Found in good condition, they find a missing three-year-old girl in Calella after an unknown man picked her up from school
"I took that girl,
who was not mine
, and I feel I have to apologize."
Juan Manuel's words summarize what happened this Thursday afternoon in a town about 50 kilometers from Barcelona, in Calella.
This father
mistakenly picked up
a three-year-old girl from a nursery thinking she was his daughter.
Both girls share resemblance and name (Amelia), characteristics that led the man to be
confused
.
Juan Manuel has been two years, according to
Telecinco
, without seeing his daughter
due to legal problems
.
He went to school considering that he had a clear path, he picked up who seemed to be his Amelia and took her to Tordera, a nearby municipality, to spend a pleasant father-daughter afternoon.
The problem, however, was evident: they gave him a minor with the same name, similar, and between masks and speed he believed that everything was correct:
"I took the baby and left
.
"
The little girl had disappeared in the eyes of everyone.
It turns out that she was with a man who was not her father and in a house that was not her own.
Upon arrival, as explained by Juan Manuel, the girl said with surprise:
"Dad, the house is very changed, eh?"
.
Only there, he assured, they played and took "the snack".
Apparently, Juan Manuel went to the nursery and no one checked the last names of both girls at the end of the day and at the time of deliveries.
This father was given a small one with the same name and without any verification measure other than the resemblance.
The Mossos are now investigating whether Juan Manuel, who has taken a girl who is not his, has done
so intentionally
or it has been a
mistake
.
He claims otherwise.
