A 5-month-old child from Saint-Michel-sur-Orge died at Necker hospital (Paris), a few days after being admitted there. The little girl had brain injuries undoubtedly linked to repeated violence.
The nanny who was in charge was indicted and placed in pre-trial detention. “Shaken baby” cases, leading to serious injuries or even death, are common in Essonne or elsewhere. The number of child victims is estimated to be around 500 each year in France.
