Psychologists José Antonio Luengo and Diana Sánchez point out that everything they know about this case is from the news. The abuse maintained over time causes "learned helplessness", in which the person learns not to defend himself.
The eight brothers of Colmenar Viejo will have to follow a psychological therapy "long and continuous to be able to counteract the effects" of what they experienced, says SánChez. The parents, the 45-year-old doctor and she 44, are free under precautionary measures, according to sources.
