  • Testimony "They drugged and sexually abused my daughter when she was a supervised child"
  • Mallorca.The Consell admits 16 cases of child sexual exploitation among internal children in its centers in Palma

The Balearic Children's Prosecutor's Office will begin this week the interrogations of the young people denounced for sexually assaulting a thirteen-year-old girl last Christmas Eve in the Palmesan neighborhood of Korea.

According to the complaint of the child, four boys - all of them between the ages of 13 and 17 - forced him that morning to have complete sexual intercourse separately , and several of them also forced him to practice oral group sex. In fact, according to his version, he would also have been slapped when he refused to continue with these practices, which lasted for hours.

The young woman who allegedly intimidated and pressured the victim should also be interrogated by the Prosecutor until she could agree to the young people's requests.

The fact that both the attacked girl and the accused were under the guardianship of the Consell de Mallorca would force the institution to recognize, days later, that there are up to 16 cases of sexual exploitation among minors under their guardianship, although it has not been wanted never detail if they had fallen into that situation before the Imas took care of them, or once they were already dependent on the administration.

The figure contributed by the Consell would be, according to all the sources consulted during the last weeks, clearly inferior to the sordid reality in which these minors seem to live, generalized victims of exploitation, or at least, of sexual abuse.

The crude testimonies that have been known since the scandal broke out do not match the numbers in its annual report, at least since 2015, the Mallorquin Institute of Social Affairs. Thus, in that year only a single case of a minor victim of sexual exploitation is recognized, a figure that would increase to three cases as of 2016, to keep the following exercises there.

The leftist parties that govern both the Consell de Mallorca and the Balearic Government have already thrown out that there will be cessations due to a situation that has been known from the inside for at least a decade. Instead, they have launched the so-called Child Sexual Exploitation Commission, which last Wednesday proposed, among other things, to treat teenagers' leaks from the centers where they reside as "high-risk" situations .

In fact, this same week the disappearance of a supervised minor has been made public, which was last seen four months ago, and which according to the National Police investigation could have escaped from the child protective entity in which he resided .

The mismanagement of the Consell de Mallorca and the lack of protection in which they seem to have left the young people they had to take care of has caused the Ombudsman to be interested in the issue, to try to clarify what has failed in the guardianship service.

It will also try to debug responsibilities at the political level, with the launch in the Consell of a commission of inquiry that has been requested by all opposition parties, and that arrives after up to twice, the parties that form the Pacte, but also the Popular Party, will refuse to support two initiatives to audit the situation in the Imas. Tomorrow, in addition, the Minister of Social Affairs, Fina Santiago , appears in the Parliament .
