A German-American couple has been arrested in Oviedo, northern Spain, after authorities discovered they had kept their three young children locked indoors for over three years due to extreme fears of COVID-19. The children—an older boy aged 10 and twin girls aged 8—were found on April 28, 2025, in a severely neglected state, having lived in near-total isolation since December 2021. ![]() According to local reports, the children were not allowed to attend school, go outside, or interact with anyone beyond their immediate family. When police entered the apartment, they found the children wearing multiple face masks, underweight, and suffering from significant psychological distress. They had been living in unsanitary conditions with no access to sunlight, physical activity, or proper education. The incident came to light after a concerned neighbor alerted authorities about the prolonged absence of the children from school and public life. Social services and police launched an investigation, which culminated in a raid on the family’s apartment. The parents, identified as Christian and Melissa Steffen, were arrested on the spot and are currently facing charges including domestic violence, child abandonment, and psychological abuse. They have been denied bail and remain in custody as investigations continue. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

tobore4u: You've really learned the hard... way. ![]() Ya life is in messed up now. Are you owing all the loan sharks in 9ja already? I think government should mandate all the betting companies to provide a space where people can see the total money they've deposited and the total withdrawal. By so doing, them go use their tongue count their teeth. ![]() 41 Likes 2 Shares |

The parents are unstable and should be relieved of parenting until they get it together.

Most people rushed into this thread thinking they were Nigerians so that they'll attack them based on their tribal names. But they were disappointed. May God continue to disappoint tribalists on this forum. ![]() 29 Likes 2 Shares |

![]() Where are the 'Africans are uncivilised' crew now? Where are they? See how your gods the whites behave.! ![]() Some of you people need to read widely when you are online. Evil is not a black man thing. Even this case was broken because someone heard kids crying in a house that seemingly had no kids...and called the cops. 53 Likes 1 Share |

Arrested them for what they planned to do all of us. People were literally lockdown against their wishes. The parents should have locked themselves too. This was as a result of media propaganda and hype. |
