ABUSED TO DEATH 5 – MY NAME IS GABRIEL FERNANDEZ

Child Abuse True Crime Biography – the boy behind the headlines

By: Jessica Jackson

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

This book covers one case – the story of Gabriel Fernandez – probably the best known victim of child murder by abuse in the US. Don't miss this chance to get to know the boy behind the lurid headlines.

Like Baby P in the UK, the torture of the eight-year-old shocked the nation, with many of us also watching the Netflix documentary on the case: The Trials of Gabriel Fernandez, with anger, sadness and frustration, leaving us with as many questions as answers:

• Why was he taken from his loving home?
• Why weren't his injuries taken seriously?
• Who failed him the most?

And the question I ask in all my books: "How can we prevent children from being abused to death by their caregivers?"

Written from the child’s point of view, this story is not suitable for those under 18 nor those likely to be disturbed by descriptions of child abuse.

It seems more like a book promoting herself as an author

She skimmed on the facts. Where is the information? It’s more like cliff notes for the Netflix documentary than a book explaining the story. I don’t have Netflix and for me to know the information I will have to google to hear what all happened. If you are going to write a true crime, actually document what happened in the trial, arrest, etc.
