A young girl who told her doctor she didn’t want to go back home to abuse has passed away after spending months in a hospital’s intensive care unit, LaJornada De Oriente reports.
As CrimeOnline previously reported, a neighbor took Yatziri, 7, to the Hospital de Las Margaritas in Pueblo, Mexico, in August, after witnessing mistreatment. Doctors noted that she had internal bleeding, a collapsed lung, burn marks on her back, cigarette burns on her arms and hands, and signs of sexual assault.
“’I want to die, don’t heal me anymore’,” the little girl said, according to a statement doctors gave to investigators. “‘I don’t want to go back to my parents so they can keep hitting me.”
