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.
