Two-Year-Old Severely Injured in Meat Grinder Accident in Vienna-Ottakring

The little daughter was preparing minced meat with the meat grinder in the apartment in Ottakring on February 2, but then briefly left the room. She turned off the device to go to the kitchen but left the plug in the socket. An acquaintance of the woman was still in the living room when the two-year-old approached the meat grinder and then turned it back on. The acquaintance could not intervene in time. The girl lost her left hand. The public prosecutor accuses the mother of grossly neglecting her duty of care and supervision towards her daughter. According to the prosecution, it was not sufficient to turn off the meat grinder before the 28-year-old left the room. She should have also unplugged the device.
