531. BRAZIL: macabre experiments on children with impunity

By an agreement with the prosecution of the Federal District, the dentist Wilson Oliveira Santos who took all the teeth Cesar Oliveira Ferreira will pay 51 thousand Brazilian reais.
However, the procedure done in absentia of those responsible for the boy had much milder fate: he got rid of the punishment in violation process which analyzed the four sections of the Code of Ethics in Dental Article fifth, just what is the fundamental duties of professionals and entities of Dentistry.

The barbarity of the sentence applied to the heinous crime committed on persons under the age reveals far as the lack of professional ethics can go; unfortunate that crimes such absurd to pass unscathed dental organizations and the Brazilian courts.
I believe this crime committed in another country would have a sentence of several years in prison and a ban for the rest of the life of dental hygienist to have any contact with children.
Unfortunately the crime was committed within the borders of Brazil. There are international voices to denounce human rights violations wherever they occur.
