A judge dropped Thursday the charges against four social workers accused of child abuse and falsification of public records for the case of the death of the Latino child Gabriel Fernandez at los angeles county.

The workers of the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), Stefanie Rodríguez and Patricia Clement, and their respective supervisors, Kevin Bom and Gregory Merritt, were charged in April 2016 by the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office.

After a preliminary hearing at the time, the judge Mary Lou Villar of the Los Angeles Superior Court found that social workers and supervisors they had a “legal obligation to protect” the child and there were sufficient indications to suspect that the child could be seriously injured or die at the hands of her mother and her boyfriend.

DCFS employees fired after internal investigation into eight-year-old boy’s case, who died of abuse suffered by the mother Pearl Sinthia Fernández and her boyfriend Isauro Aguirre.

However, the judge George Lomelí of the Los Angeles County Superior Court dropped the accusations this Thursday after the prosecution reported in January that the Second District Court of Appeals I think that “the trial judge should have granted a defense motion to dismiss the case

Initial research found that the boy’s death occurred as a result of the abuse suffered by his mother and boyfriend, but also because the DCFS officials should have acted more diligently to avoid tragedy.

Gabriel passed away on March 23, 2013 in Palmdale, to the north of The Angels, being in the custody of his mother, despite the fact that they had appeared 62 child abuse complaints against her and her boyfriend, according to the investigation of the case.

Isauro Aguirre was sentenced to death and mother Pearl Fernández to life in prison for the murder of the minor, who suffered multiple injuries, including skull fracture, broken ribs and burns on his body, according to research.
