Staff from the Police Investigation Brigade, the Secretariat of the Ministry of Childhood and authorities of the Juvenile Prosecutor's Office intervened and took the child away from the parents.
The young girl is now in the temporary care of her grandmother.
Her mother may be tried in the juvenile justice system as, aged 17, she is still a minor. Her current legal status and that of the girl's father were not reported.
Netizens were quick to express their disgust, with 'Gabby Gomez' posting: "They deserve the worst! Poor princess. They do not deserve to be parents. That small angel."
"Natalia Sosa' added: 'Parents? They are not parents, anyone can have children but that does not make them parents."
