Aguzzini in casa: la vicenda del piccolo Gabriel Fernandez

Sad, heartbreaking, gut wrenching, angry, mad....

All these words are emotions you will feel watching this.

But please keep in mind, if you are just a relative, by law you cannot just take the child without the mother's permission, it is called kidnapping.

That being said, there were numerous points of failures by many individuals that could have prevented this tragedy.

This is a disturbing documentary about a boy who was systematically abused by his mother and her boyfriend, and nobody did anything about it, although the signs of physical abuse were blatant. I don't regret watching it because I work in social services, with children and youth, and it is a reminder of our duty to them above anything else. I would not recommend everyone to watch it as it gave me nightmares.

The systematic failure and the abuse this sweet boy had to endure is just devastating. A lot of series tend to drag what could be a short 2 hour film. But this series did an excellent job going through all the details to clearly portray how on earth something like this happened to a helpless young innocent boy.

Great series

Pay attention people, think about how abuse has affected us all in one way or another, big or small. This is yet another account of the consequences of abuse left unchecked in people. This is what happens when pain is left untreated and unacknowledged in society, this is how it manifests - through death of the innocent. I recommend everyone watch this to get an understanding of the magnitude of this problem. What happened to this boy is what happens to so many children and people in general on a daily basis in our society, we have to start thinking in terms of the collective, not just for ourselves. We are all responsible for each other and we can prevent things like this from happening.

As soon as I hit play I was crying and didn't stop until the end... I hadn't heard of Gabriel before this documentary... Now I don't think I will ever forget him.. It's a hard watch
