Overview
- Police say officers found three children unattended in common areas of the Holiday World Resort and arrested a 41-year-old father and a 28-year-old mother on suspicion of abandoning their minors.
- The three children, ages four years, one year and six months, were treated for heat-related symptoms and taken to the Hospital Materno Infantil de Málaga for medical and toxicology tests.
- Initial reports from investigators and news outlets indicate the two youngest children tested positive for cocaine, a result that authorities are continuing to verify as part of the probe.
- The Junta de Andalucía has assumed tutela of the minors and placed them with a temporary foster family while social services handle their care and the police assemble evidence for possible charges.
- Investigators are working to establish how the children were exposed to the drug and to gather evidence about the parents’ conduct at the resort, and the case remains under active police inquiry.
