“I don’t know where he has been since September 5.” Her name is Virginia and she is miserable. He needs to breathe, he can’t take it anymore. He has been searching for his daughter for about 3 months. Carmen Ainara, 17 years old. No news, no calls, no contact. Without leaving a trace. He left the child protection center where he was admitted in Alhaurín De la Torre (Malaga) in a semi-open regime and has not been there since. He did not return.
The same day, alarms went off. “I went to the Security Guard to report this,” said Virginia, standing next to CASO ABIERTO, Prensa Ibérica’s events and investigation portal. “There were four or five clues,” she reconstructs. They all had a common pattern: “They pointed out that my daughter was with adults, older men.” they talk about An all-expenses-paid apartment in Marbella and a flight to Paris. His mind doesn’t stop. “I don’t know anything anymore. Maybe she didn’t leave Spain, maybe they took her out of the country… What I know for sure is that my daughter escaped from the center where she was located. She reported that they raped her, said that she was on the border, and received threats…”the woman accuses.
Ainara has not contacted her family since her separation. “Strange, isn’t it?” Her photo is circulating on social networks, “I don’t want you to come back to me, even if it’s just to say stop calling me mom.” Days pass, no news. “You’re already panicking…” Being in the center reduces her mother’s performance. “They told me I couldn’t have knowledge and Nobody does anything, saying it’s a voluntary march… And I’m afraid, my daughter is underage.”
“Ainara is not there”
“I remember it was one o’clock in the morning and I was running to the Civil Guard.” The alarm went off on the same day, the 5th: “My eldest daughter is the one who discovered that Ainara had not returned to the headquarters in Alhaurín.” It’s been set up this way for two months, “no one notified us.”
Virginia describes the first moments in the barracks. “Since I was in a center, they called there. They told the agents to give 10 minutes to check whether I was informed or not. They didn’t answer me during previous calls, but when they saw the Civil Guard’s number, they took me, yes.“. The agreed minutes passed and no one responded. “The Civil Guard finally received my complaint.” The investigation began.
Carmen Ainara Fernández is 17 years old. Minor, doubly vulnerable, taking medication. There is long hair, blonde highlights, a septum (slope in the nostril). She is wearing a loose, short-sleeved black T-shirt and shorts. She escaped from the center around 22.45. He has scars on one wrist from self-harm. The first clues came: a bay, a restaurant, an apartment in Marbella. The scene they drew for Virginia left little doubt: “Since they were allowed to leave the center (semi-open regime), they met some guys in Marbella. They had money, they gave them an apartment… and my daughter wanted to leave the center, They cheated, I tell you.” ”
“Ainara applied to a center because she was bullied and stopped going to school”
Everything was later settled after the complaint was made. Virginia contacted Ainara’s circle. He was shocked. “That was when I discovered everything my daughter was going through. When I found out that Ainara was trying to talk to the director because A classmate abused him. “He reported in a letter that he was raped by this girl,” he explains, “nobody protected him.”
Near fatal beating
Ainara entered her first child protection center at the age of eleven and a half. “My daughter was bullied and stopped going to school.” Over time, the condition worsened, “he began to smoke in the joints to relieve the pain.” She entered the first center thinking that she would return home soon. More was to come. He has been making pilgrimages to different conservation centers for six years. “This is the last one because another classmate beat her to death the previous time. My daughter came to the hospital with bruises on her head and seizures,” says her mother. “Ainara has been suffering for years, staying silent, enduring a lot of pain. She didn’t tell us anything so as not to hurt us.” Virginia adds: “She didn’t respond to the attacks because she didn’t want to be punished. She didn’t defend herself… Even at 14, He attempted suicide. They came for minutes, he had a very deep wound on his wrist. “I just wanted to take it back legally and we were ready.”
Virgina stops again in the center of Alhaurín, her last. Draw a terrified, vulnerable Ainara, “He slept on the couch every night because he wasn’t in the same room as his attacker, a no-good girl.. Shortly before leaving he warned the trainers: ‘Please I’m on the edge, I’ll shoot myself or I’ll leave. And so he did…” He went away.
“The versions are getting contradictory,” Virginia laments. “First the center said this” reported his disappearance, then talked about the volunteer march. They say my daughter grabbed a backpack and said goodbye.” The family tried to be part of the search on their own, finding clues, in parallel with the police investigation. “The agents basically told me that the kids ran away from the center. every day and that’s it.”
The first opinions have arrived. It was in Ainara, Mijas, Malaga, Marbella. They all agreed on one fact: “She was accompanied by at least one old man.” They talked about another young woman with him, older, who had “surgery.” A quote from her daughter came to Virginia’s mind: “There are girls who have surgery after leaving the center, they work as prostitutes and earn a lot of money.” Virginia remembers stopping him at that moment. “No girl, no…” They were not her friends, Ainara stopped. He calmed down.
“I don’t want to go back”
In the first days, messages followed each other. “They saw him in a bay, in a restaurant…”. A buzzer then warned that they were taking him out of Spain. “They talked about a flight to Paris.” They never said anything to him again. “I have no idea, I don’t know where they could keep him. He was in bad shape and if they gave him the wrong solution…that’s it.”
From a newly created account on Instagram, they said that the young woman left at her own request: “I don’t want to go back”. The way his mother communicates is very pleasing: “It’s very clear, he didn’t call: ‘Mom, don’t call me anymore. I’m fed up…’ A voice he hears. , a video where he sees her. ‘Mom, I’m fine, I won’t come back.’ If he’s okay and left of his own free will, he’ll contact me. Even if it’s just to tell me about leaving him. “My fear is that they will detain him, drug him, coerce him and act against his will.”.
Three months passed and Ainara did not contact anyone. Her mother is fighting against the elements. “The police said they wouldn’t give me any more information.” She feels like no one is looking. Her rights as a mother were taken away, but not her love. “I will continue to search for my daughter until my last breath. Please share your photo. Let’s go for three months…” he begs, “let no one forget, Ainara is a minor.”
