The National Secretariat for Childhood, Adolescence and Family (SENNIAF) categorically rejected this information. According to reports, the minor is not institutionalized. Everything, as indicated, is duly substantiated in the file. As this case involves a minor, the entity stated that it cannot provide additional public information, in compliance with current regulations and in the best interest of the child. It was emphasized that each case is handled in accordance with established procedures. The Secretariat reiterated that its role is the comprehensive protection of childhood and adolescence. The National Secretariat for Childhood, Adolescence and Family (SENNIAF) denied the supposed disappearance of a minor from its facilities and clarified that it did not 'take away' the child from his mother. A video that caused concern about a mother begging SENNIAF to return her son went viral on social media. That is to say, he is not in any shelter in the country.
