A specialized criminal investigation team was formed and managed to identify the woman appearing in the footage, who turned out to be the child’s mother, residing in the Naqada police district in Qena Governorate.

Arrest of the Mother and Child Rescue

After completing legal procedures, authorities arrested the mother along with her 5-year-old child, who appeared in the video.
