The State Prosecutor's Office has appealed to the Supreme Court for a harsher sentence for a father convicted of severe abuse against his infant son, starting from when the child was just one month old. The father was previously sentenced to one year in prison for habitually suffocating his son until he lost consciousness as a method of putting him to sleep. Prosecutors argue that the current sentence does not reflect the severity of his actions.
According to the court's ruling, the father physically abused his infant son for several months, employing methods such as pinching, biting, and shaking. When the baby cried in the evenings, the father would place two fingers on the child's neck until he briefly lost consciousness and stopped crying. The court determined that the father used smothering the baby to the point of unconsciousness as a technique to induce sleep.
