Mexico City, Mexico.-Analía Leyanet Carmona Pérez, 12 years old, who lives in La Palma, in Arroyo Naranjo, in Havana, is absent from her home. The little girl she escaped on February 19 and since then her parents and the police have been searching for her.
This March 3, the teenager was seen at a bus stop and a person who recognized her took photos of her and warned others that it was the lost girl; but no one acted to keep her safe.
His mother, after receiving the alert, wrote on his Facebook wall: “You can see in the photo that there was a policeman and he did nothing. Where are we going to stop? There is no humanity. Every time they tell me they saw her, I run there like crazy, but I’m always late because she’s not there, she already left. Those same people who see her please grab her hold her.
This time the minor was caught wearing shorts and a T-shirt with a light background and Mickey Mouse prints, a different outfit from the one she wore when she left home. Which indicates that she had access to a place to change and clothes.
Her mother, Osmarailys Pérez, told CubaNet that on other occasions she had been found in very poor condition without washing, eating or changing her clothes for days. She also reported that adults have abused her when she runs away from her.
In these almost two weeks that she has been away from her home, the girl was seen on February 25 in a cafeteria in Santos Suárez, by Vía Blanca; and on February 26, at 2 pm, she was seen in San Francisco and Cotorro.
This is not the first time that Analía, with a mild intellectual disability, has left her home.
Given the repeated escapes, the YoSíTeCreo platform in Cuba insists that “the first objective of this alert is to find Analía, but we cannot fail to call on the relevant institutions to investigate and eliminate the causes of the repeated disappearances of this girl. , of which at least four have been reported on social networks in recent years.”
Regarding these remarks, her mother wrote on networks: “I don’t care how many times I have to publish it, I will do it because it is my daughter. She is everything for me. Everything that happens to her is my pain. I say it for those people who speak without knowing and comment on why she is so lost. She is RM (mentally retarded) and she likes to leave home. As her mother that I am, I have taken the necessary measures but they have not been enough and she is leaving, ”explained Pérez.
Please don’t speak without knowing. I am desperate and every day that passes I don’t know if she is alive or dead. They don’t know what it’s like to live like this,” she added.
The family asked anyone with any information on his whereabouts to contact these numbers: 51004624, 56690245, 58243576, 7610210.
In general, it is recommended to publish missing person alerts as soon as possible (within 24 hours) as there is a better chance that they will be found safe. The Cuban state does not implement any mechanism to make visible the cases of disappeared persons, not even if they are children, as the amber alert used in many countries. That is why citizens go to social networks looking for help, although it is not always successful.
Given the lack of a system in the country like the Amber Alert in others, the journalist and activist Marta María Ramírez launched a proposal.
With the consent of the families involved, Ramírez created two citizen alerts: #Yeniset Alert for disappearances of women and #Mayde Alert for disappearances of children on the island.
#AlertaMayde is inspired by Madeleysis Rosales Rodríguez, a Cuban teenager who disappeared in Havana on May 30, 2021. At the time, she was 16 years old and was studying to be a Chemistry teacher. Next May 30 marks the 2-year anniversary of her disappearance. There is no news about her whereabouts. Her mother has systematically denounced the bad work of the authorities during the investigation and how they have harassed her so that she does not report.
