Judge Gisela Flamini, in charge of the Investigating Court for Gender Violence and Comprehensive Protection of Minors No. 2 of La Rioja, ordered the removal of the arrest warrant issued for Delfina Silva Zarranzathe mother of the Arcoíris girl, and provided 24 hours for the Council for Children and Adolescents to intervene and reach a solution, reported the family’s lawyer, Elida Barrera.
As indicated, the search warrant No. 9648/2023 on the home of Silva Zarranz was suspended to carry out her arrest, after organizations defending the girl called themselves in front of the home where the Division of Crimes Against Vulnerable Groups of the Police of the City tried to fulfill the request.
The order claimed to effectuate the arrest of Zarranz from his home in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Almagro for “disobedience to authority and impediment of contact of minor children with their non-living parents aggravated in real contest and accumulated file 4239.”
Arcoíris, a fictitious name to preserve her identity, is a 6-year-old girl who reported having been abused by her paternal grandfather, whom she saw after being taken away by her father, despite a judicial ban on him from seeing the granddaughter.
This Wednesday night, Flamini ruled to lift the search warrant against her mother and provide 24 hours for the Council for Boys, Girls and Adolescents to intervene with the aim of finding a favorable solution for the girl.
“His mother underwent all the psychological tests and they gave her good. Not so with grandfather, who refused to do it. This speech that the mother is not well is not like that”The lawyer Barrera assured Télam, who expressed her desire that, with the intervention of the Council, “this conflictive situation be resolved and that the girl can remain with her mother.”
Regarding the girl, he reported that, throughout the past year, “she was going to school” and that “all her achievements would be affected” if the re-linkage with her father is carried out.
Télam confirmed that the defender of the Rights of Children and Adolescents, Marisa Graham, and María Elena Naddeo, the general director of Childhood, Adolescence, Gender and Diversity of the Ombudsman of the City of Buenos Aires are accompanying Zarranz and the rainbow girl.
In a telephone dialogue with this agency, Graham explained that they are focused “on resolving the situation”, that they are “working on it.”
