s the song?
Even this put me in tears... poor baby.. we all love you, and hope your resting in peace

This is like one of the best intros to a show ever even though it’s a terrible and horrific story . Broke my heart, every episode .
Rest in peace Gabrielito Descansa en paz angelito
What ugly monsters people can turn into
This opening is epic and speaks volumes..... it shows that despite how magnanimous the justice system is, a child who was the victim of the most heinous abuse imaginable got lost in its shadows ....
Just a angel living in a house of demons , rest in peace Gabriel

I’m finally watching the Netflix special. It’s hard to watch without crying. 😔
Honestly this is one of the only docuseries that I cannot finish, I could only take so many episodes before I had to stop. Rip Gabriel 🙏
Era un niño muy guapo con un brillo muy bonito en su mirada por como se ve en las fotos dios nuestro señor lo tiene a su lado
"If you keep lying, your the one that's gonna be in this car."
Russian Spy so sad that so many people had the power to save him, and didn’t...
True atleast is teacher kinda tried but she was afraid to call social services again because Gabriel would come in looking worse each time😭
His* i mean if i was the teacher i would of taken home with me😭💔
But then again that probably looks really bad and probably why she didnt do something like that
Este documental me dejo destruido por dentro porque me hace sentir que hemos fallado muchísimas veces a lo largo de nuestra vida
Mire esa serie. Y no puedo imaginarme lo que ese niño haya sufrido. Lo lloro cada vez que me acuerdo de Él. Dios lo tenga en el cielo
Amén 🙏

The shadows are the darkness when Gabriel was in that cubby the light is the only thing he can see in that cubby

Original song, Crayon Sun by the latin boys, also redone by Throwing muses
Pure art
