The police have recently shared more images of a man who is suspected of pouring hot coffee over a baby in a park in Brisbane. The unfortunate incident has left the young boy with burns on his face and chest, and his mother is reportedly experiencing recurring memories of the traumatic event.
According to reports, the nine-month-old and his mother were enjoying a nice picnic at Hanlon Park in Stones Corner when they were approached by a stranger around noon on Tuesday. The man allegedly poured a hot liquid over the child before quickly leaving the scene. The Child Protection and Investigation Unit is currently handling the case as a serious assault.
The suspect is described as a man in his 30s or 40s, with a proportional build and tanned skin. He was last seen wearing a black hat, glasses, a shirt, and shorts. Two images have been released by the police in hopes of identifying him, following the release of a video yesterday.
Due to Queensland's laws protecting child victims of crime, neither the baby nor his parents can be named. The mother shared her anguish with 9News, stating that it feels like torture knowing she couldn't protect her own child. She also mentioned that they were immediately taken to their apartment and into the shower after the incident.
The family is unsure if the burns will leave any permanent scars, but the emotional impact is something that will undoubtedly stay with them. The mother continues to have flashbacks of the incident and struggles to understand how anyone could harm an innocent baby.
The community has been left in shock and disbelief over this senseless act of violence. As the investigation continues, the family is grateful for the support they have received and hopes that justice will be served. They also urge anyone with information to come forward and help bring closure to this traumatic experience.
