In Alicante, the provincial police station alerted the public that a family involved in the case of a child under 16 faced serious accusations. The situation centers on claims that the parents forced the boy to sell drugs. The youth allegedly delivered narcotics to various people at the entrance of the boy’s school and at his home. Buyers paid him, and he passed the money to his father. The minor denies distributing drugs at his school and says he faced serious abuse and threats. He maintains that he did not distribute narcotics. Authorities discovered drugs on the detainees and recovered two firearms, 147 ammunition cartridges, two electric devices, and other belongings.

Last weekend, the two detainees, aged 34 and 36, appeared in court. The Alicante security court ordered the father to serve time and granted a temporary order restricting the minor, while temporarily revoking parental authority from both parents, and also withholding custody of the couple’s other minor child of six years. The two younger children were placed under the care of a relative.

The minor himself revealed the details in court the previous week. Speaking at the Alicante National Police Provincial Station, he said the family had compelled him to traffic drugs, mainly cannabis, over several years. He described receiving drug packages from his parents to distribute to people at the school entrance, and at the building doorway, as well as in some homes they sent him to operate.

To corroborate the claim, law enforcement noted that the minor showed agents 19 grams of opium poppy and other substances the family allegedly used to provide him with what to pass along that day, in addition to materials from earlier days that he offered as proof.

Items seized following the arrest of parents in Alicante. INFORMATION

Specialist officers from the Junior Group Family and Women Unit (UFAM) took charge of the case. They followed protocols to protect minors and searched the family home, suspecting it could contain drugs for sale. Early that morning, officers found both parents at home and arrested them as the events unfolded.

During the search, authorities recovered 1.5 kilograms of marijuana in bud form, 113 grams of marijuana, several boxes of pills, and anabolic substances used in drug trafficking. They also seized multiple mobile phones and two counterfeit 500 euro notes. A substantial cache of ammunition and two ready-to-use tasers, one for 22 mm and another for 9 mm calibers, were taken into custody.

Hours later, investigators located a modified butane cylinder that hid weapons, including a 9 mm pistol with a erased serial number, two chargers, and another 22 mm pistol, along with 40 rounds of 9 mm ammunition. The cylinder was found at a relative’s home, where the youngest child had accompanied the parents to the police station and indicated that something was hidden inside.

More than 240 kilometers per hour

Separately, the minor provided accounts of reckless driving incidents involving a newly purchased vehicle owned by his father, describing speeds exceeding 240 kilometers per hour on a small vessel.

Authorities confirmed a restraining order had also been requested, and the order was extended to the minor’s brother, as the young person fears retaliation from his parents.
