In recent hours, a case involving alleged repeated sexual abuse of a 4-year-old boy has come to light, capturing public attention following complaints filed by his mother, who claims the child was victimized by his grandfather and father.
This delicate matter has caused deep concern over the apparent lack of action by judicial institutions and the protection of the child, who has been separated from his mother for four months.
The reported events
According to information shared by Nadia, the child was born into an environment marked by domestic violence conflicts.
It is presumed that, after his parents' separation, the child began visiting his father at the age of 3, also living with his paternal grandfather and grandmother.
It was in this context that, according to the mother, the first signs of abuse emerged, as the child reportedly told her.
In February 2024, a medical report from Médica Uruguaya recorded that the child was admitted to the emergency room with spontaneous accounts of alleged sexual acts perpetrated by his grandfather, supported by gestures the child reportedly imitated and were recorded by Nadia.
After studies by the medical team, it was confirmed that the child had been subjected to presumptive child sexual abuse, presenting physical and emotional symptoms of it.
The mother proceeded to file a complaint.
Subsequently, in April 2024, Nadia reportedly expanded the complaint following new accounts from the child, who described aberrant behaviors attributed to both the grandfather and the father.
The child reportedly commented on this during the psychological assessment being conducted at his healthcare provider.
Medical and psychological reports presented by the mother suggest that the child exhibited sexualized behaviors, anal dilation, injuries in that area, and symptoms consistent with child abuse.
The "Hasta El Hueso Podcast" Complaint
Faced with the system's lack of response, the mother decided to turn to the "Hasta El Hueso Podcast," known for addressing sensitive topics, which dedicated a report exposing the case based on Nadia's accounts and the various evidence provided to the Justice, except, of course, for the audiovisual material where the child recounts and imitates the sexual poses that are part of the "making babies" game he reportedly played with his paternal grandfather.
The alleged irregularities in the judicial process and the lack of effective response from the justice system were highlighted.
This journalistic work has amplified public concern, highlighting the seriousness of the accusations and questioning the role of the institutions responsible for protecting the child.
The judicial response under scrutiny
The case reportedly took a controversial turn when the 6th Turn Sexual Offenses Criminal Prosecutor's Office decided to archive the investigation, allegedly arguing that the collected evidence would not be sufficient to support the reported facts.
According to Nadia, statements from the accused or herself were not taken, the audiovisual and testimonial evidence presented was not considered or even processed, nor was all the compelling documentation provided.
No Gesell Chamber was conducted, no statements were taken from the parties either at the Prosecutor's Office or in the Criminal Court, medical reports were not considered, nor were the confirmed anal injuries, the child was not heard, experts in the field did not intervene, and in just one week, the case was archived.
