Gabriel Fernandez Docu-Series on Netflix

Specialties School

Published

It was painful to watch, but once I started I had to know what happened and I ended up binging the series this weekend. Anyone else see it? My thought throughout the whole thing was "Where is the school nurse?!" And regarding the teacher who called CPS to report the abuse 3+ times... did she do enough? I don't think so (just my opinion).

Yes, me too. I was like but she didn't do all that to the other two. Yep, it was horrible. It was also interesting that her family said she was the dominant one in the relationships.

The boyfriend hated Gabriel because he thought he was gay. He tried to beat the gay out of him.

Someone did call 911. They said it wasn't an emergency and had him call the sheriff's office. They did nothing. I don't think the teacher could have done anything more. We could get charged for not sending the child home.. ask me how I know ?. The only time we could keep a kid is if CPS or the police department told us to.

Could you please elaborate on getting charged for not sending a child home?

Charge would be kidnapping? False imprisonment? Defamation of parents' character? Other?

I can't stomach watching this docu-series yet, but I am reading through the comments posted here. Some have said the teachers are told to not call 911 until an admin has been involved in the situation. Perhaps an anonymous 911 call requesting a welfare check could be made if there is push back from an administrator when there is concerns about a student that are being poo-pooed.

@adventure_rn I had forgotten about that scene with the trauma nurse that interviewed him. I know this is not the point of your comment at all, but as I watched it, I was wondering how she was able to speak about the incident (ie violate HIPAA). Kind of a technical question, but I was curious, if anyone happens to know the specifics (like maybe she testified and is allowed to repeat her testimony, since it is an open record?)

I was wondering about that, too. Those are all great thoughts.

The teacher mentioned "the nurse said the red eye was pink eye" I could tell from the picture on TV that it was a subconjunctival hemorrhage. Therefore, I don't think there was a nurse, I searched the school web site - found nothing. While searching I found this and his teacher is in the picture. http://theavtimes.com/2019/05/09/principal-and-teachers-placed-on-leave-over-controversial-photo-at-summerwind-elementary/
