A five-month-old baby girl was discharged from the Walter Ferrari Hospital in Jaguariúna, São Paulo, after being hospitalized for six days following an assault by her mother's ex-boyfriend, Guilherme Henrique de Oliveira. The incident occurred on February 17, and while the baby later experienced fever and vomiting, it has not been confirmed that these symptoms were related to the assault. The case has raised public concern over domestic violence and child protection.

Guilherme, the suspect, was apprehended after the incident when the baby's mother secretly recorded the assault during a video call, providing evidence to the authorities. Following his arrest, he was granted provisional freedom by the São Paulo Court of Justice, albeit under certain precautionary measures. This decision has sparked discussions regarding the adequacy of legal responses to domestic violence, especially concerning the safety of child victims.

The baby’s case highlights the urgent need for improved protective measures for vulnerable individuals in domestic contexts. The local Child Protective Services are involved, but the investigation remains sensitive due to the child’s age, and additional details about the progress of the police inquiry have not been disclosed, raising questions about the support systems in place to protect children in such environments.
