The case, unfoldingโ inโ the small port city, highlights the tragic consequences of inadequate childcare โand raises concerns about the well-being of vulnerable infants. โInvestigators are treating the death asโ a potential homicide by omission,โข meaning the parents โare suspected of causing โdeathโ through a โคfailure to act.โ The couple โwas brought beforeโ the Itzehoe District Court โขon Saturday following an emergency call to police on Fridayโค afternoon.
according to a joint statement from the Itzehoe police and public prosecutor’s office, emergency โขservices responded to โฃa call at the family’s homeโ where a doctor pronounced the four-month-old girl dead. Preliminary findings suggest the child’s deathโค was โขlinked to insufficient care.
