The rescue of a four-month-old baby who was sold by her parents for Bs 2,000, revealed the drama that the little girl went through with her mother, a 17-year-old teenager.
It is known that the girl’s mother decided to continue her pregnancy despite the fact that her partner, a 23-year-old man identified as Faustino Colque Mollo, He induced her to have an abortion. As the months passed, the teenager gave birth to her premature daughter, when she was eight months pregnant, and four months later the girl’s father, using social networks, put the girl up for sale for Bs 4,800 .
he saidRector of the Special Force to Fight Crime (Felcc), Colonel Julio Cesar Cossío, indicated that they received the complaint thanks to a neighbor who reported the illegal sale of the baby.
“Us we constitute in the home of the mother of the family and she herself states that her concubine induced her, in the first instance, to have an abortion, toIn the face of her refusal, an infant is born prematurely at eight months and there again the concubine harasses and urges the mother to get rid of the baby to sell her”, explained Cossío.

Once the investigations were started, the father’s whereabouts were found in the La Ramada area and his arrest was made. In his statement, the man stated that he sold his daughter for Bs 2,000 to a couple, for which the investigating agents reached the Los Lotes area and recovered the baby.
The husbands who bought the baby were identified as Carmen CC, and Germán TD, who paid Bs 2,000, but the couple resisted the return, previously demanding a payment of Bs 5,000, for the expenses they supposedly made in the purchase of milk, diapers and clothes.
The Ombudsman for Children and Adolescents took charge of the mother for being a minor and also followed up on the four-month-old baby. The girl was admitted to the Mario Ortiz Children’s Hospital, since he presented a picture of malnutrition.
On the other hand, the sergeant major of the Bolivian Police, Delicia Dávila Calucho, whoWho was assigned to rescue the baby, was moved by the crying of the girl and ended up breastfeeding her. “It was an inexplicable day because there are two phases, one is police work and the other, mother’s work. I am a new mother of a baby and see a girl who cries, and that He cries out for food, I immediately gave him milk to survive at that moment,” Dávila said.
The police recall that at the time of the intervention they consulted the woman who bought the girl if they had fed her, but they told her that at 2:00 p.m. was the last time they had given her milk. “The bebita really needed exclusive breastfeeding,” she said.
The prosecutor of the unit specializing in trafficking and human trafficking crimes, Daniel Lobo, indicated that the father of the minor and the couple who bought the girl will be investigated for the crime of human trafficking for the purpose of illegal sale or adoption.
Once the formal accusation has been presented, they wait for the jurisdictional authority to indicate the day and time of the precautionary hearing, the same one that they anticipate will take place on Wednesday.
