Lady in White fined for leaving her son with other people while going to mass

Niala Puentes Batista was arrested to prevent her participation in mass at San José church. She was put in police car #459 and driven to the Colón Police Station. Once at the station, she was taken to Norma Baró, the Juvenile Department Official, who said the reason for her detention was that she could not leave her four-month-old son alone while she was gone. "On this occasion and next week, I am only warning you, but on the third week, you will be brought to the courts" emphasized Norma Baró. During the time that Niala was detained, they did not issue the corresponding arrest certificate as established by law. They imposed a fine for the value of 150.00 CUP (4.6 euros) and she was released at 12:45 p.m.
