In what has to be one of the most disturbing cases of 2010, a doctor at Harbor Hospital in Baltimore has confirmed that an 18-month old girl has contracted gonorrhea after being sexually abused.
Although no charges had been filed at press time, Baltimore police are questioning a friend of the girl’s family who was left alone with the child. Her parents recently spoke out about this horrible incident.
“I went to run an errand and I expected when I came back that my children would not be physically, sexually, mentally or spiritually abused in any way,” the girl’s mother said.
The girl’s father also spoke with reporters. “We’re still hanging in there as strong parents, as we should be,” he said. “But the matter will get handled one way or another, before I get him or the cops get him.” –a.r.
