Each parent was sentenced to 2 years and 10 months in prison.<\/p>\n<p>The children - a 10-year-old and 8-year-old twins - were found in 2025 after neighbours noticed that the children had not been out and about for a long time and had not attended school. After police intervention, the children were placed under the care of social services.<\/p>\n<h2>Children's health and development have suffered<\/h2>\n<p>According to local media, the children rescued from isolation had health and developmental problems. Doctors and social protection specialists noted that the prolonged isolation had a negative impact on the children's physical and psychological condition.<\/p>\n<p>The lack of access to education, fresh air and communication with peers led to delays in development and social adaptation. After the rescue, the children received the necessary medical care and support from specialists.<\/p>\n<h2>Injunctive relief and compensation<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to the prison sentence, the court banned the parents from contact with the children. The couple were also ordered to pay compensation for the damage caused to the children.<\/p>\n<p>The court's ruling underscores the importance of protecting children's rights even in difficult circumstances related to the pandemic. The children are currently under the care of social services and are undergoing rehabilitation.<\/p>\n<h2>Why it matters<\/h2>\n<p>This case in Spain once again highlights the need to respect children's rights and parental responsibility, even in times of crisis. Pandemic <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/main-news\/covid-19-cykada-ukrayina-symptomy-karantyn\/\">COVID-19<\/a> has become a challenge for many families, but cannot be an excuse for isolation and neglect of children's needs.<\/p>\n<p>The court's verdict sets an important precedent that should encourage society to be more attentive to child protection. The timely response of neighbours and child welfare authorities helped save three children from further suffering.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0412 \u0406\u0441\u043f\u0430\u043d\u0456\u0457 \u0441\u0443\u0434 \u0432\u0438\u043d\u0456\u0441 \u0432\u0438\u0440\u043e\u043a \u0431\u0430\u0442\u044c\u043a\u0430\u043c, \u044f\u043a\u0456 \u043f\u043e\u043d\u0430\u0434 \u0442\u0440\u0438 \u0440\u043e\u043a\u0438 \u0443\u0442\u0440\u0438\u043c\u0443\u0432\u0430\u043b\u0438 \u0442\u0440\u044c\u043e\u0445 \u0434\u0456\u0442\u0435\u0439 \u0443 \u043f\u043e\u0432\u043d\u0456\u0439 \u0456\u0437\u043e\u043b\u044f\u0446\u0456\u0457 \u0447\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0437 \u0441\u0442\u0440\u0430\u0445 \u043f\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0434 COVID-19. \u041f\u043e\u0434\u0440\u0443\u0436\u0436\u044f \u0437\u0430\u0441\u0443\u0434\u0438\u043b\u0438 \u0434\u043e 2 \u0440\u043e\u043a\u0456\u0432 \u0456 10 \u043c\u0456\u0441\u044f\u0446\u0456\u0432 \u0443\u0432\u2019\u044f\u0437\u043d\u0435\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0437\u0430 \u0436\u043e\u0440\u0441\u0442\u043e\u043a\u0435 \u043f\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0434\u0436\u0435\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0442\u0430 \u043d\u0435\u0445\u0442\u0443\u0432\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0431\u0430\u0442\u044c\u043a\u0456\u0432\u0441\u044c\u043a\u0438\u043c\u0438 \u043e\u0431\u043e\u0432\u2019\u044f\u0437\u043a\u0430\u043c\u0438. \u0411\u0430\u0442\u044c\u043a\u0456\u0432 \u0432 \u0406\u0441\u043f\u0430\u043d\u0456\u0457 \u0437\u0430\u0441\u0443\u0434\u0438\u043b\u0438 \u0437\u0430 \u0456\u0437\u043e\u043b\u044f\u0446\u0456\u044e \u0434\u0456\u0442\u0435\u0439 \u0412 \u0406\u0441\u043f\u0430\u043d\u0456\u0457 \u0441\u0443\u0434 \u0432\u0438\u0437\u043d\u0430\u0432 \u043f\u043e\u0434\u0440\u0443\u0436\u0436\u044f \u0432\u0438\u043d\u043d\u0438\u043c\u0438 \u0443 \u0436\u043e\u0440\u0441\u0442\u043e\u043a\u043e\u043c\u0443 \u043f\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0434\u0436\u0435\u043d\u043d\u0456 \u0437 \u0434\u0456\u0442\u044c\u043c\u0438 \u0442\u0430 [\u2026]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":207433346,"featured_media":19308,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rank_math_description":"\u0412 \u0406\u0441\u043f\u0430\u043d\u0456\u0457 \u0441\u0443\u0434 \u0437\u0430\u0441\u0443\u0434\u0438\u0432 \u043f\u043e\u0434\u0440\u0443\u0436\u0436\u044f \u0434\u043e 2 \u0440\u043e\u043a\u0456\u0432 \u0456 10 \u043c\u0456\u0441\u044f\u0446\u0456\u0432 \u0443\u0432\u2019\u044f\u0437\u043d\u0435\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0437\u0430 \u0456\u0437\u043e\u043b\u044f\u0446\u0456\u044e \u0442\u0440\u044c\u043e\u0445 \u0434\u0456\u0442\u0435\u0439 \u0447\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0437 \u0441\u0442\u0440\u0430\u0445 COVID-19 \u0442\u0430 \u043d\u0435\u0445\u0442\u0443\u0432\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0431\u0430\u0442\u044c\u043a\u0456\u0432\u0441\u044c\u043a\u0438\u043c\u0438 \u043e\u0431\u043e\u0432\u2019\u044f\u0437\u043a\u0430\u043c\u0438.","rank_math_title":"\u0412 \u0406\u0441\u043f\u0430\u043d\u0456\u0457 \u0431\u0430\u0442\u044c\u043a\u0456\u0432 \u0437\u0430\u0441\u0443\u0434\u0438\u043b\u0438 \u0437\u0430 \u0456\u0437\u043e\u043b\u044f\u0446\u0456\u044e \u0434\u0456\u0442\u0435\u0439","rank_math_focus_keyword":"\u0412 \u0406\u0441\u043f\u0430\u043d\u0456\u0457","td_subtitle":"","subtitle":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[805619],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-19309","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-world"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19309","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/207433346"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19309"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19309\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19310,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19309\/revisions\/19310"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19308"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19309"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19309"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19309"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
