Clarification from the Taounate Public Prosecutor's Office
The Public Prosecutor's Office at the Court of First Instance in Taounate has officially denied the rumors circulating on various social media platforms regarding the alleged kidnapping of a minor in the locality of Ouattabouban. Reports suggested that a young girl was abducted by unknown individuals, leading to widespread concern when she was later found in critical health condition.
In a detailed statement issued on Tuesday, the Prosecutor clarified that these claims had gained significant traction on social media, prompting the initiation of a preliminary investigation by the judicial police under the oversight of the relevant prosecution authorities. The initial findings of the investigation revealed that the allegations of kidnapping were unfounded. It was confirmed by the girl's father and several family members that she suffers from psychological disturbances, which occasionally lead her to leave her family home.
The statement emphasized that the verified information gathered during the investigation did not support any claims of abduction, contradicting what had been disseminated in the digital sphere. In light of these developments, the Public Prosecutor's Office has urged the public and social media users to exercise caution when sharing news and to seek information from official sources to avoid spreading false information that could incite anxiety and confusion within the community.
