Overview
- Diario Sur published statements from two adopted Ugandan adolescents alleging repeated physical abuse, harsh punishments, food deprivation and threats while living in a home in l'Horta Nord, Valencia.
- The children told reporters of specific episodes that include a threat to throw a child from a balcony and an incident in which one minor rolled down a staircase after a dispute over laundry.
- The alleged victims are aged 12 and 15 and are identified as the adopted children of Patricia Campos and her partner; Campos is publicly known as the first woman to pilot jets in the Spanish Navy.
- The reporting presents the minors' accounts but gives no independent corroboration and does not include statements from Campos, her partner, law enforcement or child-protection authorities.
- The article does not report any criminal charges or official investigation at this time and notes that the children’s Ugandan origin and international adoption status could add legal and welfare complexity if authorities pursue the case.
