Overview
- The Public Prosecutor initially seeks 15 years in prison, €35,000 in compensation to the child’s mother, and the withdrawal of parental authority for the duration of any sentence.
- Hospital doctors at Son Espases diagnosed the infant with a fractured right clavicle, fractures to both humeri, broken ribs and a subdural hematoma that required admission and raised concerns about long-term harm.
- Police from the National Police family unit (UFAM) arrested both parents after the January 25–26, 2025 incident that triggered the hospital alert, and a judge later archived the case against the mother.
- The trial, which was due to start this week with about 20 witnesses listed, was suspended after the defense produced a forensic report saying the injuries could be compatible with an accidental fall and the prosecution asked for time to analyse it.
- The Universitat de les Illes Balears has temporarily suspended the accused pedagogy professor from his duties and replaced him while the evidentiary dispute continues and the criminal case develops.
