SpainThe mother of the abused baby in Barcelona has denied to the court that she assaulted the child or witnessed any mistreatment, stating she would have reported it to the police if she had known. However, she admitted to searching online for information about anal fissures and other injuries. The woman, who is under investigation, provided this account voluntarily after being released on bail while the father remains in preventive custody. She claimed she was unaware that her husband was responsible for the abuse but acknowledged that he treated the child 'with clumsiness and lack of affection.' Both parents were on leave at the time of the incident and took turns caring for the infant. According to the mother, the father mentioned that the baby’s leg was hanging loosely, prompting them to take him to the hospital. However, medical professionals who examined the child before his emergency admission did not find signs of abuse or anal fissures, contradicting the mother’s claims.
