Two weeks ago, he informs the local newspaper el tiempoThe Colombian family welfare agency had banned Ranoque and anyone close to him from coming into contact with their children. His maternal grandfather, Narciso Mucutuy, accused the man of beating his wife, Magdalena, who died in a plane crash and then the children found themselves alone in the forest. Their rescue after a long search had moved the world.

The Colombian Institute for Family Welfare (ICBF), which detained the children after their stories, allegedly forbade the man from approaching or contacting them. The ICBF also assured that the children are in good health and that it is cooperating with the prosecution office in the hope that the integrity of the four minors will continue to be protected.
