And another question... where is dear ole dad ?
Dear ole dad has never been around, partly because he went to prison on sexual assault charges after impregnating the boy’s mother when she was just 12 years old.
The mother and her son were put into the foster care system when Fernandez was 2 and she was 14 because authorities found the toddler walking around dirty and naked outside a South Florida motel while his grandmother, who would have been about 34 at the time, nursed a drug habit inside.
Documentation also indicates that abuse was occurring regularly in the home from the beginning of the boy’s life. The turmoil included his stepfather shooting and killing himself in front of the family to avoid arrest on child abuse charges.
