The investigation shows that physical injuries against children had been carried out for at least eight years. The eldest son, now 9 years old, would have been attacked since he was at least 1 year old. According to her, children were taught by their parents to lie and say that they had fallen, broken a bone or injured themselves while playing or running. The children have not yet undergone psychic examination, according to the delegate. She explained that this procedure, carried out with a psychologist, has already been scheduled. The delegate stated that, while one child was being beaten, the others watched. "And if they looked sad or disagreed with what was happening, they would also be beaten," he says. "They were always taught to lie, coerced by their parents to lie, not to tell the truth in the hospital." The investigation also investigates the involvement of the mother, Mayanna Angelina Rodgers, in the case. She has North American parents and was born in Japan. Therefore, she has dual citizenship. The delegate stated that, in the beginning, only the father was treated as a suspect in the attempted murder that occurred on Sunday (5). The police point out that there was an omission and that Mayanna, as the children's mother, was the guarantor and could not have remained silent in the face of the torture. The couple's other four children were sent to institutional care after the case and, during the care, professionals noticed "marks of aggression" on the children.
