And obviously, from now on, everything is a question of defense in court. For the lawyers of Christina and Kevin, parents of the child, there is no question of talking about kidnapping. “Monday October 21, Christina left the hospital with her child and it was not until the next day that the prosecutor issued an order for the child’s temporary placement, underlines Maître Romuald Sayagh, Christina’s lawyer. On Monday, when she left with her child under her belt, she still had parental authority, so there was no kidnapping.”
This concept is important, because it would ensure that parents are only charged with deprivation of care to a minor under 15 years of age by an ascendant or person with authority. Which would reduce the sentence from 30 to 7 years in prison. “We will have to determine this deprivation of care and the consequences it had on this child who, I remind you, gained weight during this run, insists Stéphane Gas, lawyer for Santiago’s father Kevin. He was treated, changed, bottle-fed.”
This Monday, the Amsterdam prosecutor will speak with the parents. Enough, no doubt, to already see things more clearly.
