It has been two weeks since police launched an investigation over concerns for a child’s welfare in Welling - with little change in the situation.
Met Police say enquiries are still ongoing following the incident at an address in Upper Wickham Lane on Thursday, May 21.
Officers arrested a 34-year-old woman and a 45-year-old man on suspicion of cruelty to or neglect of a child on the day concerns were raised.
Both were later released on police bail, where they remain while investigations continue.
A 14-year-old boy was taken to hospital with injuries.
