Safonova turned to the embassy for help, she was accepted out of turn. At the reception at the consular department, Safonova was also advised to seek help from lawyers.
The Russian embassy has already contacted the Spanish guardianship authorities: they, in turn, provided reasons for their actions. Details of the situation were not disclosed, but the diplomatic mission promised to monitor the situation and provide assistance to Safonova.

On September 27, the 74.RU website wrote that Tatyana Safonova, a native of the Chelyabinsk region, gave birth in the Spanish city of Jaen. She did not have time to fly home before giving birth. Soon after the birth of the child, representatives of social services in Spain announced that they wanted to take him away, since they considered Safonova an “unsuccessful mother.” She claims that foster parents have already been found for the baby.
