The incident took place in the town of Warnes near Santa Cruz, Bolivia, when the victim was left in the care of his sister in their rented home.

Local reports say the suspect in the crime has been identified as the landlady’s niece Lizeth.

She is said to have accused the toddler of breaking her credit card and damaging her mobile phone case and whipped him with either a metal wire or a stick, according to the boy’s teenage sister.

The family will be given psychological and legal help over the assault.

Del Castillo said that the suspect has been arrested. Another woman, whose identity has not been revealed, has been also detained in connection with the alleged assault.
