Overview

  • The three siblings, aged 8 to 10, were rescued from a rural Oviedo chalet on April 28 after years of confinement in unsanitary conditions.
  • Asturias' social services confirmed the children are in perfect physical health, with no diagnosed medical issues despite their prolonged isolation.
  • Authorities are prioritizing the children’s emotional stability in their new environment before conducting in-depth psychological evaluations.
  • Efforts to locate eligible relatives for long-term care have so far been unsuccessful, with no family members coming forward to claim the children.
  • The parents, a 53-year-old German man and a 48-year-old American woman, remain in no-bail pretrial detention on charges of psychological abuse and child abandonment, with potential additional charges pending.
