New York, (PTI): The two-month-old son of an Indian couple has been placed in foster care by US child welfare officials after he was admitted to a local hospital with head injuries in New Jersey.
Ashvid Pareek slipped from his mother's hands and hit his head on a TV stand before falling hard on the floor last month, his family said.
The baby was rushed to a hospital where he was diagnosed with serious internal injuries to his head. After initial treatment, the hospital transferred Ashvid to another hospital where doctors reported the case to the department of child protection and permanency.
Local authorities said the child suffered from "shaken baby syndrome' and did not agree with the parents' version. They said the parents had neglected to take care of their child.
The parents, Ashish and Vidisha Pareek, were not given permission to meet their son while in hospital. After recovery, the baby was handed over to foster care last week.
The couple have been living in the US since August. Ashish works for Tata Consultancy Services.
The Indian consulate in New York said legal procedures will have to be followed in the case since it has gone to court. The consulate is in touch with the couple and the local authorities.
