The woman who abandoned the two twins in Vila Real Hospital on Sunday, one day after his birth, was found early on Wednesday by the PSP in Chaves. The woman was transported voluntarily to the Commission of Children and Youth Protection Keys, where it was heard. The information was released to the PUBLIC subintendente Paul Flower, spokesman for the PSP, which explained that the location of this mother had been requested by the Protection Commission, which wanted to hear.
On Sunday, Vila Real hospital communicated to the PSP a woman, 38, disappeared with addiction problems around the hospital lunch hour after birth of twins and without discharge. The medical staff was concerned about the health of the woman, as it had lost much blood during childbirth. “The PSP reported the matter to court and child protection commission and young people”, says Paul Bloom.
It was the Protection Commission who asked the PSP to find the lady, as she needed to hear urgently. “The Key PSP located today [Wednesday] at 10:30 am the lady and moved to voluntarily to the committee, to be heard,” said Paul Bloom.
PUBLIC unsuccessfully tried to contact the Commission Child and Youth Protection (CPCJ) keys to where the case was forwarded. The president of CPCJ of Vila Real, João Fontes, stressed that “children are well” and that the various services are “articulated” in finding a solution to the case. “They’re in the hospital, are stabilized”, he explained, excusing it to advance further details. The hospital had already clarified that are delivered “from birth” in their care. Shown are “clinically stable” and received medical care “appropriate to their clinical situation.”
The prosecutor’s office said only, email , which became aware of the situation and began already on Tuesday, the “due diligence” to protection of newborns left by the mother in the hospital’s neonatal unit. He added that is also working towards getting “the necessary elements for the establishment of appropriate procedures in the Family Court and Minor and eventually in the criminal context.” Questioned again by the PUBLIC, the Attorney General’s Office said that “and attic to be collected the elements necessary for the identification and adoption of the protection measure concretely proves adequate”, without specifying which.
The mother of 38, who lives in Chaves, left the obstetrics service the day after the birth, “without giving any information about the output motive or intent of future procedure “said the Hospital of Tras-os-Montes and Alto Douro, it belongs to the Vila Real unit
Missing from the time the Sunday lunch, the woman -. that, according to the Journal News , has a 12 year old daughter to live with her grandparents in an apartment in Chaves – Vila Real entered the hospital on Saturday afternoon in labor, which lasted at dawn .
Already on Tuesday, without referring specifically to this situation, the head of Vila Real hospital said that in such cases the hospital takes on the parental power of minors, who are temporarily in their care.
As for the criminal matter, the prosecutor explained “is not yet possible to make any criminal framework of the situation, particularly in the context of the exhibition crime or abandonment, provided for in art. 138 of the Criminal Code. “
This crime presupposes the abandonment place the life of the minor at risk, which did not occur in this case. It would be crime parents to leave one small child alone at home or in a place where it in danger.
Heard PUBLIC by a law expert of minors who asked not to be identified argues that in this case there will be no crime, one Since women “abandoned children in a hospital, not putting your life at risk.” To stand before the crime of exposure to danger or abandonment is necessary that the victim in this case the lowest, is left where it will be in risk, he said.
Now, you must realize that the same mother rejected the children or suffered from postpartum depression. If you conclude that it was even a rejection and that neither she nor other family members are able to stay with the children, the twins should be addressed quickly to adoption, says.
Almost 600 abandonment cases last year
number of “children abandoned or left to themselves “in recent years, Portugal has suffered fluctuations. Last year, more than 300 of the country CPCJ handled 1456 complaints. Only new processes, open throughout the year, were 585 – the rest carried over from previous years and relate to children processes that had been closed have been reopened
