Parents arrested in Italy for beating and starving their children

Police in Bellona, in the southern province of Caserta, arrested the parents of two young girls for neglectg and mistreating their children.

They allegedly beat the children and left them for long spells without food or attention. The victims are a six-month-old baby and her three-year-old sister who lived in poverty in the town of Bellona.

The baby had injuries in her limbs that appear to be the result of shaking baby syndrome.

The parents, aged 32 and 35, have been taken to jail.

The police opened up an investigation in January after the baby ended up in hospital with broken bones and doctors reported the injuries.

The older girl also told her nursery school teacher about the mistreatment and the teacher reported it to the police.
