members of the Minors and Family Operational Unit (UOMF) of the General Corps of the Canary Islands Police (CGPC) investigate in Tenerife to three people from the same family for the alleged child abduction, after having carried out different police actions with said family without reaching a satisfactory result.
Thus, on Friday morning, the members of said unit proceeded to the indictment of three peopleSpecifically, the child’s mother, as well as the child’s maternal grandparents. All for an alleged crime of child abduction, having retained him in serious breach of duty established by administrative resolution.
The affected minor has been reinstated to the protection center entrusted with his custody, after the agents request the judicial authority a home entrance with the sole purpose of extracting him from the family circle. And before the refusal to hand over the minor of the family members.
The family did not proceed to readmit the minor
According to police sources, the service began at the request of the General Directorate for Child and Family Protection and the Minors Section of the Santa Cruz de Tenerife Provincial Prosecutor’s Office, given the seriousness of the events.
Said sources have affirmed that the facts reveal conduct on the part of the family indicative of a crime of child abduction. It has been proven by the police that the family, taking advantage of the fact that the minor had a residence permit with her, did not re-admit the minor to the protection center that was entrusted with his custody.
Last year, said unit already acted with this same family and the police action led to the assumption of the guardianship by the Government of the Canary Islands. Which he continues to maintain, and for which the minor had to be reinstated. The police proceedings have been delivered to the Investigating Court hearing the case.
