One-year-old dies after alleged negligence at 'Babyland' nursery in Los Olivos; police detain director and two workers

A one-year-old baby died under suspicious circumstances at the 'Babyland' nursery in the Los Olivos district of Peru. The child's parents rushed him to the hospital after receiving an emergency call from the daycare, but doctors confirmed he had already passed away.

The baby exhibited visible signs of violence, including bruises on his face and body, according to the police report. The incident occurred on a Friday when the child was left at the nursery in the morning, as usual. Hours later, staff called the parents, stating the baby was unresponsive.

Police have detained the nursery's director, Wendy Susana Berrocal Almeyda, 46, and two caregivers, Ariana Brigitte Ccaccya Vega, 22, and Anyeli Elizabeth Nunton Farroñay, 19. The director claimed the child's mother had mentioned he was unwell and that he had participated in activities throughout the morning. She stated she contacted the mother when she noticed the child was not reacting.

Authorities are continuing to gather testimonies and evidence to determine the exact events that transpired during the hours the baby was under the nursery's care and to establish any potential responsibility of the staff. The case has caused significant distress among residents in Los Olivos due to the victim's young age.
