Mother of Artemisa seeks help to identify the man who took her son's umbrella from a small business

A mother from Bahía Honda, Artemisa, has sought public help to identify a man who took her son's umbrella from a private establishment, an incident that has sparked outrage on social media.

The complaint was published by Yamile Rubio in the Facebook group Revolico Bahía Honda, where she reported that her husband went with their child to a small business in the municipality and left the umbrella in a corner to avoid getting the floor wet.

Upon exiting, she discovered that someone had taken it, a moment captured by the establishment's security cameras.

"Please, I need help identifying the man in the blue cape and yellow cap," wrote Rubio, who clarified that he was not reporting the matter for the value of the object, but for the gesture.

"He didn't care that my child had to leave soaked," she added.

The shared images show the person in charge taking the umbrella and leaving the location.

The post generated numerous comments from users who expressed their regret over the incident and offered support to help identify the perpetrator, while also denouncing the insecurity experienced by the population of Bahía Honda and the callousness of the thief in targeting a child.

Amidst the growing deterioration of social coexistence in Cuba, citizen reports of petty thefts have gained traction on social media.

A mother from Baracoa publicly expressed her outrage following the theft of a children's backpack on a public transport, allegedly committed by a woman traveling alongside her.

The stolen item contained personal belongings and school materials belonging to her son, which caused a strong emotional reaction from the mother.

These kinds of incidents are not isolated. Just last year, another Cuban mother made a desperate plea on social media to recover her twin sons' car, which was stolen in broad daylight on a central street in Havana.

The report generated widespread solidarity among internet users but also reflected the lack of institutional responses to crimes considered "minor," which deeply affect vulnerable families.
