Three fathers and one mother accuse lawyer Daniel Mercado of orchestrating false sexual abuse claims against their children to block access to them. Interviewed by Telenoche, all were declared innocent but never regained contact with their kids. The report uncovers a potential scam in family cases.
In a Telenoche report aired on November 17, 2025, four parents—three fathers and one mother—link lawyer Daniel Mercado to a network of false sexual abuse allegations. According to their testimonies, Mercado allegedly fabricated cases against them to favor mothers in custody disputes, preventing them from seeing their children.
All the accused were declared innocent after judicial proceedings, but the damage was irreversible: none has been able to resume contact with their kids. The report, featuring video from El Trece, underscores the severity of these practices, labeled as scams in the family realm.
The interviewed parents describe how the false claims ruined their lives, raising alarms about potential abuses in Argentina's family justice system. No ongoing legal actions against Mercado are mentioned in the available sources.
