Madrid Municipal Police arrested the children’s parents a 5 year old boy for hitting and assaulting her, even though for the mother this was not abuse but just “correction” as done in her country, Ecuador.
Police intervention took place at 12 noon last Monday. Teacher Representatives of the Retiro district received a call from a teacher. Our Lady of the Almudena School, located at number 48 López de Rueda street. The teacher found a student who, he admitted, had injuries to his own parents.
When the police arrived, the little boy confirmed the situation. His father hit his body with his hand, and his mother hit his ass with the belt he wore. For this reason, they called the two to the center where they talked separately.
The father denied the facts, but his wife admitted that he frequently used violence against his son for “education” purposes, “unlike what is done in Spain.” “I don’t abuse it, I correct it with a belt, just like in my country.”He said the 29-year-old woman, originally from Ecuador, was just like her husband.
Both were arrested and charged crime of child abuse. However, because the woman had a small baby that she had to breastfeed, she was examined at her home in the Retiro district.
