A man attracted a 13-year-old boy to a motel in Braga, after establishing contact with the minor through the Internet. The case was reported to the authorities and involved a very young minor who was manipulated through digital means to go to the establishment.

When the boy's mother finally managed to contact her son, after being warned by acquaintances, the boy had already been at the motel. The intervention was made in time to avoid more serious consequences for the minor.

The 13-year-old young man ended up being assisted by the Red Cross, which provided support to the minor after the incident. The competent authorities were alerted to the case, which is being investigated.
