Four California social workers to stand trial in boy's beating death

Judge Mary Lou Villar found that sufficient evidence existed to charge the four in the death of Gabriel Fernandez, who was found dead at his mother’s home in 2013.Prosecutors previously alleged that the two social workers and two supervisors minimized the abuse Fernandez suffered, despite routine visits to his Los Angeles-area home and warnings from his teacher that he was in danger.Stefanie Rodriguez and Patricia Clement, social workers for the Department of Children and Family Services,
