Several parents from the Pozuelo de Alarcón daycare center, in Madrid, investigated for alleged mistreatment of children, testified this Friday before the judge handling the case. Also, they have been able see images that for the lawyers of those affected are “very serious” and reflect “physical and psychological violence.”
This is what Silvia Hevia Menéndez, from the Vox Legis office, who represents one of the families who took their children to the Pecas daycare center, explained. The center has been closed since Februarywhen the criminal process began, by order of the City Council because it carried out an extension without a license.
to this center The children of Atlético de Madrid players attended Antoine Griezmann and Álvaro Morata, who are two of the families that were summoned, as confirmed by legal sources.
The judge has heard from a worker who already testified months ago and who has done so again as a witness. She has reported that she was a partner of the caregiver who recorded the alleged abuse and that ratifies aggressive attitudes of some of them towards childrenthe lawyer has assured.
It is the first time that these families go to court in order to give their testimony and identify possible victims in the images that a caregiver recorded to denounce how the minors were treated, and which gave rise to the process. Parents have seen “very serious” and “hard” imageswith “physical and psychological violence”, for which there is no doubt that the attitude of the caregivers investigated is criminal.
The family that said lawyer represents is “concerned and distressed” by some acts committed against very young children whose parents supposedly took them to a place “of absolute protection and exquisite treatment.” Now they see that it was a place “of constant and habitual abuse.”
His priority is that something like this “does not happen again.”that it does not happen to other minors,” said the lawyer, who recalled that the accused caregivers can continue working today. The lawyer wanted to highlight the great work carried out by the Police, who have reviewed hours of recordings, and the magistrate in the case.
In this cause There are a total of 21 families indicted and six people investigatedworkers at the Pecas daycare center. In June, the Provincial Court of Madrid confirmed the restraining measure for two workers, when the recordings showed “numerous behaviors of abuse”, given that in them the caregivers pressed their heads, grabbed them by the neck, and threw them against the mats. or they push them violently.
Previously, two educators who did internships at the nursery They testified before the judge that they saw “abrupt acts” and “aggressiveness” against the children, while one of the directors denied that there was inadequate treatment and alluded to the good track record of the center.
