Dandre's wife, Oliver's mother, was also arrested this Thursday. A city hall report points out that the municipal public authorities received warnings about attacks against children months before the crime. Furthermore, the family had already been monitored in São Paulo and Santa Catarina, where they lived. According to the document, which is part of an investigation initiated by the municipality of Viamão, a health center notified the protection network on December 4, 2025. The medical unit reported a significant facial injury in one of the children and marks on the arms of another. ?

The case was discussed in three meetings of the municipal protection network, with no record of new interventions until last Sunday (5), when the three-year-old boy was allegedly beaten by his father. The mayor of Viamão, Rafael Bortoletti, informed that a meeting was scheduled to decide on placing the children in a shelter. The Chief Executive admitted the municipality’s omission. "We failed. We failed as human beings, we failed as a service network, we failed as city hall," he stated. The history of suspected mistreatment extends to two other states. In Águas de Lindóia (SP), a police investigation was opened, which was archived after the Public Prosecutor's Office requested further steps to produce evidence, which was not carried out. The São Paulo Public Ministry (MPSP) reported that the family moved and the case was passed on to Palmitos (SC). The Santa Catarina Public Ministry (MPSC) monitored the family nucleus from February 2025, with intervention from the Judiciary. The family had lived in a rural area of ??Viamão since September last year. Neighbors reported concern about the mother's routine, who walked long distances along dirt roads to take her children to school.
