The Boy in the Cupboard // 006

In what some have called the worst case of child abuse in Los Angeles County history, 8-year-old Gabriel Fernandez suffered prolonged torture at the very hands of those entrusted to protect him.  Early reports alleged his death was accidental. But the investigation would quickly reveal a much darker, more evil series of events that would ultimately shake the cracked foundation of the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services to its core.  A BB gun, a belt, and a small cupboard were just the beginning of Gabriel’s proverbial house of horrors.
