From Associated Press: Doctors in Sao Paulo, Brazil "have decided not to immediately remove nine of 31 needles found in a toddler's body because his life is no longer in danger." Apparently Dr. Roque Aras, lead surgeon in the 2-year-old's surgeries, has decided because the remaining needles are small and do not pose a significant threat to the child's life, the needles are to remain inside him for the time being. While this may not sound bad at first, Dr. Aras said he isn't ruling out future operations, leaving open the possibility that the remaining needles could be removed as much as a year or more later, if at all.
This is my opinion, give the boy a couple of days to recuperate from the surgeries he's already had and then go in and get the remaining needles. To do so otherwise is to make the child a gazingstock among his friends, and will make the boy wonder why the doctor did not go ahead and get the other needles early on.
Also, why haven't charges been brought against the father and his lover for doing this thing? The father, Roberto Carlos Magalhaes, confessed to pushing the needles, supposedly "blessed" by a woman, Angelina Ribeiro dos Santos, while she was in trances. This not only is harmful to the emotional health of the child, but is called child endangerment. The boy potentially could have been killed. The father and his mistress both were arrested, but no charges were filed. Mr. Magalhaes even admitted on Globo TV he wanted to kill the child to spite his wife. This is nothing less that premeditated attempted murder. I'm not sure of Brazilian law, but here in America the woman can be prosecuted as an accomplice to the deed because she is the one who told him to do it.
