Arrest of mother who left two-year-old twins alone in unsuitable flat in Kipseli
Two two-year-old children, a boy and a girl originally from Congo, were found alone in a first-floor flat on Tinou Street in Kipseli, according to Dikastiko.gr.
The incident occurred in the morning, when a neighbour noticed the twin siblings standing at the window with no adult appearing to be beside them. He immediately called Emergency Services, expressing his concern for the safety of the children.
A patrol car arrived at the scene and police officers established that the flat was unsecured and no adult was present inside. According to reports, the living conditions inside were not suitable for the safe stay of the children.
The two-year-old twins were taken to the Kipseli Department for Crime Investigation and Detection. On Friday afternoon, their 27-year-old mother, also originally from Congo, appeared there, searching for her children.
Police officers proceeded with her arrest for the offence of exposing minors to danger. The twins were transferred to "Aglaia Kyriakou" Children's Hospital for medical examinations, in order to ascertain their state of health.
