Breaking: Anthony Avalos’ mother and her boyfriend have been found guilty of murder in the death of the 10-year-old, whose short and tragic life exposed massive shortcomings in L.A. County's child welfare system.
Anthony Avalos’ mother and her boyfriend were convicted of murder in the death of the 10-year-old, which exposed shortcomings in L.A. County’s child welfare system.for years, but the situation turned even more dangerous, and deadly, after she began dating Leiva. An alleged gang member, Leiva would routinely beat the children with belts, prosecutors said, pour hot sauce in their mouths and make Anthony and his siblings fight one another.
In June 2018, paramedics arrived at the family’s Lancaster home to find Anthony brain dead and without a pulse, according to Deputy Dist. Atty. Saeed Teymouri. During his opening statement, Teymouri spoke while displaying pictures of a withered Anthony in an emergency room. He said the boy was “so malnourished and dehydrated that his veins were collapsed.
Yet, the boy remained in Leiva and Barron’s home. The agency never made an attempt to remove the children from Barron’s custody and no DCFS employees have been disciplined in connection with the case. The children, Rafael and Destiny, took the stand in one of the most brutal days of the relentlessly emotional trial. Rafael, now 12, told the courtroom that Leiva took his own children and fled once he realized Barron was calling the police. When Barron’s attorney asked whom he blamed for Anthony’s death, Rafael simply blurted out the name “Kareem.”
