For several months, the mother imprisoned her underage daughters, not even allowing them to attend school.
A forty-year-old woman from Volos, tells gegonotanews, took her daughters for Christmas, guardianship over which was awarded in 2015 to her ex-husband – she herself was declared legally incompetent by the court. The girls lived with their father in Rhodes.
After the holidays, the woman decided not to return the children and kept them near her for nine months, not allowing them to attend school – she was afraid that her daughters would return to her father. She held them illegally from January 7, 2019 to September 2019. Ultimately, the girls and their father organized an escape from their mother’s house.
On Tuesday, March 28, the Volos Court of First Instance sentenced a woman to ten months in prison, suspended for three years, for kidnapping minors. She appeared in court without a lawyer and argued that her girls should not have communicated with their father, because they were ill and stood up for themselves. She forbade them to communicate with him and held them “hostage”, otherwise they will find a way to communicate with their father and run away from home to Rhodes.
“They returned to their father without my knowledge,” she told the court and admitted that today she communicates with them only through social networks. Today the girls are 18, 17 and 15 years old.
