Evil Pretoria parents have been handed an effective 14-year prison sentence for beating their six-month-old daughter and leaving her with 31 broken bones in their baby’s tiny little body.

The couple broke 31 bones in the baby’s body between March 2020 and July 2020.

The baby girl, referred to as Baby N, was first admitted to a Pretoria hospital in April 2020 with injuries consistent with child abuse. She was only five-weeks-old at the time.

Her doctors and a private social worker then laid a complaint with the police and the Department of Social Development. The allegations included that the baby’s ribs were fractured in 15 places.

EVIL PARENTS BREAK 31 BONES IN BABY’S BODY

While initially investigated and the child placed into care, the police informed the doctors that the case was closed due to a lack of evidence. Baby N was returned to the care of her parents.

Barely three months later, on 1 July 2020, Baby N was admitted again with pneumonia, shock, and dehydration. She was underweight and ravenously hungry.

AfriForum’s Private Prosecution Unit spokesperson Barry Bateman says further tests indicated that her collarbone had fractured two to three weeks before admission.

BABY HAD SEVERAL FRACTURED RIBS

“An MRI scan showed injuries that were most probably caused by the baby being violently shaken. Both the baby’s femurs were broken, and the signs of several fractured ribs were still visible. The doctors who examined her all agreed that it was likely the result of the baby being repeatedly abused.”

It was then that the doctors approached the Unit. Following further pressure from the Unit, the police arrested the couple, and the prosecution ensued. 

Their conviction and hefty sentence would not have been possible without the intervention of the uni. The Unit assisted doctors in opening a criminal case – after the first case they reported was inexplicably closed.

PARENTS INTEND TO CAUSE GRIEVOUS BODILY HARM

The parents denied the allegations but were found guilty of assault with the intention to cause grievous bodily harm and child neglect. The criminal complaint was filed on 24 July 2020.

Pretoria High Court Judge Hennie de Vos sentenced the couple to 14 years in prison on 24 February 2023.

Bateman praised the doctors and social workers who refused to allow the child to suffer.

“Without the intervention of the doctors and other professionals, this baby might have died at the hands of her parents. We need medical professionals and caregivers who encounter such instances to take a stand, as is required of them by law.
