Dead baby in front of La Rosada: the hospital let the parents go because they gave an address

The inexplicable death of a 3-month-old baby in front of the Casa Rosada added a new chapter.

The case occurred on Friday morning when the little girl was sleeping outdoors with her twin sister and her parents, all living on the streets.

All questions point to the protocols and state agencies that

Until this Monday, there were conflicting versions in the City Government about how they worked on the assistance and support of the family, from which they had already taken away the possession of a 2-year-old boy.

On the one hand, from the Ministry of Health they said that there is a protocol whereby when there is a birth of a woman who is in a street situation, the Council for Children of the City and the Buenos Aires Presente program (BAP) are notified. ) of the Buenos Aires Ministry of Human Development.

And that at the Argerich Hospital there is a team of social workers who are dedicated to this.

Autopsy results are still awaited to determine the cause of death.

On the other, the Ministry of Health is investigating what happened, that is, what happened in each of the instances involved in this case.
