A seven-year-old girl, who suffered violence and sexual abuse at the hands of her parents in Pueblo, Mexico, asked doctors to let her die after she was admitted to Hospital Las Margaritas in critical condition. The youngest said that she feared returning home and would rather die than return to her parents.
Little Yaz entered the emergency room on August 21, according to local press citing the doctors who accompanied the victim, the girl had internal bleeding, a punctured lung, cigarette burns all over her body and severe burns on the back and rape signs.
“I want to die. I don’t want to go back to my parents, they will continue to beat me,” the girl told the doctors. Yaz was taken to the hospital by a neighbor who witnessed one of the episodes of violence.
The parents, Rafael and Alejandra, have already been arrested and charged with domestic violence, assault and child abuse. The boy’s uncle, who will be responsible for the sexual abuse, is on the run from the authorities.
According to Yucatán, in the last year Yaz had already been in the hospital with assaults, cuts and burns, but an investigation was never opened. Police are now also investigating the death of the girl’s younger sister, Mitzi, 3, who died in June, according to an autopsy, “from accidental suffocation.”
