Shocking! Suspected of being gay, an eight-year-old toddler was beaten, kept captive and forced to eat cat poop by mom; dies

In a shocking yet heartwrenching incident, an eight-year-old kid was brutally torched by his mother on a suspicion of being a gay. The mother of the toddler mercilessly beaten up her child, kept captive in a wardrobe, barred his meal and even forced a kid to eat cat poop. The little innocent kid later died leaving a note.

The woman, Pearl Fernandez was sentenced to life and her boyfriend Isauro Aguirre will be executed for their crimes in Los Angeles, California. The heartless parents of the kid inflicted eight-months of horrific abuse on little Gabriel Fernandez before finally killing him in May 2013.

Not only, this the child was repeatedly beaten, starved, tied up, locked in a cabinet, shot in the genitals with a BB gun and even had his teeth knocked out with a bat. The couple even forced the poor lad to eat his own vomit and cat excrement.

As per the report, the mother used to make the kid wear girls dresses to school and batter him if he caught him playing with dolls. Teachers raised the alarm after the boy demonstrated how to snort cocaine and arrived at school bleeding having been beaten with a belt but social workers dismissed the concern, reports.

According to reports, Fernandez called 911 on May 22, 2013, to report that her son wasn't breathing. She told responding deputies that he had fallen and hit his head on a dresser.

The child had a fractured skull, broken ribs, burns across his body and BB gun pellets embedded in his lung. Even he died two days later of blunt-force trauma and neglect, the coroner's office found.

According to reports, Prosecutors have since filed charges of child abuse and falsifying records against four county social workers in Gabriel's death.
