A 4-month-old baby in Egypt has died after both his parents left him alone for nine days in the house.
According to Youm 7, the incident happened in Qalyubia, when the 28-year-old father and 24-year-old mother abandoned their child, Anas, for nine days.
Both have been arrested.
According to the report, the wife lied to her husband after an argument with him, and left the house with her elder son, saying she was going to buy groceries. She instead went to her parents' house. The husband, on the other hand, went to work, which causes him to be away from home for a week or more. When he returned, he found that the baby had died.
He reported the matter to the police and accused the mother of abandoning the baby.
The mother said that she thought the baby was with his father, who had in turn left the apartment thinking she will return, but she didn't.
