The Minister of Justice and Institutional Transparency, Iván Lima Magne, said that public servants who omitted responsibilities will be sanctioned of protection in the case of the boy from Yapacaní, which caused his health to worsen until he lost his life.
“In this case we have the same concern that the country has and there is a clear mandate from the president (Luis Arce). What is striking is that on April 21 of this year, that case had been rejected, there is a prosecutor who is going to have to give an account to justice, that it had decided that in the case the authors had not been individualized and the case was being closed”, indicated the authority.
Due to lack of psychological assistance the minor did not reveal the identity of his aggressors; It was only in April of this year that the boy, shortly before failing again, revealed to his older brother that his neighbors had harassed him repeatedly; then the case was retried and two of the defendants were sent to jail.

“What has happened is unacceptable. that a child has to suffer at least since October of last year until he dies, without the doctors having raised the alert, the Ombudsman for Children and the institutions that have to take care of our children, is something very serious. The attention that this priority sector should have has not been activated in a timely manner”, she observed.
