The SOS Desaparecidos network activated an alert concerning the disappearance of a two-year-old girl in the municipality of Guimar, Tenerife. The child, about 0.90 meters tall, with blonde hair and brown eyes, was reported missing on the 16th of July. Investigators with the Civil Guard have noted traces suggesting the girl may have traveled with her mother to Barcelona and then to parts of Switzerland, as part of the ongoing inquiry.

The Desaparecidos organization later disseminated the alert through its channels. Local judicial authorities in Guímar issued a directive related to the case. A European arrest warrant was issued for the child’s mother, and the minor’s parental authority was temporarily withdrawn from the mother so that the father could assume custody under a court order. The measures were taken to ensure the child’s safety and proper care while the investigation continues and legal arrangements are clarified.

According to court records and reports available to judicial authorities, the mother did not return to Tenerife by the assigned deadline. Forensic sources have corroborated the timelines associated with the two judicial notices that led to these actions, which were formally transmitted to the Court to support the ongoing proceedings involving the child and her father.

Public reporting from a major newspaper and a member of the Prensa Ibérica media group confirmed that the European arrest warrant had been issued and that the case has been under formal review by Spanish judicial authorities. Officials have also stated that investigators are actively compiling statements and evidence to clarify the situation and to determine the next steps for locating the child and ensuring her welfare.

Additionally, the magistrate ordered that the child’s custody be suspended as a precautionary measure and that alternated care arrangements be arranged through the Family Meeting Point in Tenerife. The objective of these procedures is to protect the child while the legal processes unfold and to facilitate a safe transition back to a known caregiver, if and when appropriate.
