When he was five years old, the child's father took him to Brazil and, after falsifying the documents, abandoned him on the Brazilian streets, and, at that time, the child was taken to a center for children in a state of social vulnerability.

This case reached the 'ears' of the Ministry of Social Action, Family and Promotion of Women and INAC through the mother of the boy who is now 12 years old, who informed them of the situation, asking for government intervention for the "rescue", explained Paulo Kalesi, speaking to Angop.

According to the official, in light of this case, they worked with the Angolan Consulate in São Paulo, as well as with Brazilian judicial authorities to find and bring the child back.

After the efforts made, the minor has already returned to Angola, and his arrival took place last Monday.

"The child, accompanied by a Brazilian lawyer, arrived in Angola around six o'clock on Monday and, in the presence of the Angolan Consul in São Paulo and INAC officials, the child was handed over", he stated, quoted by Angop.

The director of INAC, who did not go into detail about the names, also said that the minor was taken to the municipality of Seles, in Cuanza Sul, where his mother and family live.
