Mother is arrested on suspicion of attacking her son after he suffered 2nd degree burns to the genital region in AL

According to the Civil Police, the woman, whose name was not released, was arrested at the daycare center where her son studies. Guardianship counselors presented the police with photographs showing the child's injuries.

When questioned, the suspect stated that the injuries occurred during the potty training process and that the boy himself had caused the injuries.

Despite the justification, the police decided to deepen the investigation due to the characteristics of the injuries recorded in the images.

The child was taken to Rio Largo Hospital, where he received medical care. Her health status was not reported.

The boy remained under observation at the health unit, under the care of the Guardianship Council, pending an evaluation by a pediatric surgeon.

The woman was taken to Central de Flagrantes, in the Tabuleiro dos Martins neighborhood, in Maceió, where she was charged with intentional bodily injury.
