According to aeolos.tv reports, the infant was taken to Mytilene Hospital, where doctors determined due to the severity of the burn injuries to the head and body that emergency transfer to a hospital in Athens was necessary. Coast Guard officials arrested the 20-year-old waitress.
According to reports, the 20-year-old was released a few hours later on orders from the Public Prosecutor. The Prosecutor will decide whether to press charges against the young waitress, after taking statements from the parents, who are currently in Athens with their child.
