Health studies to sanction the health centers that treated the allegedly mistreated baby in Barcelona
The child went through three hospitals and a CAP before the protocol was activated
BarcelonaThe Ministry of Health is studying possible sanctions and corrective measures for the health centers that treated the baby allegedly abused in Barcelona, whose parents remain in preventive detention. The child went through the Hospital del Mar, the CAP Roger de Flor, the Hospital Sant Joan de Déu, and the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, which visited him twice and detected a femur fracture. The infant was referred to the Vall d'Hebron Hospital, a reference center for child abuse care, on March 16, after detecting serious injuries in the patient and alleged sexual assaults. It was then that the protocol against child abuse was activated.
When the case became known, the department launched an investigation to analyze the care the baby received during his various visits to health centers. The reasons for the child's care were diverse and of different considerations, and now, as reported by El Periódico and confirmed by Health sources to the ACN, Health takes for granted that there will be sanctions and corrective measures in some of the health centers. The baby was admitted to Vall d'Hebron for a month, the first few days in the ICU, and is now with a foster family, always under the guardianship of the Generalitat.
A few weeks ago, the Prosecutor's Office had already asked the judge investigating the case to question all the doctors who treated the infantto specify the symptoms he had and whether they had detected injuries that could be related to abuse.The parents remain in provisional detentionaccused of the crimes of habitual abuse, very serious injuries, and sexual assault of their son, a child just over a month old. Neither of them had a criminal record.
