Baby had 23 broken bones

A nine-week-old baby had 23 broken bones in its body. According to the coroner, the child has likely been subjected to repeated violence, but the parents blame a baby carrier, reports Sydsvenskan and HD.

It was in March 2023 that a family came into a hospital in Skåne with the baby. When it became clear that the baby had 23 fractures, the staff alerted social services, and the child was taken into care and placed in an emergency home. The parents also became criminal suspects.

“The child has had extensive injuries and this has been a very complicated case,” says Magdalena Holmberg, senior prosecutor at the Southern Scania Prosecutor’s Chamber, to HD and Sydsvenskan

The parents deny any crime, and believe instead that the injuries may have occurred when the child was carried in a baby carrier that was too tight. According to the coroner, it is unlikely, but at the same time it cannot be ruled out.
