Woman's life paralyzed as ex-partner holds their baby

Azul's life has been paralyzed for a month after her ex-partner took their baby and is not allowing her to see her in San Carlos de Bariloche. During these days of ordeal, the victim posted several videos on social media showing the violence exerted by Luciano Fertonani, and in one of them, it is confirmed that the aggressor tried to run her over on several occasions. Paola Onore, Azul's lawyer, spoke with Noticias Argentina agency and gave details of when the young woman's ordeal began and the current judicial situation of the subject, against whom various complaints have already been filed with the Justice system. In mid-December, the baby suffered a burn on her skin after boiling water fell on her while the young woman was drinking mate. It was at that moment that the ordeal began. In the following days, the young woman was unable to contact the accused because he blocked her, which is why she decided to go to social media to publicize the incident and start filing complaints against the aggressor. In one of them, she recounted that medical staff informed her of several episodes of aggressiveness, behavioral changes, insults to medical staff, and situations of verbal violence while the minor was hospitalized. Faced with this situation, Onore confirmed to NA that with the viralization of the case, the Family Court on duty granted the request for a judicial recess, so they requested the immediate restitution of the child, although to date there is no resolution. A previous impediment and a near-fatal run-over. Azul recounted on her social networks that a month and a half before this last scenario, Fertonani had already retained the minor, so she decided to go to the place where he works: 'I tried to open the door and one of the glasses shattered. There he alleged that Azul was exercising violence, so he did not allow me to visit her. Although I cornered him so he wouldn't escape with his truck, on three occasions he tried to run me over, and in the last one, he ran over my foot with the wheel.' 'That day, the Police convinced me to hand over the minor because there was no judicial order preventing me from seeing her or approaching her,' she highlighted and added that she was detained for six hours for the 'attack' on the premises. Breastfeeding. 'The girl is in the breastfeeding stage, being fed at the breast by her mother until the time she was actually detained by her father. Since then, the absolute contact ban, unilaterally imposed, has abruptly interrupted breastfeeding without any medical justification, affecting not only the nutritional aspect but also the primary bond, attachment, and emotional containment typical of this developmental stage,' stated Onore. In this situation, Azul 'continues to express milk daily with the sole objective of preserving breastfeeding, demonstrating her will, capacity, and commitment to the comprehensive care of her daughter.' 'The interruption of the mother-child bond at this sensitive stage constitutes a concrete and current harm to the girl,' the lawyer argued. Hearing. This Thursday, interviews will be held with the technical team to evaluate the case, and it is expected that on January 20, a hearing will be held 'to reach some agreement regarding the custody of the baby.'
