The girl’s parents were charged Jan. 20. The father faces charges of sexual assault, aggravated assault and sexual interference, and both are charged with failing to provide the necessaries of life. He’s 52, she’s 31.
The Lethbridge Police Service said there has been an outpouring of support for the child in the form of numerous messages to the police. The infant is being treated at the Alberta Children’s Hospital in Calgary.
“She is receiving the highest level of care and all her needs are currently being met by her caregivers,” said LPS in a Monday news release.
Police were called to check on the girl’s welfare after receiving reports she was being abused on Jan. 18, finding the baby in medical distress and both of her parents home. The girl was transported to hospital by ambulance.
“(An) investigation determined the baby had been assaulted and sexually assaulted multiple times over the past six weeks,”
police said at the time.
An LPS sergeant told Postmedia last week that if or when the girl recovers, she’ll be turned over to provincial child protection officials.
Police did not identify the parents by name but noted them as a 52-year-old man and a 31-year-old woman.
