In a powerful exposé that’s shaking California’s social services to its core, the National Enquirer has unveiled the identity of the child at the center of one of the most emotional and fast-growing protest movements in Los Angeles — an infant now widely known as Baby Angelina.
The story, titled “Who is Baby Angelina? The Infant at the Heart of the Los Angeles DCFS Protest Uprising,” dives deep into the system — the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). Baby Angelina, an 11-month-old girl, has become a symbol of the anger and heartbreak felt by thousands of families who allege injustice of by the agency.
The public’s response was swift and visceral, with marches erupting outside Los Angeles courthouses and DCFS offices.
What started as a local outcry has grown into a full-fledged movement, with hundreds showing up to demand reform, accountability, and answers. Advocates say Baby Angelina’s case is not isolated — but rather, the “tip of the iceberg” in a long-standing pattern of family separations and questionable practices.

A Symbol of Resistance
The National Enquirer describes how Baby Angelina has become a rallying cry for frustrated parents, civil rights activists, and community leaders who feel unheard. Protest signs bearing her name and likeness are now a common sight at citywide demonstrations, alongside chants of “Justice for Baby Angelina” and “Reform DCFS Now.”
“She’s not just one baby — she represents all of us,” said one protestor quoted in the piece. “What happened to her could happen to any of our children.”

Growing Pressure on Officials
The National Enquirer article also highlights increasing pressure on local government officials to investigate, with demands ranging from independent audits to sweeping legislative reform. Petition campaigns are gaining traction, and several public figures have already spoken out in support of the movement.
