“He can’t do anything alone,” he said. “I feed him, I wash, I do everything. He doesn’t speak yet, there’s no words.”
His father Matthew claims that he witnessed a medical examination in Westmead in April 2019. “I saw my daughter’s head forward and returned,” he said. He says he had returned to his eyes later on that day. Tomi was discharged from the hospital three days later.
But only weeks after returning home, Tomi stopped breathing and turned blue. His family says he returned to the hospital where doctors discovered bleeding in his brain. A medical report described the injury as “very relevant ve and argued that it was consistent with“ tremor injury ”.
According to the police records, the personnel in the hospital warned the authorities at that time. However, the NSW Police Child Abuse Unit later closed the investigation and closed the investigation stating that Tomi could not be “connected to the time after returning home. A doctor told the police that the possibility of one of the hospitals could not be ignored, although he was likely not to take place in the hospital.
Legal procedure against the hospital
Tomi’s parents are now legally trading at the Supreme Supreme Supreme Court of South Wales and requires accountability from the hospital system they once trusted. “We were in the hospital every day. We trusted them very much,” he said. Orum I want justice for my daughter, Mat Matthew added.
Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network refused to comment by referring to ongoing legal procedures.
