Anthony Avalos would have turned 14 years old Saturday, and people who knew the boy from Lancaster are remembering him, as a legal battle continues over how he died.
DA George Gascón's office has ordered the death penalty off the table in the trial of a Lancaster couple accused of torturing and murdering 10-year-old Anthony Avalos.
The family sued the county and multiple social workers for failing to properly respond to multiple reports of abuse against Anthony and his 6 half-siblings. The social worker assigned to Anthony's case was the same one who had previously allegedly not reported abuse in the death of 8-year-old Gabriel Fernandez.
"We are the voice for all the children, for all the children that have been abused," said Olivia Rubio, Gabriel Fernandez's aunt."We need to stop this child abuse. There needs to be more awareness out there." The district attorney handling Anthony's case says that after a long delay due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the case against his mother and her boyfriend is finally about to go to trial.
