Baby in mortal danger: parents in Vienna arrested for abuse!

A new case of alleged child abuse has recently been shaken by the city of Vienna. A nine -week -old infant is in a critical state of health after being hospitalized on May 28, 2025 after a seizure. The child's parents, a 35-year-old German and a 38-year-old Croatian, are suspected of causing serious abuse. According to reports from 5min.at , an emergency operation of the girl was necessary, since it floats in mortal danger.

In the evening of the arrest, around 8:30 p.m., the parents were brought to a prison by the authorities. Both denied the statement about the circumstances that led to the child's serious injuries. The hospital in which the girl is treated has filed a complaint and informed that serious injuries were found to indicate abuse.

Investigations and suspicions

The investigation continues, while child and youth welfare (MA 11) has already been informed about the situation and has taken care of the child for the child. Other children of the couple who are in small children were also brought to a crisis center. This development confirms the worrying situation with regard to the security of minors in Austria, in particular against the background of the Federal Constitutional Act on the rights of children, which guarantees every child the right to non -violent education. The relevant provisions are recorded in the Federal Children's and Youth Welfare Act, such as puls24.at reported.

child protection and interventions

With regard to these sad events, it is crucial to illuminate the existing measures and help for children in Austria. Child protection centers such as "Die Möwe" in Vienna offer support, including crisis intervention, process support and psychotherapy to deal with traumatic experiences. It is of central importance that children who become victims of violence or abuse receive adequate support to help them process the experiences and to assert their rights.

The conditions and protective measures for children in Austria are anchored in the federal child and youth welfare law and regional laws. The awareness of child protection is essential, especially when you consider that a variety of children have become victims of violence in recent years. Authorities and organizations are continuously working on strengthening the rights of children and ensuring that such tragic incidents will be minimized in the future.
