A father in Oulu is suspected of throwing his two-week-old baby onto a concrete floor, resulting in severe injuries to the infant who is currently hospitalized.
In Oulu, Finland, police are investigating a disturbing incident involving a two-week-old baby allegedly thrown onto a concrete floor by the father. The incident occurred early Friday morning and has left the infant with serious injuries, leading to hospitalization. A neighbor alerted the authorities, prompting an investigation that initially began as a case of aggravated assault but has since escalated to a potential charge of attempted murder against the father.
The police are also looking into allegations of domestic violence, as the father is suspected of assaulting the baby's mother. The police have classified this as a more typical assault, noting that the mother's injuries are less severe than those suffered by the newborn. This dual investigation underscores the serious nature of domestic violence and its potential implications for families and children caught in such situations.
The 1993-born suspect remains in custody under the supervision of the Oulu police and is expected to be presented before a court for a custody hearing today. This case highlights critical issues surrounding child safety and parental responsibility, raising questions about the resources and support available to families who may be struggling with domestic issues. Further updates on the situation are expected as the investigation continues.
