An ultra-Kirchnerist former childhood official reported for six sexual abuses in a children's home

A new scandal is shaking the province of Buenos Aires and is striking directly at the institutional framework that Kirchnerism built in the name of human rights and the protection of children. A former Buenos Aires provincial official, with active involvement in Human Rights organizations and a senior position in the Childhood and Adolescence area, has been accused of at least six instances of sexual abuse against minors in a historic home in the city of La Plata.

The accused is G. D. F., who served as director of the Region of Care Homes within the Provincial Agency for Childhood and Adolescence, which reports to the Ministry of Community Development of Buenos Aires Province. After the complaint became known, he was removed both from his provincial position and from his role within Hogar Obra Padre Cajade.

The complaint was filed at least two weeks ago by relatives of the alleged victims. According to the judicial filing, the incidents allegedly began around 2015 and were repeated over several years. In total, at least six episodes of abuse are under investigation. Some of the complainants are now adults, while others are between 15 and 18 years old.

According to the initial information in the case file, the abuses allegedly took place inside Hogar Obra Padre Cajade, an institution that has operated for more than 30 years as a shelter for minors in vulnerable situations in the city of La Plata.

The case became significantly more public after a report published by a local outlet, which stated that F. was one of the adults who was in charge during the night shifts at the institution.

After the case was opened, Hogar del Padre Cajade decided to remove him immediately, banning him from entering any of its facilities and from having any type of contact with the children. Meanwhile, the Provincial Agency for Childhood and Adolescence removed him from the senior position he held, a decision that, according to the Ministry headed by Andrés "El Cuervo" Larroque, is final.

The investigation is in the hands of UFI No. 11 of La Plata, led by prosecutor Álvaro Garganta. So far, the accused has not been arrested. The victims' relatives have expressed their fear that he might flee the country and have warned that he is a person "with political connections and influence". Judicial sources have acknowledged that this is a "complex case" and have confirmed that various evidentiary measures have already been ordered.

The Ministry has stated that there is an ongoing judicial process and has emphasized that the removal was immediate once the complaint became known. "Today we will have a meeting to address that issue", a spokesperson for the ministry stated.

G. D. F. is the son of human rights activists who were victims of state terrorism during the last dictatorship in Argentina. In addition, he is the cousin of the 84th recovered grandchild, which links him directly to Human Rights organizations in La Plata.

Within Hogar del Padre Cajade, he served as a "popular educator". He did not have a qualifying teaching degree, but rather held a position that was created and trained within the organization itself. The educators live with the children, share daily life, and play a central role in supporting them.

His work history also includes a stint at the Buenos Aires Provincial Penitentiary Service. He worked there as an administrative employee at Unit 9 in Villa Elvira. He joined in 2022, requested a job reservation in 2024, returned in May 2025, and a few months later, in November, he requested permanent resignation, according to information from the SPB.

Hogar del Padre Cajade has avoided making statements to the press and has confirmed the dismissal of the accused worker through an official statement. "By decision of the Board of Directors, and in order to safeguard the judicial process, we will only limit ourselves to sharing the statement", a representative of the institution said.

In the released text, they stated that the alleged victims are being supported by the home's professional team and that measures of support and containment have been implemented for the rest of the children.

"We deeply regret the events that have occurred and we are at the disposal of all those who may have been affected. Our absolute priority is the well-being of children and adolescents, and we will continue working toward that goal as we have done for more than 40 years", they stated.

"It is our duty to tell the truth to society and, above all, to our kids, so that they know that in our Obra their voices are heard and respected, and that there is no place for the complicities that adults often weave around this type of situation", they added.

"Making this reality public is very difficult. The limit when it comes to communicating continues to be preserving the integrity of our kids and the care of the youngest ones, without that implying falling into the trap and comfort of silence", they maintained.

Finally, they concluded: "Enabling spaces for listening, believing in the words of our kids, and acting accordingly is one of the pillars of our work. We will continue on that path".
