At the kitchen table with her grandmother, the memory of the story in which she sought to protect her grandparents arises between laughter and glance. The close relationship shown by Mauricia and Agustín was the driving force that brought him to face an armed man.
At the time of the incident, "I was writing letters to my best friend because the birthday is coming". This diary
Mauricia, who helped her in this task, went to her room to change and when she looked out the window, she saw three strangers beat her husband

At that moment three things happened: the thief's weapon was activated for the last time, Mauricia shouted to them "To my little- you did not touch him "and those who boarded the car escaped at full speed
" When I saw him point by his grand-son I am desperate, "said the woman.
The trance left the child "trembling with fear". The car was finally abandoned in 513 between 10 and 10 bis.
With the emotions of a night loaded with two dramatic minutes, the dream reached him quickly. "I ate and slept," he says.
The "mania" of pulling the curtain and looking out the window of the room has a practical explanation, explains Mauricia: "Last year I did it involuntarily and I saw two young people They climbed a tree to enter the house opposite, I came to warn the neighbors, because we were all talking in the neighborhood, and I ran to the screaming. "
However, the same people tried the maneuver later, and again the teacher "chased" them immediately. This second time "pruned the plants directly" to avoid a third.
FROM HERO TO THE FLAG
After the holidays and the commotion that caused the incident, Augustine had to return to his daily life, Upon his arrival yesterday, a surprise l & # 39; waiting.
"We had already been warned not to miss the two grandparents, but we thought it was for the act," said Mauricia.

"For his grandmother, the mess is not such." In the end, all the world ends. "
" WE MUST INVEST US "
Towards the end of the afternoon, about 50 meters from the house of the Mateos, about thirty neighbors of the area came out to demand an answer to what they describe as a daily drama in which the 12-year-old boy with a stick, alarms on the street and homes, bars and family information Dedicated to dodge drones, appear where it is not the state.

In 518, from 7 to 5, the lights indicating several speakers installed on the power lines were flashing. Neighbors kick them out of their homes when they feel in danger.
As the conversation with the police officer progressed around the corner of streets 7 and 518, two police motorcycles bowed. "We still need it now that we're all here and the cameras are not needed," sarcastically withdrew. "We need more police," insisted another neighbor in front of Commissioner Claure and did a bit of history: "Before, we had a police station in 8 and 509. Then they l? moved to 13 and 512. Finally, it came to us from Ringuelet, but our police station is in Tolosa, "he said.
