Parents and relatives gathered at SENAF (the national child and family agency) to demand the return of children separated under protective custody, saying they lack information about their location and conditions, while the minister said the measures are temporary and aimed at eventual family reintegration.

Bay Islands officials held a council meeting to coordinate child protection across institutions, establishing three working groups (protection, health, education) and planning to expand the SENAF office from one employee to a regional headquarters with a budget increase to 10 million lempiras.

The child-welfare agency Senaf announced it will enforce laws against exposing minors on social media and news outlets, saying such exposure harms children's emotional well-being and dignity; a human-rights expert urged concrete action, citing data showing 18,000 Honduran children live in street situations or vulnerability.
