«The conduct of Mrs. Rivas is seriously detrimental because she repeats herself in denouncing ill-treatment, the total denial that such complaints cause suffering to her children and the inability to leave the role of victim of violence, which prevents the effects that her acts have towards their children ».

The Italian sociopsicopedagógicos services consider the mother of Granada as the cause of the psychological problems of her children because of her constant complaints to the father, Francesco Arcuri . Now that the end of his summer is approaching with the children, which he must return to the father on the 14th, the last complaint made last week referred to two alleged episodes of May 14 and June 6 last. Precisely on May 13, Juana took the children to a doctor in Carloforte (Italy) to report abuse by Arcuri. And in his last complaint, he said that, “worried about the symptoms presented by her children, she went to the health center in Maracena (Granada) on June 19, where she lives, where they were treated and referred to the Mental Health unit . The situation of vulnerability and risk to the physical and psychological integrity of minors has been reflected in the report issued by the coordinating psychologist of the Community Mental Health Unit of Atarfe ».

The parts of the children of that May 13, to which EL MUNDO has had access, speak of "suspicions of abuse" in the "diagnosis of admission" section. But the subsequent report issued by the socio-educational services of Carloforte insists that there are no indications of abuse of the father to children nor have there been the other eight times that Juana has denounced them.

Before the possible file of his last complaint, which was confirmed on Saturday, Rivas chose another way for his children not to return to Italy, which is the "open letter" he signed last Friday, in which he asks "the powers public »that their children remain in the custody of anyone, less than their parent.

She says that the children "tell him that his father beats them physically, spits them in the face, threatens them with death, insults them with voices that can't stand anymore, the little one throws him against the furniture and the wall telling him 'this is for your mother'".

Juana says that her eldest son "wakes up at night screaming and tells me that he is afraid to stop breathing and die at the hands of his father, that this time he cuts off his fingers as he has already threatened." Of the little one, he says that he says: «Mom, when I die, when they take me with you, then you revive me».

Precisely to those reports of Carloforte of the "suspicions of abuse" Rivas refers to request in his letter the urgency of the institutions to listen to him and stay with the children. However, nothing is further from what the Italian socio-pedagogical teams think. In the report sent to the Cagliari Juvenile Prosecutor's Office before children came to Spain, the specialists, apart from considering it "harmful" to their children for their repeated complaints, say that "such behavior continues to undermine the serenity of minors and generates difficulty in affective behavior and trust with the father ».

"Psychological discomfort"

They add that "Mrs.'s complaints about her father's child abuse have never been confirmed." They also ensure that the eldest son "manifests an important psychological fragility, so he is receiving individual psychotherapy", while the little one already "shows signs of a behavior that deserves to be carefully monitored because it may be the beginning of manifesting a psychological malaise."

They say that "it is necessary, for greater protection of minors, that visits between the mother and children take place in a protected manner and that the mother responds to the request to initiate psychotherapy."

That report was issued shortly before the children came to Spain to spend the summer with Juana, since the father has custody. The document already highlighted the "need to take urgent measures to avoid the repetition of the aforementioned behavior and the consequent increase in children's discomfort" during their vacations. The doctors think that Juana instrumentalizes her children and manipulates them psychologically to say that her father hits them, when this is never demonstrated. They ensure that educators, social workers and doctors constantly monitor children and have never confirmed such abuse.

They also say that such a complaint is "causing Mr. Arcuri an enormous difficulty in the relationship with his children", because he always fears the risk that any word or act can be used against him, so he has reached the point of "feeling the need »to record conversations with your children.

That makes recordings in which children say that it is Juana who tells them that they have to declare that their father hits them. In her "open letter", it is she who ensures that those recordings "are manipulated" and bound by the father. Rivas says that the father's house "is a place of torture" for his children, and that is why he renounces them so that "the public powers protect them." Arcuri's lawyer, Enrique Zambrano , said last week that he only expects the mother to deliver her children on the set date.
