Due to the baby’s health condition, doctors determined that she needed to be transferred to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at the University Hospital in Rio to be intubated; with the latest reports indicating that she has been extubated.
The police officers investigating the case determined that the severe deterioration in the infant’s health was due to systematic starvation inflicted by his own parents (the father is 21 and the mother is 26).
Following this discovery, police arrested the 21-year-old man and the 26-year-old woman, and charges were filed against them for attempted murder with possible intent, combined with a violation of the law regardingdomestic violence.
The child is expected to be examined today by a medical examiner to determine whether the bite marks on his legs were caused by rodents.
