  • A judge sent the director and four workers of a juvenile center to prison over accusations of torture and crimes against the integrity of several teenagers.
  • The arrested individuals have denied the accusations and are presumed innocent, but the judge has granted full credibility to the complaints.
  • The center's director had previously ignored abuse complaints, and the privately owned center had an agreement with the Government of Aragón to host 20 minors.
  • The Autonomous Executive must thoroughly review what happened and analyze if such serious events could have been avoided.
  • Administrations cannot absolve their responsibilities due to the private management of many of these centers.

Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of ensuring the safety and dignity of vulnerable minors, while emphasizing the responsibility of guardianship centers and public administrations.
