To its turn the director of the ICBF in the Atlantic, Benjamín Collantesaid that the house where the children were was located, and they were taken to zonal centers, to start an administrative process to restore the rights of the children.

Collante explained that at this time the complaints about the children’s mother, whom witnesses accuse of being a consumer of hallucinogenic substances, are being verified. It is also evaluated whether there are guarantees in the family environment to return the minors, otherwise, “an adoption process will begin.”
