The Policía Nacional arrested the parents of a month-old baby who they had taken to hospital with burns and internal injuries.

It was actually the mother who took the baby girl to the A&E of the Maternity Hospital in Málaga last Sunday because of the child’s injuries, some of which were burns.

There were also bite marks but it appears that it was the young toddler brother who had made them.

The doctors, upon examining the victim, discovered possible internal injuries, for which she was immediately hospitalised in the Paediatric ICU. The hospital authorities, following the set protocol, informed the police.

Consequently, officers arrested the parents, aged 24 and 27, suspected of domestic abuse and GBH (Grievous Bodily Harm).

Incredibly, this is the second incident in only 24 hours involving a baby in Málaga after a baby girl died. The parents had put the baby in their own bed and during the night one of them had rolled onto it whilst they slept, causing asphyxiation.
