Many people have heard of the cases we are about to talk about, but there’s a couple of important pieces of information that people often get wrong when they talk about them. The first is the belief that a horrific murder of a child under CPS oversight with a detailed history is an anomaly, that’s sadly not the case. Now, many people recognize that the amount of people who tried to help the poor boys we are discussing today are more than you could comfortably fit in the room we're sitting in, as well as the fact that dozens upon dozens of calls were made to the police and to various social services to try to save them. And yes, that does not sound real, but as nightmarish as it sounds, it did happen. This happens more often than you think, this channel is proof of that, and one of the worst parts of doing this is we can only cover the victims that are more than a small blurb in the newspaper. Yes, that’s right. Most murders, even those involving children, end up being nothing more than a small obituary, or a paragraph on a news website.
The second thing people often get wrong with this case, is that despite the catastrophic negligence of the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Families, the average person believes the spokespeople from LA County who claimed that they would fix every problem in their system and that a case like this would never happen again here.
But sadly, it did happen again. It happened at least two more times that we know of. Inside a county that should have known better. A county that openly told us that it knew better. We will talk about those two other times later in the video. But first, let’s dive into the cases that opened our eyes to the systemic issues inside of the departments put in place to protect children. These are the stories of Gabriel Fernandez, Anthony Avalos, and Noah Cuatro.
