Gabriel Fernandez death: Charges dismissed against social workers involved in Palmdale boys case
Read full article: Gabriel Fernandez death: Charges dismissed against social workers involved in Palmdale boys caseLos Angeles, CA (KABC) A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge dismissed charges against social workers who were accused of child abuse and falsifying records related to the death of 8-year-old Gabriel Fernandez. The dismissal was long expected after an appellate panel ruled in January that the social workers should not face charges for failing to prevent the torture and killing of the Palmdale boy. The Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services sent a statement on Thursday responding to the dismissal of charges, which said:We respect the court's decision. In January, a three-justice panel of the 2nd District Court of Appeal issued an opinion directing a lower court to dismiss the charges against the social workers. Lomeli also handled the social worker case and in 2018 had denied a motion to dismiss the charges, saying the boy's death was "foreseeable."
