A long series of medical errors deprived Sebastian Lungu of the right to a normal life. The child died in July 2022, a few days before his 15th birthday. His parents exclusively tell All About Mothers how they got into this situation and how they manage to move on without Sebastian.

In the summer of 2007, a dramatic birth at Bucharest University Hospital made headlines. An incredible series of medical errors led to the fact that little Sebastian strangled his umbilical cord and deprived his brain of oxygen for tens of minutes.

Without being able to walk, talk or even be able to swallow your own saliva. From that moment, the parents’ life changed 180 degrees. In addition to the superhuman efforts of caring for the baby, they fought a terrible battle to bring to justice those who destroyed their existence.
