Cristian Fernandez is only 12 years old. And if Florida prosecutor Angela Corey has her way, he’ll never leave jail again.
Cristian hasn’t had an easy life. He’s the same age now as his mother was when he was born. He’s a survivor of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. In 2010, Cristian watched his stepfather commit suicide to avoid being charged with abusing Cristian.
Last January, Cristian was wrestling with his 2-year-old brother, David, and accidentally broke David’s leg. Despite this, their mother left Cristian with his brother again in March. While the two boys were alone, Cristian allegedly pushed his brother against a bookcase, and David sustained a head injury. After their mother returned home, she waited six hours before taking David to the hospital. David eventually died.
Now Cristian is being charged with first degree murder — as an adult. He’s the youngest person in the history of his Florida county to receive this charge, and his next hearing is scheduled for tomorrow.
REBLOG AND SIGN THE PETITION BELOW
they dont do this shit to lil white boys. only to ours.
Signed this petition earlier today. This just plain isn’t right. AT ALL.
Mm. Here in Alberta, Canada a white 12 year old girl (and her 23 year old boyfriend) murdered her mother, father and little brother in their sleep. Stabbed them all to death. White 12 year old girl stayed in custody until she turned 18 (right now!) and is currently attending the University of Calgary, living on her own, and has no one to report to. She’s a free woman.
Fucked up that this beautiful little boy is looking at a life sentence for something that was pure accident.
