Published: 2025-02-24

A two-month-old baby with severe head injuries was admitted to the Landesklinikum Wiener Neustadt in Lower Austria.

Doctors suspect shaken baby syndrome, prompting the hospital to alert authorities.

The parents are under investigation for intentional grievous bodily harm and ongoing abuse.

While the baby is not in life-threatening condition, it remains hospitalized.

A court-appointed expert will analyze the injuries to determine their cause and assess the parents' explanations.

The family, which includes another child, is under the supervision of child welfare services.

No arrests have been made as there is no urgent suspicion against a specific individual.
