Serious questions are being raised about the involvement of government services in the case of the 19-month-old baby

The 19-month-old baby raises serious questions about the timing and mode of action and response of the relevant services to the events that preceded the revelation about the nightmare he experienced, at least for the last twenty days.

Both the Police and the Social Welfare Services were involved in various aspects of the case with the two young parents.

The Minister of Labor, Welfare and Social Security, Zeta Aimilianidou, as early as Monday morning, and from the first moment she was informed that an infant was being treated at Makareio Hospital, and that a medical examiner had been called by a Social Welfare Service official to examine her ordered a full investigation.

A competent source told ANT1 that maybe today
to have a first impression, from the investigation, on the involvement and reaction of the Social Welfare Services.

The data collected by ANT1 from the investigation of the matter, show that the Services have before them a very large file for the two young parents.
In fact, monitoring, especially in relation to the infant's well-being, seems to have been difficult to complete due to the denial of those involved.

Police were first involved in the case in early June, when they received complaints from the Association for the Prevention and Treatment of Violence in the Family, as well as the Hope For Children organization, which spoke of violence against the 24-year-old by the 26-year-old.

He had previously been charged with assaulting a young man by his grandmother for assaulting his mother.

The Scientific Director of SPAVO, Andri Andronikou, in her statements to KYPE, stated that "on 5/6 we received a second report, from another anonymous witness, in 1440 for infant abuse and violence against the minor's grandmother. We did the same procedures, ie informing the Police and Services. I want to make it clear that we have no jurisdiction to investigate incidents. This is a matter for the Social Welfare and Police Services.

Police issued arrest warrants against the two young men on July 3, but following a complaint of assault on the 26-year-old's mother and grandmother.

The young man was arrested, while the 24-year-old disappeared, to appear at a police station last Monday night, in order to surrender.

She had the baby with her, and the police officer who took her testimony noticed the signs of abuse and neglect, so she called the Social Welfare Services, which took care of it.
