Over the years, the case has continued to generate great commotion and public debate in Brazil about domestic and child violence.

Henry Case

 

The case of Henry  , a 4-year-old boy who died in March 2021, has become one of the most discussed and tragic recent criminal events in Brazil, and has yet to be resolved.

 

Henrys stepfather, Dr. Jairo Souza Santos Júnior, , and the boy's mother, Monique Medeiros, are defendants in the crime. Both were charged with double homicide and torture, and are being held in preventive detention.

 

The investigation indicates that Henry suffered a series of physical attacks that culminated in his death from internal bleeding and liver laceration, caused by a violent action.

The former councilman and Monique deny that there was any aggression against Henry. According to both versions, the boy hurt himself when he fell from the bed where he was sleeping.

 

Judge Elizabeth Machado, of the II Jury Court, ordered that the former couple be brought before a jury trial, but the trial has not yet been scheduled.

 

The repercussions of the case generated significant debates about child protection, parental responsibility and the justice system in Brazil. In May 2022, the Henry Law (Law 14.344/22) was enacted, which expanded protective measures for children and adolescents who are victims of domestic or family violence and now considers the murder of a minor under 14 years of age a heinous crime, with a prison sentence of 12 to 30 years.
