The Center for Social Affairs issued Thursday a statement regarding the case of children locked in a car in the settlement of Lisice. The Center reported that the children were temporarily taken away from their parents and placed in a foster family. Documents and official results of the police and BPPO investigation are pending for further action.

The Center reported that they had been informed of the children’s case as early as yesterday, but are acting today because they were waiting for detailed medical examinations. The parents were not registered as problematic, but the owner of the vehicle (the father) was sought through the church’s public address system to help the children get out of the vehicle, but after there was no response, eyewitnesses approached to help, smashed the windows of the black “Alfa Romeo” vehicle.
