Violence Against Babies: Two Fathers in Wiener Neustadt in Court

The accused is charged in the jury trial with continued violence and child abduction. The man is said to have repeatedly grabbed his son by the upper body and shaken him since his birth at the end of December 2024, causing him to suffer a skull-brain trauma, brain hemorrhages, and fractures. The mother is still under investigation and is on the run.

Accused is in pre-trial detention

The infant was taken to the hospital in February, and charges were filed against the parents. The father is said to have taken the baby unnoticed from the hospital where it was admitted with the mother and taken it away. The accused is in pre-trial detention. Investigations against the mother for continued violence and child abduction are ongoing, Erich Habitzl, spokesperson for the Wiener Neustadt public prosecutor's office, said on Monday upon request. The woman is said to have fled abroad with the infant and his older sister.

Another father in court in Wiener Neustadt

Another father must also face court in Wiener Neustadt this Wednesday. The man is alleged to have administered a liquid that was too warm to his two-month-old child this April, causing scalds. Subsequently, he is said to have patted the baby on the back, which likely resulted in a series of rib fractures. The infant was brought to the Wiener Neustadt hospital on April 1, and charges were filed. The man must face a single-judge trial for serious bodily harm.
