A man in Norway faces criminal charges for pouring glue over a sleeping child's face and body. Police described the case as highly unusual.
The incidents occurred in December 2023 and January 2024. Both times the child was asleep when the alleged attacks happened.
Court documents reveal disturbing details. After the first incident, doctors had to anesthetize the child to remove glue from the eyes.
Medical reports show the left eyelid was glued almost completely shut. Anesthesia was medically necessary to cut open the eyelid. Glue residue remained in the child's eyelashes. The actions caused severe pain to the minor.
The accused man denies criminal guilt for the charges against him. His defense attorney confirmed this position to media.
What makes this case particularly troubling? The defendant is not related to the child but had a close relationship with the victim.
Norwegian child protection cases rarely involve such extreme physical harm. Police officials expressed shock at the nature of the allegations.
This case highlights serious questions about child safety and adult supervision. Pouring adhesive on a sleeping child represents a severe violation of trust and basic human decency.
