A nine-week-old baby in Kristianstad, Sweden, was found with 23 broken bones, including fractures in the ribs, arms, and wrists.

The parents, who sought medical care for their child, claimed a too-tight baby sling caused the injuries.

However, a forensic examiner suggested repeated blunt force trauma was the likely cause.

Due to insufficient evidence, charges against the parents were dropped, but the child remains in foster care.

The case highlights the responsibilities of reporting potential child abuse, as the social services continue to monitor the situation.
