Turkey in shock for child captive among garbage

Turkey in shock after discovering child living captive among garbage

Turkey is still trying to recover from the shock after cleaning workers discovered on Sunday, locked in a room and among kilos and kilos of garbage accumulated in a Bursa house, a malnourished and neglected child missing for 2 years. The small, frightened, extremely thin and with uncut nails child, was found after the owner of the house requested due to non-payment of rent the eviction of the tenant, which the boy said was his mother; however, the investigation has shown that the woman was actually the sister of her real biological mother, who had denounced her sister 2 years ago for kidnapping her son. The boy, who is recovering in a hospital in Antalya, has already been able to see his mother but for now he will remain under the guardianship of social services. His aunt, a security guard and divorced with a daughter, has been arrested, and maintains that she took the child because her mother did not take care of him.
