Monster convicted of torturing 8-year-old to death because he thought the child was gay

Source: LGBTQNation




By Bil Browning · Thursday, November 16, 2017

Gabriel Fernandez led a short and agonizing life. The child was brutally tortured for months by his mother and her boyfriend because they thought he was gay.

Fernandez’s mother and her boyfriend, Isauro Aguirre, were charged with murder in the case and after a weeks-long trial full of shocking and heartbreaking testimony, Aguirre has been convicted of first degree murder.

Four social workers who “investigated” allegations of abuse but didn’t remove him from the home have been charged with child abuse and other charges.

Deputy District Attorney Jonathan Hatami broke down in tears at a press conference following the verdict. He told reporters he was a father and also the victim of child abuse when he was younger.

Where do you get your morals from that you think you're doing something good by tormenting a child this way?

What's your moral signpost that points you down that road and where the fuck is your internal sense of right and wrong that doesn't stop somewhere before feeding a kid vomit and kitty litter to "get the satan out of him" or whatever.

Jesus christ on a stick.

Siblings of slain eight-year-old boy describe how their mother and her boyfriend made him eat cat feces and forced him to wear girls clothes over eight months of abhorrent abuse 'because they thought he was gay'

WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT

Gabriel Fernandez's teenager brother and sister testified in court on Wednesday
They described how Isauro Aguirre picked on the eight-year-old and beat him
Gabriel was made to sleep in a cubby handcuffed and was forced to eat cat feces
He once was made to eat his own vomit off the table and he was burned with cigarettes, they said.
Their mother Pearl Fernandez was complicit and beat him on occasion, they said
She asked them to lie to social workers and say Gabriel was injured when he was playing with them
Gabriel died in May 2013 after being rendered brain dead by one of the beatings
Aguirre, 37, is currently standing trial for his murder in Los Angeles
He admits beating and torturing the boy but says his death was not intentional
Fernandez will be tried at a later date once her boyfriend's case is over

How on earth could they fail to realize how helpless children really are, after all. They have no where to hide from monsters, upon whom they are unfortunately dependent.

Death is too good for these fucktrollops. They need to suffer as that poor boy did. I don't want these douches to lead a peaceful life while they have that much hatred in their hearts.

Wait until he gets to prison, and meets the REAL tough guys. Guys who would never punch a little boy, but enjoy punching men who do.I hope the guards look the other way when these two get their just rewards from fellow prisoners. She does not earn the right to be called "mom" Disgusting excuse for a mother.
