The six-year-old child from Gorj who was allegedly sold in Germany was saved by the Romanian authorities. The boy will be brought to the country today, after a secretary of state personally went there to resolve the situation.
In order to bring the six-year-old child to Romania, a psychologist from DGASPC Gorj has already traveled to Munich to take the little one and accompany him back to the country.
The president of the National Authority for the Protection of Children’s Rights and Adoption also went to Munich to repatriate the child and to resolve this case with the representatives of the diplomatic mission and the German authorities.
The case of the six-year-old child came to the attention of the Adoption Authority when the authorities in Germany were notified, who requested the Minister of Justice regarding the situation of a Romanian minor, after finding that he was in the care of a foreign citizen.
More precisely, the German citizen wanted to enroll the boy in school, at which point it was determined that the adoption papers were missing.
In the country, the DIICOT prosecutors are conducting an investigation, and the other two brothers of the child, a boy aged two and a half years and an eight-year-old girl, were taken over by DGASPC Gorj.
“Colleagues from DGASCP Gorj have arrived in Germany. At the moment, the child has been taken over by the Romanian authorities. He is on his way to the Consulate General in Munich to finalize the last documents for the trip to the country and during this night he will arrive home in Romania.
I visited the brothers of the six-year-old child who are in the care of the Gorj social assistance and child protection system. With the arrival of the younger brother in the country, DGASPC tries to somehow put them together, to live. They will remain in the care of the state until the finalization of the process,” said Natalia Intotero, Minister of the Family.
