The police rush to the apartment after receiving a report of domestic violence.
Moments later, a girl descends into her caretaker's arms.
[Neighbors: I don't think you're hitting with your hands, but with a stick.
The kids just go to sleep.
'Stop mom!, stop daddy!'
I can also hear this...]
I looked at the child and saw that his calf was full of bruises.
A three-year-old girl who hasn't even taken off her diaper has a full cast on her leg, unable to walk or sit.
Her younger brother, one-year-old, had to undergo surgery at the hospital for a fractured skull.
The father and stepmother in their 30s were arrested by the police on the 4th for violating the Child Welfare Act.
During the police investigation, the child said, 'I was sleeping and my mother kept hitting me with a blunt.'
'Dad stepped on it.'
'Dad held her head and mom held her legs,' she said.
It was started when the father and stepmother quarreled while traveling with the family after eating at a restaurant.
Those who left the store argued for a long time in front of this crosswalk.
As a result of the police investigation, it is known that the assault continued inside the house after returning home.
The father and stepmother came to the hospital at first saying that the children had been in a car accident, but the hospital suspected abuse and reported it to the police.
Her biological father and her stepmother have denied any assault.
They never hit or threatened, they said, only saying that the child was injured in a fall in the house.
However, the police applied for an arrest warrant saying there were suspicions, and the court issued a warrant and arrested them.
