Isauro Aguirre: The Murder Of Pearl Fernandez

Recently, Isauro Aguirre, a security guard, attended court for the murder of Pearl Fernandez’s eight-year old son. Pearl Fernandez was involved in the murder of her own child; however, she will be tried separately. Child abuse occurs to many children. In many cases, children usually do not have the courage to speak up. Isauro Aguirre along with, girlfriend, Pearl Fernandez should be sentenced to death because of child neglect, tormenting a child, and for killing Pearl Fernandez’s son, Gabriel Fernandez.
Isauro and Pearl should be charged for murder for many evident reasons. To start off, the first reason is the act of child neglect. Child neglect is a terrible epidemic that happens everywhere in the world. Isauro and Pearl failed to provide

Keeping a child in a claustrophobic box for several hours is not humane, but what is even worse, without any essential needs. Isauro and Pearl also affected the health of eight year-old Gabriel. Pelisek, an award-winning journalist, said, “According to Ezequiel’s testimony, Gabriel was beaten daily and was forced to eat cat feces and cat litter.” (par.10). Cat litter contains toxics that are harmful to the body, and it can cause serious internal damage. With that said, the second reason why Isauro and Pearl should be sentenced is for tormenting a child. Gabriel suffered numerous counts of unthinkable abuse from both Peal and Aguirre. Crimesider staff reported, “The coroner found the boy's skull had been fractured in numerous places, his ribs had been broken multiple times, his teeth were knocked out, patches of his hair were missing and he had cigarette burns on his body.”

Every kid should be able to feel comfortable in their own home with their mother; however, this was not the case. Isauro despised Gabriel for the intention that Gabriel was gay. Even Gabriel’s siblings witnessed the horrendous abuse brought on Gabriel. Marcano, a journalist, mentioned, “Fernandez's 16-year-old brother said in court that his mother would cover wounds with makeup or ask him and his sister to lie to social workers and tell them that the 8-year-old's injuries were from the brothers playing around.” (par.3). Gabriel lived his childhood being beaten and tortured without being able stop it. Another emotional appeal is that social workers were capable of but did not do anything to protect the well-being of Gabriel. Many times social workers were called to Gabriel’s house due to Gabriel’s bruises and burns on his body. However, Gabriel was never removed from the home .City News Services informs,”...reports that social workers repeatedly visited the family's home in response to allegations of abuse, but the boy was left in the custody of his mother.” (par.3). People entrust Child protective services because they play a vital role in the community, but as soon as they fail to do their duty, people now do not have anyone to depend on to keep the children safe.
