A 5-month-old baby in intensive care with serious lesions in his oral cavity, his father in prison accused of abusing him .
A terrible case of abuse of a newborn has been discovered in a hospital in Padua, where the young father, a 22-year-old, continued to abuse his son and was caught red-handed by the police.
The family lives in the province of Vicenza, has another small child and everything happened without the mother knowing. The father himself accompanied the child to the emergency room in Padua a few days ago for respiratory problems. But during the visit the pediatricians noticed that the child's oral cavity had serious lesions, a sign of mutilations inexplicable if not with a case of violence and abuse.
The doctors wasted no time and reported the facts to the police and the Flying Squad immediately took action, mobilizing the section specialized in crimes against minors and informing the Prosecutor's Office.
The first tests showed that the child's conditions had even worsened compared to the time of hospitalization , and the only people who approached him, in addition to doctors and nurses, were his parents. So microcameras were placed in the hospital , which confirmed: " During visiting hours in the ward, when the father was sure he was alone and not seen by doctors and nurses, he committed torture and violent acts against the child, causing him serious injuries ." The officers broke into the hospital room and surprised him while he was "manipulating" the child's oral cavity .
Arrested in flagrante delicto, the man did not say a word and did not resist. He also remained silent before the investigating judge, who ordered his detention in prison during the validation hearing. The 22-year-old is accused of mistreatment in the family and serious injuries.
