A man who lives in Granada, Spain, Juan Manuel El Canuto, has managed to conceive, over 61 years of life, a total of 36 children with three women, who up to now continue living with him. Piedad has six offspring of Spanish, Soledad is 14 and María Dolores is 16. This week, the Civil Guard of that country took 13 of her children: seven girls and six boys between three and 15 years of age; who have been left in charge of the government.

According to the Spanish newspaper El País, the reason for this action, which could be classified as extreme, was the result of a risk assessment carried out by the Juvenile Prosecutor's Office and the social services, where the risk of physical and emotional abuse was determined; as well as exposure to situations of intimate partner and family violence. In addition, the investigations of an alleged sexual abuse that came to light last June were considered.

This report showed that the greatest vulnerability could be suffered by girls, due to their sex, because those who are part of the female sex are discriminated against.

Also, it came to light that El Canuto “establishes the norms and guidelines of behavior of all the members of the family (including women, adults and minors), there being a one-way and authoritative communication and a relationship of subjection and behavioral and emotional dependence of all members . Her methods of control include threats, humiliation, and alleged physical abuse.

After the process where the biological parents lose their parental authority, the Andalusian Government will take care of the minors.
