Despite numerous hematomas and broken bones, a small child in Tyrol was not taken to the doctor. Who was responsible for the injuries could not be clarified during a trial at the regional court in Innsbruck. In any case, the 23-year-old mother admitted to having made mistakes.
“I should have taken her to the doctor,” a 23-year-old woman from Oberland cried in front of Innsbruck judge Paul Menardi on Tuesday. Despite numerous bruises and bleeding on the face and body, three broken ribs and a serious injury to the tibia, the young mother of five with her not yet two-year-old Helena (name changed by the editors) did not go to a hospital. “During a previous treatment in the hospital, I was once portrayed as hysterical, I wanted to avoid that,” the defendant himself justified.
The prosecutor could only shake her head at this “excuse”. “We can’t all imagine how much pain the child had to go through.” She shared the judge’s opinion: “Just looking at the pictures with all the injuries gives you chills.”
Mystery about injuries to the little girl
“My client was naive and was negatively influenced by her new, now ex-partner,” said the lawyer. She allowed herself to be convinced that everything wasn’t so bad after all. Who inflicted the serious injuries on the little one will probably forever remain a mystery. The procedure for this has been stopped.
Because she had neglected her daughter, the 23-year-old was now – not yet legally binding – imposed a semi-conditional fine of 1440 euros.
