The National Police reported an arrest in Marbella last Wednesday involving a 42-year-old man and the mother of an eleven-month-old baby. The child was admitted to hospital in critical condition after reportedly consuming marijuana, an incident tied to the parents’ alleged behavior following a dinner out. The mother is also under arrest for suspected involvement in what happened.
Authorities allege that the man bears responsibility for abandoning his child. Medical examinations suggest the infant may have ingested marijuana during the night, raising concerns about the guardians’ duties and the child’s safety under their care.
Medical staff described the infant’s arrival at the emergency department with signs of cyanosis and a reduced level of responsiveness. These alarming symptoms were reportedly associated with the parents’ prior purchase of marijuana, according to statements given to the Provincial Police Station.

Police and health responders, summoned by medical personnel to the hospital, continued to assess the situation after confirming possible chemical exposure. The man who is accused of abandoning the child was arrested at the scene, while the mother faced arrest for alleged involvement in the events surrounding the case.
Home searches yielded containers containing marijuana, prompting statements from the General Directorate of Security. The young child, now under surveillance services, remained conscious and awaiting discharge at the time of reporting. The Marbella Detention Investigation Court No. 2 is handling the case as it progresses.
