A father in Adelaide has been denied bail after his three-month-old daughter suffered severe injuries that have resulted in permanent brain damage. The incident took place at a home in Mawson Lakes, where the 34-year-old was arrested by the police. He was reportedly found hiding in a laundry cupboard. The father, who has five children, has been charged with aggravated assault and criminal neglect.
According to reports, the father was taking care of his children on October 13 when he caused a severe brain injury to his daughter. She had to be hospitalized for six weeks and is now diagnosed with cerebral palsy and possible permanent blindness. The father claimed that the baby slipped out of his arms and hit her head on the floor. However, when the mother returned home, she noticed that her daughter's eyes were not focusing and immediately called for an ambulance.
The father's brother came to his defense, stating that he has been a loving and responsible father for the past 10 years. He urged people to ask others about his brother's character. The brother also mentioned that the father and his wife did everything they could for the baby, who had fallen asleep after a cuddle.
However, the police have alleged that the injuries were not accidental and that the baby was intentionally thrown. The severity of the injuries was taken into consideration by the magistrate, who refused the father's application for bail. He will remain in custody until his next court appearance in April.
In the meantime, the child is under the care of her grandmother. The family is devastated by the incident and is praying for the baby's recovery. The community has also expressed shock and concern over the incident. It is a tragic reminder to always be vigilant and careful when taking care of young children.
