Three minor children were taken from the home of Pietro Loffredo and his partner in Lanciano, according to reporting by Il Mattino.
The account of the removal comes principally from the family's legal representatives, lawyers Angelo and Sergio Pisani. The lawyers said the parents had received no telephone call or other contact with the children for two days following the intervention.
A related Il Mattino report identifies the children as aged 3, 4 and 7. That report says social services attributed the intervention to alleged child abandonment. It also says Loffredo was told he would be able to see the children only on the following Tuesday.
The lawyers are reported to be seeking access to the official case records. They have called for transparency, an explanation of the legal basis for the measure, and urgent intervention by the responsible institutions. Those remarks are allegations and requests made on behalf of the family, not independent findings.
The underlying court order, social-services documentation, and any statement from the child-protection authorities were not included in the reports reviewed. The factual and legal basis for the removal, including the alleged abandonment and reported concerns about the children's living conditions, cannot therefore be independently established from these articles alone.
The children's current placement, welfare status, contact arrangements, and any subsequent legal developments also remain unconfirmed in the available reporting.
