Police investigating the serious injuries caused to a young baby in the Hutt Valley are now in a position to provide further information on the baby girl’s injuries.

On 14 June, Police were notified that a three-month-old baby had been brought into hospital by her family.

The baby girl had sustained nine fractures, including throughout her ribcage and a fracture to her ankle and upper arm.

Some of these injuries occurred at different times, and Police are working tirelessly to find the truth about how the injuries were sustained.

“We do not believe that these injuries could have been accidental,” said Detective Senior Sergeant Steve Wescott.

“Police would like to thank everyone who has come forward with information so far, and continue to assess all information as it comes in.

“The baby’s condition is thankfully improving, but we continue to ask for anyone who knows anything about how this baby girl sustained such serious injuries to come forward.

“If you can help, please contact Police via 105, quoting file number 250614/8509.”

You can also provide information anonymously through Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.

  1. How many babies harmed or killed in the last 2 weeks?

    Lock up the parents and anyone else who was present and don’t let them put till someone spills.

    Meanwhile we are still waiting for justice for Ruthless Empire…..

    • Agreed. Name the family. Doorstep them at their house. Shame them. Put their photos in the paper. Where is the family or neighbours?

      So sick to death of the lack of justice in this country.

      • Where is the NZ family court and its agent OT?
        Taking position on crime is a bit harder than demonizing hard-working fathers, sidelining them, creating misery by pretending to protect. The bias against fathers is causing untold and unreported suffering not only for fathers but of course also for children.
