Overview

  • Mexico City police detained a 19-year-old after C2 Poniente operators flagged her allegedly assaulting her 25-day-old baby on San Diego Street in San Bartolo Ameyalco.
  • The SSC said officers found the woman in a possible state of intoxication, secured the newborn for care, and referred both to the specialized child-crimes prosecutor.
  • In La Plata, Buenos Aires province, police responding to a family conflict detained both parents of a six-month-old after medical exams found lesions on the infant.
  • Investigators in La Plata seized a screwdriver as potential evidence, and the UFI N°5 led by prosecutor Juan Ignacio Mennucci is directing forensic steps with court oversight.
  • Both minors remain under protective custody for medical follow-up while the adults’ legal status is determined through ongoing investigative and prosecutorial actions.
