In the district of La Chorrera, police units in collaboration with the Public Ministry arrested a man and a woman for alleged child abuse, a crime against the legal order, family, and civil status. The action was carried out after receiving a complaint that alerted about the case, which was spread through social media. Thanks to this information, the authorities managed to rescue a child who was chained by a leg inside a house.
Judicial authorities issued an arrest warrant against both individuals. Once detained, they will be transferred to the corresponding facilities to initiate the relevant legal procedures.
In this context, the Public Ministry and police forces worked together to ensure the protection of the child and bring those responsible to justice. This case has generated outrage in the community, as the well-being of minors is an absolute priority and any form of abuse or violence against them is unacceptable.
It is essential that situations like these are reported to be able to act immediately and thus prevent further harm to the affected minors. Citizen collaboration and the quick response from the authorities were key in this rescue operation.
