According to court documents, at the centre of the family’s row with the authorities is a genital injury Baby M suffered when she was seven months old. It has one doctor saying that they’d “never seen such a severe genital injury in an infant” and that she needed surgery to fix it.
The child protection services took her away saying they suspected sexual abuse - an accusation the family denied. The hospital where she was treated cleared them later, with doctors certifying that “there was no evidence” to suggest sexual abuse and the police closed the case without pressing charges.
The parents say they believe the injury was accidental. Two independent doctors from the US and India who saw the baby’s medical records agreed with that assessment.
“The injury highly likely was caused by an accident. It was impossible that parents intentionally inflicted injuries on her repeatedly and then rushed her to the doctors,” they said in a report submitted in court. They added that they believed that “her injuries could’ve been worsened because of all the invasive examinations” she was put through.
But the child protection authorities said they didn’t think that Baby M would be safe at home - a contention the court agreed with.
