This hits close to home and breaks my heart, the (so-called) parents of this child (gay or not gay) should face the death penalty for their crime. The irony of this case is, social workers had responded to multiple reports from Gabriels teacher and grandfather about the abuse the boy suffered. In each instance, child welfare workers determined that Gabriel was not at risk, though the Times notes that those workers never lifted the childs clothing to check for bruises or cuts. After social workers responded to a call from his teacher — who found a suicide note the boy had written — they concluded that the child did not have an immediate or specific plan to carry out his own death. The reality is, all the signs were there, but no one bothered to help this boy. I know what its like to be on the receiving end of parental abuse, but you couldnt say or do a damn thing in my day! There is no excuse today, laws should be passed or strengthened to STOP this type of tragedy. Anyone who abuses a child (verbally or physically) for any reason, is not fit for society. Never again, RIP!
