According to local media such as El Espanyol, police in Oviedo, Asturias, Spain, recently searched a house after a resident reported that the children had disappeared.
The house was piled up with all kinds of filth with a nose-poking odor.
Inside, there were a total of three children, 8-year-old twin sons and 10-year-old sons, along with parents aged 53 and 43.
The children's health was not bad, but they seemed weak and lethargic.
The parents stated that they had been in quarantine since 2021 to avoid contracting the coronavirus. The children did not go to school and the couple avoided going out. In addition, curtains were always closed to cover the house, and outsiders were never allowed to enter the house. Children were even restricted from entering the bathroom due to concerns that the virus could enter through a ventilator. As a result, the children had to use diapers to defecate.
However, only my husband could go out to the front door to bring in the delivered groceries and household items.
The residents of the neighborhood were not able to see them go out and reported them because they were suspicious of continuing to order diapers even though their children grew up.
The couple denied allegations of child abuse, saying they thought it would be better to quarantine than to vaccinate their children against unverified COVID-19.
The police arrested the couple and are investigating, and the children were sent to a shelter for examination and treatment.
