LA LINEA (Agencies) We reported on this disturbing subject in June (What happened to these babies?) and November (Another 'disappeared baby' in La Linea). Now the National Police's Scientific Division has begun taking DNA samples from families that have reported their suspicions that their babies may have been stolen from them at birth, and sent away for adoption, or sold, mostly back in the 1960s and early 70s. Ten reports on such cases have been filed with the Public Prosecutor's office in Cadiz, while there are at least 20 in La Linea alone, according to the mother who first brought the subject out into the light there, Cristina Díaz Carrasco. Another mother, Carmen, who now lives in the Canaries, says, "They told me it is to find out if my son is still alive. If he's not, I only want to know where he's buried." News reports say that more cases are appearing daily all over the country, although the principal media have yet to show much interest.
