Peru Women’s Ministry Denies Irregularities as Child-Protection Review of Lobatón’s Children Advances

Officials say protocols were followed, with an evaluation under way that could lead to temporary separation if risk is confirmed.

Overview

  • The Ministry of Women issued an official statement rejecting Samahara Lobatón’s claims of procedural failures and said its Special Protection Unit acted within the law to safeguard her and her children.
  • Samahara’s lawyer, Wilmer Arica, said she was notified Saturday night of an administrative process assessing the children’s protection status, with a home visit, psychological evaluations, and her statement planned.
  • Melissa Klug’s attorney, Benji Espinoza, noted authorities could order a temporary placement in a shelter if desprotección is found and said Melissa is not seeking temporary custody for now.
  • Despite legal tensions, Lobatón posted a birthday photo with her mother, Melissa Klug, presenting a united front as Klug publicly expressed concern about her daughter’s judgment.
  • Entertainment outlets published images showing Lobatón and Bryan Torres together at a Lima clinic on Thursday, reportedly due to their baby’s illness.
