Little Daniel to be sold for €50k
Little Daniel, who had been missing in Calheta, Madeira, would be sold for 50 thousand euro to a wealthy family. The police investigation is continuing but Lydia Freitas, the mother, now owned up by confessing the attempted sale, but does not reveal to whom.

Baby Daniel's mother arrested.
Remember baby Daniel, the 18 month old who went missing in January this year.
The Judicial Police today arrested the mother of little Daniel. Lydia Freitas was again called to the premises of PJ and will now await the judge's decision. The arrest comes after months of investigation and a lengthy interrogation of more than seven hours on that subject was Friday afternoon and lasted until the early hours of today.
(http://imgs.cmjornal.xl.pt/2014-01/2014-01-24003525_CA967162-B341-4FEB-88DD-FECB0766BF67$$738d42d9-134c-4fbe-a85a-da00e83fdc20$$5edd48c3-5e73-48ec-a214-e9e295c7050b$$odia_imagem_grande$$pt$$1.jpg)
The fact of having been arrested may confirm the theory that was gaining ground among the PJ inspectors, in the sense that the child's disappearance 18 months will be related to a "staging", possibly for the sale of the boy, as already admitted PJ.
Update
Daniel has now been handed over to his father and will stay with him in Prazeres.
His mother is in the prison in Cancela awaiting trial after the involvement of the kidnapping of the child.

Little Daniel was sold for €50k
Yet another faked abduction case in Portugal has been highlighted with the arrest of Daniel Vieira's mother. She was arrested on the allegation that she tried to sell the child for 50,000 Euros.

PJ suspeita de namorado da mãe de Daniel Roberto Carlos, amante de Lídia, é suspeito de envolvimento no rapto simulado de Daniel, para que o bebé fosse vendido a uma família estrangeira.

Roberto Carlos, namorado de Lídia, é suspeito de envolvimento no rapto simulado do pequeno Daniel. A PJ vai agora tentar reconstituir onde andou em janeiro passado, quando Daniel desapareceu do Estreito da Calheta, da casa dos familiares de Lídia Freitas.
A relação de ambos não é recente. Poderia já existir na altura em que o menino desapareceu, pretendendo Lídia angariar uma boa quantia que lhe possibilitasse mudar de vida. Sair do casebre da Calheta, na Madeira, e juntar-se ao novo companheiro. Lídia, que ontem saiu em liberdade do Tribunal de Instrução Criminal, continua em silêncio sobre o envolvimento de terceiros. A jovem recusou prestar declarações à juíza. Não disse a quem ia vender a criança, nem quem a ajudou a planear o negócio.
A investigação da PJ poderá ser demorada. O objetivo é consolidar provas do envolvimento de Lídia e só a seguir avançar para a captura do intermediário. Os destinatários do bebé são mais difíceis de apanhar. Serão estrangeiros. Entretanto, também ontem soube-se que Lídia estará novamente grávida. Não se sabe se do novo companheiro se do anterior, Carlos, mas o seu estado de saúde, aliado à sua tenra idade, terá levado a que a juíza a libertasse.
Além do termo de identidade e residência, Lídia terá ainda de se apresentar duas vezes por semana no posto de polícia local. Não pode sair da Madeira sem autorização do tribunal. O inquérito irá continuar, mas só pelo crime de tráfico de pessoas. O tribunal entendeu que não havia indícios do sequestro agravado, já que o crime prevê a falta de consentimento do próprio. Como o menino tinha apenas 18 meses, não poderia então dar ou não consentimento, o que levou a magistrada a retirar esse crime dos indícios apresentados pelo procurador.

PJ suspected her mother's boyfriend Daniel Roberto Carlos lover, Lydia, is suspected of involvement in the simulated abduction of Daniel, that the baby was sold to a foreign family.

Roberto Carlos, boyfriend of Lydia, is suspected of involvement in the mock kidnapping of little Daniel. The PJ will now try to reconstruct where have you been last January, when Daniel disappeared from Calheta, the home of the family of Lydia Freitas.
Their relationship is not new. It might already exist at the time the boy disappeared, intending Lydia raise a good sum that would allow him to change his life. Exit the hut of Calheta, Madeira, and join the new companion. Lydia, who yesterday left at liberty the Court of Criminal Investigation, remains silent on the involvement of third parties. The couple refused to comment the judge. Not told who was going to sell the child, or who helped plan the business.
The investigation of the PJ may be delayed. The objective is to consolidate evidence of the involvement of Lydia and only then proceed to the trapping of the intermediate. Recipients of the baby are harder to catch. Are foreigners. However, also yesterday it was learned that Lydia is pregnant again. It is not known if the new mate if the former, Carlos, but his state of health, in addition to their young age, have led to the judge to release him.
Beyond the term of identity and residence, Lydia will still have to report twice a week at the local police station. Can not leave Madeira without court approval. The investigation will continue, but only for the crime of trafficking in persons. The court held that there was no indication of aggravated kidnapping, since the crime foresees a lack of consent itself. As the boy was only 18 months, so could not give consent or not, which led the magistrate to withdraw the crime of the evidence presented by the prosecutor.

So the PJ invented the mothers 'confession' then, and got the press to publish lies against her. Sounds familiar. Thank god the worlds media had the McCanns in the spotlight and they were able to get out of there before being chucked downstairs tortured into confessing and so on.
By the by, I see that other dirty cop who was involved in writing the interim report has been found guilty. Another corrupt cop, just like Amaral.

It hasn't been proved as fact. As you are so fond of saying.

So she is not in prison? No charges against her? How come? And have they found the alleged buyers of the baby?

It seems she was "arrested" (detenida), or "held" for interrogation (for seven hours according to an unconfirmed report) and released on bail.
The alleged charge against her seems to be for "human trafficking", reduced from "aggravated sequestration".
To be taken in for questioning as anything other than a witness requires arguido status. In order to do so, there needs to be founded suspicion (unless the witness claims that right), however I still haven't discovered what this alleged evidence actually is.

Daniel's second birthday was celebrated on Wednesday in Calheta. The boy saw his father, aunt, cousin and grandparents sing to congratulated him. Daniel's mother is forbidden from seeing her children by court order, but can telephone them.

Portuguese mother charged with people trafficking of own son
(http://portugalresident.com/sites/default/files/styles/node-detail/public/field/image/Daniel%20Abreu%20Freitas%20(2)_0.jpg?itok=WrUZJi67)
UPDATE
Months after the country was assailed by photos of Baby Daniel - the angel-faced infant who went missing on the island of Madeira for three long cold nights in January - news now emerges that his mother Lídia was behind the staged abduction, and was in fact trying to sell the little boy for €50,000.
Dogged PJ police are still trying to piece all the intrigue together. According to news services, they remain unsure who the intermediary was in the deal, and to whom Daniel was destined.
But the whole hypothesis of abduction has well and truly been thrown out the window.
Daniel’s mother Lídia has appeared in court in Madeira, and her two children, Daniel and Mariana, are back with their father Carlos and his parents in the ramshackle home that the family have in Calheta.
According to newspapers, suspicions always hovered over the parents but detectives stuck to a strategy. They even called off the search for the little boy less than 24 hours after he went missing, as they considered this was the best option to ensure his safety.
The gamble paid off: Daniel was found safe and well - his nappy changed and his stomach full - very close to the area where he went missing. His parents were apparently elated, and police then sat back and waited to see what would happen next.
It didn’t take long. Lídia moved out of the family home, taking the children with her, and began living with another man. Husband Carlos is understood to have already had strong suspicions of her behaviour and at some point over the last week, Lídia lodged a complaint against him for domestic violence.
The pair were taken in for questioning, and during that time, police at last got the confession they had been waiting for.
Lídia, not Carlos, had been the prime-mover behind the scheme. She told police she needed the money to ‘make a new life’ away from her husband. She also mentioned the heart problems of little Mariana (see Resident’s March 13 edition: ‘More heartache for family of kidnapped baby Daniel’), but her story remains incomplete.
She has still not apparently identified whoever it was who looked after Daniel in the intervening hours as she played the distraught mother - and she has not indicated who wanted to buy her son, who is now two years old.
Lídia is charged with the offence of people trafficking and has been released on bail pending further investigations, while Carlos has told newspapers that his former partner will “never see the children again”.
For police, it has been another case of the PJ maxim: “Justice works in Silence.”
Reporting on the story on Tuesday, Correio da Manhã suggests Lídia’s current boyfriend may have been involved in the plot, but investigations into his movements on the day Daniel went missing are still ongoing.
www.portugalresident.com/portuguese-mother-charged-with-people-trafficking-of-own-son
According to Correio da Manhã today, it was planned to sell the child to a couple of migrants from South Africa. If the plan was successful, the target would a wealthy family who would have paid a "bonus" to the child's mother.

As there seems to be a new thread on this, I'll repeat my question over here.
Lídia lodged a complaint against him for domestic violence.

Was this reported in CdaM?

We get told off for discussing the Cipriano case on this forum and look, here's a case entirely unconnected to the McCann case right here in the "Disappearance Of Madeleine McCann" section - double standards, or what!

The Daniel case appears to have grown legs as they say in legal circles so I have split the threads and given the case its own board. Please feel free to add threads as the case develops.

I don't find that the title of this thread is objective.

So far she seems to have been arrested and released on "bail".
The allegation that the abduction was faked hasn't yet even gone to trial, yet alone proven.

And was it to save the Elite that i believe behind the abductions ort was it to help save Amaral

1. None of us knows what happened in this case. The tabloid press is not best known for accuracy as opposed to sensationalism.
2. The tabloids keep changing the story.
3. If you had to live in a corrugated-iron hut, your choices for the welfare of your children might be different, particularly when one child is apparently very sick due to a heart disease.
4. Even if she had intended to give her little boy up for adoption in a desperate situation, I still don't understand the connection between the toddler's disappearance and the alleged adoption project.

(Fresh fantasy from the minds of the Portuguese)
Seeing my son
Freitas Lydia is the mother of little Daniel. Life of Madeira who deceived the country in January Today, 14h33 Number of votes (0) Comments (11) By: Marta Silva Martins Let's draw the film six months back:.. "All I ask is that my son who has delivered to the police or to the health center or leave it somewhere that we will not get anyone want remorse or upset anyone, only want our baby back home to her parents, grandparents and siblings. " It was a serene mother who made the appeal on 21 January this year, 48 hours after his son Daniel disappeared. Initially, everyone had doubts about the tears that did not fall of the face of Lydia Freitas - what mother does not cry when the deprive of your most treasured possession? - But soon attributed the lack of emotion to the difficult life he had led hitherto. "I cried all the children," argued the then-in-law, Augustine Abreu, told the magazine 'Sunday'. In an interview to a television program, after already having appeared in Daniel brought, Lydia turned to leave the surprises people when he said: "The first thing that crossed my mind was that Daniel was dead" - an impossible fit in suspected heart of any mother because mother (Psychology is unanimous) holds out hope even if confronted with evidence of the death of a child, which was not even the case. At the time also surprised it closed at home while the neighbors sought the child. And that has only agreed to contact the authorities three hours after the alleged abduction. On Friday June 20, the incongruities of Daniel's disappearance began to make some sense, although they are far from having all the pieces of the puzzle. On that day, the mother and the father (as well as other unidentified) were heard in the Judicial Police. Lydia, who confessed to the PC who tried to sell her son for 50 000 euros, still would be questioned defendant again before being lodged, arrested and taken to the Prison of the barrier, where it has now been released. Daniel's mother no longer lives in the shed where he moved at age 16 at the time joined with Carlos. The new house, which shares with her boyfriend (who was living however and that is also in the sights of PJ), is in the town of Pleasures (which also belongs to Calheta) and is not very different from where he lived with in-laws and the husband, is a skeleton of a concrete house that was never finished. There is no water or electricity, Nor windows. Ali - have confessed to the eldest daughter, Mariana, his father - no bathroom or bed, you sleep on the dirt floor on a blanket. Misery is the same, just changed the site. Misery in Calheta Lydia Freitas, 24, indicted for the crime of trafficking in persons (that will prove a prison sentence of three to ten years), not born in Calheta, is the Strait. Abandoned by her mother, an alcoholic who does not return back is seen sleeping on the streets of Funchal - and now reappeared to say he does not believe his daughter has tried to sell grandson she never knew and also to call a liar - never deprived his father, who died in Africa where he lived. Lydia and her sisters - who now came accuse of having invented this 'story' of the sale to be famous - spent his childhood bouncing from family to foster family. Brother Paul was institutionalized at the other end of the island. Daniel's mother attended school but soon showed learning difficulties - although never together. Came to have a job outside the home - in a supermarket - something that has not happened to Daniel's father, a subsistence farmer who has lived a lifetime of giving land. "She is more than he desenrascada, neither realized that the woman had a top of the range [600 euros] phone let alone knew it could be worth as much money. To him who has no television, it was a machine like other any. Carlos is more humble, reserved, "confides a source that deals with social inequalities in Madeira and knows Calheta in particular. "People here are feeling cheated. Helped Because what could, in solidarity with the family and now this happens. Defended I own mother when Daniel disappeared, because I thought it could not be wary of one family because they are poor or live in misery, because that family is the picture of many Madeira families. shocks me who has tried to sell the child. was one thing that was happening before, where families with children less possessions handed people who can take care of them - who were calling 'godfathers' -. but never lost contact with them, that is completely different it is true, there was a criminal intent on the part of the mother, "adds the same source. Than the earth gives Flagged by the Social Security, Carlos and Lydia were never accused of maltreatment of children, Mariana and Daniel. The household was - until Lydia leaving home to live with her boyfriend, Roberto Carlos - consisting of eight people. Live off the land and gives income of social insertion of 300 euros to cover their basic expenses. At the time Daniel disappeared - a Sunday where the family had gathered in the house of the sponsors for a lunch - totaled up aid pledges. The Housing Institute of Wood announced that he would support the recovery of the hut where the family lived for Daniel but this support did not finally materialize, although the president of the Institute has already been said that a new home will be given to those who stick with the tutelage of Children. Lydia will, in turn, declined all job offers made to him following the disappearance (and subsequent appearance) of the child. The boy has been missing for three days and was found by levadeiros in their routine task of distribution of irrigation water, a scrub next to the led, three kilometers from the house where he disappeared and very close to the house current boyfriend of Lydia, which Judicial intrigued. At the time, the Central Hospital of Funchal, where the boy was hospitalized for diagnostic tests, the pediatrician noted that it was "very difficult and puzzling" that the child had lived alone for so exposed to cold weather. The diapers had also been exchanged, which led immediately to believe that Daniel had been with an adult. It is this person that PJ demand. Lydia would have the intention to sell the child to a wealthy couple Madeiran emigrants in South America, but the version will have changed however - the final destination of Daniel would, after all, England. Indifferent to the chaos that rocked the family and left the country with its eye on Wood - the second time in half a year - a two year old has maintained the same routine. The banter with her sister in a small hut, under the eye of his father and grandparents, disguise the environment that you live over there these days. Accused of domestic violence by ex-mate, Carlos Sousa denied the alleged assault that she accuses him - it was indeed the complaint Lydia has allowed the PJ conduct further inquiries. Carlos also rejected any involvement in the abduction scenario and assumed that it was he who denounced the PJ's participation ex-partner in the simulation of abduction Boy, for later sale. The 'Morning Post', recalled the morning of January 22, was the missing son for sixty hours. "They phoned at 08h00. Saw that she was the number of police and said he would not attend. Which was only for chatearem, which had more to do. When told that Daniel had appeared, she immediately said it could not be. Do not lay a tear, it seemed angry. " Placement in an institution - - keep them in the family environment monitoring to safeguard the safety of children, measures ranging from more drastic measures may be adopted. "The Wood never forgot this case that shook all security concepts that felt on the island in relation to our children. We need to know if what happened to Daniel was an abduction or if it was the mother. Only then can go back to sleep rested, "justifies a resident. Certain is that the population of Calheta one day forget this case, something that Daniel can not do when you grow up. lD

If the child was to be sold,
Where is the money?
Why was he found 3 days later by someone other than police, with burn marks from the cold?
The police were already interrogating the mother, before he was even found
I may have missed it , but can find nothing on domestic abuse.....I wonder if she had bruises
Anyway a brief update:-
The mother was given visitation rights after being released from 2 days in prison
It looks as if the childs father may forgive the mother?
"Right now is no longer a situation the Commission for the Protection of Minors, but the court," said Bernadette Vieira told reporters on the sidelines of XIII Forum of the Child which runs in Funchal, when confronted with the issue of safety of the children of Lydia Freitas, indicted for the crime of trafficking in persons, on suspicion of involvement in the "staging" of the disappearance of little Daniel, 18 months at the time, in January this year, Calheta (west of Madeira).
The official stressed that "there is a suspicion of crime, if it is confirmed the court will make the decision and Social Security will meet this decision."

"The District Court of Ponta do Sol decided that the two minors are subject to the father's support, getting to live with his father, but always under the supervision of the Social Security", added the same source.

In another joined case, the Court of Ponta do Sol also decided to parental responsibilities.
In this case it was established a "visitation rights to the mother," as well as the provision of a monetary value on the part of this, but due to its' current financial situation, "can be difficult to achieve.Contacted by the agency Lusa's father, Carlos Freitas, expressed satisfaction with the decision of the court and proved convinced that all conditions have to have children in their care.
Daniel, now two years old, disappeared on 19 January during a get-together with relatives and was found three days later.
According to doctors who observed the boy at the time, this was "clinically well", only with signs of burns due to the cold, in a case that considered "intriguing".The child's mother was arrested by judicial police six months later, on June 23, and so far only suspected of involvement in an alleged staged the kidnapping of the child.
In June, Freitas Lydia was detained for two days at the Prison of Funchal, but after having been heard by the Public Prosecutor in the District of Ponta do Sol [county where the event occurred] and the judge of the Criminal Investigation Funchal, was released, pending the development of the process with term of identity and residence, with the obligation of the authorities biweekly presentations and prohibition to leave the region.

02/23/2015 07:55 Mother leaves little Daniel Lydia Freitas not seen the boy for two years. By Magali Pinto
Lydia Freitas left to visit his son Daniel, Calheta, Madeira. The boy abducted by the mother to be sold in January last year, lives with her father and sister, Mariana, in a new house. Lydia is indicted for the crime of trafficking in persons, but is entitled to two visits per week. A month ago that does not appear at home. "She never came here. She is who knows. Not phones," said CM Carlos Abreu, father of two children, who held the temporary custody after Lydia Freitas have been held by the Judicial Police. Carlos Abreu does not work, do a few odd jobs, and through serious financial problems. "I do not neglect my children, but there are months when I have to stretch the money. This month has not paid the bills," he added. After being taken to court, Lydia Freitas combined with ex-husband would visit the children at his house, as now, with a new boyfriend, Lydia lives in a house without electricity or water. It got to spend a week in Carlos Abreu house, but since it came out a month ago, no longer returned.

The facts date back to January 2014 19, day in which the child, then 17 months, was reported missing during a lunch at the House of relatives of the mother. Lydia Freitas has been to remain silent during the trial in the Court of Funchal. According to the District Attorney of Lisbon (PGDL), "the charges were deducted against the mother of the child, to have collected evidence, considered sufficient, that this was the disappearance of the child with a view to selling it to third parties so that they could adopt via illegal".
Daniel's mother was arrested by the judicial police to be interrogated two days after the child's disappearance, on suspicion of involvement in the disappearance of his son. Six months later he returned to be stopped and the 23 June 2014, after being heard by judge of Criminal Instruction of Funchal, was subject to term of identity and residence. The prosecution contends that the defendant "came up with a plan to sell the boy to someone who" did not have and wanted to have a child, "perspetivando receive between" 30000 and EUR 125,000.
Argues that Lydia Freitas will have done-if invited to a lunch at the home of family members residing in the Strait of Calheta, whereas "the location and isolation, would be the perfect place" to promote the ' disappearance ' of Daniel. The prosecution argues that the child will have seen the mother outside the House and wanted to go to her, having the defendant "went through the window, picked up Daniel and delivered the child to the person of unidentified identity", noting that this "action it took more than five minutes" and later "simulated search Daniel". The child was found three days later, about 1,100 metres in the same family house, by levadeiros [professionals dealing with the maintenance of watercourses in the island], in the New, "in the middle of dry ferns", with the wet clothes, signs of hypothermia, hands with signs of exposure to the cold and wrinkled feet due to humidity.
The fact that the defendant be remanded to the silence in the audience of trial, the Court began hearing the first seven witnesses, starting with the inspectors of the judicial police (PJ) involved in the investigation, the Commander of the volunteer firefighters of Calheta, John Joy, and Daniel's father, by videoconference, who is remanded in custody, suspected for committing the crime of statutory rape. One of the inspectors of the PJ said in court that the involvement of the accused "was a chance placed on the day of the disappearance of the child, emphasizing" surprised "the fact that Lydia Freitas" be too calm, "" not seem distressed "or" suffering "mother nature with a child in this situation.
Also the father of Daniel, who decided to testify, said that after the detetarem disappearance, the former "was calm", "wasn't worried" and "had no mood to talk about it". Considered that Lydia Freitas was "a little disappointed" when they received the call informing that the child had been found and said: "that's a lie, it can't be". Carlos Abreu Shah admitted he suspected the involvement of the former because, among other aspects, this also refused to integrate the group that organized to find the boy and told him not to worry because "where he [Daniel] is, is right" and that "whoever took him will certainly take care of him".

It was about 9:10 am when the mother of the little Daniel, Lídia Freitas, arrived at the Central Instance of the District of Madeira for the first session of the Judgment, and refused to speak to the journalists. The silence of the mother at the entrance to the court may be an indication of her posture throughout the session.
Lídia Freitas is awaiting trial while on bail and was accompanied by her current companion after leaving behind Carlos Abreu, the father of the baby which mysteriously disappeared on January 19, 2014, and found three days later in a nearby drainage channel. It was Carlos Abreu who reported that the former companion had orchestrated his kidnapping to sell him to a family, being a key witness in this process.
The trial which has its first session today will be chaired by Judge Carla Meneses. There is already a new session scheduled for a week from now, next Thursday.
By trafficking in persons, Lídia Freitas faces a sentence of up to 12 years in prison

It will be interesting to see how this case pans out. John, and what evidence the PJ have of this allleged attempted sale of Daniel. I wonder who the defence lawyer is?

Desperate times in a Portuguese colony if mothers have to sell their own children but then wasn't that the latest claim by the notorious Leonora Cipriano?

Its Correia's back yard but is he still licenced to practise law following his escapades in court in Faro and after previously being suspended by the Madeira Lawyers Association? She is bloody lucky not to be facing a murder charge imo since the little boy could well have died from exposure.

It was a tongue-in-cheek remark about the lawyer - I've no idea if he is still practising but his name doesn't appear on any recent lists.
You seem to have declared her guilty already. Why would someone abandon a child they were intending to purchase?

I came across the following report from a few weeks back.
Lídia's intention allegedly was to sell her son to another family

23 NOV 2016
Lídia Freitas is accused of trafficking in persons and faces a sentence of up to 12 years in prison.
The beginning of the trial of Lídia Freitas, the mother of the 18-month-old boy who early in 2014 had been missing for three days in Calheta Strait, was scheduled for January 19, at the Central Instance of the Comarca da Madeira (Building 2000). The woman is accused of the crime of trafficking in persons and risks a penalty that could reach 12 years in prison.
Lídia Freitas is the only defendant in a lawsuit that even had other suspects in the investigation phase but about whom the Judiciary Police could not gather sufficient evidence for an indictment.
It is recalled that the child disappeared from his godparents' house, located in Lombo dos Reis, during a family gathering on January 19, 2014. Despite intense searches in the subsequent hours, Daniel was only found three days later by a group Of levadeiros, in a zone of bush relatively close to the house of the padrinhos. He was in good health, although he had some signs of hypothermia.
It was not long before the Judicial Police questioned the boy's parents. At that time, the couple did not reveal everything they knew, but eight months later, in August, the couple disagreed over problems of infidelity and the father, Carlos Abreu, denounced the mother. Lídia Freitas was detained and was accused of practicing a crime of trafficking in persons. She allegedly simulated the kidnapping of her son with the intention of selling him. The investigators failed to gather enough information to locate the family that was to receive the child, although they questioned several suspects.
After the accusation of the mother, who left the family home, Daniel and his sister were left in the care of their father, who was given social housing.
However, already in August this year, Daniel's father was arrested by the Judiciary Police, suspected of committing a crime of rape of a minor. Carlos Abreu was denounced by a 17-year-old girl, pointing to him as alleged perpetrator of a crime committed on May 2 next to the pool at the Calheta school, where he worked under a program of the Employment Institute.

Madeira: Daniel's mother, missing boy, acquitted
Court has failed to prove the crimes of kidnapping and trafficking in persons. Lídia Freitas was accused of staging the disappearance of her son for the power sells
2017-02-16 14:32
The mother of Daniel, the boy from Madeira who was missing for three days in 2014, was acquitted on Thursday of crimes of kidnapping and trafficking.
The Court of the Central District Court of Madeira was not able to prove the crimes that Lídia Freitas was accused after being suspected of staging the disappearance of her son to be able to sell.
Daniel was found three days later very close to where he had disappeared, in Calheta, safe and sound.
The group presided over by Judge Carla Menezes considered that "no evidence allows to conclude that the events [related to the disappearance of the child] succeeded in the way described in the indictment."
"In the absence of full proof" of the boy's mother's involvement in the disappearance of his son, "the court has no other choice" and decided, "using the legal principle of 'dubious pro reo', acquit" the defendant, the judge said.
The events date back to January 19, 2014, the day Daniel, then 17 months old, was reported missing during a luncheon with his mother's relatives.
The indictment alleges that "sufficient evidence was gathered that it was responsible for the disappearance of the child, with a view to selling it to third parties so that they could adopt it illegally."
According to the prosecution, the woman "generated a plan to sell" the boy to someone who "did not have and wanted to have a child," looking to receive between "30 thousand and 125 thousand euros."
Lídia Freitas has managed to get invited to lunch at the home of relatives living in the Strait of Calheta, considering that due to "the location and isolation, it would be the perfect place" for the 'disappearance' of Daniel.
The child was found three days later, about 1,100 meters from the same house as relatives, by healers (professionals who care for the maintenance of water courses in the island's mountains), in Levada do Nova, in the midst of dry plants.
He had wet clothing, signs of hypothermia, hands with signs of exposure to cold, and feet wrinkled due to moisture.
Daniel's mother was detained on June 23, 2014 and, after being heard by the criminal investigating judge of Funchal, she was subject to a term of identity and residence.
In court, witnesses, including the Inspectors of the Judiciary Police, family members of the defendant and the boy's former partner and father (currently on probation under another case involving suspected child rape) Accused "strange and calm" when the child disappeared.
In the video conference testimony, the boy's father, Carlos Abreu Sousa, said that Lídia Freitas was "a little disappointed" when they received the call informing that the child had been found and said: "It's a lie, it can not be."
Carlos Abreu Sousa admitted to having suspected the former partner's involvement because, among other things, she also refused to join the group that organized the searches.
The trial began on January 12, and the defendant, Lídia Freitas, refused to file a statement in court, which today handed down the sentence, acquittal.

Good news for Lidia & imo the correct decision was reached.

I wonder will it ever be revealed how a 17-month-old child managed to get more than a kilometre from his grandparents house and survived for three days and nights out on his own?
