The father of one of the minors of Badajoz crime blames the system: “It should be blocked for a long time”

The murder of Belén Cortés, a social educator in Badajoz by the hand – presumably – of three children under 14.15 and 17 years old opened the debate on minor reintegration who have committed serious crimes, in addition to the conditions in which the social workers are forced to work, even more so that the victim has presented previous threat complaints.

Two of the minors arrested, aged 14 and 15, have a Wide story of threats, attacks, robberies and meetings with the police. One of them came to commit 37 crimes on one weekend and the other, 14, attacked his father several times and ended up breaking his nose.

Antonio Granero is the father of one of the alleged assassins of Bethlehem and in An interview in “The World” He reported hell who has gone through the last few years for the direction in which he took his son’s life.

Granero is a well -known television cook at Extremadura. For several years he guided Gastronomic programs On regional television, with a great success of the public.

Far from its public facet, her personal life has been marked by the tragedy. “My son has become a victim since he was born,” he begins saying.

Run your child’s criminal history system

The father blames the administration of his son’s future. According to him, the (bad) decisions that made public administrations since his son was very young, They truncated their futurecondemning a life linked to crime.

It all starts with the separation of the mother of her children. Different complaints for sexist violence and the alleged additions of his ex -wife, marked A very complicated divorce This hit the children. “Apart from the elderly (I 15), I have two more, smaller ones, who are underlined. They are the ones that concern me the most because the crudeness of the company is suffering this week, when they have done nothing, they have nothing to do with this”, confesses the father.

At the start, The mother remained with the custody of the children. Until six years ago, when the father went on. Critical grain that justice forces him to pay “a lot of money” every month (between 1,800 and 2,000 euros). A money, which according to him he did not spend for food for the three children, “but for other things”.

The father regretted that this was the beginning of the end for his son. “The government, instead of putting measures to stop this problem, increases it e Put money to a person who consumes so that children have the close possibility of falling into this problem. So, if he consumed 10, now with that money they gave him, he becomes 100 “, criticism.

Antonio says he knows who the people who made those administrative decisions are in every vital phase of his son, “those who have moved him from one place to another” and says he will indicate the culprits before a “debt” judge.

“Irreversible” behavior

When Antonio gets the custody of his children, after his mother has been accused of mistreatment, a real ordeal begins for him. The unstable behavior of his son was already irreversible and any attempt to redirect him was in vain.

“My son did not go to school at that moment, his mother ignored, he lost whole courses and in one year he could silently lose 700 hours of assistance in the classroom, and this was known by everyone, he is registered, the administration knew, the teachers, the directors, the directors knew it … the directors … the directors … the administrators … But nobody did anythingYear after year, except, I have to say, the school of San José de Villafranca, who helped, and who want to clarify it “, explains the father in” the world “.

The criminal acts of the minor led him to floors and centers of minors. They sent Badajoz and Méridawhere they tried their educational reintegration, but without continuity. The child had no stability.

“That’s why I repeat is a long process over time, that some managers mark the rules and that has no explanations because they increase the problem,” reiterates a barn.

This spiral of violence, resentment and uprooting ends up in the tragedy: “The enormous damage that has been done, the death of the educator, Which can no longer be repairedBut to see if you need so that it does not repeat again, “says the father.
