Murder of Elisa Izquierdo
Elisa Izquierdo (February 11, 1989 – November 22, 1995) was a six-year-old Puerto Rican–Cuban-American girl〔 who was beaten to death by her mother Awilda Lopez, a New York City drug addict, in 1995.
Described by authorities in New York as the "worst case of child abuse they had ever seen," the life and death of Elisa Izquierdo first made city and then national headlines when it became clear that New York City's Child Welfare System (now the Administration for Children's Services) missed numerous opportunities to intervene with her family and to save her life. These failures to protect Elisa subsequently became the inspiration for Elisa's Law, a major restructuring of the New York child welfare increasing accountability of parties involved in child welfare and reducing areas of confidentiality relating to public disclosure in cases of this nature. Elisa's Law was implemented in February, 1996.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nyc.gov/html/acs/html/about/elisaslaw.shtml )〕
Her life story became the subject numerous media articles, from local tabloids such as the ''New York Daily News'' and ''The New York Post'' to the cover of ''Time Magazine''. Her story was featured on an August 1996 episode of ''Dateline NBC''. Elisa was once referred to as a modern-day Cinderella because she had been under the protection of a loving father and had befriended Prince Michael of Greece through her school before being placed into the custody of her mother.
==Family==
Elisa Izquierdo was born on February 11, 1989, in Woodhull Hospital Brooklyn, New York. Her father, Gustavo, was a Cuban immigrant, whereas her mother, Awilda, was a Puerto Rican raised in Brooklyn. The pair had met at a homeless shelter two years prior to Elisa's birth, where Gustavo worked part-time as a cleaner and caterer.〔 Awilda herself was a temporary resident at the shelter, having been evicted from the apartment she shared with a previous partner (with whom she had had two children) due to failure to pay rent — in part caused by her usage of narcotics. The two began a temporary relationship, although reportedly, this ended when Gustavo discovered Awilda – at the time pregnant with Elisa – was using crack cocaine. Concern by her own family as to her usage of drugs resulted in Awilda losing custody of her two eldest children, Rubencino and Kasey, to her own family in 1988.〔
