A publication on social networks that transcended internationally was the alert that our country received from the FBI and that they coordinated with the Embassy of that country and the National Police to find the arrest of Mayra S., who did not receive pretrial detention for trying to sell her six-month-old baby.
As published TC Television who indicated having accessed a part of the mother’s chat, the following was learned:
–Mother: I do not have all day. I sent you the payment information 11 hours ago. You just don’t care about the fact that the baby you call your daughter is not eating properly, she is not sleeping well. She is not being cared for properly at all.
–Buyer: I’m trying to expedite that transfer, I’m doing the best I can.

Mayra S., a native of Guaranda, Bolívar province, arrived in Quito some time ago and hid in different homes to avoid being discovered. The woman is still a suspect for the crime of human trafficking and she received precautionary measures. The judge in the case did not decide to give him preventive detention until he knew all the skills of the woman’s phone.
This case caused a commotion in the country, because the baby was not registered in the Civil Registry. An American citizen gave the alert to the FBI, who contacted the embassy of that country to alert the fact. The woman moved from address to avoid being discovered, but due to the traces she left on Facebook, she was arrested in the Quito Tenis sector, north of the capital.
It was learned that the baby’s father is not involved in the case, according to the detainee, but that he did maintain contact with him.
The minor was not registered in the Civil Registry. She was transferred to a foster home run by the Ministry of Economic and Social Inclusion (MIES) with precautionary measures.
