A minor of two years, lost his life after spending several days in an Intensive Care Unit, ICU, in the municipality of San Juan del Cesar (La Guajira), after receiving several blows to his head, as well as injuries and bruises in the back and chest, in an apparent case of domestic violence.
The minor, from the township of Papayal, was admitted last April 30 in critical condition to the Nuestra Señora del Pilar Hospital, in Barrancas, with cranioencephalic trauma. So it was necessary to refer him to a more complex center, being transferred to the San Rafael Hospital where he died.
Initially, one of the versions that began to circulate about the minor’s injuries was that he had fallen out of bed, according to what was reported when he entered the care center in the company of his mother and stepfather.
An inhabitant of Papayal, who preferred to omit his name, assures that the mother left the minor abandoned in the care center and returned to the town. When noticing his absence, the biological father of the minor began to inquire and it was when he learned that he was hospitalized. The minor’s parents are two young migrants who settled in the town about two years ago.
