Overview
- The father, held in pretrial detention at Brians 1, was identified and beaten by inmates and has been moved to protective housing, according to prison sources.
- Prosecutors are collecting broad records beyond the family to trace the origin of the injuries, and both parents remain jailed without bail on charges that include habitual maltreatment, very serious injuries and sexual assault.
- Before abuse was flagged, the six-week-old was seen at a primary care clinic and at Hospital del Mar, Sant Joan de Déu and Sant Pau, where doctors later found a femur fracture and anal tears and transferred the baby to Vall d’Hebron.
- Forensic doctors reported evolving injuries that develop over time and said the genital bruises and anal wound did not match a urine‑collection bag used during an early visit.
- The baby remains in the neonatal ICU under child-protection custody, and health officials say survival is likely but lasting neurological or organ damage is possible.
