This Sunday, the state of little Eden is described as being “stabilized” by the Charleroi public prosecutor’s office, “but it remains worrying”. “Impossible to guarantee the survival of the infant”we are told.
His mother is at his side in a hospital in La Louvière. Positive sign: we would have started feeding the young baby once more. A decisive stage.

RECALL OF FACTS
A man was charged and placed under arrest warrant on Friday for attempted murder of his two-week-old infant, the Charleroi prosecutor’s office said on Saturday morning, confirming information from Sudinfo. The accused evokes the accidental thesis of a fall from the couch.
The SMUR was requested Thursday rue des Déportés in Courcelles (province of Hainaut) following a call from the mother of a baby born two weeks ago. The latter, who had just left to go shopping in Charleroi with a couple of friends, discovered the worrying state of health of her infant on returning home. “Initially, she was not particularly worried since the baby was in her playpen and her husband was sleeping. At one point, she noticed that something was wrong with the child’s breathing”, commented the Charleroi prosecutor’s office. Transported to hospital, the infant was in a critical state of health.
The infant’s father was heard Friday, charged and placed under arrest warrant for attempted murder. “He should appear before the Charleroi council chamber on Tuesday. The father evokes the accidental thesis, claiming that the infant was the victim of a fall from the couch. But there are variations in his statements”said the prosecution.
The state of the two-week-old baby who was seriously injured in Courcelles remains unstable, despite positive signs of stabilization at the hospitals. The child’s father has been charged for attempted murder, despite claiming the incident was an accidental fall from a couch. The mother of the child is by the infant’s side in a hospital in La Louvière, and they are currently in a decisive stage of recovery. As more information comes to light, we can only hope for the best for this innocent victim.
