  • Events: A 12-year-old girl gives birth at her home in Cantabria

The

Social Services of Cantabria

have assumed the guardianship of the baby who gave birth to a 12-year-old girl at home last Sunday,

without her family and environment even knowing that she was pregnant

.

The Cantabrian Institute of Social Services (ICASS) has

declared the abandonment of the newborn

and has assumed its guardianship, while the Prosecutor's Office of the Autonomous Community will monitor the file initiated on the baby and, also, the one that was already initiated on the minor, that he was under the protection of social services, within the framework of the proceedings opened in this case.

The girl gave birth at her home last Sunday, without her relatives and surroundings knowing that she was pregnant.

The delivery proceeded without complications

, with the assistance of health personnel displaced to the house after receiving the notice.

The 061 team later transferred the mother and son to

the Valdecilla Hospital in Santander

, where the minor was discharged while the baby was admitted, although in good condition.

Apparently, the father is also a minor, 17 years old, from the family environment, and everything indicates that the girl would have become

pregnant at the beginning of the confinement

decreed last March by the coronavirus pandemic.

The birth took place on Sunday, December 6 and the Minors' Section of the Cantabria Prosecutor's Office received on Friday, the 11th, in the afternoon a written communication sent by the ICASS in which it reported the facts, as well as the identity of who could be the father of the baby, according to suspicions of this public body.

Based on this information, the Prosecutor's Office began preliminary proceedings and agreed to the practice of statements, which began this Monday morning, the Public Ministry has indicated to Europa Press.

In addition, and on the other hand, the same sources have indicated that

a follow-up will be carried out on the protection file already initiated for the minor

and the one that has just started when the ICASS declares the abandonment of the baby and assumes the guardianship of it.
