In Neuquén, a case emerged that generated strong shock: a baby was born with cocaine in his blood and his parents were accused of abandoning him in the hospital shortly after birth. The little one remains hospitalized at the Castro Rendón Hospital, where doctors immediately activated protection protocols.
According to family members, the baby's grandmother and paternal aunt expressed their willingness to take care of him and are already awaiting a resolution from the Justice system to proceed with custody. In the meantime, the baby is stable but under strict medical supervision.
A close friend of the family revealed that the couple has addiction problems and that is why they decided to help the grandmother and the aunt. “They found cocaine in the baby's blood,” she revealed with concern. The infant shows symptoms consistent with neonatal withdrawal, and professionals are evaluating possible complications due to prenatal exposure to substances.
The Ministry of Health confirmed that the child is in good general condition and receives continuous care. Child welfare agencies and judicial authorities are already involved in the case to define his future.
The family seeks to take charge
The aunt, contacted by the hospital, accepted along with her mother the responsibility of raising the baby. Following this decision, a close friend initiated a solidarity campaign to gather essential items. “The hospital contacted the aunt to see if she would take charge, and they decided that she would,” she explained.
