Police Investigate Alleged Shaken Baby Syndrome Case – 3-Month-Old in Critical Condition

A three-month-old baby is fighting for his life at Makarios Hospital, allegedly suffering severe injuries from violent shaking. The baby's 28-year-old father has been placed under a four-day arrest warrant as a suspect for causing grievous bodily harm, endangering a child, child abuse, and other negligent acts that may have resulted in physical harm. The case came to light when the mother took the child to the hospital with illness symptoms, where a brain hemorrhage was discovered, indicating Shaken Baby Syndrome. The infant underwent surgery and is currently hospitalized in the Pediatric ICU in critical condition. Police are investigating the circumstances of the injury, while the father denies any involvement and states he is willing to call the baby's pediatrician as a witness.
