"Nieto Recuperado"-Born to Parents Disappeared by Argentina's Dictatorship, Kidnapped and Raised by a Military Family, a "Recovered Grandchild" Finds His Way Home
We speak with Manuel Gonçalves, a "nieto recuperado," or a "recovered grandchild," in Argentina. He is one of the thousands of children born to parents who were disappeared during the dictatorship. These children were born in captivity, then kidnapped by the military and given away to government supporters or military families. Some of them have found their way back to their families. Ref. Source 1
I wish we had death penalty in Argentina so people (just a term in his case) like him could be put to death immediately.

Ex-Argentine dictators jailed for baby thefts:
Three key figures from Argentina's "Dirty War" got hefty jail terms for the systematic theft of babies from political prisoners during the 1976-1983 dictatorship, an Argentine court ruled on Thursday. Ref. Source 2
In another horrid case, there is 30,000 people in Argentina disappeared without a trace. We know that they are dead but the families of these people can't even say that their relatives are dead because they don't have a dead body to prove it. I interviewed a infamous ex-police officer that was a torturer in the dark 70's of the military government in Argentina. He participated in the disappearance of people during that time.When I asked him in the interview if he was a torturer, he was silent for a long time and then answered, "Well, I consider myself like the hard type", but he didn't respond to the my question... Or he did?.
En otro horrendo hecho, hay 30,000 personas desaparecidas en la Argentina sin ningun rastro de su paradero. Sabemos que están muertos pero los familiares no pueden ni aun decir que sus familiares están fallecidos [Yes] que no tienen un cuerpo muerto que lo pruebe. Tuve una entrevista con un ex-oficial de policÃa que fue un torturador en los oscuros 70's de gobierno militar en Argentina. El participó en la desaparición de gente durante aquel tiempo. Cuando le pregunte si el habÃa sido un torturador, hizo un gran silencio y respondió, " Pues, me considero como el tipo duro" Pero no respondió a mi pregunta...o lo hizo?
