In LA: An 8-year-old Boy killed for Playing with Dolls


This is so sad to post.

8-year-old Gabriel Fernandez was abused to death by his mother and her boyfriend. The reason, because he liked playing with dolls. The way they killed him is way worse than you ever could imagine. According to the reports, they used pepper spray on him, forced Gabriel to eat his own vomit and locked him in a cabinet.

Here's more
Fernandez, 30, and her boyfriend, Isauro Aguirre, 34, are in jail awaiting trial on charges of capital murder and a special circumstance of torture. They have pleaded not guilty. Attorneys representing the couple could not be reached for comment Monday. Because of repeated delays in setting a preliminary hearing, prosecutors convened a grand jury. The indictment was returned July 28.

Fernandez and Aguirre deliberately tortured the boy to death, hiding their tracks with forged doctor's notes and lies to authorities, Deputy Dist. Atty. Jonathan Hatami told the grand jury. "For eight straight months, he was abused, beaten and tortured more severely than many prisoners of war," Hatami said.

The abuse worsened in the months leading up to Gabriel's death, according to testimony from two of his siblings, both of whom are minors. They said Gabriel was forced to eat cat feces, rotten spinach and his own vomit. He slept in a locked cabinet and wasn't let out to go to the bathroom. Fernandez and Aguirre called Gabriel gay, punished him when he played with dolls and forced him to wear girls' clothes to school, the siblings said.

Fernandez and Aguirre hit Gabriel with a belt buckle, a metal hanger, a small bat and a wooden club, Gabriel's brother said. Their mother once jabbed Gabriel in the mouth with a bat and knocked out several teeth, according to testimony.
If found guilty, I want them to suffer.

And, in some places, they say gay folks shouldn't be parents because kids need a mother and father.

Lock 'em and toss away the key. Forever.

I cannot comprehend how human beings can have the capacity to commit such crimes against a child or animals. Absolutely unthinkable. Poor Gabriel.

Oh, they will suffer if convicted. Inmates are known to make child molesters/killers pay the ultimate price for their crimes. I'm certain these two will not live long enough to serve their sentences for that reason.
