Two Baltimore parents face charges in the death of their 2-month-old daughter, Aida Alvarado, who became unresponsive after being fed. AZ Family reports that 21-year-old Oscar Pineda told police Satan and supernatural forces caused the injuries that killed his infant daughter. Doctors discovered severe bruising around the child's eyes and jawline, along with multiple skull fractures and significant head and brain trauma.
Both parents noticed bruises on their daughter and vomiting the following day but did not seek medical care, according to AZ Family. Prosecutors are investigating whether the injuries resulted from abuse and may upgrade charges to homicide based on medical examiner findings. Doctors determined the injuries could not have come from a fall from a bed.
Mother Brought Unresponsive Infant to Hospital
Katerin Monzon-Alvarado rushed 2-month-old Aida to Harbor Hospital when the child became unresponsive while lying face down in bed. KKTV reports that medical staff immediately noticed suspicious bruising around the infant's eyes and jawline. Further examination revealed the child had suffered multiple skull fractures and significant head and brain trauma.
Parents Delayed Treatment Despite Visible Signs
Both parents admitted to seeing bruises on their daughter and noticed vomiting the next day but failed to get her medical attention, KCRG reports. The delay in treatment proved fatal for the 2-month-old. Police questioned why the parents did not seek help immediately after noticing these warning signs.
Father's Supernatural Explanation Contradicts Medical Evidence
Oscar Pineda told police that Satan and a supernatural force caused his daughter's injuries, according to 21 Alive News. This explanation directly conflicts with doctors' findings. Medical experts stated the trauma could not have resulted from an accidental fall from a bed.
Prosecutors May Upgrade Charges to Homicide
Prosecutors are reviewing whether to upgrade the charges to homicide based on the medical examiner's findings, Fox Carolina reports. The severity of the head trauma and multiple skull fractures suggest intentional injury rather than accident. A decision on upgraded charges is expected as the investigation continues.
