Police Refuse to Act: Mother Seeks Justice for Daughter's Illegal Instagram Account

In Spain, a mother's complaint regarding an Instagram account illegally created for her 12-year-old daughter was refused by the police. This sparked a discussion about police conduct and citizens' rights. The mother, distraught and unable to resolve the issue through local authorities, contacted a lawyer known for his legal advice on TikTok. The lawyer, Xavi Abat, explained that police are legally obligated to take action when there are indications of a crime, especially when minors are involved. He stated, "They are obliged by law to act if there are signs of a crime, especially if minors are involved." The lawyer's video, which has garnered significant attention, details the legal frameworks supporting the mother's claim, including the LECrim, Constitution, Penal Code, and Law of the State Security Forces and Corps. Abat's advice to the mother, and others in similar situations, is to obtain the officer's badge number and file a complaint with the court or prosecutor's office. The case highlights the importance of parental rights in protecting children's online safety and the accountability of law enforcement in addressing such crimes. The widespread attention the video received underscores the public's interest in this critical issue.
