“I spoke with him last night, he doesn’t know anything, he is made to believe he is on vacation, I told him he has to tell me (…) he told me that he was on a farm where God lives and that he should live there forever,” Leal said. .
Jorge Morales, 45, and his mother, Liliam Peña, 68, were arrested by Canadian authorities.
Jojo has to come home tonight or tomorrow morning, her mum says she is looking forward to that moment.
