Children's freedom: horrific life in garbage horror house ended!

A shocking case of child abuse and neglect occurred in Spain, where a German parents kept his three children, aged 8 to 10 years, locked up in a neglected house for years. The 53-year-old father and the 48-year-old mother, a German-American, were arrested by the police in her family home in Fitoria, on the outskirts of Oviedo. The officers were stunned by the catastrophic living conditions of the children, which were severely found when the neighbors alerted the police after watching suspicious activities.

The children are said to have lived in this "horror house" since October 2021 without ever going to school or a doctor. They were dirty and malnourished in their liberation, lived in small grid beds and were completely isolated. The treating forces noticed that the children were relieved and were amazed at the simple thing to stand on the grass. Another alarming detail of the operation was to find a sick cat in the house that also illustrated the unworthy living conditions.

Investigations and legal consequences

After the arrest, the parents were taken into custody without deposit. The case has led to a procedure for domestic violence, psychological abuse and child neglect, in which possible deprivation of freedom is also addressed. The custody of the children was transferred to the government of the Asturias region, while the parents were brought up to an investigative judge. You are now confronted with serious charges that could significantly shape the future of your family.

In Germany, a right to non -violent education has been in effect since 2000, which is anchored in paragraph 1631 paragraph 2 of the Civil Code. These legal provisions serve to protect the child's well -being and prohibit physical and mental violence. The state is obliged to act immediately in the event of signs of child welfare to protect children. In 2022, around 62,300 cases of child welfare were documented across Germany, with a worrying increase in recent years.

scope of the child's well -being in Germany

In cases of acute danger, youth welfare offices can temporarily take care of children in order to protect them from further damage. This is increasingly done because in 2022 a total of around 66,400 preliminary protective measures were carried out. This development illustrates the challenges with which child protection is confronted and the willingness of the authorities to protect children in danger.

The case in Spain illustrates the urgency and complexity of child welfare issues that go beyond national borders. While there are legal framework conditions in Germany to protect children, this incident shows that international contexts also have to be decisive against misuse and neglect to secure the well -being of the children.
