CURITIBA, PR (FOLHAPRESS) - A father was caught this Sunday (5) kicking his three-year-old daughter on a sidewalk, in the city of Francisco Beltrão, Paraná. His name was not released. The attack was recorded by security...
The attack was recorded by security cameras and the video began circulating on social media. From there, the Civil Police opened an investigation to confirm the identities of the victim and suspect.
The man went to the police station on Wednesday (8) to give a statement. He was interviewed and released. This Thursday (9), however, he ended up arrested. According to the police, the investigation showed that there is evidence that the attack was not the only one committed by him.
In the video, the father appears walking on the sidewalk with his daughter and a five-year-old boy, who would be his stepson. They carry bags with shopping. It is possible to see in the images that he turns to his daughter and kicks her in the face, causing her to fall to the ground.
The video has no sound, but another man who would have seen the attack immediately approaches and opens his arms, apparently questioning the situation and trying to intervene. The father makes a gesture repelling the man's approach and the child soon gets up. The three walk back down the sidewalk.
According to the Civil Police, the father confirmed the attack in a statement. "He claimed that he was motivated by the child's crying, but he said he did not fully remember the facts", says a statement from the corporation.
Segundo o delegado Anderson Andrei, a prisão preventiva foi autorizada pela Justiça Estadual principalmente porque a investigação identificou que há indícios de que o menino de cinco anos, que seria enteado do homem, também já teria sido alvo de uma agressão há algumas semanas.
The delegate stated that, in principle, he should be charged with bodily injury in the context of domestic violence.
The girl was subjected to a physical injury examination and the Civil Police are awaiting the conclusion of the expert report. Nesta quinta, o delegado antecipou que, apesar da imagem forte do vídeo, "aparentemente não houve repercussão maior na integridade física" da criança.
When she found out about the attack on the girl, the mother also registered a police report and left her house for another location, according to the police.
Family members and other witnesses are still being interviewed. Investigators are also looking for more images from surveillance cameras of the route taken by the man and the children that day.
