Delegate Luana Medeiros, responsible for the investigation, stated that parents advised their children to hide the injuries. The children would wear long clothes and would be instructed to make up stories to justify the marks on their bodies. The police also analyzed the structure of the family's residence. The place is a small wooden house, without doors, where the rooms were divided only by cloth. According to the delegate, the configuration of the space indicates that there would be no way for the boy's screams not to be heard during the beating. The investigation investigates the mother's conduct and assesses, through psychic examinations that will still be carried out on the children, whether she was simply silent in relation to the death and attacks or whether she also carried out torture. In a separate investigation, the Civil Police is investigating signs that Mayanna suffered physical and psychological violence from her husband. The civil police of Santa Catarina and São Paulo sent copies of incidents that indicate signs of mistreatment committed by the family in these states between 2024 and 2025. The Federal Police (PF) and Interpol were also called to check the foreigners' background and the family's legal status in Brazil. The police are investigating possible failures in the protection network in Viamão, where the family lived, to clarify what measures were adopted in response to signs of mistreatment.
