'The Trials of Gabriel Fernandez' mentions Gabriel's grandparents Robert and Sandra Fernandez, who the boy lived with before his mother got custody back.
is that the boy had not one, but two different loving homes before his motherThe first of these was with his great-uncle Michael Lemos Carranza and his partner David Martinez , who raised the boy for four years. However, according toagainst the County of Los Angeles in 2013, though Carranza and Martinez raised the child, his grandparents always had custody.
The claim alleges that,"in or about March of 2005, Pearl Fernandez turned over custody of her son Gabriel Fernandez to her parents, Robert and Sandra Fernandez stating she did not want Gabriel and had no love for the child." Martinez alleges in the documentary that in 2009, Gabriel's grandparents took in the child after they expressed concern about him being raised by two gay men. From thereon, Gabriel lived with his grandparents until around October 2012 when the Los Angeles County Sheriff's department"assist[ed] in the removal of Gabriel" according to the claim.
At Aguirre's trial, Robert Fernandez also said that he only saw Gabriel two or three times after his mother regained custody, and gave testimony of one of the last times he saw the child alive. He said,"He [Gabriel] said he wanted to come home. I told him that... the DCFS was investigating the case and I couldn't bring him home, but that they were, one of these days, going to bring him home. And I promised that to him.
