PANAMA. National Police units rescued a seven year old child who was alone and frightened from a car at 12:30 a. m. while the parents were busy playing at a local casino in Chitre city, Herrera province.

The girl was taken to the Childhood and Adolescents headquarters, after the police decided she was in danger.

Meanwhile the parents were arrested and taking to the a detention center until further notice.

The girl was discovered as the policemen were making sure that the curfew for minors was being complied with. Last night only one young person was detained.

The Ministry of Social Development together with the National Police has launched a campaign to identify adolescents and children who are in danger.

Child neglect cases are surfacing more often as the public is becoming more aware and willing to denounce parents and guardians who are abusing children.

The Ministry of Social Development has created hostels to take care of abandoned and neglected children. There they receive medical, psychological and moral help, while recovering from their ordeals.
