Overview

• A neighbor’s late-Saturday report of unsupervised children at a Concordia home prompted Comisaría de Minoridad officers to discover four siblings aged 1–6 living in unsanitary conditions with limited clothing and hygiene.
• Prosecutor Martín Núñez immediately directed the Provincial Child Welfare Agency (COPNAF) to intervene, and records show the family had prior welfare interventions.
• Officers provided emergency care at the police station, including bathing, clothing and food, before transferring the children to Hospital Masvernat for pediatric evaluation.
• By judicial order, COPNAF placed the four children in a protective home and opened a case for presumed abandonment and child maltreatment.
• Authorities are reviewing the mother’s declaration that she left the home for health reasons as the investigation continues to determine long-term custody arrangements.
