Four brave children who miraculously survived a harrowing plane crash in Colombia and endured a terrifying 40-day ordeal in the unforgiving jungle are now facing a new danger – they have become targets for potential kidnappers, Your Content has learned.
Tonight at 8 PM ET, FOX will air a remarkable documentary produced by TMZ, chronicling the incredible story of their survival.
However, the film concludes with a haunting question: What lies ahead for these resilient youngsters? Despite their heroic feat, the children, aged 13, 9, 4, and 11 months at the time of the crash, find themselves catapulted into the spotlight as national celebrities.
Local sources in Colombia warn that kidnapping for ransom is an all-too-common occurrence in their country, especially targeting individuals of high-profile status.
As the young survivors continue to recover physically and emotionally, government authorities are grappling with the crucial decision of determining their caretakers, with safety being of paramount concern.
Although one would assume the children’s father would assume custody, a bitter custody battle has erupted between the father, Manuel Ranoque, and the maternal grandparents.
Allegations made by the grandparents claim that Ranoque had subjected the children’s mother to physical abuse, even resorting to the use of a machete.
In response, the father vehemently denies these accusations, asserting that he has never harmed his late wife or their children.
