The one-year-old was in the care of a nanny in Cali when she disappeared last August. He was taken to a hospital because he had been beaten.
A one-year-old boy who disappeared in Cali, Colombia, on August 14 was located a few weeks ago in intensive care at the Francisco de Ycaza Bustamante children’s hospital, located in the south of Guayaquil.
The baby arrived a month ago for intensive care as a result of the blows he had received. Those who took the minor to the hospital abandoned him at the health home and the Police are currently trying to locate them.
Paola F. is the child’s mother. She arrived from Colombia a month ago and filed a complaint with the Guayaquil Prosecutor’s Office, and the Disappeared Unit began to search for the minor.
The mother is Venezuelan and had left the baby in the care of a nanny, also Venezuelan. Paola said that when she returned to pick up her son on August 14, they were no longer at the house where the nanny lived, in Cali. She never answered the phone again and since then she started looking for him in that Colombian city.
The foreigner said that after the disappearance weeks later she received a call from an unknown man informing her that her son had been transferred to Guayaquil.
The mother traveled to Guayaquil and filed the complaint. A month ago they informed him that a child similar to his was injured in the hospital.
He had been entered with the same names, but with different surnames. She went to the health home and recognized him. After that, a DNA test was carried out that confirmed that he was Paola’s son and this Wednesday the Police finally delivered the baby to his mother, after the doctors released him. (I)
