A spate of child fatalities in the Antelope Valley — Gabriel Fernandez, Anthony Avalos and Noah Cuatro — has led to calls in recent years for more resources in the underserved region.
Noah Cuatro’s life and tragic death offer a sobering window into how race, cultural sensitivity and trust collided inside the agency.Mr. Cagle, we’re wondering why you decided that Noah’s case didn’t create the need for any employee discipline?
So that’s something that really requires a supervisory and managerial response, to analyze the specifics behind the situation. There have been existing processes that handle this, whereby we bring the team together to look at the allegations, whatever the circumstance is, to determine if there is a reason, for instance, removing a caseworker from a case, or whether there is a need for a different type of engagement with the family. And those circumstances really need to be dealt with as a team.
For over a decade, government watchdogs have reviewed L.A. County fatality cases and said that the agency needs to end with what the Children’s Special Investigations Unit called a “keep the numbers down, don’t detain” mantra. In Noah’s case, we again have a decision not to detain being made in a knee-jerk fashion by people who acknowledged a thin understanding of his case.
The policy of the department is to notify the court within 10 days when a removal order is not carried out.When caseworkers testified about their actions in Noah’s case, they said they had been guided by the department’s Core Practice Model, a policy that emphasizes the family strengths and a less adversarial approach to working with parents.
