The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday approved a $20 million landmark settlement in the death of Noah Cuatro, a Palmdale boy who was tortured and murdered by his parents in 2019. Evangelina Hernandez, the 4-year-old’s great-grandmother, filed the wrongful death suit against the county in July 2020 on behalf of Noah’s 6-year-old sister and two brothers, ages 5 and 11, criticizing the actions of employees of the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS).
