Santa Catarina Public Prosecutor's Office investigates child safety incident

The Public Prosecutor's Office of Santa Catarina (MPSC) has launched an investigation into an incident in Ibirama where a two-year-old child left a Child Education Center (CEI) unaccompanied. The 1st Prosecutor's Office has opened a formal inquiry to determine how the event occurred and whether the institution's security and supervision protocols were followed.

To clarify the circumstances, the MPSC has requested administrative records, detailed information on the incident, and the measures taken by the municipality from the Municipal Secretariat of Education. Additionally, the CEI management is required to provide video surveillance footage covering the child's exit and the moments immediately preceding and following the event.

The municipality has ten days to provide the requested documentation, including information regarding any administrative inquiries already initiated. Prosecutor Laura Ayub Salvatori stated that the investigation aims to evaluate the adequacy of security flows to prevent future occurrences and ensure child safety.
