This week, Drewby and Yergy discuss the case of 10-year-old Anthony Avalos, who died at the hands of his mother and her boyfriend after years of neglect and abuse – with the final blows coming after he allegedly confessed to his mother that he liked boys. Anthony’s case, much like that of Gabriel Fernandez and later Noah Cuatro’s, highlighted the failings of Los Angeles County DCFS, as well as many other agencies that were assigned to advocate for the little boy.
