Father's Agony as Newborn Baby 'Killed by Boy, 6, Who Was Let Loose on Hospital Ward'
LILLE, NORTHERN FRANCE, JUL 16 – The six-year-old boy was allowed to roam freely and treated the premature baby like a doll, leading to her fatal brain injury after days in intensive care, police said.
- On Friday, a six-year-old visitor dropped Zayneb-Cassandra in the neonatal unit at Jeanne-de-Flandre Children's Hospital in Lille, where she was treated like a doll.
- A grandmother told Voix du Nord that he ran hallways and entered rooms unattended, and other mothers and a nurse complained about his behavior, implying a lack of supervision.
- The Lille Judicial Police Service’s juvenile unit has opened an investigation, and she was declared dead on Tuesday, with hospital staff now probing the incident.
- The family said they have received no apology from the hospital, while the hospital announced an internal inquiry.
- Since the incident, the parents have had no contact with the boy's mother or father, raising questions about future safety protocols and family support.
