Gabriel in the eyes of the world was a survivor whose life was taken away by two evil caregivers. The reporter and journalists described Gabriel as a sweet and innocent little boy. In the photos they showed of Gabriel, he was always smiling and they wanted all communities to see Gabriel as the victim. In contrast, when a photo of Pearl and her boyfriend was seen, they were seen as mean and resentful. They never smiled and never seemed sorry about the accident. Social workers were also seen as enemies and were presented as such by the media. Reporters interviewed people who blamed the social workers as much as they blamed Gabriel's parents. The media has presented Gabriel's story in ways that will warrant sympathy and empathy. People in the community were distressed by Gabriel's death. After seeing and reading the news about Gabriel's story and the torture he suffered, there is no debate which side the community would take.
