QUARTZ HILL – Superhero shirts are the requested attire at the funeral for Anthony Avalos<\/strong>, the 10-year-old boy who was allegedly tortured to death by his mother after he came out as gay.<\/p>\n

The 10-year-old Lancaster boy will have a Catholic funeral Friday at a church in Quartz Hill, near where he lived.<\/p>\n

“We would like (it) if everyone can wear superhero shirts, in honor of Anthony,” said a funeral notice published by a family publicist.<\/p>\n

The funeral will start with rosary and viewing at 9 a.m. Friday, July 20, at the Saint Junipero Serra Parish Church, 12121 60th Street West. Funeral mass will be said there at 10 a.m.<\/p>\n

He will be interred at the Good Shepherd Cemetery, 48121 70th Street West.<\/p>\n

The boy was found dying in his home, his body covered with cigarette burns and his head severely injured.<\/p>\n

Anthony’s mother, Heather Barron<\/strong>, 28, and her boyfriend, Kareem Leiva<\/strong>, 32, have been charged with murder and torture in the boy’s death.<\/p>\n

She has seven or eight other children, who have been taken in the county workers, family workers have said.<\/p>\n

The boy’s paternal relatives have alleged that the child was murdered because he had revealed to his mother that he was gay.<\/p>\n
