A truly incredible story that comes from distant India. His mother saw him kidnapped before her eyes without being able to do anything. The newborn was later found dead on the terrace of an adjacent house in a village near the city of Agra, in northern India, in the state of Uttar Pradesh. What is most disturbing about this whole story is the fact that the infant's "kidnapper" is a monkey. The events took place last week. According to the reconstructions, mother and son were at home when a monkey, probably in search of food, sneaked into the bedroom and grabbed the newborn sleeping in his crib protected by a mosquito net. The woman, taken by surprise, was unable to intervene in time while the neighbors tried to come to her mother's rescue by hearing her scream. “They threw stones at the monkey to force her to release the baby, but the animal quickly jumped onto the roof of the house and disappeared. The damage was done, the child had already been seriously injured in the face, a local police official said. The autopsy revealed that the child died from the bites he received. According to the villagers, the local government must answer for this tragedy. Just hours after his death, thousands of residents went to the local forester's office to protest the lack of security in the area. Monkey attacks are common in India, especially in the capital New Delhi. In March last year, schools were closed in the Kendrapada district of Odisha due to frequent attacks by animals. In the village of Talabasta, a 15-day-old baby was kidnapped from his crib and thrown into a well, killing him. Over the years, wild deforestation has changed the biological balance of monkeys and not only and has altered their behavior, highlights Giovanni D'Agata, president of the "Rights Window". Monkeys, in fact, often attack humans, especially in the face, and infections caused by bites are very common, as it is common for monkeys to enter homes and attack the inhabitants who surprise them. The bites are hardly lethal, but the assaults can be very dangerous as in the not isolated case of this tragedy.
