A month ago, a five-year-old child, due to abuse by his parents, received medical treatment at the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.
The spokesperson of the University Clinical Centre of Kosovo (UCCK) told KosovaPress that the child was discharged from the Pediatric Clinic yesterday.
“In response to the questions posed, based on official data from the Pediatric Clinic, we inform you that the child’s health condition is stable. The child was discharged from the Pediatric Clinic yesterday. He was taken over by the Centre for Social Work in Gjakova,” the statement reads.
The Minister for Labour and Family, Andin Hoti, has received the final report on the handling of the family’s case involving the five-year-old from Janjevë in Lipjan by the Centre for Social Work. The report was received late on Wednesday afternoon by the Division for the Inspection of Social and Family Services.
Minister Hoti himself confirmed exclusively for KosovaPress that the report’s findings conclude that the Centre for Social Work, as well as other institutions, were responsible in this case, and he announced punitive measures for all those identified for improper handling of the case.
A month ago, the case of the five-year-old shocked the country. Due to abuse by his parents, he received treatment in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.
For his two parents, the Basic Court in Pristina ordered pre-trial detention. Meanwhile, the six other children of the family have been taken under the care of the Centre for Social Work in Lipjan.
