The video of a baby 'abduction' on the AP-7: real or staged?
A video circulating for weeks shows two women smashing a car window at a service area on the AP-7 motorway in Spain and taking what appears to be a baby from the front seat. The grainy, slow-motion footage has sparked intense debate: some see it as a real abduction; others, as a crude staged scene.
The video evidence
In the recording, the car pulls over, two individuals approach, a woman strikes the window with an object and another pulls out what looks like a baby. The driver, instead of chasing the attackers, leans over through the passenger door and returns to his seat. For sceptics, that behaviour is unnatural. 'If your child is stolen from you, you get out of your door and run after them,' they point out. Others note that the supposed baby's legs seem limp, like those of a doll.
The AP-7 context
An article by ABC dated May 2024 revealed that an organised gang was targeting tourists' cars on the AP-7, with the cooperation of Civil Guard officers. The operation dismantled several agents who recovered stolen vehicles for resale. The modus operandi described —stopping the car, smashing a window and taking valuables— resembles the one in the video, although no babies were mentioned in that case.
Media silence and alternative theories
No mainstream media outlet has reported the alleged abduction. Some interpret the video as a fake created to spread alarm, or even a re-enactment of a previous crime. Others link the incident to broader theories about child disappearances and child trafficking, citing data from the Centro Nacional de Desaparecidos (Spain's national centre for missing persons) warning that between 15 and 25 children go missing every week in Spain. However, official sources have not confirmed the incident.
The video remains unverified. The question that lingers is: if it is real, why is there no police alert? If it is fake, what is the aim of sowing antiestéticar on the roads?
