Madrid, 10 mar (EFE).-“I believe in justice, but I want justice to be done with my daughter,” said EfE the mother of a girl who, with only 6 months, suffered irreversible injuries – blind and in a wheelchair for life – by abuse of his carer who, after being sentenced to 9 years in prison, it has escaped.
The case of this girl gained notoriety last November, when the Provincial Court of Madrid tried to Clara Erika A.A., accused of mistreating her while he had resigned in a “patera nursery”-i.e. without a license to exercise this activity – located in a flat in the calle Clara Campoamor in the Madrid district of Carabanchel.
A month after the hearing, Clara Erika
was found guilty of a crime of serious injury with the aggravating circumstance of treachery and sentenced to 9 years in prison and to pay 800,000 euros in compensation, but “the system has failed”, since when it was reported the sentence the women already had given flight, says EfE the lawyer of the family of the victimAntonio Serrano.
Counsel explains that the convicted, of Ecuadorian nationality, is missing and that, moreover, few assets that has are seized, so although he believes have done “all they legally had to be done”, if the authorities are not not pay for what he has done.
The mother of the minor, Celida, Bolivian and arrived at Spain in 2002 looking for a better life, cannot contain the tears to remind you that on March 1, 2010 he confided in a well-known who knew that looked after children for hours to be able to search a job as a cleaner because he was unemployed.
Left his baby in a perfect state of health, as casually a few hours before he had brought to a routine medical examination – end confirmed in the trial by the optional that attended – but a few hours Clara Erika called her to tell her that little had suddenly fainted.
Mother had to go directly to the Doce de Octubre hospital, where the girl was on the verge of death for several days by severe cráneoencefálico trauma and retinal detachments.
Although the accused was arrested shortly afterwards and spent fourteen days in custody, on March 19 the judge decreed his bail pending trial because small had survived, although with a 70 percent disability.
During the hearing at the Madrid hearing, Clara Erika denied having beaten or dropped to the ground to the girl and only recognized her had buffeted “so that you react”.
“Has never been in touch to know how was the girl”, said Celida, reminiscent of that at trial the woman confined itself to say that “it was about what I spent” and says that she and her husband remain today in psychological treatment to overcome the reality of his daughter: “you can not walk, not going to see and may have mental retardation”.
“Sometimes I can not believe yet”, recognizes the mother with breathy voice.
His lawyer maintains that “is responsible for direct,” Erika of the State of the child, now two and a half years of age, clear but instead is “free” and “he has not paid a single euro”.
Small and parents will need of lifetime “economic aid” to bring it forward and to combine a job with care, so Serrano insists on asking that judicial and social authorities and Government “involved” with the case.
“Supposed that the police are looking for since January – when the third section of the Court of Madrid agreed to membership in prison and fought the appropriate orders to the security forces — but we have suspicions that may be in your country” despite his passport having retired, counsel highlights.
“The only thing we ask is that the competent authorities should seek,” insist once more the lawyer and the mother of the small.
