Community Demands Justice After Toddler's Death in Cristo Rey

Community Demands Justice After Death of Two-Year-Old in Cristo Rey A wave of grief and anger has swept through the La 43 sector of Cristo Rey following the death of two-year-old Luis Gabriel Díaz. The toddler passed away last Monday after allegedly suffering injuries inflicted by his stepfather, who is currently in police custody. Community members are demanding swift justice and a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the child's death. "If the stepfather is in prison, the mother should also be arrested. They both lived with the child, they slept together," said one community member in an interview with CDN Canal 37. This sentiment reflects the widespread belief that the mother bears some responsibility for the child's fate. Another resident, Joel, added, "If they released the mother, they should also release the stepfather, because both are responsible." This highlights the community's perception of shared culpability and the call for equal accountability. The incident has sparked outrage and renewed calls for stronger measures to protect children from violence. The community's demand for justice underscores the gravity of the situation and the need for a swift and comprehensive resolution.
