Babysitter throws baby, locks sister (3) in ice-cold cage | Abroad

That writes Het Laatste Nieuws. When the parents of the children recently came to collect their offspring, the surviving mother from Moorsel pretended her nose was bleeding. Everything had gone well. “As always, hey.”

The parents soon noticed that there was more going on. The boy vomited constantly. His parents called Elke again. Hadn’t something happened after all? No, and ‘children still vomit all the time’, was the answer. Moments later she came up with another explanation: the baby had fallen and she had ‘forgotten to say’.

Locked in a cage

The parents drove to the hospital where the serious abuse was discovered. The boy had brain trauma and the doctors could not say whether he would survive. Previous assaults also came to light.

When the parents also went to talk to their 3-year-old daughter, the girl said, “I never want to go back to that lady.” Later she started to say more, jerking and jerking. The babysitter had roughly thrown the baby into the crib. The toddler himself received ‘punishment’ and was locked up in a cage. Outside. The temperature at that time was 6 degrees. The girl sat there for half a day, according to Flemish media, until just before the parents arrived.

Declaration

The parents filed a report, the babysitter was interrogated. She confessed to the harsh treatment of the baby, as well as previous violence. The baby was an “unruly child,” said the woman. The parents will not stop there. “I can only say that these are very serious facts,” said their lawyer. Elke M.’s license has since been withdrawn. The children she had under her care get a new nanny mother.

The baby was operated on to relieve pressure on the brain and was still fighting for his life in the hospital on Friday.
