The alleged author of the kidnapping of the newborn in the Basurto hospital in Bilbao

has acknowledged the facts before the judge and has asked to be admitted to a psychiatric center

, according to what her lawyer told the media as she left the courts.

The defendant,

24, has been brought to justice

this morning after spending two days in police facilities.

According to her lawyer, the woman has acknowledged the facts in her statement before the judge and has indicated that both she and her family

wanted voluntary admission

to a psychiatric center.

They are now awaiting the court decision.

The woman

was arrested on Thursday

, hours after the baby was abducted, and has remained since then in police facilities until she was brought before the judge this morning.

Little Aimar has been at home since yesterday after being discharged from the hospital, where he was taken from his parents on Wednesday night by the 24-year-old girl who

pretended to be a health worker at the center.

On Thursday morning, the alleged perpetrator of the kidnapping

left the baby on the doormat of a flat

in the Santutxu neighborhood, where the child was found in good condition.
