Social workers charged with child abuse in case involving torture killing of Gabriel Fernandez - LA Times:
Four social workers have been charged with child abuse and falsifying public records in the case of the torture death of 8-year-old Gabriel Fernandez in 2012.
In a rare criminal case filing against social workers, Los Angeles County prosecutors allege that the social workers minimized "the significance of the physical, mental and emotional injuries that Gabriel suffered... [and]  allowed a vulnerable boy to remain at home and continue to be abused."
