Abandoned children taken into care
TORREMOLINOS – THE Junta de Andalucia has provisionally assumed custody of the four minors who were allegedly abandoned by their mother in Torremolinos (EWN Issue 1310, August 12). They have been sent to a centre for minors until it is decided whether any of their relatives can take care of them.
Meanwhile the mother, who had been investigated by social services in another region of Spain several years ago, was set free.
She was arrested after her 21-year-old daughter reported her to the police because she attacked her. The young woman claimed that she had reproached her mother for drinking too much and leaving her brothers and sisters alone.
She was also wanted by the authorities for three charges of fraud.
