The mother of a 4-year-old boy and her partner are being investigated by the Agrigento prosecutor's office for mistreatment and after the child was taken to hospital in Catania with serious injuries to the fingers, toes and testicles and with burns presumably caused from cigarettes.

The investigation was launched right after the report of the hospital medical staff who took care of the little one.

The investigations by the mobile team, directed by Giovanni Minardi, were supported by environmental and telephone interceptions which, according to the indictment, "made it possible to reveal serious indications of guilt " against the two suspects who allegedly beat the little boy "with a body blunt force , causing serious injuries to the fingers, toes and scrotal sac".
