POLICE and municipal social workers rescued 11 minors who were reportedly being held inside a hut since Thursday.
This was after a father accused his wife and some members of a religious group called Pagtulun-an sa Dios Amahan of keeping his children inside a house and not allowing anyone to leave.
Edilberto Sayson complained to the Carmen Police Station Monday night that his children, aged 17, 14, and 1 year old, were being kept inside a cramped hut in Sitio Bito, Barangay Baring, Carmen since Thursday and have not been allowed out since then.
