Human trafficking, illegal adoption, omission… the strange story of the baby from SC found with a couple in SP

The São Paulo Police used social media to report that a two-year-old child, missing since April 30th in Santa Catarina, was found with a couple, in a police raid in the East Zone of São Paulo. Therefore, the first line of investigation was human trafficking.

The suspects claimed to have gone to Florianópolis to “pick up” the child for adoption (read “illegal adoption or Brazilian adoption).

The mother – who, according to reports from relatives on social media, did not remember who she had left the baby with before being hospitalized with “extreme vulnerability” – said in a statement that she gave her son to the couple, “without receiving payment” for an adoption.

To the police, the woman who was with the child reported that it was an attempted “Brazilian adoption”, which takes place without going through the country's official adoption system, following current legislation.

One of those responsible for the internet campaign that mobilized the police in Santa Catarina and other states to look for the boy is the influencer Juliano Gaspar, whose name was also recently involved in a dispute with his ex-wife, German comedian Lea Maria. ⤵️

Lea Maria resumes stand-up schedule and posts on social networks after episode of domestic violence

The most Brazilian German on the internet, Lea Maria Jahn, was left out of social media and Brazil after denouncing her husband, comedian Juliano Gaspar, for domestic violence, “physical and psychological”. He denies it and the two are separated. Lea obtained a protective measure against her ex-partner. A few weeks ago, the comedian's followers came across new videos, very “Lea” style, with references to the troubled moment she lived through. The concert schedule in Brazil was also resumed.

In the first post made by Juliano Gaspar, on Instagram 3 days ago, the influencer says the following:

“Guys, as you know, my nephew Nicolas is missing. My sister, his mother, is hospitalized and cannot provide information on where she left him or who kept him. Any information about his whereabouts can be sent to the numbers in the post completely confidentially. We know that the person with him may not even know that he is reported missing, our goal now is just to bring him back home safely. The incident took place in Florianópolis, but it could have been anywhere. Help us share the post so we can find him as soon as possible, we are desperate and distressed with no news about our little baby.”

Adoption Stakeholder Group

The suspects were not a couple. The woman said she wanted to adopt the boy and that she met the man in a group “interested in adoption”. Second UOL report, she would have contacted the police officers who were going to the forum to legalize the boy's adoption.

The police still do not know whether the child's mother received any amount of money to hand her over to the recruiters. The case continues to be investigated.

It is important to highlight: Adopting a child must follow strict criteria within Brazilian legislation! Never through payment or “donation” with false paternity registration!
