11. Four social workers...

In March, four social workers were charged with child abuse and other charges for their roles in allowing the boy to suffer and die. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mary Lou Villar said that “red flags were everywhere,” but the social workers failed to file timely reports and mishandled evidence. Villar described their actions as “criminal negligence.”

All four social workers, Aguirre, and the child’s mother have all pled not guilty. Aguirre and Fernandez’s could face the death penalty.
