Gabriel Fernandez Dedication

Upon watching this series How could I not write? This little boy’s future Could have been so bright If not exposed on Netflix We would be none the wiser Knowing this boy was a fighter A beautiful little boy Gabriel was born Not wanted by his mum Pearl– she left She did not mourn Left in hospital at 3 days old A selfish woman She was cold Raised by his uncle, he was a happy boy To be taken away It did destroy The uncle was gay, The family said Gabriel cannot stay At his grandmothers he lived For a short time only Gabriel felt so lonely What was about to come to Gabriel Was nothing short of a living Hell Pearl, his mum came out of the blue Covered in tattoos “I want my son, I have a boyfriend On which I can depend Gabriel asked, why do you let Isauro’s treat you bad, He heard this and became extremely mad Wanting Gabriel for government money This makes you sick To your tummy Isauro & Pearl beaten Gabriel Which in the end led too His memorial The torture he endured The failure from child protection His safety was not ensured Broken ribs on both sides He struggled to breathe This he couldn’t hide Nerves pulled from his ribs The pain he endured was Crippling in clips Bruised from head to toe His teacher seen and acted with know. She was ignored, so frustrated She was appalled Sheriff’s went to check on him But didn’t request to see him, Nothing was done, Gabriel’s life was grim Locked in a cupboard every night & most days Was not allowed to play Smoke burns all over him Head to toe On his skin Forced to eat kitty litter Buy the people he loved They were his killer Eye’s & mouth tapped Bound by handcuffs Gabriel lived Blind man’s bluff Chunks of hair ripped out from his skull Lit on fire Still survived a fighter Teeth knocked out with a bat How did Isauro & pearl sleep at night Doing all that? Punched 20 times on the body 10 times to his head This was it, Gabriel was dead ALL THE AUTHORITIES FAILED GABRIEL Life in prison for pearl, is lenient Hoping she gets bad treatment Death penalty for Isauro Is what he deserved pronto May god bless your soul You sweet little boy No more harm comes to you, My heart aches for what you went through Hope you found peace and some joy Our sweet Gabriel, an 8-year-old boy. xx ULTIMATE EVIL IN THIS WORLD IS SEEING WHATS WRONG, KNOWING WHATS WRONG BUT WALKING AWAY!

Couldn't agree more. One good deed I did above all others. I found out a mother and newborn was going to live with her mother. Once i found out what new born's grandmother was like and the undesirables she let frequent her house and state of house was beyond unclean I notified appropriate people. Mother and child never set foot in house and were given immediate accommodation elsewhere. I ask forgiveness for other times I could have done more. Keep posting Smile despite all Regards David in NZ
