The babysitter confessed. The 32-year-old from Carpi in prison since Wednesday admitted to having thrown the child from Soliera, in the Modena area, from the second floor, whom she followed for 8 hours a day since January. “She threw the baby out of the window” his lawyer Francesca Neri, outside the Sant’Anna prison in Modena, explained to reporters.
The hearing to validate the arrest was set for this morning. Between the tears Monica Santi confirmed the story made by the maid who was in the house at the time.
“She explained that it was not a premeditated gesture but the result of an illness that suddenly hit her. She found herself in a state of catalepsy, he used this very word. She felt suffocated and she made this gesture for which she cannot give any explanation. After making this gesture, she says that she was in a parallel reality and she did not understand what she was happening to him. The only thing she was able to do was go downstairs and go to the cleaning lady who was downstairs and say the sentence: ‘The baby is now free’. ‘
According to the lawyer, this sentence was meant to be a request for help. «She repeated that sentence two or three times as the lady did not understand what she was saying. Only after the maid did she realize that the baby was on the back. She was devoid of feeling, she was immobilized. She was able to say that in the last period, following dissatisfaction in the workplace, preceding the babysitting job, a sense of abandonment and insecurity was born in her. She needed attention that she couldn’t get from anyone. She thought she could manage this malaise of her. “
From prison she continues to ask about the child’s condition and to cry. He should be appointed an expert for an appraisal. For now he stays in prison. “At this stage, pre-trial detention is the one that can best protect you,” said the lawyer. The child is hospitalized at the Maggiore hospital in Bologna in always serious conditions, but not in immediate danger of life.
