The La Pampa Chamber of Deputies initiated an investigation into the Rancul baby case to determine if administrative irregularities occurred within the Subsecretaría de Niñez, Adolescencia y Familia. Led by President Sandra Fonseca, the commission requested documentation from Governor Sergio Ziliotto to reconstruct events and ensure the protection of minors.

As the inquiry progressed, officials from the Ministry of Childhood, Adolescence, and Family appeared before the commission to defend their adoption procedures. Subsecretary Juan Pablo Bonino maintained that all actions complied with current laws. However, the proceedings faced tension when government officials refused requests for individual interviews with technical professionals, citing professional dependency and oversight by the Administrative Investigations Prosecutor’s Office. Legislators expressed dissatisfaction, stating this refusal hindered the investigation.
