On December 6, a father was sentenced to five years in prison for shaking his two-month-old infant to death in February 2019. Nathanaël K. was found guilty of violence resulting in death without intent to kill. During the trial, the court highlighted the ‘shaken baby syndrome’ and ruled that the acts were deliberate, not merely clumsy. The victim’s mother, Aude Lafitte, expressed her dissatisfaction with the sentence, feeling it undervalued her son’s life and reflected a societal tolerance of such violence against children.
